In reply to: Remove “forum” from url slug
Will it create any problems changing it or why is this function like this (wouldn’t everybody like it unticked I mean?)?
It should not create problems if you untick.
the forums part just gives a consistent custom post structure so you have
/forums/forum/forum-name
/forums/topic/topic-name
/forums/reply/replyidIf you are running multiple forum platforms (eg bbpress alongside say wpforo or asgaros etc. – say you are transitioning), then this structure makes sense.
My personal view is that only site admins ever worry about urls. When was the last time you looked at a url for a site you were visiting.
I just visited Amazon, and this is the url I get
hardly pretty, but do I care one jot – ummmm… no I am interested in content, not the url 🙂

In reply to: Defoult Page vs Shortcode pageThis simply allows you to create a page with some other content as well, for instance
Welcome to our forums - debate is free here, but please be kind to each other [bbp-forum-index]In reply to: Remove “forum” from url slugThe two links you quote are from a very old version, now defunct.
go to
dashboard>settings>forums and you will see the forum root slug and underneath that ‘Forum Prefix’ – untick this
In reply to: Multiple Forum Indexesyou need the id=1 to be the actual forum ID.
so go to
dashboard>forums>all forums and click the ‘edit’ button of a forum, you will see in url at the top
eg
http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=29602&action=edit
so 29602 is the ID of that forum
In reply to: Archive old topicsok, so if you are happy to move them to a different forum, then contact me via
and I’ll give you some code
In reply to: Archive old topicsjust looked – not as easy as I thought !!
so in dashboard>topics>all topics
you can edit a topic and move it to a dufferent forum (say called ‘archive’), but this is a one at a time job.
Do you have a selection criteria – eg all older than x?
In reply to: Archive old topicsthanks for your question.
Can I ask why? Sorry I’m not questioning that you wish to do this, but just to understand what you want to be different. You could for instance just create a forum called ‘archive’ and move the topics to there, which would leave them searchable but not in your presumably ‘main’ forum.
In reply to: Enter a post in the forum list[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.

In reply to: Vbulletin to bbpressnot quite sure what you mean, but the answers almost certainly no 🙂
In reply to: Not showing Freshness/just taken a quick look, and yes it is your theme
eg
https://www.ggforo.com/wp-content/themes/ekko/core/assets/css/bbpress.css?ver=5.7
hides freshness on line 1511
In reply to: Not showing Freshness/it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Then come back
In reply to: Forum not showing in WP Dashboard@tcmdoc61 great – glad you are fixed !!

In reply to: bbPress ‘recent Topics’ widget bypasses password?thanks, but of you only protect at ‘page’ level, then all topics and replies are freely visible to users – they are only hidden by people not knowing a topic title.
bbpress itself has forums visible to all (public forums), and/or visible only to logged in (private forums) it does not have a concept of page protection for someone not logged in.
Hence the widgets do not have any protection.
In reply to: bbPress ‘recent Topics’ widget bypasses password?you might want to look at
here you can set up a group – say called ‘members’ and allocate forums and users to that group.
This will automatically show forums/topics/replies to logged in members, but otherwise hide them.
There are widgets in this plugin for recent topics and replies which will hide these
In reply to: Forum not showing in WP Dashboardyou need to be a keymaster as well as admin to see the forum.
great – glad you are fixed
