is it possible to have a link to your site and an example on it ?
you probably need to correct the total
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
ok, many questions… but lets start with
what version did you upgrade from ?
which template files are they missing from ?
I am just a bbpress user who helps out here – I have no power to change code. I can log a defect, but I’ll only do that if I can also see an issue
That’s fine – I’m also UK 🙂
there are many additional plugins which add functionality to bbpress, just as there are for almost all the popular wordpress plugins (eg woocommerce, contact form 7 etc. all have a host of additional plugins)
Just add style pack and enjoy 🙂
Have you a link to an example – they line up on my test site
if you have one forum and one topic, you probably don’t need a statistics widget 🙂
However I’ve logged a defect
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3428#ticket
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/replyid
If 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
https://www.amazon.co.uk/?&tag=hydraamazonav-21&ref=pd_sl_781ozcfkw8_e&adgrpid=52740778523&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=441815611363&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16287605677804181215&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006704&hvtargid=kwd-10573980&hydadcr=13724_2033556&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsvmZmMn27wIVc_bVCh27fwCnEAAYASAAEgLOT_D_BwE
hardly pretty, but do I care one jot – ummmm… no I am interested in content, not the url 🙂
I’d suggest you install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display
and/or
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates
This 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]
The 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
you 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
ok, so if you are happy to move them to a different forum, then contact me via
Contact me
and I’ll give you some code
just 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?
thanks 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.
[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.
[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.
not quite sure what you mean, but the answers almost certainly no 🙂
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
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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
@tcmdoc61 great – glad you are fixed !!
