great – glad you are fixed !!

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

sorry, I was looking for the topic – I knew this one had cropped up before

It is a known bug, the answer is

Deactivate and reactivate All in One SEO and the bbPress menu links will appear.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

yes, let me come back shortly

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

ok, yes that should give you the forum button on the dashboard.

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

if three is another keymaster then they can make you a keymaster.

If there are no keymasters, then install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you will see the option to make yourself keymaster.

After you have done this, you can deactivate and delete the style pack plugin, but you might want to check out it’s features.

Private groups

and look at topic permissions

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

so it works except widgets and shortcode? (and which shortcode?)

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

strongly suspect the issue is that you are running on a staging site, so conflict between the actual url and the one in the wordpress database

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

link to your site so I can try it please

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

no there isn’t 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

ok, so when someone tries to register, what happens?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

so if you are allowing registration, how are users registering – what widget or shortcode or method are you using ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

users need to register, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so you have lots of options for doing this.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

if viewing as a ‘guest’ then presumably you are not logged in so have no identity, so the system doesn’t know who you are, so there are no subscriptions or email address to notify

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

hmmm…

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so users should be able to just register and get participant access.

what have you got set in

dashboard>settings>forums>Roles?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

I think your theme is adding another one in the bbpress templates

so in 2.6.x they are added in

\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php

so your have 2 choices

a. the better one
Look in each of the files you listed as being bbpress in your themes template and look for a line which says something like

bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' );

and edit out this line

b. If you can’t find it there, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove the line which says

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘user-login’ ); ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Repeat this for form-topic.php

Still waiting to see if people using the Forums are having any issues using them.

not sure what this means 🙂

I would like to change the font color against the maroon top bars, from black to yellow, or grey, but I am not finding the right tab to do so.

probably theme related, but link to an example on your site please.

Why are there tabs for setting up logins/logim failures, if logging in is accomplished at the WordPress level?

bbpress has some widgets and shortcodes that let users enter username and password. these details are passed to wordpress security to go through login.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

what do you mean by ‘send message’ ? do you mean submit topics and replies? bbpress does not have messages as standard.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

with a link to this thread 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

great – glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

ok, not sure I can help further, it looks site specific.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

‘Private’ is a wordpress/bbpress conflict – and it is annoying !!

either

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

some code from one of my plugins (bbp-style-pack) that plays with this area might help

add_action ('bbp_new_topic_post_extras' , 'bsp_topic_tags_process' ) ;
	add_action ('bbp_edit_topic_post_extras' , 'bsp_topic_tags_process' ) ;
	add_action( 'bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'bsp_reply_tags_process' );
	add_action( 'bbp_edit_reply_post_extras', 'bsp_reply_tags_process' );

//handle topic tags

function bsp_topic_tags_process ($topic_id) {
	if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && ! empty( $_POST['bbp_topic_tags'] ) ) {
		
		$terms = $_POST['bbp_topic_tags'] ;
		
		// Add topic tag ID as main key
		$terms = array( bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => $terms );
		
		$topic_data = array(
		'ID'           => $topic_id,
		'tax_input'    => $terms,
		) ;
		$topic_id = wp_update_post( $topic_data );
		
		
	}
}

function bsp_reply_tags_process ($reply_id) {
	if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && ! empty( $_POST['bbp_topic_tags'] ) ) {
		$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id ($reply_id) ;
		
		$terms = $_POST['bbp_topic_tags'] ;
		
		// Add topic tag ID as main key
		$terms = array( bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => $terms );
		
		$topic_data = array(
		'ID'           => $topic_id,
		'tax_input'    => $terms,
		) ;
		$topic_id = wp_update_post( $topic_data );
	}
}
