In reply to: Breadcrumbs link nightmare?
ok, but what is the permalink of your forums page ?
In reply to: Breadcrumbs link nightmare?In reply to: List Of ShortcodesIs there no way I could add the profile as I did with the forum index? It was super easy just using [bbp-forum-index]
– no, the way profiles work doesn’t easily lend to that 🙂
1. Go to
and download the plugin to your computer – make a note of where you saved it !
2. on your website go to dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and browse to the file you downloaded in 1. above
3. Install and Activate
4. If you already have a page called ‘Profile’ then make sure this has the permalink ‘profile’
5. If not then create a page called ‘Profile’ and make sure it has the permalink ‘profile’
6. in the content of the profile page put something like‘You need to be logged in to see your profile’ – you can add the bbpress login shortcode in here as well if you wish ie [bbp-login]
The above is what will show to people who click the profile menu item who are not logged in
Save the page and exit
7. In Dashboard>appearance>menu’s add the profile page to the menu you want to.
now you will have ‘Profile’ showing as the menu item, and if clicked and logged in you will go to your profile page, if not logged in, you will see the content above.
In reply to: New posts freezing@mike80222 – I’m trying to find time to think about this, but in the meantime 2 thoughts
1. the default for 5.6 issues is to install
2. bbpress only has a text editor as standard in front end , so how are you doing the visual editor you are switching to?
In reply to: List Of Shortcodes@flamuren great – do you want it as code to out in your child theme functions file or a baby plugin?
In reply to: Breadcrumbs link nightmare?go to dashboard>settings>forums and look at the forum root slug – it will probably be forums and the forum single slug is forum.
so call your page ‘forums’ and make sure the permalink for that page is also ‘forums’ and it will all work 🙂
In reply to: New posts freezing@mike80222 Mike – saw that thread, but buried in paid work at the mo – but what are you using to show the visual part -some code, a plugin (maybe bbp style pack) or something else?
In reply to: List Of Shortcodesso how do the users get to the profile, just having a profile page is complicated.
ie so what is sending users to this page ?
In reply to: new topic occur error on PHP8no problem – php 8 is a lot tougher on getting the syntax right!
In reply to: BBPRESS not showing all Sub ForumsSame here. I have 2 empty sub-forums. They are not showing when Style Pack is active.
– If I turn the plugin off, the subforums are visible.
– When I turn ‘Change order of forums’ off in Style Pack, subforums are visible too with StylePack installed (and activated).I cannot replicate this, what order do you have set in change order of forums?
In reply to: Approve new user by add-code in function.phpcouple of questions
1. what is the issue with using a plugin to do this?
2. I presume this is with the ‘anyone can register’ set, rather than a register form?
3. how will the moderator know that a new user has applied?
4. how will the user know they have been approved?In reply to: new topic occur error on PHP8“Health Check & Troubleshooting” This plugin is very useful
yes, I only found that plugin a few months ago – it is good 🙂
given that the simple counts plugin is not being maintained, there seems no reason why you should not just alter it.
The problem is that it is seeing the value retrieved from the database as a string, so we need to convert it to an integer
so try changing line 94
from
$hitCount = get_post_meta($post_id, 'bbp_svc_viewcounts', true);to
$hitCount = int (get_post_meta($post_id, 'bbp_svc_viewcounts', true));In reply to: new topic occur error on PHP8ok, come back when you have done so
In reply to: List Of Shortcodesok, the profile is called via a url
so is this page you want to have just got the profile in it, or other content?
In reply to: new topic occur error on PHP8works fine on my test site – I can only suggest 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: Layout to separate categories from forumsif you’re happy using bbpress templates, then grab the version from my style pack plugin
it is in
plugins\bbp-style-pack\trunk\templates\templates1\loop-forums.php
it should work if you just copy it to your child theme’s bbpress folder.
Alternately you can just use the plugin and once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates
In reply to: Creating an Membership Site + ForumIf you are happy to have a hands on approach to user registrations, then you probably don’t need a membership plugin.
As far as the bbpress part goes
forums set to public are viewable by anyone
forums set to private are viewable only by registered usersso if you set forums to private they will not appear to unregistered users, so only visible once a user has logged in. If you set not to allow anonymous posting (dashboard>settings>forums) , then only registered users will be able to post.
bbpress just uses wordpress users for login and registration with an extra bbpress parameter, so you can just use wordpress to set up users.
If you are going to have manual registration, then you turn off ‘anyone can register’ in wordpress (dashboard>settings>general>membership), and create a form using a form plugin (eg contact form 7) to let users ask to register with whatever fields you want. This will be emailed to whoever you want, who can then decide if they should allow membership.
You can then take payment manually (eg bank transfer) or via say a Paypal link on your site.The approver would then add the user (2 minutes or less).
As far as wordpress page content then use a plugin that restricts content to registered users such as
finally you would use
to allow uses to message each other – don’t worry that this plugin has not been updated for a while – it is stable and works
as far as I can see that would meet your requirements list.
In reply to: Creating an Membership Site + Forummy virus checker doesn’t like sploitus website – what is the nature of the exploitation ?
ok, not quite sure what that means, but unless it reoccurs, I think you should be ok
most likely caching – great – glad you are fixed
In reply to: BBPRESS not showing all Sub Forumsok, thanks, let me take a look
In reply to: List Of Shortcodesthere is no [bbp-forum-profile] which is why I wrote the bsp profile – what is your concern in using that one ?
In reply to: List Of ShortcodesIn reply to: bbPress Topics for Posts comment@ricsca2 I’ve just released version 1.8.5 which should fix duplicate topics being created
In reply to: Links being stripped in postshmmm…can only suggest that you try the basic fault finding….
