    for ‘Follow this link to join the discussion’ – you are welcome to style it as a button if you wish

    go to

    dashbaoard>settings>discussion and change

    Follow this link to join the discussion

    to

    <div class="myButton">Follow this link to join the discussion</div>

    you can then style a button, if you don’t know how go to

    the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

    you are presuming that what your site shows is the same as everyone else’s – can you explain what you mean?

    my test site shows what I would expect

    basic system is fine – the issue is either site specific or words lost in translation between us 🙂

    there are over 300,000 installations of bbpress – if breadcrumbs didn’t work, we’d know about it 🙂

    But I’m glad you are fixed 🙂

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails and there is a box to tick item 2 auto login and the appropriate login

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, I can only suggest you install

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

    where you can reset where the root takes you to back to your forum page

    always really hard to track down an issue which is intermittent and that you cannot repeat at will.

    At the risk of you screaming at me, my recommendation is only to update one thing at a time, and leave it a week or so in between, so that if issues occur, it is normally obvious what the change that caused it was. But I’m sure that’s what you will be doing from now on 🙂

    can I suggest you contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ and I can take a quick free look to see if anything obvious occurs to me. Please reference this thread, so I know what the source is.

    So have you got the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in that page?

    great – glad you are fixed.

    go back to http://rewweb.co.uk

    writing threads that complain about free software offered with free support is not the way to get your problem fixed – so I deleted that one as it serves no purpose.

    In essence the forum root slug simply needs to match the permalink of the page where you have put the shortcode on, then it all works.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, but what is the permalink of your forums page ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    the link you supplied forwards to

    Generelt om klima

    so you have forumet not forums ??

    Is 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

    bbp-add-menu-profile-item

    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.

    @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

    Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

    2. bbpress only has a text editor as standard in front end , so how are you doing the visual editor you are switching to?

    @flamuren great – do you want it as code to out in your child theme functions file or a baby plugin?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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 🙂

    @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?

    so how do the users get to the profile, just having a profile page is complicated.

    ie so what is sending users to this page ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    no problem – php 8 is a lot tougher on getting the syntax right!

    @ikspem

    Same 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?

    @robin-w

    couple 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?

    “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));

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, come back when you have done so

    In reply to: List Of Shortcodes

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, the profile is called via a url

    so is this page you want to have just got the profile in it, or other content?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    works 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

    Health Check & Troubleshooting

    Then come back

    if you’re happy using bbpress templates, then grab the version from my style pack plugin

    bbp style pack

    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
