The plugin ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ could’ve helped buy I’m getting an error when I activate it.
so what exact error message are you getting ?
great – thanks for the info, and hopefully you can now carry on
ok, we need to be sure what we are talking about.
if you have :
bbpress in dashboard>plugins
you have template files in your child theme under a folder called bbpress
then bbpress should be at the latest version
but the template files can be older, they just pull in information to display, and if they are not breaking anything, then that is fine.
ok,
so if I am understanding, you have bbpress template files in your child theme under a folder called bbpress
These are just templates which can be amended to get the look you want, which is obviously what tyhe multinews theme has done.
so if correct you have 3 choices
- stay with the new files and lose the presentation you had
- go back to the old files – if they work, they are just templates and should be fine
- work out which templates are causing the issue and look to update these to any new code (which would require you to understand some php)
If everything was working, then I’d suggest you go back to the old files.
so you had something that was working but now is not ?
sorry shoudl be != means not equal
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ($role != 'bbp_blocked' && $post_count > 4)
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ($role == 'bbp_blocked' && $post_count > 4)
ok, that will be the issue – you must be keymaster to see the dashboard items
I have just had a thought, when you are looking at this, what level bbpress access does the person viewing it have, they should have both administrator and keymaster as seen in dashboard>users
very strange !
ok try this
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save, this resets the permalinks.
My guess is this will not fix, but let’s eliminate
ok, so does anything show on the front end – where the users see forums ?
ok, sorry not sure I can help further.
ok, just checking.
If you have performed the tests above with just bbpress active and a default theme, then these should appear, I can only suggest that your site is somehow corrupt.
do you get anything showing in
dashboard>tools>forums
or
dashboard>settings>forums?
ok, can you explain what you mean by
‘ the forum, discussion and answers tab does not appear on the wordpress desktop.’
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
probably worth asking in the buddypress support page as well, as looks like that is affecting
BuddyPress
ok, sorry, you’ll need to work out why not, this is site specific.
I’d start by matching the from email in
Settings->bbp-style-pack->Subscriptions Emails -> 1
to the sending email in your easy WP smtp
so did the test email from Settings->bbp-style-pack->Subscriptions Emails -> 9. Send test email also work?
runs fine on my test sites
does Easy WP SMTP have an email test option?
not sure what you mean by one at a time – one user or one topic/reply.
If the latter, then dashboard>topics or reply and edit will let you set the author
so if you delete them, you will get the option to assign their posts to another.
Many sites create a dummy user and call that user things like ‘ex member’ and assign content to that one user.
if you don’t want to delete users, then I don’t know of a plugin that will bulk assign.
It would not be that hard to write though
Private groups
and enable topic permissions
you are using the widget from the bbpresstweaks plugin, I cannot say why this is not working.
Try the one from bbpress.
