    “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));

    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?

    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

    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

    If 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 users

    so 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

    Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin

    finally you would use

    bbPress Messages

    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.

    my 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

    there is no [bbp-forum-profile] which is why I wrote the bsp profile – what is your concern in using that one ?

    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

    function change_reply_order() {
    $args['order'] = 'DESC';
     return $args;
    }
    add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

    @ricsca2 – I’m pretty sure it just uses the wordpress default excerpt length, which you can amend – see this for 3 methods

    How to Change The Default Excerpt Length In WordPress

    if this works, please post back so we know 🙂

    no not bbpress, you’ll need to find what is adding it

    from that post, it appears that the links were working, but have stopped working ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    which field do you mean? – bbpress doesn’t store anything google+ related, in fact bbpress doesn’t store any social media fields at all – WordPress does, and it might also be your theme or another plugin adding these

    @robin-w
