got 5 minutes this afternoon, so fresh install and bbpress and twenty twenty and login widget in footer exactly as you did, and that logs in fine.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 11 months ago]

ah, I see what you ae getting at – not sure how this site does it, but you can create a link to a page in your site and put

[bbp-topic-index] in that page – that will show the latest 15 topics

If you want better than that, then

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcode

and check out the

[bsp-display-topic-index] which has lots of settings you can use to control what is shown

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 11 months ago]

if you are able to ftp and edit files, then I can give you a template change

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 11 months ago]

it’s a widget

dashboard>appearance>widgets> (bbpress) Recent Topics

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 11 months ago]

If I understand

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;

function rew_tag_desc () {
	echo '<p>words here</p>' ;
}

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

no problem – glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

I don’t doubt you have an issue, but there are 300,000 users of bbpress and if they all had this issue it would be well known.

the problem is working out why you have this issue

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

hmmm…. not how it works in my test site.

The bit about some wp login plugin that you have deacivated?? can you explain more about that?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

you’d need to define down when it happens, always a problem when things just seem to happen – good luck 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

just tried it on my website, and that code works fine.

3 possibilities

1. the 90 is wrong
2. the 90 forum does not have sub forums
3. some other code is filtering the bbp_forum_get_subforums function

If you are happy it is not 1 or 2, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

try

$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums(90);
var_dump($sub_forums);

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

it sends the user to the wordpress login screen,

can you define ‘it’ please – what is sending you where?

you are correctly editing the template, but it needs to be placed in your child-theme

so

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

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/user-profile.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

no problem – hope you get it all working 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

no problem 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

I have just tried it on my test site with WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6, and it changed fine with no issues.

so you go into the edit, and click ‘generate password’ and then type in a paswword and click update Profile and that works.

Is this what you are trying?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

I’m just a user of bbpress and author of bbp style pack.

I can’t say why bbpress authors chose what they did

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

If you choose other SMTP servers as a mailer, then you email/website hoster shoud be able to give you details of what to enter

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

close – means the post still shows, but no-one can add to it
Trash – means put in trash, so the post is no longer shown
Unapprove – makes the topic pending – it is not seen in by users, only moderators and keymasters
sticky – puts the post above ordinary posts in the list – typically to have a topic always at the top

Keymaster – Can create, edit and delete other users’ forums, topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools. Has access to global forum settings, tools, and importer.
Moderator – Can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools.

style pack should let you change them all – you just have to work through the options on each tab.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 12 months ago]

start with the forums styling – that sets much of the site
