Install this additional plugin
This is a simple plugin in principle, but can take a bit of time to understand.
So FIRST in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> select the help tab, and take some time to understand how this plugin works !!
Then…
1. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘group name settings’ – set group 1 to a name of your choice, say ‘topics only’
2. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘topic settings’ – click to activate topic settings and save.
3. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘assign groups to roles’ – tick ‘Add group on first or no-group login’ AND set the role ‘subscriber’ to the group 1 name you set in step 1. If you want other roles to only be able to post topics, set these as well. click save.
4. go to dashboard>forums and select the forum you want this to apply to and click ‘edit’ You will see a new box called ‘Forum groups’ Click group 1 and them click update on the right hand side.
5. You will then see topic permissions for this group. select ‘Create/edit topics’
So then the forum uses group 1 permissions which only allow the creation of topics, and subscriber users are in group 1, so that is all they are able to do.
You may need to adjust forum visibility in the plugin settings and non logged-in isers depending on how you forum works.
In reply to: Prevent replies to posts?so anyone can post a topic, but no-one can post a reply – yes ?
great – glad you are fixed 🙂
Apologies, the code should now be showing as released.
Thanks for your patience, I found the issue and fixed it in style pack version 6.4.5 just released
sorry for the delay in replying – I’ll take a look
In reply to: Subscribe/Unsubscribe does not workThanks for the update.
I’m sorry to hear that you have not had a response form them.
In reply to: White Screen of DeathI suspect you are using a block theme also known as “Full Site Editing” or FSE theme
This is one of the “block themes” – this is the new way that WordPress plans to develop themes. BBpress authors are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, add this additional plugin
Come back if this does not work
In reply to: Restricting users to one forum onlyAdd this additional plugin
once activated, go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>help tab and read through how to set this up.
1. so for instance if you wanted ‘editors‘ to have their own private forum, then in
2. dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group name settings and set up group 1 with a name ‘say editors-private-forum’. but could be whatever you want.
3. then in
dashboard>forums – create a forum, or edit an existing forum, and then under the description you will see a section headed ‘Forum Groups’ – assign this forum to the group you set above
so this forum is now only accessible to users who have that private group assigned.
4. then in
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles
set the editors role (or whatever role you want to access the forum that you set up in step 1) to the group.
and that should set editors to be able to see and access that forum only
All other forums remain as they were.
In reply to: bbPress search and user pages break layout in Divi 5If you are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) and have an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly
If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:
1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear
2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled
3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed
For your browser – see this helpful article How to clear browser cache
In reply to: PHP Fatal errorso how long each day do you see this, and is it a set time?
In reply to: Subscribe/Unsubscribe does not worksome great fault finding carried out there, many thanks for that.
To start at the end, twenty twenty five is a FSE theme and pending the next release of bbpress you need to add
wordpress.org/plugins/enable-bbp-block-theme/
It looks like you have an issue between Highend Theme 1.0.2 and buddypress, which might be difficult to get resolved.
As highend is a paid theme, I cannot check it out, but I would start by asking them, as you can show it working with a wordpress default theme, but not with highend#
In reply to: PHP Fatal errorIf this is easily repeatable, I’d suggest (as a test) deactivating wp-optimize and see if it still occurs
so you are adding a ‘shortcode’ block and putting the [bbp-forum-index] in there – yes?
and what theme are you using?
In reply to: The blank page when opening the forumthanks 🙂
which visual css editor are you using?
ok, so what theme are you using?
and which method in
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ part 3
are you using?
In reply to: Forum Profileok so I now have 2 different things
1. clicking profile goes to the users own profile
2. clicking profile says sorry you are not logged inWithout a consistent problem definition it is hard to help, but as stated above, clicking someone’s name should take the user the that person’s profile.
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: Import single post and its commentsGreat, glad to have helped 🙂
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsPlugin created – go to
and follow the instructions
any issues let me know 🙂
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsyep – that is what I am planning – be back when I’ve done it
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsquick response, I’m a UK farmer, so out a lot of the daytime !
As a ‘quick and dirty’ solution you would need to create the topic
Then in a new item I’ll add in the dashboard enter the post ID and the Topic ID
This will then create a new reply.
It will keep the existing comments.
from memory bbpress uses ‘anonymous’ for any user that no longer exists, but if you create a ‘deleted user’ I might be able to add that to the code
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsok if you can wait a day or 2, then I’ll write a small plugin that will do that, most of the code already exists.
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsOk, I am just a volunteer who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author, but I have written a number of bbpress related plugins.
I also took over a defunct plugin called
I did not write this, I just did enough coding to get it working again.
if you are code savvy, then function build_topic on line 485 of index.php should give you some code that you could maybe use in a plugin or use the code snippets plugin.
otherwise if you only have a few posts from which you want 2, you could enable it convert, disable it and then delete the topics (posts) you don’t want.
