probably a combination of

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

and

dashboard>settings>forums>forum slugs to change the names

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, now in – nice site by the way !

Not sure why changing in bbpress had no effect – I can’t see your theme is doing anything.

my first suggestion would be to install

bbp style pack

and once installed go into

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forums index styling

and set some of those to a larger font – just start with 1 or 2 and see if they work.

If so you can work though the rest to get what you want.

If not come back, BUT leave a couple in place and tell me a couple you have changed.

I can then look at what is being downloaded to my browser and maybe help further

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I suspect this is more a buddypress questions as it is buddypress that handles groups, but this would be at forum level, so no is almost certainly the answer 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

tried to logon, but came up with user not found

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I suppose it could be coded, but well beyond free help.

I’d suggest you create a sub forum and put the single topic in there.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

bbPress requires at least one Keymaster, and only keymasters can set other keymasters. However bbPress does allow you to change the last keymaster to another role without warning – leaving no keymasters, and no ability to set a keymaster.

I’ve added some code in the bug fixes tab of my style pack plugin that detects if this has happened, and allows creation of a new keymaster.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you’ll see a tick box at the end.

Once you have ticked and saved, you can deactivate and delete this plugin, but I hope you’ll find a bunch of useful things in there and keep it going 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

no, I just need to find the time to take a look 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

hmm.. shouldn’t alter anything unless asked.

what part is changing?

and no, creating a separate plugin takes a couple of hours, and then it needs maintaining, which is why I have put all the bits into a single plugin.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

no the opposite they are never subscribed.

you can use

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

to get everyone to receive, but they can’t opt out !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit as needed

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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I suspect that your theme is using out of date templates, and the new topic/reply forms have a login in them, then old ones didn’t.

If the list is not massive, can you list the files in that folder?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I’d suggest you start with

bbp style pack

this will let you change fonts and loads more

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 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.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

this is your theme’s breadcrumb, so will depend on when/where ir is shown.

Link to an example on your site please

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

great 🙂

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change this from line 27

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

to

<input type="hidden" id="bbp_anonymous_email" value="anon@anon.com" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />

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/form-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, and the email address will then not be asked for.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

have fun

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

change

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

to

<input type="hidden" id="bbp_anonymous_email" value="anon@anon.com" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />

that just makes all entries anon@anon.com, so it passes the email format check

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

Great – I’m glad you got to a fix!!

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, I think I understand, but guessing form names is also possible.

Maybe this is what you need

Private groups

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

The box does exactly what it says it does, it allows ‘GUESTS’ to publish, it says nothing about allowing anonymous posting.

A guest to my house is someone I know or want to be able to ID and maybe contact after their visit if I need to – say because they left something or I want to ban becuase they were not nice. Just opening the doors and allowing anyone to wander round my house is not something I want.

That is the logic behind guests.

Now you want anonymous posting, which is fine if you want it, but it’s not how the software out of the box works. Being frustrated by this is not really something you should be, it doesn’t work how you want, but it has to work some way, and it works how most people want.

So chill ! 🙂

Now if you want anonymous posting, and know how to move a file between your pc and your site, then come back and I’ll help you create that.
