sorry was trying to answer quickly over the weekend – should have read dashboard>settings>forums !
The current situation appears to force them to become registered users of WordPress rather than a registered user of my bbPress Forum.
so yes, by ticking the participant role, then when they register, they will be given the participant role when they first log in, and have access to the forums
can’t see the error on the second one.
you can do this by amending a template in bbpress (which I’ll helo you with if you wish, but requires FTP knowledge)
or you could use
Private groups
you would set up 2 groups
say group 1 teachers
group 2 students
in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group name settings
then in
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>topic permissions
you’ll actually see an example of how to do this
ok, on the first error – I am only getting this as a keymaster.
Can you check if this is the case for you ?
ok, this forums uses bbpress, so can you try and post what would not work on your site here – the above had double paragraphs.
bbpress just uses WordPress accounts.
so if you want your existing users to use bbpress, then set the default role in dashboard>forums and the next time they log in, they will get this access.
I can see that – I’ve logged a trac ticket for this 7
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3379
thanks – i’ll take a look
so with just bbpress and buddypress you get this error ?
has this ever worked or is it a new issue ?
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
I can’t see one that works with bbpress currently – I’ll try and take a look over the weekend if I get a chance
do you mean the number of times a topic has been viewed?
the thread you linked to was for an old version.
if topics are going into moderation, then you need to look at
dashboard>settings>discussion and look at the choices in there, eg Comment author must have a previously approved comment and no. links etc
sorry this is a bbpress forum – this should get you started with bbpress
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
I know nothing of buddypress, just directing you to their site
there must be a second check I missed – you could just change that entry to
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
that would do it
are they set up as keymasters in their profiles?
bbpress and buddypress were written by the same people, so work well together.
Second, how do I set up the register and activate pages for BuddyPress to use?
see
BuddyPress
This allows any length title
add_filter( 'bbp_is_title_too_long', 'rew_dont_bother', 10 , 4 ) ;
function rew_dont_bother ($result, $title, $max, $len ){
return false ;
}
and this reduces content
//code to limit number of characters in topic contents to 500 characters
add_filter( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );
add_filter( 'bbp_edit_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );
function rew_limit_topic_content( $topic_content )
{
/* Check for number of characters in topic contents */
if (strlen($topic_content) > 500) {
$revised_content = substr($topic_content, 0, 500);
}
else {
$revised_content = $topic_content ;
}
return $revised_content ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
Just had a chance to dig further into this – bbpress will only let a keymaster set another keymaster, so if you’re not a keymaster yourself then by default you can’t do this.
However this code should allow any admin to set a keymaster
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_keymaster', 'rew_allow_keymaster', 10 , 3 );
function rew_allow_keymaster ($retval, $_user_id, $user_id) {
if (current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) $retval = true ;
return $retval ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
BUT THEN TAKE IT OUT AFTER you have set up another – as it makes all admins in effect keymasters.
can you just tell me if this is a fresh install of 2.6.5, or whether you have upgraded from 2.6.4 recently?
