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 used to take part in the European Tall Ships races in the 1980’s – so recognise the logo! many happy memories.
start by reading
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Section 8 is the bit to read
great – glad you’re fixed
ps bbpress just uses WordPress login, so they are one and the same, so login for WordPress (and your membership plugin) is login for bbpress.
and for your test user, see what bbpress role has been set in dashboard>users and edit the user, should be participant
if the user isn’t logged in, then the forum won’t know who they are (or indeed the membership plugin!)
so if user is logged in, you say ‘The login on this form fails when I use my admin login.’ – can you describe what you mean, and maybe this is ‘membership’ plugin related ? as a test, deactivate the membership plugin and see if that fixes
bbpress just uses WordPress – so any WordPress registration will be fine – maybe theme my login
it was something to do with multisite – if you’d replied earlier I would have remembered what I googled to get an answer – I’ll come back if I remember.
if you want anyone to be able to post, then you need to allow anonymous posting
dashboard>settings>forums and look for anonymous, but unless you really want general public posting I’d suggest not. If you do, look also at ‘bbpress notify no spam’ as another plugin.
I can’t say why the 2nd is happening – I’d suggest you set up a test user and see if they get the same issue.
then come back
The recommendation is that the file goes in a directory called ‘bbpress’ in the root of your child theme.
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/xxx.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
child theme root works as well, but in ‘bbpress’ just makes it more obvious which plugin’s template you have amended
change
$forum = bbp_forum_id() ;
to
$forum = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
untested but try
$forum = bbp_forum_id() ;
$parent = wp_get_post_parent_id($forum) ;
if (!empty($parent)) {
echo esc_html( get_the_title($parent) ) ;
}
so if only instructors to be able to do this, then you need to add ‘thottle’ to their WordPress permission for their role.
what role do instructors have ?
if custom, what creates this role?
they should be able to give you settings
you’ll need to refer to your hosting provider
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
and enable fix last active time
ok, it’s just a choice you have, but that is where the url is created
dashboard>settings>permalink
most use postname
great – glad you are fixed
sorry it does what it does 🙂
bbp profile information
should do what you want 🙂
where is the author gender or signature stored, or do you wish users to be able to add that as well?
