second question is

you say ‘And every time it is updated (once a day) the roles I have assigned manually are lost …’ – what roles are you assigning, and how are you doing this eg ‘I go onto the dashboard and do this and then do that and then give them the xx role in then yy area’

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

ok, it may be hard to help for a site we cannot see, but let’s see where we get to.

So first question is

you say ‘The problem is that if I assign users the Participant role, they cannot create topics or reply to created topics.’ – so can you desbribe this eactly eg ‘they get a message saying you are not permitted to…’ or ‘they create a topic but when they press submit nothing happens ‘ etc.

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

you’d do better to put that amended template into your child theme – that way bbpress updates won’t overwrite it

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

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

I did a code search and found this function in includes/common/functions line 1507 which seems a highly likely candidate.

function bbp_logout_url( $url = '', $redirect_to = '' ) {

	// If there is no redirect in the URL, let's add one...
	if ( ! strstr( $url, 'redirect_to' ) ) {

		// Get the forum root, to maybe use as a default
		$forum_root = bbp_get_root_url();

		// No redirect passed, so check referer and fallback to request uri
		if ( empty( $redirect_to ) ) {

			// Check for a valid referer
			$redirect_to = wp_get_referer();

			// Fallback to request uri if invalid referer
			if ( false === $redirect_to ) {
				$redirect_to = bbp_get_url_scheme() . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
			}
		}

		// Filter the $redirect_to destination
		$filtered  = apply_filters( 'bbp_logout_url_redirect_to', $redirect_to );

		// Validate $redirect_to, default to root
		$validated = wp_validate_redirect( $filtered, $forum_root );

		// Assemble $redirect_to and add it (encoded) to full $url
		$appended  = add_query_arg( array( 'loggedout'   => 'true'   ), $validated );
		$encoded   = urlencode( $appended );
		$url       = add_query_arg( array( 'redirect_to' => $encoded ), $url       );
	}

	// Filter & return
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_logout_url', $url, $redirect_to );
}

so maybe filtering on ‘bbp_logout_url’ would work.

Let me know if you need further help

I strongly suspect it is theme related or maybe other plugin.

In either case, it is not directly bbpress, so yes, I’d hide it with css

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

can you list your plugins please- the original error
Line 1: <div class="error"> <p>This Plugin needs BBpress to work, pls. install it first and activate.</p></div>

is not from bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

presuming in

dashboard>settings>forums you have Roles set to participant, then users will get the participant role upon their next login or if ‘remember me’ set tehir next remembered visit to the website (the website, not just forums) after you installed bbpress.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

you’re welcome !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

@webcreations907 thanks for that – really helpful 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

I found this in another thread

Found the solution: simply selecting ‘Dutch’ in the Admin > General Settings section instead of ‘Dutch (Formal)’ in the field ‘Website Language’ did the trick. After saving and refreshing the website, the forum shows the Dutch translation.

don’t know if that helps

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

as far as I know this still works

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

hmm..not come across this before, from googling seems to be a wrodpress.com thing – doesn’t mean that I’m right – there’s tons on the internet that I don’t know, but just tried <!-- nextpage-> on posts in a couple of test sites, and it does nothing.

Can only suggest you find out what is adding it, but you may need to accept that it doesn’t work in bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

so are you running this plugin?

Automatically Paginate Posts

or another that does this, or does your theme add this ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

Great – thanks for posting that – I now understand 🙂

is this a WordPress.com hosted site?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

I got a couple of emails, but no post here, did you mean to delete?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

sorry ‘using’ 🙂 do you have thread replies set in

dashboard>settings>forums>threaded replies

was really just asking as I cannot remember if it is a problem of threaded replies or a problem generally

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

ok, I don’t fully understand your question.

Can you rephrase it as a series of steps I can repeat.

so ‘create a topic, do this, do that and then you see this happens’

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

I think this is a long standing bug in bbpress. are you suing threaded replies (just asking, not suggesting!)

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

for moderation This one still works as far as I know and would let you moderate guest posts

bbPress – Moderation Tools

as for registration, bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so a plugin that does that would be fine. You don’t state what plugins you have tried, and why they didn’t work – if you find one that is close, come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

great – glad you ae fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

ok, this could take some debugging !

firstly in dashboard>replies how many replies do you have?

can you copy the

All (1,090) | Mine (129) | Published (1,089) | Pending (1) | Bin (1) | Spam (2)

answer into this thread

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

the forums appear in the dashboard

also look at

dashboard>tools>forums to see if that element is there

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

hmm..something is amiss, let me think about what you might try next !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 9 months ago]

great – glad it is all working !!
