ok, so

your site was working – and with no changes that you are aware of, it is now not working ?
it happens every time
with a default theme AND just bbpress the error happens – yes?

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this just resets the permalinks

Users keep getting an HTTP 500 error when trying to post

every time, mostly, sometimes?
all users, some users, participant, keymaster?
topics, replies, both ?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

my free plugin

bbp user ranking

may be what you are after

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

you need to alter ‘post’ to topic and reply eg (untested)

function adding_custom_meta_boxes( $post_type, $post ) {
    add_meta_box( 
        'my-meta-box',
        __( 'My Meta Box' ),
        'render_my_meta_box',
        'topic',
        'normal',
        'default'
    );
add_meta_box( 
        'my-meta-box2',
        __( 'My Meta Box 2' ),
        'render_my_meta_box',
        'reply',
        'normal',
        'default'
    );

}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'adding_custom_meta_boxes', 10, 2 );

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but 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

ok, you’d do it with a metabox in the backend topic and reply custom post types

this should get you started

Creating Custom Post Meta Boxes in WordPress

cannot see the Trash Admin Link referenced for deleting topics from the frontend.

when you are in a topic or reply, if the admin hovers the mouse in the content part a series of admin options (admin links) appear typically edit|move|split|trash|spam| the ‘trash’ is the ‘trash admin link’ referred to

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

I can’t immediately think of any existing code.

Option 1 is the quick answer, but more manual.

It could be coded, a simple way would be to stop replies on the front end if a reply didn’t exist unless an admin.

you would need to amend form-reply.php – do you

1. have a child theme and
2. know how to ftp files to and from your PC?

If so contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

lots of ways to do this, you might want to have a think about the best for you

I have a plugin called

Private groups

which lets you set up groups and may be the best solution

alternately

if you are able to ftp and edit files the message is held in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php

so

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so go into it and amend the message to what you desire.

You could instead put this in your functions file or put it in a code plugin such as

PHP code snippets (Insert PHP)

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'Oh bother! No forums were found here!' ) {
	$translated_text = 'whatever you want it to say in here!' ;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

ow !

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

yes crack that code open it is in includes/widgets, you should find a good place to filter – probably change 159-161 – set the ‘post_parent__in’ to the forum of the current buddypress group, and the settings in the widget will be ignored.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

are these tags the same for every reply?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

sorry, I know nothing of imports, so can’t help.

Unfortunately open foundation software relies on either the authors or users (such as myself) to support for free. I try and help as much as I can.

What I would ask though, is that if you fix it then

1. post the solutions(s) here to help others
2. Dip in once a month/quarterly/once on a blue moon to see if you can help someone else – after all it is someone else’s help you are now seeking.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

If I understand it, my ‘recent activity widget’ does that

you can find it in

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find a new widget called

(style pack) latest activity

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

ok, do let us know how you get on

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

not tested as going out soon, but this should work

add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );

function myprefix_assign_tag_to_post($topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $topic_author) {
if( $forum_id == '168'  && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
	wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'introductions', 'topic-tag', true );
}

elseif($forum_id == '1343' && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
		wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'discovery', 'topic-tag', true );

}
}

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

what is this ‘link’ ? please clarify – what link are you talking about?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

@domeboys I have remove the error code as it looked like it contained the card details of one of your customers.

I can only repeat that you had a working site a week or so ago, and something changed to create the issues you have now. bbpress has not changed, but something has caused an error.

This could be down to many issues, including updates you have done, or database corruption.

I appreciate that you are feeling very frustrated.

In your position, I would be asking HostGator to revert my site to before the issue and see if that fixes. I would also suggest you turn on debug to see if that reveals a site error.

bbpress runs on over 300,000 websites worldwide, but there are infinite combinations of themes, plugins and data that make it impossible to say that bbpress will work in all circumstances, but the fact that your was, should mean that it could be again.

I wish you luck in resolving.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

see

Subscribing to forum does not subscribe to all topics in forum

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

no problem

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

@haddly I can’t see any easy way to reassign content, given that you have already assigned it to yourself

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 8 months ago]

There is no standard

I just set up a user called ‘deleted user’ with a fictitious email address, and assign content to that
