    see above – big difference between personal data, data used to identify and content – 3 different things.

    what do you mean by ‘NOT showing the topic contents’ – do you mean the topic displays, but the content area is blank, or that the whole topic doesn’t display?

    just tried it using a simulator

    http://mobiletest.me/

    and yes it doesn’t appear.

    suggest you add it to the main menu

    lots of plugins that will do this eg

    Login Logout Register Menu

    not suggesting that this is a substitute for password reset – you need that capability as well.

    can be lots of things

    go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack> and tab ‘not working?’ and follow the guide in there

    the no follow is added at output, not on saving.

    so we need to see if the topic/reply is written by an admin or editor and then remove the filter that does the no-follow

    This coded is untested, but should work

    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content' , 'follow_topic_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_topic_if_admin ($content, $topic_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_topic_if_admin', $content, $topic_id );
    }
    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content' , 'follow_reply_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_reply_if_admin ($content, $reply_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_reply_if_admin', $content, $reply_id );
    }

    Add this to your functions file.

    Let me know if it works

    however when I went to bbpress styler and that settings, they only have a login and register and no password reset.. and NO profile that I can see

    ‘register’ changes to profile if you are logged in – as you can have a profile if you are not logged in, and you wouldn’t want to register if you are logged in !!

    and from profile you get password reset

    1.404 issue

    The link looks good, suggest you try

    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.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    2.

    I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?

    yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

    3.

    An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies

    beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look

    bbp style pack

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    Plugins

    Themes

    bbp toolkit has some subscription stuff, or ask either of the plugin supprt above if their plugins can be modified to do this.

    simplest way would be to

    create a page with a permalink of ‘forums’ (assuming that is what your forums are called in dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug>forum root)

    but with a title of whatever you want the forum page to be called

    and just put this shortcode in it

    [bbp-forum-index]

    That should work


    Robin W

    @robin-w

    install

    bbp style pack

    Once activated, go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates and select Alternate Forum template 1

    This will then display as you wish

    From @matevoun

    Then, now :

    1/ I think this is because i’ve installed bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, but i need this for uploading new media… 🙁

    2/ Yes, tell me what can i do… 🙂

    3/ Done ! Thank you ! I’ve installed your plugin. 😉

    4/ I think this is a too little for texte + avatar.

    How can i do now ?

    Hope to read you soon…

    1. As a test deactivate that plugin and see if it works without. If so re-enable and contact that plugins author

    2. for the forum list

    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/loop-single-forum.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/loop-single-forum.php
    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
    and you can amend this

    so change line 68
    <span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

    amend 14 to whatever size you want

    3. glad you like it

    4. without knowing exactly what you want, I cannot suggest css changes – I suspect we will not fix this one

    @robin-w

    ok, so we need to look at exactly what this law does.
    The law is here :

    http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679

    and from my reading you can pretty much forget the scare stuff in google !

    Ignore the recitals (they are not part of the law) and skip to the actual articles
    So first scope :
    Article 3 says :

    This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.

    So what is processing?
    Article 4 (2) says

    processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

    and what is personal data ?
    This is defined by article 4(1) which states

    ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’);

    And goes on to define what identifiable means (as opposed to say anonymised data)

    an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

    So personal data is information relating to a ‘data subject’ and is processed. So NOT comment written by that data subject, or other people’s views on either the data subject himself or other people’s views on the data subject’s views. If it is wrong, defaming or libellous then this is already covered by existing law.

    There is no requirement to delete topics or replies as far as I can see.

    A good analogy would be if I had a newspaper subscription. If I cancel the subscription to their on-line service, then I would expect them to delete my name, address, bank account details or anything else they hold in connection with that subscription. The legislation as far as I can see does not require them to delete their on-line coverage of my wedding, nor the comment I put in the comment box under that news story about Madonna adopting another child. Neither of those is personal data. Nor is someone else’s @mentions of my name. Otherwise we could all just write to every paper, and no-one could publish anything about us ever again !!!

    If this law really gave you the right to have posts removed, then this would be huge and making headlines. For instance the newspapers would be all over the fact that after April Facebook, Instagram twitter etc. would have to delete all posts made by me, or about me or where I could be identified. This would be a MEGA story – and we would all know about it by now.

    It IS appropriate for website owners to consider – as if asked to delate a user, you would need to totally remove their existence not just from the current wordpress database (which deleting a user does) but also from any membership plugins, woocommerce plugins etc, etc.

    But I see no way that bbpress needs to worry about this law.

    But I’m not a lawyer.

    I haven’t read this thread in detail, so am not endorsing the suggested change, but the file is in

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/convertor.php

    sorry, but we can’t open every plugin to see why it doesn’t work with bbpress 🙁
