No probs – if you can find an article on the net that talks about SEO and URL hierarchy I’d be interested to see it. From my albeit brief googling, I found nothing that indicated that URL’s structure mattered, just the words.
you might do better to just install
bbp style pack
this should let you match or contrast elements as you wish
Is there a way to remove the “Forum”? Even that feels unnecessary to me. Again I’m no expert in SEO.
given that you don’t know if having these makes SEO worse, neutral or even better, you seem a bit obsessed by it 🙂
Like you, I am no SEO expert, but I have seen nothing in any discussions of forums for SEO that even mentions the URL’s, and most forums I have seen use this structure.
The same goes for the subforums which are now /Forum/root/subforum_name, and I would like to get rid of the root here as well (it doesn’t show up in the forum index). What is the purpose of the Forum Root slug, anyway??
dashboard>settings>forums>forum prefix and exclude it!
that’s how it works by default
what are you seeing?
if they want to look at code that already does this, then they can download and crack open the code in
bbp profile information
ok, that just goes to a 404 page.
Try dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
in this link
Formatting of User Profile and Search Results pages
I suggested this as a solution
dashboard>Divi >Theme options>Builder >Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear.
then
dashboard>divi>Theme Options>Performance> Dynamic CSS option and disable
THEN critically you need to clear and server side caching, AND clear your browser cache.
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed.
Browser – see this helpful article
How To Clear Cache for All Major Browsers
then it all worked fine
link to a live example please
posts, postmeta and options
bbpress just uses the custom post type features of bbpress, so the entries are mixed in with all the page, post and any other custom post types you have.
options holds the settings
you can hook to various actions in bbpress eg
add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'xxx', 50,2 ) ;
//does the display/edit if viewing another's profile
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'xxx', 50,2 ) ;
//does the save if viewing own profile
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'xxx' );
//does the save if viewing another's profile
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'xxx' );
but would need user registration to tell you what functions to put in the xxx
great – glad you are fixed 🙂
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
As well as bbpress install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
those are put there by your theme https://buddyxtheme.com/
if you change them to hidden then you and mods can see
Otherwise
Private groups
great – thanks – please post back if you get further news
sorry, I’m just a free volunteer, I generally don’t have the time to look at individual problems, and this seems to be specific to your site.
I am suspicious that it might be caching software – can you confirm that neither your site or hoster use this, or if they do as a test disable.
I would also try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
Then I would do the following
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>unread posts
