    ok, I’d talk to your hosting service – this is not normal wordpress behaviour

    In reply to: register problem

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    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

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

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    great – glad you are fixed !

    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

    Moderator

    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

    In reply to: GDPR EU legislation

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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

    @robin-w

    Moderator

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

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    suggest that is one for that plugins support forum

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    in no particular order

    If you’re not using buddypress, then better to deactivate.

    in terms of having users with different access, then my private groups plugin will let you do that

    Private groups

    There are several plugins that have new user approval such as

    New User Approve

    what have you got set in

    dashboard>settings>bbp topic count>settings

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    can you say what this email was for? is it a new topic which the user is subscribed to, or what caused it to be sent?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    which plugin did you install?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, not sure if I can help further, something funny with your site.

    The final thing I’d suggest is that you change to a default theme

    If a public forum, with a default theme and just bbpress running doesn’t show topics, then there is something wrong with your site or database.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    so just this page or do all new topics/new replies not show this ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    have you also posted this in the buddypress support forum – looks like a question for them

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Right now everyone that has a user account on the website is getting email notifications from all forum posts

    bbpress does not notify unless users have subscribed to forums

    what other plugins do you have that might be doing that ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    great – thanks for the update

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    But i have a question it is correct solution? No performace issue ?

    yes it has a performance issue, every line of code has a performance issue.

    No idea by what you mean ‘is it the correct solution’ This is a help service for bbpress not a free bespoke website service. I have already gone beyond the usual to help you.

    It is up to you to decide the balance of SEO against performance, not me.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    this does that

    add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'rew_remove_code_tags', 10, 2 );
    
    function rew_remove_code_tags ($content, $reply_id) {
    	if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
    		$content = preg_replace('~<code(.*?)</code>~Usi', "", $content);
    	}
    	
    return apply_filters( 'rew_remove_code_tags', $content, $reply_id );
    }
    In reply to: Private vs Public

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Public – forum AND topics are visible to public

    Private – Forum AND topics are visible to logged in users only

    If you want more granularity than that use

    Private groups

    which would let you have the forum visible but not the topics

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    so does the topic get saved, and this is just a redirect issue, or is it not saving ?
