ok, so you need to define it down to server or client

If you log in as test – it works – yes?
If so log in as him and see if that works.

If it does then it is his PC

If it doesn’t then it is server.

bbpress will use your wordpress theme. If you want to style and add features use

bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

ok quick questions –

1. are you getting any sidebar at the moment,

2. and is the presence/absence consistent on all forum pages?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

ok, the issue is I suspect with the moderation tools plugin.

I haven’t opened that one up to see what it does, and I see you have posted the issue on their support forum to see if they can help.

suspect it would be beyond free help to look at issues between the two. If you like contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

what plugins other than bbpress are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

I’d suspect issues with the quotation – different systems seem to alter these – try making them consistent – this might work

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
 bbp_list_forums(array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

If it doesn’t then come back and I’ll take a deeper look, midnight here and on way to bed !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

or is this not a support forum for BBpress users

yes this is, but you misunderstand how open source software works

People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to.

If someone gave you a car for free, would you complain because they don’t come and service it for you?

I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others.

I have seen your questions, and there are many reasons why it might not work.

The most obvious are in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ and in particular the troubleshooting section on plugins and themes will probably get you to a root cause.

Once you have worked through those, do come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

yes the template files would be useful.

contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

suggest you pose the question to their support team, as a paid theme I of course can’t see it.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

no Problem !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

start with

dashboard>settings>forums>forum user settings has a parameter

Disallow editing after xx minutes

see what that is set to

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

sidebars are a nightmare since theme developers went away from the wordpress tradition of having standard files for each page type.

Many now just have a page.php file, which frequently calls functions and stops any easy solution to the problem of getting a bbpress sidebar.

So let’s start with what theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

Issue resolved.

Usernames had ‘ Disable the visual editor when writing’ switched off in profile

I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>topic/reply form item 9

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

ok, you’ll need to amend wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.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/form-user-register.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/form-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

@confusedneedhelp – great glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

ok, it’s maybe a clash of terms being used on your site – ie something else is using search

As a test change the slug to say ‘find’ and see if it works then.#

We can then narrow down the issue

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

@carzpk -lots of questions – need a link to examples on your site

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

@anhduy304 – it is site specific, give us a link to your site

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

@dreuezekiel – ok try adding this to your functions file

add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'order_by_freshness', 10, 2);

function order_by_freshness ($args='') {
	$args = array(
	'meta_key'   => '_bbp_last_active_time',
	'orderby'    => 'meta_value',
	'order'      => 'DESC',
	);
	return $args ;
}

if you don’t know how to do that, come back and I’ll wrap it in a baby plugin for you

I presume you are linking to a page that has the [bbp-login] widget in it ?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years ago]

ok, I can only imagine that the code is not in the right place, or that a character is affecting (one character out of place and nothing works !)

ok, remove the code above completely

I’ve put the code into a small plugin

go to

add visual aditor

and download it to your PC, noting where it is downloaded to

go to

dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the file you downloaded and activate

If that doesn’t work, then I’m stumped, but please come back and let us know
