    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

    what plugins other than bbpress are you using?

    @robin-w

    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 !

    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.

    yes the template files would be useful.

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

    no Problem !

    start with

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

    Disallow editing after xx minutes

    see what that is set to

    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?

    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

    @confusedneedhelp – great glad you are fixed !

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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

    @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

    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

    @robin-w

    I’d do two checks

    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

    oh, and I’ve just looked at your previous interactions, and you just abandoned RobKK who was trying to help you, so hopefully you won’t do the same to me:-)

    I appreciate your frustration that you have not had answers posted, but not sure who you expect to answer them?

    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 then 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. To then complain that they won’t tell you how to modify their error free code to do something you want but they didn’t design seems even more insulting.

    If someone gave you a car for free, would you then tell them that they suck because they don’t come and service it for you? or whinge about it because they won’t re-spray it for you because you wanted it in red not green?

    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 am too frustrated that people who ask questions on here so rarely then try and help others, and wish that more people would give up free time to help people like you.

    But I am just me and we are here to try and help where we can, but please lay off the insults and accept that free software does not come with a right to free support, and if people don’t answer your questions, it is maybe because wee like to help people who appreciate free help.

    To work out an answer for you will probably take 1/2 hour of my free time. I’ll take a look tomorrow maybe.
