    It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

    oh how I agree that something that has taken a lot of people a lot of time to write for free, is maintained for free, and supported for free, and has cost you nothing doesn’t do what you want. Absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed. Of course you could always crack the code open and help improve it, or perhaps it is easier to just easier to expect someone else to do that for you and just complain when it doesn’t.

    put it in your theme’s functions file

    wp-content/themes/[your theme name]/functions.php

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    you don’t; move, you duplicate and then change

    so the original file sits in

    /yorkregiontutoring/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

    and you copy this to

    wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

    and then make changes

    bbpress will look at this new file as being the active one

    you can always us this in your function file

    //This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
    function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
    	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
    	$translated_text = 'new text';
    	}
    	return $translated_text;
    }
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

    so you would have

    //This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
    function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
    	if ( $translated_text == 'by' ) {
    	$translated_text = 'par';
    	}
    	return $translated_text;
    }
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

    It depends what you mean by ‘People can create these courses and forums using our site’ – do you mean anyone, or just a select few who run this stuff?

    Hidden forums will only be seen by users with moderator privilege, so that’s not what you’ll want for ordinary users.

    closest you’ll get is my private groups plugin

    Private groups

    Many people use it to have course linked forums but it won’t do what you are asking if you want users to be able to administer the creation of forums. If it’s just a select few admikns who do this, then it might be good for you.

    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

    The last problem I’m getting is it always show bbPress is not compatible with Pro blog in config file

    can you explain what you mean by this – is this an error message you are getting and when and how?

    @robin-w

    not sure I understand, but this plugin might be what you are after if you want only some fourms to show for different groups

    not having been through all the changes in 2.6.x wouldn’t like to say on backward compatibility with 2.5.x, I do know the way it hadles subscriptions is different.

    However 2.6 is quite stable, and now going through final release procedure, so I would be tempted to migrate and then stay with that – I suspect any final tweaks are just that.

    Many have been using 2.6 for months now, and I’ve seen no adverse reports

    if you reset the forums, then this should remove all the data, so at a loss to explain why you still have some !

    you don’t seem to grasp the concept of open software – this is software written for free and supported for free by people who get nothing from this.

    You must accept that that not every question will get an answer.
