good glad you are fixed !
no problem – glad you are fixed !!
Suspect you are using php 7.1
so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3
3. in bbpress 2.5.13 in includes/forums/functions.php
change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
and change line 1796 from
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ );
to
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ );
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
$post_stati = array($post_stati);
}
that’s sort of how it works now.
just set
dashboard>settsings>forums to give the participant role to new users
and set your forums as public.
This is a theme rather than bbpress question.
you need to work out how to get your theme to display a menu and then create link items in that menu
great – glad you are fixed !!
easiest way I can think of is to set the permalink of a page to the same as the forums slug, and then just have text in this to explain how to access the forums.
you need to allow it
dashboard>settings>general>anyone can register
no problem, glad you are fixed !!
so you want you to be able to create topics and replies, but your users to just read?
so who do you want to see the forum page – just you?, just registered users or who?
ahh!!
7.1 has some issues with bbpress (or visa versa)
so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3
3. in bbpress 2.5.13 in includes/forums/functions.php
change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
and change line 1796 from
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );
to
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ );
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
$post_stati = array($post_stati);
}
ok, can I have a link to the working site?
ok, you have two choices
either use the default wordpress lost password and register
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register
obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name
or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url
eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg
Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]
Then in the widget you would put
http://mysite.com/password/
you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.
can you check what versions of php each is using.
If you can’t immediately tell from your host details, this plugin will add it to the dashboard
Display PHP Version
ok, you’ll need to do some elimination
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
@cocktail5555
so you dev site is working finem, but the live site isn’t – correct?
Is the dev site a local installation?
@daltmc
Try
dashboard>settings>permalinks
and just click save
this resets the permalinks, and sometimes gets sites going
Also, when clicking on a forum from the forum index on the frontend, I get a blank page:
http://hatchnutrition.com/forum/
that works fine – do you still have a problem?
I am sure you know, there are plugins that do that for the WordPress comments, so that even commenters who do not have a WordPress account on that site can check a box to receive email alerts of new comments.
wasn’t aware of that.
I don’t know of any plugin that does this for bbpress.
presume you are fixed as it looks left aligned – if not please give us a link to a specific example and state which element
if a user is logged out, then wordpress does not know who they are, so I am struggling to understand how it would know which user to subscribe ??
