you put it into the content section of a page or post, so in your case on the homepage
for main page then use the forum shortcode in the main page
[bbp-topic-index]
or use on of the other shortcodes
Shortcodes
you can add roles and/or change their names – see
Custom Capabilities
The following in an example that both adds new roles and changes the names of existing.
/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$moderator] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as moderator);
$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$keymaster] = array(
'name' => 'Advisor',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$apprentice = bbp_get_participant_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$apprentice] = array(
'name' => 'Apprentice',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
you can limit access to forums byh changing their visibility
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums
or if you want more control by using :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
sorry missed the word in caps from your enquiry !
Use this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>freshness display and select what you want
This is a theme issue – there may well be a setting in the theme or the page or contact the theme authors
Try the forum repairs
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time
You should see no perceivable impact from this plugin, but you can always check by using a tool such as https://tools.pingdom.com/
on format – if you want further options then use my style pack plugin instead which gives you these options – see the freshness Display tab
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
If you are not a coder then use the last post plugin above which does it for you
logged in/logged out is I think a buddypress thing.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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
Most likely a theme issue
as a test switch to a theme such as twentytwelve to prove
presuming this is not spam (website removed from the above) , then install via wordpress, and if you get an error, please post exactly what the error is !
you should be able to with my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum display>item 9
if you want to attempt it yourself, then download my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
and crack open includes/functions.php
you’ll find a filter around line 14 to check permissions on topics and replies and the function it calls further down.
You probably want to create a version of that for yourself.
Have fun !
no problem – glad you’re fixed !
Sorry, no simple solution to this – would require custom coding!
go into
Dashboard>forums>and edit each forum
on the right hand side you’ll see Forum Attributes which includes ‘Order’ lower numbers are earlier, so just number them 1,2,3,4 to order
can you list which plugins you are using?
suggest you install my style pack
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which will let you set font sizes along with lots more
something is broken !
can you tell me how your page is set up?
see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
and which of item 3?
bbpress has no special entries, so yes this should work fine – as long as it copies the database – everything should be fine
