all the bbpress roles just consist of ‘capabilities’ ie a user can do a, b, and c.
Moderators have more capabilities than participants, so if you change what a moderator can do to make it look like a participant, then you will just go back to the same problem.
Without know what membership privileges and content are affected (my previous question) I can’t help further.
can you contact me via the contact on my website
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
I have yet another user who this time, no matter what permissions she has, can no longer leave new posts, but CAN leave a reply.
ok, presume you can log in as her and replicate – yes ?
did/does Katrinah’s fix do anything for you?
and I would think if a plugin was interfering it would be affecting ALL users, no?
it could be a setting or combination of settings are causing it – it has a cause which once the circumstances are present persists for that user.
ok, can you contact me via my website contact page as I need some info from your site which you may not want to post here
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
ok, so I have tried with posts and cannot immediately recreate
dashboard>posts>add new and then what to make it happen, and at what point does it appear?
sorry to keep asking questions, but is that adding in the backend or front end? or both ?
and what version of wordpress, bboress and private groups are you running?
no, 7.1 is producing 500 errors for some users
Has this error always existed, or is it new? Have you upgraded anything?
As a test are you able to deactivate private groups and see if the error goes away
I get a 500 error when I try to add a new blog post,
Can you give me the exact error please
also gives an error when I try to save or publish a pre-existing draft
can you give me the exact error please
Suspect you are using php 7.1
so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6beta-2
3. in bbpress 2.5.12 change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
Since the next upgrade will fix that anyway, no issue in changing the bbpress file
best I can offer Iām afraid
great – the investment of time will pay back!
yes there is, but basically it needs you to know what your page template is called
see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
item 8 for some more details
contributor is a wordpress role, not a bbpress one.
so if you are using the default registration
then
dashboard>settings>general and what is ‘new default user’ set to ?
dashboard>settings>forums and what is ‘auto role’ set to ?
hmmm… as I say beyond my area of knowledge but was worth a punt.
If you do fix, please do post the solution here as it will help others in future.
ok, I’ll try one more time, and then give up.
I know that a title usually appears there.
You stated that it did appear there for you, and now is not.
So you have changed something.
If it is not the plugin, then I cannot help further.
not my field of expertise, but suggest you have the wp code,
and try
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['quicktags'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
this just does the ‘turn on’ earlier
may work, may not !!
great – thanks for posting
and if you want to suggest code changes, then this is the place
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
I am just a humble user, so can’t comment on changing core code, but is it is styling capability you want you could filter the actual title eg
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_title', 'rew_title');
function rew_title () {
$title = '<span class="rew">.$title.'</span>' ;
return $title ;
}
users are assigned their role when they first log in, so you would not see a role on user creation
great – glad you are fixed
ok, closest without code would be :
1. go into
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs
Leave Disable all forums breadcrumbs UNTICKED
but tick disable on 1, 2, & 3
then put this into
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom css
.bbp-breadcrumb-forum {
border-radius: 28px;
padding: 7px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
background: #3498db linear-gradient(to bottom, #3498db, #2980b9) repeat scroll 0 0
}
.bbp-breadcrumb-forum::before {
content: "Back to ";
}
you may need to play with the background color to get it to suit your website – I’ve given you a blue gradient
think you’re being a tad optimistic š
