ok, can as a test you try disabling Askimet and seeing if that fixes – I am trying to work out where the problem is occurring.
no problem – glad you are fixed !
This is the default display.
If you are into coding, you can check out
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
or if coding is not your thing use my plugin Style Pack which will let you set up lots of stuff, including fixing the above
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
can you check if it is being logged as spam
Akismet
If the service catches a topic that is spam, you will see it in the WordPress backend in the topics section under spam, and the same process for replies.
ok, I can’t see why it isn’t working, although I still have the top menu as well as the side one in my test site.
How did you turn off the top menu in your setup? I can’t instantly see how to do that
ok, so sorry I know of nothing that will do that.
ok, I can’t see why that is happening from the tools side.
Can you let me know how that menu item is set up – eg is it a page, a url link etc
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-anonymous.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-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so you will need to take out lines 31-34 which say
<p>
<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php _e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
</p>
You should do this in a child theme, but if you do it in your main theme keepo a record as you will need to do this again on any theme update.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I know what a 403 error is. I have been around quite a while and been around the block quite a few times.
Sorry, but I have no idea what your level of knowledge is – how could I?
My question is why am I getting this error only since I installed BBpress and BuddyPress?
I don’t know – so sorry again !
Is this a new site, new problem, new to bbpress, when did it start happening, what else have you been doing, what versions of bbpress and wordpress are you running, what theme are you using
Was just pissed that I was getting it.
fully understandable !!
So when do you get this error – I just tried your site and it looked ok
I presume you mean
1. on the front end, and
2. that the ‘create topic’ or ‘add reply’ forms appear below the existing entries?
If so come back and I’ll try and help
Just tested, and it works fine on twentyfourteen on my test site.
Any chance of a link to your site?
left this to see if a database expert would come along, but in their absence, why not try the repair tools
dashboard>tools>forums>repair and run them all BUT only one at a time
The second fatal error is related to your plugin social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g
suggest you deactivate this as a test and see if all the errors go away
then come back
sorry I only use bbpress.
Try it with just bbpress and without buddypress.
Otherwise I suspect it is theme related
bbpress doesn’t as far as I know rely on any particular admin account.
But have you set the new admin user as ‘keymaster’ in users?
ok that code looks like shortcodes used with your theme.
suggest you switch back to your theme.
can you post a link to your site?
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and buddypress 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
ok, so are you after
1. anonymous posting behind a password protected page – ie once you have got access via a single password anyone can post as anyone
or
2. each forum user has a username/password, but the forums are hidden unless you are logged in
The first – I know of nothing that will do that – and it is easily bypassed if people know the forums
The second is quite easily done – just make the forums private
@robkk – nice one. So whilst copying all the templates to the theme fixed it for the OP, is the fix just to copy content-search.php to get
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-search.php
And does this work for all themes, or just this one?
great – glad you are fixed !
If you get a moment can you post a link to that fix to help anyone finding this topic at a later date.
