ok, let me look further

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

yes that looks right.

Has it done anything ?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

bbpress uses custom post types, so forum, topic and replies will be in the posts table

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

ok, for the moment, I’d suggest you add the code snippets plugin, that gives you an area to put it in.

That will let us test to get to a problem definition.

Once we know if this (or something else) is the solution, then we can get it into the right place, but I would prefer to be sure that the code is functioning so code snippets gives that certainty

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

as a test, let’s stop it adding the forum role on registration to see if that is interfering.

so use this code

add_action ('plugins_loaded' , 'rew_remove_bbp_role') ;

function rew_remove_bbp_role () {
	remove_action( 'bbp_user_register',   'bbp_user_add_role_on_register', 10, 1 );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

and then let me know if this makes a difference

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

ok, but it is the equivalent of asking me to diagnose the strange sound of your car by sending me a photo of the engine. A link lets me see what code is being sent to the browser.

Topics are typically greyed when they are closed – what state is this topic, and have you tried creating others to see if it is juts this one, or all topics are doing it?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

great – glad we got there !!

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

great – glad we got there !!

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

ok, both those links work for me

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

and with this one try

content-single-topic.php

and remove the line

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

ok, not quite sure why, but in that case

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

take out the line

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

which is in twice, so remove 2 times

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

make the file read

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit reply
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above 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-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

make the file read

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit Topic
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

if ( ! bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

	

</div>

<?php endif;

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above 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-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

thanks,

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

you might also try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login failures

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

always been like this?

Just started doing this?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

glad to have helped !

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

you’re close !!

Untested, but try

add_filter('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_topic_except_own', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_reply_except_own', 10, 2);

function rew_no_trash_topic_except_own ($links, $topic_id) {
    if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && get_current_user_id() != bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id )) {
			unset($links['trash']);
		} 
	
    return $links;
}

function rew_no_trash_reply_except_own ($links, $reply_id) {
    if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && get_current_user_id() != bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) {
			unset($links['trash']);
		} 
	
    return $links;
}

sorry, just spotted that you’d already switched themes.

Can I have a link to a live example plaese

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

hmmm… that’s interesting, I fully believe you, but am struggling to see why it should either slow the site or cause other issues.

I would suggest you undo the content-search.php change you made above and see if that affects anything.

Beyond that, If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and elementor plugin and my elementor fix and see if this sppeeds it up. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

so in

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>Group name settings – set up groups called ‘members’ and ‘author’

then in

dashboard>forums>edit forum – set each forum to be assigned to whichever group you want it to be visible to, and set the forum to be public (private groups will then hide it)

then in

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles – set authors to see the author group and members to see the member group

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

ah, ok add this plugin which should fix it

Hello theme Elementor bbPress template fix

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]

My private groups plugin lets you

create groups
assign forums to those groups
assign roles to the groups

thus giving you what you want.

Private groups

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 6 months ago]
