ok I see now
It is showing the url as
your-site/
forums/ [this is the part for all the forums]
forum/ [this is the part for a single forum]
name of the forum/ [this is the name of this forum]
you can take out the ‘forums’ part if you wish (and no reason why you can’t take it out if you want !)
Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug
and look for
Forum Prefix Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)
@suelunn
when you say ‘post twice’ – can you explain exactly what you mean ? Do you mean that a user cannot start two topics – one after another?
Great – glad you’re fixed !
I can’t see it twice – have you fixed this?
you have an entry in your /forums/#6 css file line 288 which says
#bbpress-forums {
margin-top: -70px !important;
}
remove this and it will display correctly.
No problem. One of the UK host providers lost all power to site yesterday, so several of my customers who host with them have been down, and I’ve been tied up helping them .. about to look at your issue!
Yes I did – you’re in a queue 🙂
Ok, not sure I can help further – have you got askimet spam filter switched on?
Several of the wordpress access manager products will allow you to control who can do stuff to what
I think (from memory) that ‘user role editor’
and if you are happy with a bit of code, then this will help you define new roles/admin existing and control access
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
that’s of my plugins then from a while back!
ok try my
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and use the
[bsp-display-topic-index show='5' template ='short']
which displays without the header.
If you want it customised just for you, contact me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk
If it is a Genesis theme, it may not play nicely with bbpress.
to fix have you added
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
plenty of plugins, just google ‘wordpress export csv’ and look for one that exports custom post types.
BBpress using custom post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’
Hi @tkserver – yes it was the
custom bbpress “threaded view” layout, which is the home page of utehub.com.
that I was discussing – it looks really amazing !
contact me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk
Hey TK – love this layout – and hate that your commentary got lost – any chance you could give us some code and hints that would let others share this great work.
I’m happy to help if stuff needs putting together eg i’m happy to write connecting sentences for non-experts if you do one liners for someone who knows what they are doing, and post stuff on the documentation part of bbpress etc.
Would be a real shame for a great looking site not to become better used !!
Feel free to contact me via my website if easier http://www.rewweb.co.uk
yes if you allow anonymous posting for the forums !
The user can do this by editing their profile.
The do that by clicking their name or avatar anywhere on the site.
Now that is not obvious, so
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#3-adding-an-amend-profilepassword-to-the-login-widget
in dashboard>settings>forums what is ‘Throttle posting every’ set to?
yes is the short answer, but I am lousy with sql
if you look in wp_posts – what is author_id set to for the anonymous posts?
which ‘shortcode plugin’ ?
can you post a url, so we can see
Bumping actually has the opposite effect – as most mods look for posts with 0 replies, so by replying to your own post, we only get round to them later !
start with
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
I use woocommerce together with ‘WooCommerce Catalog Visibility Options’ which ‘Provides the ability to hide prices, or show prices only to authenticated users. Provides the ability to disable e-commerce functionality by disabling the cart’ to run a catalogue only site. Ok it’s a paid plugin ($49) , but it works well.
can you explain a bit more !
You can allow anonymous posting on bbpress, so people who have not joined can post ‘topics’ which will be questions, but this will also allow them to reply to others.
