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

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.
no problem – I’m glad you’re fixed !!
We all learn all the time 🙂
ok, now that you have explained what it is, I understand and can help !
In the code is
// NOTICE! Understand what this does before running.
$post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
bbp_stick_topic($post_id , true); // Making it super sticky !
If you had done this – ie Understand what this does before running.
you would have known the answer –
sticky sticks a topic to the top of the forum it belongs in.
super-sticky sticks a topic to the top of all forums
Great – glad you are fixed !
I answer q’s across many forums, and don’t have the time to work out what it is trying to do so what’s the purpose of the code then?
no sorry I still don’t know what exactly your issue is.
WITHOUT THE CODE – what is the problem?
great – glad you’re fixed
I suspect it is a theme issue.
But if you have created a page and put the shortcode in and that works, then why is this not the solution?
ps whilst your link is probably fine, MacAfee advised me that it was a suspect site, so I didn’t view your png
sorry but I am not sure what exactly the issue is.
It would seem that
Without your code you have problem a
and with your code you have problem b
is that it, AND IF SO can you state your problem without the code you added?
No problem – glad you’re fixed
Starting by complaining about how something that is free doesn’t do it for you is not really the way to get help.
I suspect that bbpress isn’t for you.
yes download my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which should let you change colours, styles and lots more
no problem – glad you’re fixed !
yes just make it a sticky topic
