An interesting discussion, and can I perhaps add my thoughts as a plugin developer
You start from a perspective that bbpress would naturally seek to be all things to all people and should want to compete with other products.
I cannot speak for bbpress authors, but as a plugin author I write for the enjoyment and challenge of coding and to help others – I am not in an arms race or commercially minded – I can do plenty of that outside bbpress – and if some code I write has one user or thousands as long as it does what I want it to, I am happy. Yes it is nice to have good feedback, and improve it using others suggestions, but when these are posted as pseudo demands, or as a big list of complaints, then I have to say I would turn off. I do this for free, in my spare time, and for my enjoyment, and I suspect that the bbpress authors do the same as well.
I have to say therefore I find your general thrust of your demands, and your ‘I know better’ how bbpress should be run attitude upsetting.
This is a free product – if you want to improve it don’t whinge for the sidelines – write a detailed spec or better still write the code and submit it yourself.
Just telling others how they should do something that costs you nothing seems a very negative way to go about things.Just my view 🙂

In reply to: Topic & Reply counttry changing

$args['count_sep'] = '';In reply to: Help Wanted: Adding WebWiz Content to BBPressIn reply to: Changing Bulk Action Role Removes bbPress RoleThis is an s2member problem.
BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database
so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.
If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue
In reply to: Problem on installationnot sure if this is spam as I can’t find a forum.
Come back within 24 hours please
In reply to: change bbpress default themeIn reply to: Widget that combines topics & replies?yes, use the latest activity widget in my plugin
In reply to: Members cannot see private topicsThe ‘something happened’ is unfortunately the key to this.
Users will have a role, and the default roles are stated in
so as long as a user has the right level, then the default will tell you what they should have.
But an plugin, or change to functions code can change the default roles, so without pouring over the code, it is impossible to say whether a user has a particular level beyond seeing what they can do.
So you’ll need to come back to ‘something happened’ to wpork out wthat that was and why it affected.
So have you done
theme updates
plugin updates
changed themes
added or deactivated pluginsIn reply to: Help!! Please!!ok, found the link in your other post.
Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress rolesYou’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom
Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen
and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme
In reply to: New RolesAlways worth composing a long post on your PC first :-), I’ll come back with an answer on your other post
In reply to: Help!! Please!!@celticsweb – ok, let’s see if we can help.
Firstly
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above
I appreciate you probably tried to add a link, but it didn’t come through. Without knowing how you did this, it’ll be hard to help further, so come back with that first
In reply to: How to turn off page intro in forum?ok, we’ll need a link, as I suspect that ‘page into bar ‘ is either a theme related thing or your theme is doing something with the wordpress toolbar.
how is this bbpress related?
ok that’s just because you can have only one function name, and this is duplicating an existing oine (in a plugin I wrote!)
Do this instead
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function orko_change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == ‘Forum’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘new text’;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘orko_change_translate_text’, 20 );In reply to: can’t create sub-pages under “Forum” parent pageNo problem, glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: can’t create sub-pages under “Forum” parent pageIn reply to: can’t create sub-pages under “Forum” parent pageYou are, but I suspect that you’ll need to move to manual menu’s to make it work
go to
appearance>menus and create a menu there
In reply to: can’t create sub-pages under “Forum” parent pageok, bbpress use pages slightly differently.
Are you trying to get the sub page to show in the menu?
In reply to: can’t create sub-pages under “Forum” parent pagehmmm. not really sure exactly what you are trying to do.
How did you create your forum page?
In reply to: Privacy issue with group forumsIn reply to: How to add a topic stats column like BBPressin your function file
In reply to: How to promote myself to keymaster?you must have another plugin as well.
I can only suggest you contact you administrator
In reply to: New Topic Link not showing on fronted for usercreate a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpresswhere %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-topic-created.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/user-topic-created.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the originalThen modify or overwrite woth your modified file
