to see forums you need ‘keymaster’ permission
so you need to go to
dashboard>users and see who has this permission, and if needed get them to grant it to you.
If no-one has ‘keymaster’ then come back
As I said ‘yes it is possible but beyond free help.’
I’m away for e few days, but if I haven’t responded to this thread by this time next week then please add a further reply to remind me
I am not a bbpress author
A possible reason is detailed on my site
bbpress role adder
you could use this to amend the role
come back if you need to
This was a topic for a much older version
please explain in detail your issue
I think you’d need to raise that with the plugin authors
‘specific user group ‘ – do you mean a buddypress group, some membership group or can you clarify.
I think you will need to raise this with learndash, as this is the plugin that is controlling this, and is a paid plugin we do not have access to.
so what caching plugins are you using or caching provided by your hoster?
what theme are you using, and link to a live example on your site please
I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.
Moving bbpress between sites is surprisingly difficult.
This is because bbpress is so tightly integrated into WordPress.
This gives 2 main issues:
1. Users – bbpress stores topic and reply authors as their WordPress user ID number. So unless the all the bbpress authors users on the source site a) exist on the target site and b) have exactly the same ID numbers on the target site, then imports can have issues.
2. bbpress users WordPress Custom post types and the WordPress Posts table. This means that bbpress forums, topics and replies are not in a separate table, but integrated into posts and pages table. Many plugins use this method. So on the source site a fourm might have a post ID of say 168, but on the target site post 168 might already exist as say a page. So on import WordPress importer will just allocate it the next ID number in the posts table, lets say 265. Now when topic belonging to the forum 168 on the source site is imported it still thinks it belongs to a forum with a post ID of 168, but this is already allocated to a page, so the topic is not listed as belonging to any known forum. The same applies to topics and replies.
I’ll post more on this later, but that outlines why it is not working
um… you don’t seem to understand how Open Software works, who and how much are you paying to get customer service???
I appreciate that you are feeling a sense of frustration.
But both WordPress and bbpress are free software, and come with free support offered by volunteers.
In effect you are asking someone to take their free time to help you, and then complaining that it is not at the level you want.
When I asked for a link to your forum page, you were unable to provide this, giving a link to a page that does not exist. As such it is hard to help – a bit like asking for help with your car, but then not allowing me to examine your car.
If you provide a link to the forum, the I may be able to help further, otherwise ethe best I can offer is to read the documentation
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
and/or the advice in
Before Posting
bbp style pack
has lots of options to style and add features to bbpress
these are ‘admin’ buttons which normal users don’t see.
sorry, weekend and other things got in the way, but I have been playing with this.
Try :
add_shortcode ('bbp-forum-subscription-link' , 'rew_forum_subscription_link' ) ;
function rew_forum_subscription_link ($atts) {
$args = array() ;
if (empty ($atts['forum'])) return ;
$args['object_id'] = $atts['forum'] ;
if (!empty ($atts['subscribe'])) $args['subscribe'] = $atts['subscribe'];
if (!empty ($atts['unsubscribe'])) $args['unsubscribe'] = $atts['unsubscribe'];
return bbp_get_forum_subscription_link ($args) ;
}
and then put this wherever it want it to appear
[bbp-forum-subscription-link forum="2927" subscribe="Subscribe to Fishing Report" unsubscribe="Unsubscribe to Fishing Report" ]
with the forum number and whatever wording you want

No probs – if you can find an article on the net that talks about SEO and URL hierarchy I’d be interested to see it. From my albeit brief googling, I found nothing that indicated that URL’s structure mattered, just the words.
you might do better to just install
bbp style pack
this should let you match or contrast elements as you wish
Is there a way to remove the “Forum”? Even that feels unnecessary to me. Again I’m no expert in SEO.
given that you don’t know if having these makes SEO worse, neutral or even better, you seem a bit obsessed by it 🙂
Like you, I am no SEO expert, but I have seen nothing in any discussions of forums for SEO that even mentions the URL’s, and most forums I have seen use this structure.
The same goes for the subforums which are now /Forum/root/subforum_name, and I would like to get rid of the root here as well (it doesn’t show up in the forum index). What is the purpose of the Forum Root slug, anyway??
dashboard>settings>forums>forum prefix and exclude it!
that’s how it works by default
what are you seeing?
if they want to look at code that already does this, then they can download and crack open the code in
bbp profile information
ok, that just goes to a 404 page.
Try dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
