    ok, thanks for the clarification.

    You say that everything is working on the backend – this would suggest that the import is fine, and maybe that something else is affecting.

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back !

    I copied the entire Recent Topics widget code into my functions.php

    You need to copy and rename it.

    Then you use this new named widget, not the old one, so need to cal the new name in your sidebar.

    bbpress works with 4.1 so it not/not only a 4.1 issue

    It could be a theme or plugin issue with 4.1

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Just to be clear, I’m expecting

    I have a forum on xx running version yy of bbpress, and am trying to move it to zz.

    I did

    Dashboard>tools>forums>export from the xx and then vv to the new site

    The issue I have is……

    Can you help me ?

    Really, I’m not kidding, have you guys read the bbPress installation guide lately?

    I wrote all the step by step stuff, so it’s fine with bbpress 2.5.4

    I appreciate that you are frustrated, but perhaps you’d like to start by telling us what you are trying to do rather than just rant.

    And why have you been trying for over 4 months, but this is your first post here?

    hi, can you either post a link to your site and the page with the issue, or if this is private the contact me via my website

    http://www.rewweb.co.uk

    @robin-w

    this is a bit clunky, but should work, depending on what you want the final to look like

    First forums are custom post types topic, reply or forum.

    so use an exporter to get them into excel

    eg

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-2-excel/

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-csv-exporter/

    Then use say MS word and mailmerge to pull in the data into a format

    Then save the resultant word doc as a PDF

    @robin-w

    the page is a virtual one

    Just add it as a link to your menu

    dashboard>appearance>menus

    and look for ‘links’ under the pages on the left

    add it as

    http://solonacademy.com/forums/

    and add to menu.

    Then just edit the description to Forums or whatever

    @robin-w

    several ways you could achieve this, and depend son how your site is set up.

    if you have ‘approved’ forums as private and the rest as public, the you could user an ‘approve user’ plugin to prevent users accessing before approved – several out there – just google

    wordpress plugin approve user registration

    or you could use :

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

    to control who sees what forums

    @robin-w

    If I needed to control when the replies are asc or desc, what would you recommend? I’m using a custom post type; could I just add a meta box that calls the change_reply_order if checked for desc?

    No you really woul;d need to use filters. These work with some shortcodes.

    Where they don’t, you’d need to create a new shortcode, but if you need that come back with which and I’ll work on that.

    I can only suggest that you go back to

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    and then come back.

    @robin-w

    Let me know which shortcodes you are looking to use, and try the

    function change_reply_order() {
    $args['order'] = 'DESC';
     return $args;
    }
    add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');
    

    first to see if it works

    ok, I’ve had a detailed look, and there is no simple filter, so we just copy the function, rename it, and the hook back

    yes just use ‘hours’ instead of ‘days’

    eg

    if ($last_active < strtotime( '-48 hours') )

    This is theme related, to prove as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    I suggest you start with the theme author and see if he can suggest how to fix.
