Any replies with silly css hacks will be ignored

not sure that attacking potential helpers is the best way to get a response. Using hide in css is a perfectly acceptable way of achieving things even if you think it silly. I prefer non css solutions purely because my css is rubbish 🙂

Anyway in the documentation you will find

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

enjoy !

I see no front end forum

1. do you see it all in the backend?
2. what exactly have you set up to enable you seeing them in the front end, and exactly what are you seeing when you try to access the front end?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

I think your theme is causing this. Unfortunately many theme authors wrap the various sidebar options into one page.php file nowadays. It gives theme flexibility, but doesn’t help andyone with custom post types such as bbpress. I’ve taken a look and try amending the bbpress.php to

<?php 
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID; 
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die(); 
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
    <div class="container">
         <div class="middle-main content-full">
                 <div id="primary" class="content-area">
                        <div class="inner">
                            <article class="post post-details">
                                <?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
                                    <header class="entry-header">
                                        <h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
                                    </header>
                                <?php endif;?>
                                <div class="entry-content">
                                    <?php  while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
                                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                                    <?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
                                </div>
                            </article>
                            <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
                                <?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
                            <?php endif;?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                           
    </div>
</div>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>

which takes out all the stuff relating to sidebars.

Come back if that doesn’t work or errors

Nothing seems to have changed on the site

you may need to close down your browser and re-open it – many browsers don’t refresh css when the page is refreshed, so closing/re-opening is the best solution.

Otherwise it should take immediate effect

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

great – we’re here to help !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

good set of questions!

bbpress uses WordPress registration for forum users, so they will integrate nicely.

There are widgets within bboress that allow for login and registration

With forums set to public, then anyone can see forums, but only logged in users can ‘participate’

Users can change their email in the profile section

two queries

5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.

This will be the case, unless they use the remember me function, but in effect that is the same as it is a logged in person. There are plugins to prevent remember me if you want to disable eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/

7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.

They cannot delete themselves, they can just stop using. They can of course send the admin a request to be deleted, and then the admin has the choice of deleting all content for that user, assigning it to someone else, or just blocking that user so that the content remains under their name.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

@ebunny3k maybe fair comment, but not sure why you’re lurking on here if you feel that bbpress is such a bad product 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

can you carry out the steps in

Before Posting

then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

great – hopefully a later version of bbpress will fix this

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

yes probably it would.

I don’t know why it is doing it, and investigating is beyond the time I have.

Can I ask why the index itself is not the root you want to go? you can re-order the forum using order within each forum’s settings

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

ok, I think your theme is probably conflicting due to it’s layout nature.

so question, why not just make the forum not equal the slug?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

i have my forum built up by [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes

and these are one under each other in the forum name page?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

the same as my wp page’s slug

by which I think you mean you have a WordPress page called say ‘forum’ with the slug of ‘foforum’ with the [bbp-forum-index] in it?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced”

suggests that something is not right with the transfer.

The documentation is right

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums

so

are you still using

bbPress Advanced Capabilities,
Capability Manager Enhanced

or both?

I’d suggest they are not helping

I’d suggest you turn both off, and the report back with what is happening, and we’ll fix it from there

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

exporting and importing from bbpress to bbpress is strangely one of the hardest things to do. The plugin authors have not got round to fixing this yet (they are not lazy, just it hasn’t hit the top of the pile!).

any chance of a url to your forums?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

Last sentence is what we need to start with !

Can you explain a bit more about what the current site is, and how you got here

Have you just set up bbpress, and if so can you explain more about the migration of users? or have you migrated from another forum to bbpress? or what is happening?

Also exactly did you do to ‘remap everyone to the default’?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

I’d suggest you upgrade to latest wordpress, not to fix this issue, but because you leave your site more open to attack by using old software.

Onto your problem…if profiles are viewable by non logged in users – can you post a link to the forum so that we can see the issue

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

sorry, not sure I understood that, are you giving me a link to a page that you have made work?

What is the url of a page that doesn’t work?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

and are these people actually being added to the users database?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

can you give us a shortcode you are using and a link to the resultant page?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

bbpress hooks to wordpress registration, so any wordpress recapcha should work, you just load the relevant plugin and follow instructions

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

ok, as long a that doesn’t break the site it elsewhere you have a solution !
