ow !

Hopefully the company have restored the database to back beyond your attempts to optimise it?

If so it should have no errors. So if it has, they probably need to go back to an older version if they have one – many hosters don’t.

Is it just forums entries that are missing???

if so you could try

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums

and when you do get it going again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do stuff to a live site again.

1. a few hours invested in a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

and you would not have lost your live site, and

2. REGULARLY back your main site (the above tells you how) and you could have just restored that – hosting companies rarely keep much, and an issue found after a week can be fatal !

Do come back for further help if needed.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

ok.

What caused the site to ‘crash’?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

just to jump in here

bbporess 2.5.5
wordpress 4.1.1
Twentyten theme

and no other plugins does not have this issue.

Therefoere it is likely to be a plugin or theme issue

as suggested by Robkk, suggest you

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, 6 months ago]

Great = glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

Could be many things that have been set in your theme or plugins.

you best bet would be to hire someone to fix

Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
from the docs

Near the beginning of many functions we find :

// Parse arguments against default values
    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
        'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => ' (',
        'count_after'       => ')',
        'count_sep'         => ', ',
        'separator'         => ', ',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true,
    ), 'list_forums' );
 

This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

bbpress works as a plugin to wordpress, so you set up a wordpress site and add bbpress.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

I got

the website declined to show you this page – permisisons issue – talk to your host provider about this

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

basically you don’t with automatic registration.

If it is a retirement home, so the users don’t need to register by computer remotely, then simply set them up using

dashboard>users>add new and set up all their details including a password, and then either email it manually or just tell/give it to them.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

sorry, but kit’s not clear what you are currently displaying and what you would like to display, as the display seems to reads exactly as you are asking in then last three lines of your post.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

ok, no promises on timing, I’m very stretched at the moment, but send a link via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

ok, so can you tell us what you want in simple English – stick away from css and jargon 🙂

eg

I want the xx forum to have this background and the yy forum to have that background, and all sub forums and topics to also have this

or whatever you want !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks rob as usual for the better css code !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

ok, this could be lots of things, and part of what you mention is buddypress not bbpress.

so start with

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and if you aren’t seeing forums/topics and replies in the back end then

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

There is no need to copy the bbpress.css file.

you just need to put it in your child theme’s style.css, BUT add the ‘!important ‘ which stops bbpress overwriting it.

.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg') !important; }

You may find you don’t need all the string above ie ‘.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background ‘ but have a play if the full doesn’t work, or come back with a url/link and I’ll try to help

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

unfortunately they are not !

I don’t know why !!

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

the following works

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
 function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
 if ( $translated_text == '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title.' ) {
 $translated_text = '<strong>CHYBA</strong>: Vaše téma musí mít název.';
 }
 
return $translated_text;
 }

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

but equally well, the line is in the pot on line 3727 as

Line 3727: msgid "<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title."

so you could just use then normal translate !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

I’ll admit CSS is not always my friend

Whilst really useful I hate this as well.

Where are you putting that code?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

ie only two links, 3 gets spammed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

bbpress uses wordpress as it’s host and using a combination of the two you should be able to achieve all this

1 yes
2 yes
3 yes
4 probably
5 lots of wordpress petition plugins
6. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/
6 (again) lots of diary systems within wordpress
7 would tend to do this within wordpress

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 6 months ago]

its a theme issue,
