Hey great – just had a look and it look good !

Thanks for posting the answer back, it will help others

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

great -besy way to learn, I knew nothing of bbpress two years ago !

Come back if you get stuck, and if I can help with quick pointers I will.

In the spirit of community, it would also be great if you shard the solution if you get there, this is occasionally asked for, and I’ll add it to the codex.

key bit is on the topics widget for most recent replies, which you would copy and use

// Order by most recent replies
case ‘freshness’ :
$topics_query = array(
‘post_type’ => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
‘post_parent’ => $settings[‘parent_forum’],
‘posts_per_page’ => (int) $settings[‘max_shown’],
‘post_status’ => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true,
‘no_found_rows’ => true,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_last_active_time’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);
break;

that’s where the meta key bit is, so if your plugin stores as ‘_rating’, then that’s what would go in the meta_key line.

Don’t be sorry ! If that’s not where you want it.

I don’t know of any plugin that does this – sorry 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

once you’ve done that run the repair tool, they’ll have had a different forum number on the old site

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Maybe just have it on the menu?

see

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Most replied to is already in the topics widget (as most popular), so it would be nicking that query code.

It would not be tons of code to do a rating, as long as the rating system stores the score in post_meta, then a simple query with that meta would do it.

Just that I haven’t got time to code it at the moment.

suggest you

a) look at bbpress rating plugins
b) check that they store scores in post_meta
c) either code yourself (see bbpress/includes/common/widgets) for the widget code,
d) or pay someone to do it http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

as the software is free, it relies on the community to write guides etc.

If you write such guides, please come back, and I’ll happily add them to the documentation for the benefit of others

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok if you’ve done repair, then don’t know what else to suggest

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

none that I know are that integrated

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

your theme is having some issues with bbpress, in particular when trying to display that page there is an error

<article id=”<br /> <b>Warning</b>: Missing argument 1 for getMagicrechePageID(), called in /homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/page.php on line 25 and defined in <b>/homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/functions.php</b> on line <b>325</b><br /> chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering” class=”post-579 forum type-forum status-publish hentry”>

Suggest you refer to your theme author

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

so there are 40K replies in the forum, but just not counting them? ie can you se a really old one?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

First remove the data

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then remove the plugin

dashboard>plugins>all plugins>bbpress deactivate and then delete plugin

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Hey great = glad you like it, and a useful addition, so thanks for raising it

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

no problem, we’ve all spent hours trying to get something to work, only to find the solution was very simple !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

would definitely be worth you changing that back as a test and seeing if that fixes.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I presue you did an import (40K posts in 6 weeks would be pretty amazing !)

ok, next question is did they all come across?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Can’t see any widget area in your forum, can you post a link/url to a page showing the issue.

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

sorry for delay in response, very busy time !

I can create topics in beauty forum, but not in the Healthy Food forum?

can you
a. not see the reply form
b. see it by not type in it
c. type in but it doesn’t save
d something else?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

has it always done this?
is it a new installation?
when did it start?
and apart from you, will anyone really care??? 🙂 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

why not just have one form, referenced by a button at the top.

function bsp_create_new_topica () {
	 $text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) echo '<div style="text-align: center;">  <a href ="#topic">'.$text.'</div>' ;
	}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<a name="topic"></a>' ;
	}

	
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_create_new_topica' ) ;
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

(not tested as its cut down code from one of my plugins)

adds a link which lets you add a link to the top of the page which sends you to the bottom, which you can easily make a button.

add to your functions file https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

or take the guts into the template you’re amending.

You could probably send it to a collapsing div at the bottom if you tinker

That way you only have one form

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Great – glad the plugin is working for you !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, it’s working fine on my test site with bbpress and twentyten.

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, 9 months ago]

my shortcode

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’100′]

in

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

will let you change the number displayed, but only one page I’m afraid !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I tried it again and it works.

But you will need to reload your page, and a simple refresh won’t get it to load. If in doubt, close your browser and re-open it.

Let me know if you continue to have difficulty
