nope – that’s how WordPress themes work!!
so is the theme an FSE one?
with bbpress active, I normally only let users see that profile.
You might want to disable the WordPress admin bar for ordinary users. There are a bunch of plugins that do this.
eg
Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles
see you other post, but if that doesn’t fix, then since it is a custom theme, you are in effect telling me you have a car, but cannot tell me make or model, but want me to tell you how to fix it, when I have no idea what the problem is….
and you have paid someone else to build this car for you, but want me to fix it for free 🙂
Not quite sure why you are asking here if you are paying a designer to create a site like this??
but if you are using an FSE theme, then this plugin is needed
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
If it isn’t an FSE theme, the the plugin will give you several widgets that are used on this site.
suspect it is theme related.
Can we have a link to a live example?
no problem.
on no. 3 there is a bbpress profile and a wordpress profile. Other plugins may also add their own profile pages.
If it is not the bbpress profile page you want it to go to, then do come back, I can probably give you some code.
on 3. it normally will go to
.com/users/%username
where %username is the username !
what do you want it to go to?
on no. 4
So style pack got rid of the home – yes ? that shows that it is doing something.
So you have a page with a permalink of forum? yes?
With presumably the [bbp-forum-index] shirtcode in it – yes ?
and you have set the breadcrumb root to …com/forum. As a test can you try setting this to
https://www.facebook.com/
and see if it takes you to facebook
This will tell us if style pack is executing the link, but something else in your site is redirecting.
no problem, have a good weekend
because I am feeling in a good mood, I did a bit of searching.
There is a way, but you have to edit a bbpress file.
so go to
\bbpress\includes\admin\metaboxes.php
and remove line 445 which says
'show_none' => esc_html__( '— No forum —', 'bbpress' ),
and save it back
You will need to do this again if bbpress issues an update, but those are few and far between.
bbpress is free software and has no dedicated support. The bbpress authors rarely visit the support site, and there is no way to contact them directly. That is the nature of free open software – you write it and put it out there, but with no warranty and no obligation to support.
the car/train analogy was you using the backend for frontend tasks 🙂 The backend is designed for admins not users.
Any code can be changed, but I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others and only so much I can do, and spending several hours working out how to achieve this is beyond my current resources – sorry.
this topic talks about buddypress, but the principal is the same, and not knowing the structure of salient, it might be sidebar.php that you need to use
https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/150515
hmmm.. looks like you need a bbpress template in your theme.
so first you need to create a child theme – the ‘salient’ theme docs should tell you how to do this.
Then in your salient theme copy the ‘left-sidebar-page.php’ file you created into the child theme, and then rename it ‘bbpress.php’
That should mean that all bbpress pages use this template.
Ok, I tried to look, but cannot see any obvious fix for this, I’m not sure how the code is working that sends this – sorry I’m not able to help further.
this does feel like you have abandoned the car, and are now trying to get a train to go along a road, and I’m not sure you’ll ever achieve that.
I would say that I am not a bbpress author, I just started using bbpress and got interested in improving how it looks and works.
I will try and find time to look at your other questions, but I do this in my spare time 🙂
it can be combinations, so yes, I want to eliminate that.
Given that at the moment I have the problem as :
On registration:
worpdress has no role
bbpress has participant role
so you need subscriber role to be set
then I am struggling to see how bbpress is ‘unsetting’ the subscriber role.
ok, let’s try the standard fault finding :
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error, starting with wpforms, and then style pack.
Then come back
1. suspect this is something learndash is doing – as a test confirm by deactivating learndash and see if they show.
2. The IP adrress only shows for keymasters, ordinary users won’t see it.
is the salient theme topic you refer to visible to anyone and if so do you have a link?
