    will be at least tomorrow evening before I look at again, but the code does seem to work on my test stite with twenty ten, although I don’t know why it didn’t immediately !

    But when I do that, the the breadcrumbs no longer work.
    //69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/brokenBreadcrumb.jpg
    (I am sure the “Forums” in this image are truly the “connect/forum”)

    ok if you click that breadcrumb – I mean the forums bit, where does it go?

    If to forums, then we just need to add a breadcrumb before it to go to the connect page

    If not where does it go?

    Come back with that answer

    ok, not sure why, but my code is now working without me changing, but I did shutdown all browsers and reload from scratch and that seemed to fix.

    I can now change role capabilities at will, but initially like you the changes did not take effect.

    by the by if you have several sessions in one browser they will take capabiliites of another session, so have you admin in say IE and your user you are testing in say Chrome !

    it may be just me, it’s getting late but yes I can change the user to member, but it’s not altering the capabilites, I switched everything to false and I can still edit, but as I say it’s late and I’m probably not doing something right – I’ll take another look tomorrow.

    Also you’re using buddypress as well, does this give you the secondary roles you mention?

    yes the damn spam filter on this site gets overly keen – not my site I’m just a helper here so can’t change that.

    two links or two images seems to be the limit – try that !

    Hmmm.. I’ve just spent some time playing with this code, and it’s not really working.

    It is quoted in lots of sites inc http://gawainlynch.com/customising-dynamic-roles-in-bbpress-2-2/

    But as far as I can see you get the member role, but the site default role capabilities – can’t work out why at the moment. What is you site default, and would that make sense?

    Sorry, using css don’t know how to do that. As before it would I think involve a rewrite of the function bbp_reply_author_link

    And lastly, how to modify the css so that I can display the role as its displayed here on this website, ie., role covered in a box.

    just add

    background-color : green ;

    to your

    #bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
     #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
     #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role-admin { etc
    

    code above

    No bbpress doesn’t need these, so if you have a backup of them, then yes they can be deleted.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, there’s a conflict there between something

    what theme and other plugins are you running?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    You’d be filtering the function

    bbp_get_breadcrumb

    in

    bbpress\includes\common\template.php

    to put an extra link in

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I have to confess that I’m not quite sure what you are trying to achieve?

    Is it just to have another page in the breadcrumb flow

    Emails not working can be caused by many factors. Try working through the following :
    Spam filters
    You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site egfred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
    Host Provider
    Talk to your host provider about why emails are being stripped

    no it can be done by this

    so

    create a post (you’ll delete this after, this is just temporary) and put what you want in the content, including nay images, and get it looking like you want it. you can’t have any single quotes (‘) but can have double quotes (“).

    Then switch to ‘text’ view – top right of the content box. This will take you into html mode, and the ‘code’ we need will be there.

    Copy all this code into the $content = bit in the code above. It must have a ‘ at either end, and a ; at the end so you will end up with

    $content = ‘ whatever the text you copied is in here ‘ ;

    then save and upload, and delete the post when you are happy it works.

    Come back if any of that doesn’t work, and if you do and are happy to make it public let me know what you have pasted in there so I can make sure it’s right

    That link works, so not sure why you are not able to access it

    Another route to this

    Click Documentation above
    scroll down until you find
    ‘Functions files and child themes – explained! ‘ and click

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    @crystalleeanne that might be difficult, as the textarea is only acted on upon submitting the form.

    Can you explain what you are trying to achieve

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    That’s interesting, no it should show all the time.

    Can you check that activating / disabling makes it appear/disappear?

    What are your forums set to

    dashboard>forums>all forums and choose a forum you want and click edit

    then near top right your will see ‘forum attributes’ what is visibility set to? It should be public to display to non logged in users

    I presume your lost password page has [bbp-lost-pass] in it?

    the page does just refresh – not very helpful I know, but I’m not an author !

    are you sure that

    a) the email is sending
    b) you have the right email address
    c) it’s nit being junked by your email as spam?
