There are companies who do this for a fee for instance

Migrate Mingle to bbpress

(I have no connection nor have I used these people !!)

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

ok, you probably need to contact your host provider to get the correct database name as it tells you that ‘mydatabasename.wpforum_forums’ doesn’t exist.

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

wordpress and encryption – there are plugins such as discussed here

https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/plugins/end-to-end-encryption/

but either solution will be time consuming – good luck !

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

ok, suggest you quit that and do

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

and then try the conversion again.

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

Hey thanks for responding – I’m a testing team of 1, so knew there would be bits that weren’t right or missing.

yes can you send me screenshots, that would be very kind.

Contact me

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

ok, no problem, I can’t judge how technical people are 🙂

You can do this in your main theme, but you would do better to create a child theme

Don’t be intimidated, the following should explain

Functions files and child themes – explained !

when you get to

What is FTP and how do I access it?

To access your files, you’ll need an FTP client. Some host providers do with within their administration area, check with your host provider if in doubt

I’m pretty sure form memory that hostgator has an area that does that called c-panel, but check with them if in doubt

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

you would do that through forums and sub forums rather than topics

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

can you try disabling that and seeing if the edit comes back

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

that is a theme issue, suggest you refer to your theme provider

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

try

bbpress wp4 fix2

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

suggest you put it as a project on

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

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ would solve the first one, but not encryption or a network of private diaries

This all sounds very bespoke and time consuming

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

great – glad you’re fixed !

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

No problem, I fully understand your issue.

This is working as designed, the idea being that a private forum should not indicate that a subject exists.

Therefore it takes you to your theme’s 404.php page.

You could modify this page to include a login offer, but after login this would only take them to the home or forums page, not to the link, but that might be better than just a 404.

If you want to go that route, contact me via my website

I’ve posted a response in your other thread

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

sorry most mods look for topics with no replies as ‘new’ so by bumping after less than a day you fell through the system.

support on here is free, but run by volunteers.

Can you tell me what the link in the email is?

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

this lets me login fine and it all seems to be working

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

ok, what theme and plugins are you running?

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

and since bbp_reply_count is in the metadata, you’d need to refer to that

see

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

so something like

add_action( 'bbp_init', 'view_twentyplus_posts_init' );

function view_twentyplus_posts_init() 
{
		
	$args  = array( 

	 'meta_key'   => '_bbp_reply_count' ,
          'orderby'  => array( 'meta_value_num' => 'DESC', 'title' => 'ASC' ),
          'meta_query' => array(
		         array(
			'key'     => '_bbp_reply_count' ,
			'value'   => '19',
			'compare' => '>',
		),

	);

);

	
	bbp_register_view( 'twentyplus_posts', __('Popular Posts', 'twentyplus'), $args, false );
	
}

bbpress doesn’t do it’s own moderation

1. Do you have askimet running? This can flag users, and bbpress looks at this database.

2. What do you have set in Dashboard>settings>discussion in moderation and balcklists

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

Great – glad you’re fixed, and sorry I didn’t get to you earlier.

Also thanks for sharing the solution which will help others in future

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

not sure why you’re posting this in bbpress support forum?

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

ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then change lines
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

to
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

and save

that should do it

How are you hiding the forums from non logged in users

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

but all other can´t com in

so what are they getting – a login screen and then what happens?
