In reply to: Error in permalink
Well there’s not a lot you can do about it.
In reply to: Error in permalinkno can’t tell you why you have jumps – again I suspect spam filter taking out commenst – do you run askimet?
At least, for each topic the number for the first message should be #1 no?
no, bbpress is using wordpress post numbers. Everytime a post, page, comment, forum, topic or reply (and any other custom posts) are created or media item (eg picture) is uploaded, a wordpress post number is allocated.
Hence you could easily get large gaps in the numbers.
In reply to: Oh Brother…ok, two thoughts
1. if you put your bbpress.php into the twenty twelve parent theme, does it work ?- that will eliminate that file
2. can you create a page and put the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in it and see how that page works or not
In reply to: Oh Brother…what are you permalink settings?
In reply to: Error in permalinkyou should be able to see what has taken those post numbers if you go into phpmyadmin – you host provider should let you know how to do this.
Then look in wp_posts and click the ID column to get them into number order. You can then see what has taken those numbers.
In reply to: Oh Brother…ok, what is the main theme and how much have you changed in the child theme?
In reply to: Import ForumsHey really pleased – I started learning bbpress when I was asked to convert a Snitz forum in an access database to bbpress – it took me 17 attempts before I got it all working, with numerous resets and deletes in between, so I know the bizz you get when it finally works !
Hopefully it will all settle down now !
In reply to: Using shortcode [bbp-reply-form] to specific topic!?so if I understand, you have a topic in a forum, but want to use a wordpress page to allow students to post replies to this, without them needing to see or visit the forum – is that correct?
In reply to: Adding ThemesNot sure if you mean a theme.
bbpress uses wordpress themes.
If you want to style your forums use
In reply to: Error in permalinkbbpress uses custom post types, so forum posts will take the next number available in wp-posts list, along with posts, pages and other custom post types.
I’d suggest that if you’ve seen a big jump, then you spam filter is probably working hard, and that the missing numbers are spam comments in wordpress.
In reply to: URGENT – Nickname displays in address barsorry for the delay in replying, weekend and other commitments
when you say
The user registers with
Username : japs
Name : John Powellthe standard wordpress registration only asks for username and email, and then allocates the nickname as username.
What is adding firstname/lastname to your registration?
In reply to: Oh Brother…ok, lets eliminate plugins and themes as the 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
In reply to: Users Answer not in profileThe profile name is actually the page header from wordpress, and you are not displaying these.
you could add it to the bbpress template for that page.
If you have ftp access and are able to copy and paste files, I’ll come back with how !
In reply to: Forum, Topics, Replies menu items not appearing?did you try the theme as suggested above
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
In reply to: Oh Brother…can you go into
Dashboard>forums>all forums and then edit Mountain Club Suggestions
can you confirm that the permalink under the heading is
That functionality is in
In reply to: Oh Brother…try
dashboard>settings>permalinks
and just click save without changing anything
This refreshes the permalinks and frequently fixes this issue
In reply to: No Forums Link in Dashboardgreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Stop users from making topics@bobey but that would stop them making replies as well
In reply to: No Forums Link in DashboardIt 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

In reply to: hyperlinks / a inside forum content@kendorama yes that should do it
In reply to: restricting answers to adminHave edited the above to make it more accurate, but still may have errors !
In reply to: restricting answers to adminIf you have FTP access then :
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.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/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the originalthen you need to chnage the line
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() ) : ?>to do a check for keymaster and author
something like
<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster()) || bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_current_user_id() : ?>bbp_get_reply_author_id() might need to be bbp_get_topic_author_id() – you’ll need to try it to see
Give this a go, I’m very short of time at the moment, so haven’t tested !
In reply to: Adding Custom View Shortcode@twist360 I’d like to save this solution in my folder of useful info.
To save me copying and cobbling together the final answer from the above, can you post the final code you did for the solution below as one package
This will help others and be useful
Thanks Robin
In reply to: Help with Custom ViewI have to say I think your programming skills are probably better than mine !
The views bit hooks to bbp_has_topics, so the args are the key part to get this going, rather than needing to alter php files
see
for how another user got a custom view with meta data working – I’m a bit tied up at the moment to write the answer, but judging by your post above you should be able to work it out !
If you don’t then come back and I’ll try and help when I get some time
If you do, please post the whole solution here in the spirit of sharing – it would be a good one to have for other people, and to add as a plugin to the other plugin.
