In order to test, I have created a new user (in users) but when I log out, and try to log in the new details it comes up with the wordpress admin panel saying wrong details.
Can you give the exact error please
presume you are using askimet as your spam filter, in which case 3 links and it’s pending !
ok, I googled and couldn’t find a theme called aqyp, so not sure where you got it from
ok, but when you do try it, if it doesn’t work come back – I have a plan B !
ok, so do you need help to correct the bbpress.php, or are you happy without it?
3. Completely hide any backend/admin type stuff from non-admin users so that they never leave the frontend part of the site
I agree – I hate that part as well
use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-from-non-admins/
2. Add a link to the bbPress Login Widget for users to edit their profiles (instead of clicking their names…clicking their names doesn’t seem obvious to me)
Can’t d0 that without coding, but my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
will let you add this (and optionally register and login/logout) to the menu bar
Install and then
go into Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login and take a look
ok, it hasn’t come through, so first of three replies to avoid the spam filter !
WITHOUT CODE – I can do more if you accept coding!
1. Alter the bbPress user profile page–adding new fields, editing existing fields and removing fields
Try my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
Lets you add 4 profile fields for users to update and you can optionally display these under the avatar on topics and replies.
If you want to remove fields – that’s code, but let me know which ones you want to remove, and I’ll take a look.
I’m in UK!
ok, two things we can do
try this first
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate
Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets
And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar
ok, so you have a sidebar, just not the right one – yes?
I had an idea, but having done a bit of research, it would be too much coding so at the moment the answer is no, sorry not possible.
great – glad you’re fixed
I have replies, but my comments gone into moderation as I put three links in !
I don’t get access to moderation (despite being a moderator), but if it doesn’t pop out in the next coupe of hours, I’ll retype !
Welcome, and I wish everybody wrote such a clear problem definition !!
Ok, what we need to do is to get bbpress to use the correct template/part of template that has the sidebar setup you want.
This is always that hardest part of getting bbpress working, as theme authors do like to make complicated themes !
First can you tell me what way bbpress is working in step 3 below
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
ok, so
twenty twelve theme without bbpress.php works
twenty twelve theme with bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child with bbpress.php and twenty twelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child without bbpress.php and twentytwelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work
Is that correct? or if not can you test each of the above
I’ve spit yours off, just edit the above or add your question below
for future you start one by choosing a forum, and scrolling to the bottom – hardly intuitive, but I don’t have control of this site !
how good is your php coding?
Well there’s not a lot you can do about it.
no 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.
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
what are you permalink settings?
you 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.
ok, what is the main theme and how much have you changed in the child theme?
