your code says

'_bbp_reply_count' => '19'

shouldn’t that be

'_bbp_reply_count' => '>19'

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

◾

When viewing http://thewritepractice.com/topic/test/ as admin, the Edit link is there in the box. When viewing it as the author of it however, not seeing Edit.

The above are wordpress roles (and useful info) but can you tell me what bbpress roles you have set for this user.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

try ‘_bbp_reply_count’ it’s in the meta data

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, it’s back to looking at this aspect specifically.

1. some themes only show the edit when you hover in the topic/reply content, this is theme specific not bbpress.

2. I know you have already tested the below but please try again as bbpress is tested with default themes. Try twentyten as I know it gives a firm edit box :

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, getting there, but a solution brief would be good. ie a long description of exactly what you want.

If it’s easy, I’ll drop some code

If not, I might look at it as a project

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, you mention ‘contributor’ – do you mean wordpress roles or bbpress roles?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

No im looking for this

I don’t know what you are looking for – from your original description my first answer would do.

Please come back with a fuller description of exactly what you want

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

I have disabled file uploads in my bbPress forum

ok, so how did you do that?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

If this is just a request (ie you are going to look at this), then any ‘form’ plugin will do that

eg

https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%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/%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( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>
			
<?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( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

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

<?php endif; ?>

and save

that should do it

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve split this to a new topic

please post you request below, or if that fails, edit the post above

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

It would be better to show a link to the form

load my plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

and go into

Dsahboard>settings>bbp style pack>d. forum display and click no. 5

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

you could put a link into the page so that they click to get to it

load my plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

and go into

Dsahboard>settings>bbp style pack>d. forum display and click no. 5

You could put the form first, but it will hide your forums, but if you really want to do that come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, the following code removes the edit for bbpress, but leaves it for normal wordpress pages

function wpse_remove_edit_post_link( $link ) {
	if (is_bbpress()) return '' ;
	else return $link ;
	}
add_filter('edit_post_link', 'wpse_remove_edit_post_link');

The users will still be able to edit their topics and replies via the in-box edit buttons

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

No problem.

Now you are back to the original, you might like to try this plugin that I have recently published

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

to style the elements within bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

PS The edit comes from the theme, and applies to the original topic not the replies.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Crazy that nobody has ever tried to use that feature before!

I expect lots have, but as it works for mods and above and site developers/admins tend to be at that level, then it would work.

… Participants should be able to edit their own topics.

Absolutely they should, and they can via the edit in the topic box.

As I said I’ll take a look at a filter to fix.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.

By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !

But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :

Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to

http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/

which allows a user to edit

But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to

http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit

which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.

So participants see this link which they can’t use !!

Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Category labels are ugly, but also understand their purpose.

Gotta agree with you ! But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if that’s the worst you can find then it’s doing pretty well 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

did you actually paste this line

background-color: “the color you see”!Important;

ie the real words “the color you see”

This would be ignored as it’s not proper code

And if you put this into your child theme, and you’re no longer using your child theme, then it wouldn’t matter anyway.

And if you go to the forum, the background of the actual site under the top nah bar is a light tan. Then if you click on the test forum to go into it (though there aren’t any topics), you will notice it gets darker.

Not sure what ‘the top nah bar ‘ if you mean nav, then I can’t see any tan in my browser, or anything going darker?????

Put an image on photobucket or similar please

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

so where did you change the background – in which file?

Also whilst caching on the server is eliminated, caching in your browser could be an issue.

So I might not be seeing what you’re seeing !

So try multiple refreshes of your browrser, and if that doens’t fix, can you post a screenshot of what you think is wrong, together with the url for that and I can compare !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

great !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

OK, so I can see that you are on the theme explicit, which is presumably the parent theme so we can eliminate the style.css file in your child theme?

So if you have only changed styles in the main theme via their system, and in the child theme via style.css then if the child theme isn’t active it must be something in the main theme.

Since this is a paid theme – suggest you contact the theme suppliers to see if they can help.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Haven’t had a detailed look but

bb_register_view should be bbp_register_view

bb is buddypress, bbp is bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, but sorry I don’t load sites that come up bad, so can’t really help further
