    If you want to alter the widget, then you can rename it and put it as an additional widget in your functions file.

    You will need to rename it in several places.

    If you want to work on the core version and get it working, then if you want to post a revised core version (and any associated css) here, then I’ll quite happily work out the rename areas so you can then post it in your functions file – as long as your version is freely available for others (and me) to use.

    from php 5.4 onwards php was stricter when looking at strings and arrays.

    I’ll need to correct the code to work with later php versions

    One last thing, do I add the code via the editor or FTP?

    Either is fine, I’d tend to do it via FTP and keep ols and new versions of the function file on your PC

    And is there a tutorial on how to add a child theme?

    This is a wordpress feature

    Just google ‘wordpress creating a child theme’ or ‘wordpress creating a child theme video’ depending on whether you prefer seeing or reading

    How to Create a WordPress Child Theme

    looks a reasonable explanation

    Ok, I’ve had a look, and worked out where bbpress was overriding the moderator issue.

    I have released a new version 2.5.2 which will do as the help text says

    Moderators with a group set can only see, participate and moderate open forums (those with no private group set) or forums which they belong to.

    Moderators with NO group set can see, participate and moderate all forums

    Please update and come back and confirm this does what you want

    ok, for the moment either ignore or set them on.

    I’m just fixing another issue in another plugin for someone else, and I’ll look at this after that.

    @robin-w

    yes, the warning is there for the upgrade reason, and as long as you change it knowing that it might disappear on upgrade, then you can change it.

    You are using mamp – I suspect you have php5.4 within that?

    If you confirm yes, then I suspect I know the source of the issue, and I’ll need to work a solution out.

    Do you mean that it has always been set at that, or that you have just set it as that?

    @robin-w

    ideally you should, and this will ensure you don’t lose changes.

    If you just put this isn’t the main theme, it will be overwritten by any theme updates, so if you decide to go this route and not create a child theme, keep a note of any changes as you’ll need to add them back after any updates

    As per my post above

    Does the email address in

    Dashboard>settings>general match the domain

    that is
    does the email address in Dashboard>settings>general end in lbfgamesonline.com.br

    for instance

    info@lbfgamesonline.com.br

    @robin-w

    so is the email address the same as the domain as per post above?

    Can you tell me if you’re using 2.5 or 2.5.1 of the private groups plugin?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Wish I was a team !!

    I suspect that this is how it works.

    For participant roles I can use my plugin to tightly control access.

    For moderators, originally moderators could see and moderate all forums.

    I then amended this to allow them to moderate only forums with no group set or with their group set. However this related to moderation, I have sort of presumed that moderators could see other groups and have participant rights in them, just not moderate, as it was moderation that I was controlling.

    I suspect that some users would like it as above, and others with no rights for other private forums, as you desire.

    I’ll take another look at the code to see how easy it is to change, but moderation hits into many places in the core bbpress code, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to be that flexible.

    Sounds like some email systems are ejecting mail

    Does the email address in

    Dashboard>settings>general match the domain

    eg

    Website http://www.mysite.com

    Dashboard>settings>general fred@gmail.com

    Doesn’t match, and many email systems will delete this email as spam

    Website http://www.mysite.com

    Dashboard>settings>general fred@mysite.com

    does match as both are mysite, so emails are coming from the correct domain

    Most host providers give email addresses that match the domain, and admins you can forward incoming mail to your ‘normal’ email or set them up a say pop3 email accounts.

    It bugs me as well.

    Two solutions I have documented

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    You can also copy the core file into your functions file, hack it and rename it. There are several places it needs renaming, and if you would like to post your working solution, I’ll happily make a functions file version, as long as I can use it publicly

    ok, so set up that forums 1, 2, & 3 are private forums

    Dashboard>forums>all forums and edit each to set visibility on right hand side to private

    These will then only be seen by logged on users.

    Then for forum 4 set up a group using private groups plugin

    Dashboard>settings>bbp private groups and set up a group under the ‘group name’ settings tab

    then set the private forum to this group

    then set any special users to this group

    ok, the post count is being out in by something called the bbps ranking system

    the line in the browser comes out as

    <div class=”bbps-post-count”>Post count: 0</div>

    The only reference I can find to this is in this topic

    (CSS Review Needed) Switching poster picture and link to UserPro

    where the plugin author talks about adding different bbpress templates, which add this line – in the example in the link above it shows as

    <div class="bbps-post-count"><?php printf( __( 'Post count: %s', 'Avada' ), bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw(bbp_get_reply_author_id()) ); ?></div>
    
    

    which of course references the avada theme !!!

    If Avada hasn’t asked you to change bbpress files, then I suspect that they might be using the same hook I use to make this appear – suggest you refer Avada back to this post, and ask then if they have a hook to

    do_action (‘bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details’) or can explain why that line appears
