In reply to: Plugin Disappeared on WordPress Dashboard
ok, the software is held in files, the content (forums, topics etc) is held in the database.
Please read
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
for a long explanation of how wordpress is structured.
I believe you issue is as simple as that the level of user that you are does not permit you to se the ‘backend’ – that is the forum stuff in the dashboard – so deleting and recreating the plugin will not help you.
The answer I think is to go into phpmyadmin, and edit your entry to give yourself permission as per previous answer.
The link above should give you sufficient to be able to find your entry and edit it.
In reply to: What are shortcodes? How do I use them?The shortcodes can be used on any wordpress page
so if fro instance you wanted a menu item that display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums, so that when people selected this menu item that what they saw, then you would
1. create a page – maybe called ‘latest topics’
2. put the shortcode into the content section in this case[bbp-topic-index]3. add that page to the menu
In reply to: Forum and Topic Titles Missing…Sorry couldn’t see anything to look at in that link, can you explain your issue in a little more detail
In reply to: Need help with custom rolesThanks for posting the code, which if needed I’ll delve into
but firstly
It doesn’t appear to be working as intended though as I cannot give myself the owner roleCan you give a bit more detail here as to exactly what you are doing, and where what you expect to happen isn’t, and any error messages etc.
That is fully explain what ‘I cannot give myself’ means
Thanks
In reply to: SMF Import to bbPress@deanpnet No problem ! Happens to me all the time !
In reply to: Delay in posts showingare you running any caching software?
In reply to: how can I display the forum menu barI think you mean breadcrumbs the following shows breadcrumbs
They are still there, so you should see them, might be another plugin or your theme is hiding them
try
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.
In reply to: Plugin Disappeared on WordPress DashboardTo change it in the database, you need to
find out the id of the user – you can look that up in the ‘users’ table – probably called ‘wp_users’, just look for a line with the username in, and the user_id will be in the ID column.
Then in the usermeta table sort by user_id, and look for your user, then the entry called
wp_capabilities
For a keymaster and admin it needs to say
a:2:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}so FIRST copy what is already in there and save it to notepad or somewhere safe – you’ll want to be able to change it back if it doesn’t work and locks you out !!
Then edit and put the above in.
In reply to: Hidden private forumSo given forums 1, 2, 3 & 4
a. Not logged in user – should they see any forums or existenece of forums?
b. Logged in users – majority would have access to forums 1, 2 & 3 , but not know 4 esists
c. Chosen users – access to forums 1, 2, 3, & 4.Your answer to a. is needed first
In reply to: Plugin Disappeared on WordPress DashboardSorry missd your follow up mail
Can you not set keymaster by
Dasboard>users>all usres and edit the one and put in te keymaster role
Come back if not
In reply to: Remove SeparatorNo problem !
In reply to: bbPress in wordpress search resultsIn reply to: Remove Separatornever write code whilst your other half is waiting to go out !
ok, this works
function remove_sep ($args) { $args['before'] = '' ; return $args ; } add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;On your larger point, there are a lot of resources, but it takes a lot of practice to get good at PHP, and to understand how any plugin works which is the size that bbpress is.
Generally it is quicker to ask a question on here, than spend hours delving into bbpress. But if you start wanting to really tailor it, then the step by step guides and other documentation will try and get you into how to go about finding code within bbpress.
I know nothing of php 18months ago (I’m just a humble bbpress user – I didn’t write any of it!), and now have several plugins for bbpress to add functionality, so it is quire do-able.
I’ve tried to get much of my learning into the documentation, so have a look round
In reply to: I need simple breadcrumbno problem !
In reply to: Remove SeparatorPrevious response edited to correct
In reply to: Remove Separatorquick reply as I’m on my way out, so untested, but put the following in your functions file
function remove_sep ($args) { $args['before' ] = '' ; Return $args ; } add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscription_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;If it doesn’t work, come back and I’ll do it properly and test it for you !
In reply to: CSS issueThe link comes up with page not found
In reply to: I need simple breadcrumbIn reply to: Custom filesI have added a note in the step by step guide part 3 which should help, but if you think it’s not clear or find anywhere else that’s confusing, then please let me know.
I always welcome suggested text – someone who has just worked it out always writes better explanations that someone who is already familiar ! so if you want to post suggested text or alterations here, please do and suggest where they should go.
Thanks again, we can only improve the documentation if we get good feedback like this:-)

In reply to: I need my subtopic to have line-brakesIn reply to: I need simple breadcrumbIn reply to: ERROR WHEN ACTIVATING BBPRESSThis is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412
The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config
This is just information and should not affect its working
In reply to: Layout of the main forum is scrambled when I go backNo problem, the spam catcher sometimes get too enthusiastic !
I will presume you’re now fixed, unless you come back
In reply to: Custom filesWhen you read the bbpress information when it comes to customizing templates php ect it says to create a bbpress folder
I’ll take another look to see if we can improve the wording.
‘bbpress’ templates do need to go into a bbpress folder, but creating a ‘theme’ template for bbpress needs to go in the theme root.
I think that what it says, but clearly it’s not that clear 🙂
Thanks for posting
