@derock299 – sorry I don’t offer Skype support for this plugin, sorry but I have too much else on 🙂

Private groups would limit them, but you would need to set this manually after registration.

so you would have sitewide forums and general chats with no restrictions.

Then you would set the ‘year’ forums up to belong to a ‘year’ group so you would have the 91 forum set up a group name 91.

A user registering would not have access to or see the existence any of the private group restricted forums, so on registration would just see the [edit] public forums.

Then after registration you would simply edit that user to add them to say the 91 group, and they would see the 91 forums or forums (and obviously the open forums) and no other restricted ones.

I would suspect that automating this would allow anyone to register and immediately get access to a ‘year’ forum, or register multiple times and get access to lots of years, defeating the restriction, so manual adding (allowing your to verify) should be fine.

Howveer if you want this automated, you would need to email me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk but it might be expensive to code (I’d need to work that out) or try http://jobs.wordpress.net/

You can set all this in the forum

So if you go into dashboard>forums>all forums and edit for each forum in turn

On the right hand side you’ll see

Parent
Order

For your top level forums (eg farm machinery), have no parent and then just type in the order you want, so first top forum will be order 1, second order 2 etc.

For sub forums, they will have a parent, but again you just set the order, eg Machinery for sale would be order 1 and Machinery wanted order 2

By the by if you want you subforums to be vertical and/or to take away the (0,0) then see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Thats’s a real shame, but great that we’ll still be able to contribute. Robkk should aslo join, he helps a lot, and has been suggesting stuff to go in (which hopefully he is writing !)

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok,
Firstly bbpress roles and wp roles are entirely different, and are set in different places in wordpress, although they share the wp-capabilities space in wp_options.

So you can have an author who is also a keymaster and an administrator who is only a participant.

what other plugins are you running ? and how and where were/are you setting up the bbpress roles?

a membership plugin might be responsible for this??

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok, that suggests you have pages with forums-2 and forums already existing – check you trash and delete permanently

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

sorry but not in any plugins that I know of

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I suspect it is the loop-single-forum template

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-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/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then

remove lines 20 and 24

line 20

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

line 24

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

come back if that doesn’t work

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok – if you are using a page then you need to edit the permalink of that page

dashboard>pages and edit the page and look for the permalink and edit it to just forums

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

should work on that setup you state – are you sure your email address is correct?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

so where do you want them to go?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

If I understand – check the permalink for that forum in

dashboard>forums> and edit the forum then look at the permalink

If that’s not the issue, please give us the full url of what it is showing and what you would like

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

try

function role_show ($args) {

as your first line

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I don’t specifically know if that is default bbpress behaviour, suggest you 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.

If none of those show a change, then it is probably default behaviour.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

can you either give a link or a screenshot so we can see exactly where it is ?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

suggest you read

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

in particular section 6 that talks about adding a register page and putting this into your menu

and yes bbpress will work alongside buddypress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

sorry, but since your site requires login, we can’t see

However I’d suggest you check that no plugin updates are needed and then

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

yep, agree that looks silly.

I’d suggest you start with loop-replies

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

sorry, but that topic looks fine on my PC in IE, Firefox and Chrome

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

hmm, it must be on doing something with one of the plugins – like looking at the settings page of the plugin.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

url please !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I’m just not much of a programmer

hey no problem, you may need to come back when you have renamed and copied the file for further help – which theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

put the following in your functions file

add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}
 
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

With so little information it is hard to help !

It could be a theme or plugin issue
