Lots of info stored against a topic in wp_postmeta and several parameters you could use, but the most obvious is

_bbp_last_active_time

so your sql statement would search through wp_posts for a post type of topic where postmeta post id _bbp_last_active_time was greater than a month.

Easiest way to get you head round this is to look at a forum topic in your website that has replies, and make a note of the topic number in the heading (the #nnnn eg #15108 bit!).

Then using phpmyadmin, go into wp_postmeta table and type the following into the sql query

SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id=15108

where 15108 is the topic id number.

You’ll see all the data stored against it, and the above should become clearer.

post type is stored in the wp-posts table

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’topic’

not easily from within wordpress.

How many users do you have?

Do you have phpmyadmin access? If you do then have a look at the wp_users table – don’t worry accessing the database isn’t really that scary as long as you go slowly and make sure you don’t update !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

I’ll need to do a small update.

Small update done, version 2.4 should count the users correctly !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

ok, so I take it they don’t show under

dashboard>users>all users

and that they haven’t set an alias, so their display name is different than their login?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

I haven’t tested but try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

does your forum support ‘anonymous posting’ ?

Dashboard>settings>forums and look for ‘anonymous posting’

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

would like it to appear on the “wardens-forum/”

Dashboard>settings>forums and in Forum Root Slug untick ‘prefix all forum content..’

ps. to hide the search link

Dashboard>settings>forums and untick search – allow forum wide search

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

if you set a user as moderator and allocate them to a group then they can moderate that group and any open groups

it doesn’t come up with that user under group1

I’ve just looked and I haven’t altered how this tab displays sine I changed another aspect, so this doesn’t work – I’ll need to do a small update. Thanks for spotting this.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

ability for a user to be set up as a ‘private group moderator’

see the help text, you can have moderators of single private groups under the plugin.

the moderator from above can grant access to users who have requested access to a private forum

Sorry, doesn’t currently do this, and have no plans to do so for the plugin as yet.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Hey no problem, glad you’re fixed !!

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Without being able to see, hard to know what your original issue is.

However you should have forums set as

News
Sick and injured seals
etc. and then your ‘posts’ are the topics under each forum

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

may be a conflict between the Exchange Membership plugin and mine.

Try deactivating the exchange plugin as a test and see if that fixes. That would confirm a conflict or not

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

@robkk – I was hoping you might join in here, you css is so much better than mine !!!

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

try just

.content-area {
width: 150% !important;
}

but that might muck up other areas of the site

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

That looks suspiciously like the problem and the solution! and as it’s recent it’s not in the core.

I’d suggest you change the core and see if it works.

If it does, then make a note, and check on the next update that it’s been incorporated.

Changing the core of a plugin is only a problem because it will probably be overwritten on next upgrade. You could write a couple of filters (the capability is there) if you’re worried about changing core.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

ok, in your theme css add this at the bottom

#bbpress-forums .content-area {
width: 150% !important;
}

My css is lousy, so if this doesn’t work, come back !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

My role no longer displayed as ‘villager’ but instead switched back to ‘participant’, and the ‘trash’ links were never present

That’ll be because the code you’ve changed is in the functions file of your theme?!, so goes when you switch to a another theme.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Ok, no don’t bother – I was not really expecting it to change anything, just wanted to eliminate before jumping into lots of code, but since it will be a hassle, we’ll leave that for the moment and I’ve now looked at the raw code !!

ok, the template it is using is loop-single-reply which then callsbbp_reply_admin_links . this then checks whether it is a topic or reply and for a reply continues and then calls each of the elements in turn

so for trash it calls

bbp_get_reply_trash_link and checks that the user can ‘delete_reply’ before posting that link.

For a topic it jumps to

bbp_get_topic_admin_links and checks that the user can ‘delete_topic’ before posting that link.

NOW I guessing (and probably wrongly, but am short of time tonight so will get you to do more work!) that the codex or this function might be wrong and you should be giving a delete_topic singular rather than delete_topics so give that go.

If that works (and I’ll be very surprise if it does!), then you’ll need the filter much earlier to prevent permanent deletion.

Otherwise I’ll take another look tomorrow !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

sorry it didn’t like that login

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

can you humour me and 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.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

great – good to know that the good old “start again” technique still works 🙂 That’s computers for you !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

If you are using the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

on a page, then the template that page is using can be called but sub pages will use bbpress.php

See if that is your issue

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

you need my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

membership plugins on their own do not protect from widgets and searches.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Sorry, need a screenshot to understand 🙂
