    Can I build a website with WordPress without coding?

    I ran my first website for two years without needing coding. SO yes is the answer

    All membership plugins are individual, so cannot dierctly say what your does.

    Cancelling a membership plugin does not usually delete the user in the wordpress database, so their posts should remain with their name against them.

    If it does, then I’m not sure what will be displayed.

    Manually deleting a user you get asked whether you wish to delete the posts or assign then to another user

    no problem

    set up your ‘cars’ as categories
    Dashboard>forums>new forum. Call it say GM then on the right hand side you’ll see ‘Type’ change this to category

    Save this and exit.

    The in

    Dashboard>forums>all forums you have your forum list. For the GM forum, hover over the ‘edit’ option, and at the bottom of the screen you’ll see something like

    http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php/post=123&action= edit
    

    Make a note that 123 equals the GM forum category – you’ll need this later.

    The create your sub forums as forums eg Buick, Cadillac, and on the right and side make these have a parent of GM

    Then create a wordpress page called say GM, and put the shortcode

    [bbp-single-forum id=123]

    where 123 was the post number of the category forum you noted above

    Then just add this page to your menu

    This seems to be a buddypress issue – presume you posted this on their support site also?

    unfortunately bbshowcase was for the standalone version 1 of bbpress and doesn’t work with the wordpress plugin version.

    As suggested, I copied all the template files inside bbPress plugin directory to my active theme

    Not sure where you got that from. Only if you want to alter templates do you need to copy templates to a bbpress directory, and then only those you wish to change.

    Also, how do I remove Topic: and Forum: slug at the title of the page?

    Can you specify exactly what you want to remove – a screenshot would be good

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    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.

    sorry wp4.0 changed the way default permalinks worked, and this has broken bbpress child forums, which is I suspect your problem.

    There is a trac ticket for this with WordPress.

    The interim fix is to go to pretty permalinks (which you say you don’t want to) or only have forums at the top level. In theory this will be fixed in 4.0.1 whenever that comes out.

    if only twenty, then

    Find out the new users id – dashboard>users>all users and get user on screen. Then hover over edit, and the user id will be displayed in the url at the bottom of the page

    then

    dashboard>topics>all topics and edit each topic in turn. You will see author id on the right hand side. Amend to the new user id and update.

    Nothing I know of will do that.

    it could be coded.

    you could start by giving us a fuller problem definition

    They post a topic and YOU get a warning – when, what exactly does it say, where does it come up and when??

    this was for version 1 of bbpress, and is no longer relevant.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Then the changes have not reverted !!

    Are you running any caching software?

    Otherwise re-install bbpress (you’ll not lose ant data) and start again.

    This time don’t alter core files, use a child theme

    Functions files and child themes – explained !

    have you any other plugins that expect bbpress to be there – is so remove these first

    In reply to: Cant edit my posts

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok,

    can you confirm that it is still doing this
    when did it start
    have you contacted your host provider
    what else have you changed
    Is it just this one post, or have you tried others, both new and old?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, so change back and confirm it all works again

    Then post on here which bit you changes and to what, plus any other stages/actions you took

    bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    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.

    yes,

    Your ‘experts’ will be participants, or even moderators.

    Then for your ‘normal’ you’ll need to set up a custom role

    see

    Custom Capabilities


    https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

    you just need to set up a role where the user can not do any of the reply capabilities

    If you are then allowing some form of automatic registration, then set the default bbpress role to this custom one in dashboard>settings>forums auto role
