usually putting #bbpress-forums in front does the trick eg

#bbpress-forums .entry {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

there is a setting for this

Dashboard>settings>forums

Disallow editing after….

change this to whatever you want

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Ok, I created the changes needed – go to my site and download the changed files – instructions are there

Come back if you have any queries

@peterwsterling

Are you saying that you get this issue with

wp 4.0
BP 2.5.4
NO plugins apart from bbPress
Twentyfourtenn theme

?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

ok, there are two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in either of these plugins may help.

bbpress wp4 fix

bbpress wp4 fix2

ONLY have one active at a time. The first form some users may show the same topic content against several topics, so fully check several posts to ensure it isn working for you.

If it does, please come back and say

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

The normal behaviour is to allow anyone to see profiles.

You can limit this to only logged in users by adding some code to a couple of files.

If you have c-panel or ftp access and know how to transfer files, come back and I’ll help you with the changes.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

@seojobb – so now you ned to work out which one is causing the conflict by re-enabling one at a time

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

ok, save this file as bbpress.php into the root of your theme

ie

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme !! 🙂

Then add a line above the last, so that it now reads

<? get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

bbpress will now use that page as the one for bbpress, and should display a sidebar.

‘tweaks’ should tghen sue this fro your forum sidebar.

Come back if any of that doesn’t work, or you need more explanation

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

@vegas778 – I’m just a humble wordpres/bbpress user, and it may well be that I cannot help you, but I’ll try if I can.

I tried googling meta title, but that phrase doesn’t seem to exist.

You have again posted several pages, but I still don’t know which are ‘correct’ and which are ‘wrong’ in your view, and to be frank, which bit the meta title is?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

@peterwsterling – which theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

can you post the code for the full width one here please

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

@vegas778

I’m sure there is a question in there somewhere, but I have no idea what it is.

Can you come back and explain
What the issue is
what is currently showing
when or where it is showing it wrongly, and where correctly
and how you would like it to show

Thaanks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

great – glad you’re fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

images are doable, but you’d need code that is beyond the free help on here

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

yes, you will need to rename one of your theme pages (the one that has only one sidebar) to bbpress.php and put it into your theme

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Yes, each of your

['my_custom_role']

needs to be different, otherwise it’s just overwriting each time, which is why only the last one shows
eg my_custom_role1 my_custom_role2

giving

$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1>'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Recruit',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
  $bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Corporal',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

@martinperreault – hey thanks for that – it’s good to know that advice works, and always nice to be appreciated 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

try running repair

Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums

and run one at a time

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

I personally have no experience of multisite, but most times when this doesn’t work on single site, it is a plugin conflict.

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.

Suspect that won’t help, but in case, and since no-one else has responded 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Users don’t normally see those words, not quite sure where you are seeing these, can you post a link or screenshots please.

and what do you mean by topic status? – again link or screenshot please

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Have some patience – this site is staffed by volunteers and the service provided for free !

Dashboard>settings>forums and switch off forum prefix

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

If you have one of the two issues listed above, then you can se if the suggestions work for you, or wait. The first has a ticket with wordpress so hopefully will be fixed in 4.0.1
