sorry, I do not understand the question.
Please include a link to a live example
great – glad you are fixed 🙂
check if the topic is ‘super stricky’ – that makes it appear on every forum
are you running caching software?
thank you
put this in the custom css part of the style pack plugin
#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
background-color: transparent;
}
sorry, I’m not going to keep clicking forums to try and find one, either give me one or I’ll give up
ok, that’s your site, but where is a closed topic?
need a link to a live example on your site
put this in the style pack custom css or your theme’s custom css
#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
background-color: none !important;
}
if you are using bbp-styler-pack, the the backgorund is set in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Display item 4
Thanks for that – very useful.
Wordpress has a bewildering set of names including username, user display name and user nicename
As far as I can see, bbpress seems to be using the user database setting for user nicename.
So can you try adding this code
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'rew_add_user_nicename', 20, 1);
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column','rew_add_user_row', 20, 3 );
function rew_add_user_nicename($columns) {
$new = array();
foreach($columns as $key => $title) {
$new[$key] = $title;
//add the 2 columns after the forum role column
if ($key=='bbp_user_role') {
$new['nicename'] = 'Nicename';
}
}
return $new;
}
function rew_add_user_row($retval = '', $column_name = '', $user_id = 0) {
if ($column_name == 'nicename') {
$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
$user_nicename = $user_info->user_nicename;
$retval = '-->'.$user_nicename.'<--';
}
return $retval ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
Code Snippets
This will add a column to the dashboard>users table to show you exactly what is set as the user nicename. I have enclosed it in arrows eg
–>name here<–
so you can see if there are leading or trailing spaces.
try adding that name to the moderators and see if that works?
can you confirm that the issue you are having is this exactly
I have a topic with a reply. I wanted to split the reply into it’s own topic. Then I was going to move the new topic to another forum.
I can start the split process but when I tell it to perform the split I get this error:
“A variable mismatch has been detected.”
what version of Astra are you on?
if you users are registering, you’ll capture their email address in that part of the process.
If you are allowing anonymous posting, then the ‘create topic’ form has an email field which is not shown apart from to you as admin.
thanks for that, now totally understand.
Given that you have about 100 to do and they are in separate files, it would take longer to write the code, transfer the files and then run the code through them, than to just manually copy/paste into topics.
sorry, I know it is boring, but it is probably the best way.
do 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening each day, and in a week it’ll be done
so is this one text file with around 100 entries or around 100 text files?
for daunting read ‘full of options’
You need do nothing in style pack and bbpress will still work fine. you only need change what you want to
I just tried adding a user with a space in the name ie ‘test user’
then in dashboard>forums>edit forum>moderators I typed in ‘test user’
it did not pick up the name as I typed it so I had to type the full name, but it did accept it, and added it correctly to the forum database.
per forum moderators are relatively new, and the 15 yr old and 8 year old threads would have been for bbpress version 1.
so on my test site bbpress does allow moderators with spaces in the names.
my next suggestion would be it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
ok, for input, try
bbp profile information
which lets users add profile information.
ok, I found the divi theme on one of my customer sites and tested and followed Dozza’s advice
so go to
dashboard>Divi > Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear.
then
dashboard> divi > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option and disable
THEN critically you need to clear and server side caching, AND clear your browser cache.
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed.
Browser – see this helpful article
How To Clear Cache for All Major Browsers
then it all worked fine
thanks Dozza for your work on this 🙂
