not sure quite how threatening to remove something that is free, cost you nothing, and is supported by volunteers who are paid nothing and have tried to help you to get something working that you had working perfectly well at the start, but has somehow got messed up is really s’posed to progress to a resolution.

I know you are frustrated, but taking it out on here is not really the answer 🙂

I hope you are able to get it working, but if not find another solution, and wish you the best for the future.

bbpress has a separate set of capabilities, so you can set permissions for the wordpress part of your site totally separately to the capabilities for bbpress.

see

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

and if needbe

Custom Capabilities

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

do you mean the permalink for your topic is

/edit.php?post_type=topic

as in example below where the permalink is under the title

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

long answer I’m afraid and in two parts

part 1 – setting the user permission to allow delete topic and delete reply

delete is easy, making it only trash is in part 2 !

Basically you’ll need to change a couple of capabilities of the participant role

see

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

you see the abilities delete topics and delete replies (as distinct from delete others topics and delete others replies)

Whilst you could amend the participant role, I haven’t documented that, so easiest is just for you to create a new role and give it the participant capabilities plus the ‘delete topics’ and ‘delete replies’. This article explains how

Custom Capabilities

add this code to your functions file – see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

part 2 – changing the function, so that delete is only shown for keymasters

This code will only allow a keymaster to permanently delete a topic

add the following to your functions file

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_trash_link', 'topic_dont_delete');
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_trash_link', 'reply_dont_delete');

function topic_dont_delete( $args = '') {

I haven’t fully tested this code as my test site is in some disarray whilst I test something else, so you’ll need to check that it works

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

1. go into dashboard>forums and under the title you will see the forum’s permalink. It should read forum-2. change it to forum

2. go into dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum prefix, and untick

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

ok, thanks for that info

if you go into

Dashboard>topics>all topics –

1. can you see and edit the topic?

2. what is the topics permalink? (just under the heading)

(this is just for my info)

then reset the permalinks

dashboard>settings>permalinks

see what they are set to, change them to anything else and save, and then change them back and save.

The come back and tell me what happened !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

just seen you later post – you should have

dashboard>settings>forums

have you got that?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

ok, I presume the one topic posted is after you re-installed

did you have topics before that you are expecting to see?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Hi, sorry but can you post a screenshot of what it looks like via say photobucket?

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

did you install any other plugins in between?

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

I know you’ve done themes already, but you need to test if it works on a default theme with just twentyfourteen and the bbpress plugin. If it doesn’t then something in your site is screwed up 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

presume you removing the titles from

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums

and renaming as per

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3

then

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum

has the content that you’ll want to take out

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Try

http://www.trickspanda.com/2014/03/auto-redirect-users-login-wordpress/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

but you don’t have to do it al at once, so take a pause and go back to it in a short while… 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

yes it was supposed to change the color to black.

You can change it to whatever color you want

see

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp

and maybe use

http://colorcop.net/

to find the right color

Please don’t stop – keep improving that is what you are supposed to do, you’ve come a long way – learned how to create a test site, add functions and styles, but it requires effort ! Learning firebug will help you tailor your site’s styling. Adding color cop will let you choose colors – please keep working at getting a site that is what you want. 🙂

‘ I am afraid to mess with these things like firebug. 🙂 ‘ – 1. that is what the test site is for, 2. conquering fear is part of life’s journey, and surely this is only a very petty fear – work through it !

I’ll come back on registration when I get a moment.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

hmmm.. ok but we’re starting to need lots of extra code

ok so add

#bbpress-forums a {
color: #111111 !important ;
}

This will change the font throughout, and you can play with the colour.

If you want the topic and date to be different, we’re getting into some real css styling, which is beyond the purpose of the bbpress support forum, and perhaps you need to start to look at how to use firebug so you can see what you need to change eg

then you can style any forums part by preceding it with

#bbpress-forums as I’ve done above.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

to change the font (sorry I missed that) , change it to

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
color: #666 !important;
font-family: ‘Open Sans’,Arial,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

No 2 did not seem to work on the test so i did not add it live. I added it to the bottom of the style.css so I am unsure if that is the issue.

No 2 changed the font colour and size of the forum list – look at ‘prayer requests’ in you test and live sites to see the difference.

What else do you want to change?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

@marianne78 not quite sure what you are saying.

Can you detail
how many forums you have,
whether they are all private,
when the message appears (eg when not logged in),
whether you are using a forum page with bbp-index in it,
what settings you have for dashboard>settings>bbp private groups in forum visibility settings and general settings

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Now, can you explain what registration process you would like eg

user does this
what user info you want
emails goes from..to…saying
Site manager does that…

etc. ie design your ideal process 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

you’re welcome

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

for no. 1, add this code to your functions file

//display last topic title in freshness for forums
function display_title ($anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id ) {
$anchor = '<ul><li><a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $title) . '</a></li></ul><a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
return $anchor ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'display_title', 10, 6 );

Having coded it, I like the way it displays, and will be adding to the forums on one of the sites I support – one of the reasons I support this forum is that I learn and get ideas from others 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

to your functions file see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

for no. 2

add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
  color: #666 !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

to your style.css

great – glad you’re fixed !
