    Given this is the second forum you’ve tried, I’d bet that your issues are theme rather than forum related !

    can you give a url, or tell us what theme you’re using?

    @robin-w

    the front page layout is achieved by ‘topics’ to the url eg

    www/mysite.com/topics

    add this url to your menu (links), and you have a latest topics page

    and the display is the content, not in a sidebar as a widget.

    Not sure if you wanted it in a sidebar that would be very populated.

    suggest you start with looking at

    bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php

    This changes bbpress to go to buddypress profile, and should give you all the code you need.

    so where do you want them to go if they are either not logged in, or are looking at someone else’s profile page? (as that’ll determine where you might start!)

    Actually just looked, yes you can do this within the backend by a simple edit

    so you’d create the topic first (dashboard>topics>new topic) with your username, and copy/paste the text in.

    Then go into dashboard>topics>all topics. Select the topic you created above, and you can change the author ID and date in there. For author, you’ll need to have set up your users first.

    To find a userid from name, just go into

    Dashboard>users>all users

    Hover over the edit button of the user concerned, and you’ll see

    http://www.mysite.com/…./user_id=112

    ok, so then to answer your orig question – “Can I easily change the dates and authors of messages on bbpress?” for 40, yes IF you have access to phpmyadmin and are comfortable in doing a few simple (and safe) edits within it.

    If that sounds ok, come back and I’ll tell you what you need to change

    ‘Would you happen to know if i can assign/connect such a “private” Group to a Membership Level of my S2 Members WordPress Plugin?’

    Offhand no, I haven’t played with the s2 plugin to know what it does or how it works !

    I suspect that total automation would be hard given that you’d presumably need to link a course or courses to a forum or forums, and then link memebers to a group within bbpress representing that.

    Load the plugin and have a look, it’ll take you probably about 10 minutes to configure and 1/2 hour to work out how you might want to use it. Then come back and let me know what you are trying to do.

    Don’t promise to link, but if it’s easy!

    Chill, we’ll hopefully work it out.

    you might (should) want to create a test site. Whilst that may seem daunting, it is quite easy to do, and once done a great way to test stuff without risking the live site.

    see

    https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

    Couple of questons when you are ready

    1. The page you are linking to – this is just a members page, not a link to the forum pages?
    2. What is your forum slug called (go into dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum slug.

    Please don’t apologise for inexperience, we’re were all there once !

    Just double checked it and the code is fine.

    Probably an issue with you either not copying across fully, or a paste error.

    Delete the code, copy across again and retry

    if it still fails, come back with the bit of code that is on the line it falls at (and the line before please!)

    and I’ll look further

    strongly suspect this is a theme issue. Since this is a paid theme from themeforest, suggest you contact their support for help, and come back and let us know what they suggested.

    My plugin will allow you to create 8 groups that can have one or more forums made private for them.

    bbp Private Groups

    The 8 restriction is simply because this is a new plugin, and I haven’t written infinite groups yet.

    How many courses are you planning?

    ok, I presume that bbpress is deactivated on the live site at the moment.

    I suspect that bbpress is using the wrong page template probably the one that the page “what the hinge” is using.

    Given that this is a paid theme from themeforest, so may have very complicated page templates, can you look and see what page templates are available that bbpress might be using

    add the following to your functions file, and the sub forum descriptions will display

    //This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
    function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
    
    	// Define used variables
    	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
    	$i = 0;
    	$count = array();
    
    	// Parse arguments against default values
    	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
    		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    		'after'             => '</ul>',
    		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',

    			$i++; // Separator count

    			$count     = array();
    			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';

    				$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];

    			// Build this sub forums link

    ah..

    I would expect it to look like the second by default. If you take out the starter theme does it revert to that?

    1) have you set up your email address in dashboard>settings>general?

    2) If registration is automatic, then they’ll be sent a password. They can change this in their bbpress profile – they can just click on their avatar, or you can add this to wdigets or the menu – see

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
