In reply to: Installed but I cant see the forum start page?
Great – sorry I’m working on some tricky coding for something else, but do come back if you need further help, or to let us know it worked
In reply to: My Thoughts on BBPResssHi Robin, so you don’t like feedback here?
I love feedback, but you need to realise that this forum is supported by a small bunch of volunteers. I have absolutely nothing to do with bbPress, I am just a user who is trying to give something back and help others, as I was helped when I started using this software.
But I do feel that to complain about the support and lack of functionality for something that is free, and that the authors could quite easily decide to stop developing, is not the best way to achieve a positive response.
Anyway I do hope that as you learn how bbPress works you will come back and help others, so that someone else’s answers are not left for as long as yours.
In reply to: Delete "no categories" on forum.#1 – ok if it worked with the twentytwelve theme, then we may still be able to help here, but try their support forum first, and if you don’t get help, come back and I’ll see what we can do. We can usually get you working with most themes !
#2 Don’t worry we all started not knowing, but as long as you are willing to learn and put a little effort in, we can help. So first of all we need to create a child theme to go with your parent theme. This will let you make changes without losing them on upgrades. Start by following this guide
Then come back when you have a child theme, and I’ll explain further 🙂
In reply to: Installed but I cant see the forum start page?Guess i have done something wrong?
probably not !
Ok, we need to eliminate other plugins and your theme
Plugins
As a test, 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, test by switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
In reply to: Moderation and Email Notificationsyour best bet would be to ask the moderation plugin author, as hooking to his code would be the best way.
I don’t know this plugin, so sorry cannot directly help – sorry
In reply to: My Thoughts on BBPResss2./ Lack of dedicated Styles and themes
I presume you also write to Ford to complain that the Ford car you bought doesn’t look like a Nissan 🙂
In reply to: My Thoughts on BBPResss1./ Lack of Support – check out this topic, not one reply as I waited for several days. In the end I had to do it myself on hope and lucky for me I puled it off. I hope this improves.
I’m sorry that you feel you should receive quicker free support on a weekend in the middle of the summer holidays for a product which was written for free for you, is supported by a small group of volunteers who have jobs, family and other hobbies to pursue, who do this for free, and spend a large amount of their free time doing so. That we failed to respond to you sooner is naturally a disgrace.
In reply to: Delete "no categories" on forum.#1 is related to your theme I reckon. Try as a test switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it disappears. If it foes come back and we’ll try to help further.
try my plugin
Yes maybe plugin or theme

In reply to: BBPress Avatarsthere are several avatar plugins out there, but none I know of have the specific requirements that you want.
try my plugin
ok, given that I presume you want to get rid of all topics and replies in the forum, and then the forum itself.
First take a backup – after you have permanently deleted, there is no way back !
then delete the topics and replies for that forum (or they’ll still appear in searches)
Dashboard>topics
at the top click screen options, and select say 500 so that you can delete 500 topics at a time !
The filter for the forum you want to delete and choose bulk delete.
Repeat for replies
Then
Dashboard>forums and select your forum and edit
under ‘publish’ on the right hand side you’ll see ‘move to trash’
click this and move to trash
you may then want to permanently delete the topics, replies and forum, maybe after backing up first !
In reply to: Forum not showing in /forumyes, sorry that we have not picked this one up earlier

great – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Email notifications are not sentyou’re welcome!
In reply to: BB Press Forum – email / approval and picturesI use the plugin Confirm User Registration which does exactly what you originally asked for.
You do need a small mod to get the participant part to work, but if you want to approve all users before they go live, then try this and if it’s what you want come back and I’ll give you the mod that makes the bbpress participant role work.
I also use SB Welcome Email Editor to make the wohle thing make sense to the user
In reply to: Unable to view forum rootcould be many things

In reply to: unregistered users can't see topicHow urgent? – I’m working on some other stuff at the moment, but I could load UAM in a few days and take a look.
In reply to: user profile link giving a 404 errorwhich of course is then not a localhost, so that’s why it doesn’t work?
In reply to: get search to show summaryI agree with you, but I am only a supporter here, I do not write the software !
I will take a look when I can and see how hard it would be.
In reply to: user profile link giving a 404 errormay be a local host problem.
when you hover over the username of someone that has posted you should see the intended URL at the bottom of the screen?
In reply to: unregistered users can't see topicok, I’ve seen UAM before but not used it.
If I understand correctly you want to protect posts and pages, but not the forums.
That should be doable.
bbpress uses 3 types of custom post
topic
reply
forumIt may be that you need to look that you’ve not set UAM restrictions on topics and replies thinking that these were WP not bbpress? That would explain the result you are getting.
In reply to: Forum list cutting offgreat – glad you’re fixed !
