Basically just create a file called say ‘close.php’ and put this code in it. Create a directory in your site
wp-content/plugins/close
and put the file in there
then go into
dashboard>plugins>installed plugins and activate it
I haven’t tested this.
In reply to: How to get the topics of a specific userSorry, but there’s no simple way to do this.
It can be done with code, but I don’t know of anything that has already been done
In reply to: How to get the topics of a specific userwhere are you trying to ‘display the topics that the user created (the logged in user)’??
In reply to: Auto Remove Forum Post (bbpress)did the code work?
In reply to: Is it possible to use Legacy Plugins? Poll plugin?I think if you really want a feature paying £3 for it is really not asking that much!
In reply to: change forum sidebarthis is a widget logic problem, but try
!is_page(‘page_name’) || (is_single() && !is_bbpress())
if not, then try the support page, but is not well responded to
In reply to: Duplicate "Forum Topics"I know nothing of buddypress, maybe try posting onto their support site
In reply to: Is it possible to use Legacy Plugins? Poll plugin?it is very doubtful if any legacy plugins would work.
no, I’m stuck on the javascript part – can’t work out why it’s not kicking in !
In reply to: import from vbulletin3 and no repliesHave you run the repair forums?
Dashboard>tools>repair forums. Run them all, but only one at a time !!
In reply to: Widget Problem – not showing up on main forum page.ok, have you tried either of the options in the following
Great – I am really pleased that you persisted and got to a cause, and hopefully shortly a permanent fix.
And thanks for posting back the answer here 🙂
In reply to: Widget Problem – not showing up on main forum page.can you say which widgets, and are they not appearing at all? Are any widgets appearing on that page – is the sidebar appearing?
Great, I’m glad you are fixed !
Interesting that without the private groups it didn’t work as expected, and with the private groups it also doesn’t work as expected.
Maybe be worth investigating the theme and other plugins to see if they are causing an issue.
so with private groups deactivated
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.
Thanks, Stephen ! 🙂
As you describe you should have
Private forums – readable only by logged in users with participant role (ie members)
Hidden forums – readable only by moderators/keymastersYour issue is that logged in user cannot see the private forums.
At a quick guess I’d suggest that your users need roles assigned – having re-read my documentation this isn’t at all clear – I’m off to tidy that bit!
In dashboard>users>edit user you’ll find forum roles at the bottom of each user’s details
Anyway that’s my guess, come back if I guessed wrong !
You could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups if you don’t want to give your ‘officers’ back end access
In reply to: Moderators Disappearinggreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: How to remove the freshness LinkTry
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
This has lots of options, including changing the freshness link so that it does not give a back door
In reply to: Moderators Disappearingsuspect this is a theme or plugin issue

In reply to: Hide role in the forumGreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Links not showing in ForumGreat, glad you’re fixed !
‘a big pet peeve of my mine’
and also of mine for exactly the opposite reason !!
Where I want the user to go down a route and not have to backtrack through 10 pages they have subsequently looked at, then your logic is fine, they will go that way.
Where clearly you want them to be able to take a look, but not lose where they are, then a new window is logical.
Finally I dislike the ‘thought police’ making up a standard and then trying to tell us what we should do. I thought the internet was about freedom of expression !
So taking the last sentence I wrote, then I have absolutely no issue with bbpress not coding for new window, but I would 🙂
In reply to: Links not showing in Forumyes the links are set as white in the display
try adding this to your style.css
#bbpress-forums .reply a { color : blue !important ; } #bbpress-forums .reply a:hover { color : green !important ; }I haven’t tested, but should work, come back if you need more help !
