@obinyc sorry missed this post
try
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
@drceng
lots of different boats, and yours is probably not the same.
Do you have a sidebar at all showing?
Have you followed
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Come back if you need further help
ok there are two parameters
wordpress – has subscriber, author, admin etc.
bbpress has – participant, moderator, keymaster etc.
you’ll see the bbpress roles when you do into
dashboard>settings>users>all users and go into edit users. Look at the bottom of the screen and you’ll see forum role.
If you are manually registering your users, then have set up a user, you’ll need to go back into edit to add the role.
If your users are automatically registered as part of a process, then you’ll need to set Dashboard>settings>forums and change/tick automatically assign users the participant role (if that’s the role you want them to have).
In automatic mode, the user is assigned the bbpress role on first login. However if you are using third party registration processes (eg plugins to do that) then some override that, and that part of the process doesn’t work, so you’ll need to check that rthe process is happening.
Come back if you need further help.
great – glad you’re fixed !
thanks for posting that and I haven’t got bored with this subject, just V busy elsewhere !!
I’ll try and come back and help when I get some time to properly digest !! 🙂
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.
do you simply want the forum to be hidden from non-logged in users?
If so private does what it says on the tin. So set the forum, and all posts under it will be private as well.
If you need only some users to see if private, then
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
is what you need.
great – glad you’re fixed !
ok, several ways you could do this, the best I know is
https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
just create a page called anything and put the code on it.
you’ll be looking for a custom post type of topic.
see https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/wiki for the arguments you can use
you can then determine exactly what you display
but something like
[display-posts post_type=”topic” posts_per_page=”15″]
would give a simple list of 15 clickable topic titles per page.
great – glad you’re fixed !!
Not quite sure what you are after
Do you just want a list of topics?
you url followed by /topics will get you to a list of topics, but will include freshness
eg
http://www.mysite.com/topics
come back with a more detailed description of what you want and we’ll try to help
no it’s not difficult, but would take a bit of coding
You’ll need to either create a copy function and use that or amend the topics widget and risk it being overwritten by updates.
There’s no simple, filter I can see.
so go into
bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php
and on line 807 you’ll see the author-link being created
the correct solution would be to create a fresh version of this widget, by say copying it to your functions file and renaming it.
If you just edit the core file, it will be overwritten by updates, but as long as you note what you’ve changed and accept that risk !…
so you’d need to look up the last reply for that topic, and then do another author link for that reply.
Sorry, I really busy at the moment earing a living or I so the coding .. so unless someone else steps in, see how far you can get 🙂
you shouldn’t be changing directly !
can you come back and post your code for 2, you’ve just missed a “‘” somewhere I expect.
great – glad you’re fixed
great – glad you’re fixed
can you post your solution to help others ?
I presume the forums are currently private?
What code are you using to display the latest 4 topics
if it’s not working try
color: #404040 !important;
if bbpress loads after your theme, then it’ll overwrite changes made in your css, ie revert them back
yes, I’ve started a plugin that does some different shortcodes, and at the moment one that does just that is all that’s in there
bbp additional shortcodes
sorry I’m getting confused
aren’t you using
bbp_topic_admin_links
and then filtering this to just display bbp_get_topic_reply_link
????
try changing
bbp_is_topic( $r[‘id’])
to
bbp_is_topic()
the template already knows what the id is
