@enkoes – is this related to just lead topic, or does this need posting as a new topic?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

dashboard>tools>forums>import forums

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

not sure how this relates to bbpress ?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

to atop forums being viewable to non logged in, the set them as ‘private’

dashboard>forums>all forms>edit forum and set visibility as ‘private’

if you want different users to see different forums, then

Private groups

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

ok, I cannot replicate that issue.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

ok, so if you go to

dashboard>subjects>all subjects, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) for the chosen subject then select option ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply

are they then showing as ‘sucbribed’ and this in not working, or does the subssribed/unsubscribed not change ?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

this plugin whilst old might help

BBP Improvements for yoast

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

I tried to do the same by choosing several forums for one user. But it didn’t work. The subscription is not applied.

can you describe exactly what you did, starting with

dashboard>

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

hey thanks, really pleased you find it useful 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

yes the issue was fixed by Astra in 4.1.2 after I raised it with them.

I just looked and there was an interim version they released which didn’t have the fix, but which my code did not pick up on, so that was the one you were on – apologies, I should have thought of that, but it was only live for a very short period.

Anyway glad you are fixed.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

With Astra releases above 4.0.2 this is not needed and you will not see the theme support tab – what exactly is your issue? ie wehat are you seeing/not seeing?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

Just reread what you wrote

WARNING :

exporting and importing users and forums will not I think fix anything

exporting and importing forums, topics and replies is not a good idea – this can destroy relationships between topics and replies.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

great – let me know if you need further help

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

do you have subscriptions enabled in

dashboard>settings>forums ?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

can you confirm what theme you are using please

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

hmmm.. that meta_key is used during transition, but should I think be deleted as part of the cleanup process. It is not needed in normal use.

There is some code called during password process that does a check which is where this is falling down

I’d suspect that then process did not complete correctly and has left this behind.

I’d suggest a couple of actions.

Firstly find a user who can help you, who has not changed password and who can log on. Without them (or you!) changing their password, delete the ‘_bbp_class’ meta key, and check that they can still log in ok. If so, then get them to change password and check that all is ok.
That should then give you confidence that this key is not needed for some interim process.

Then

1. if you have the knowledge to backup the user table so that you have a record, I’d suggest you take a copy and then run some php/sql to delete these records
2. more cautiously, I’d suggest maybe you rename that meta-key, that way you can name it back if needbe.

both of these would require pho or sql knowledge.

I’m quite happy to help if you’d like – contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ with a link to this thread so I can tie it up.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

thanks, I found the issue – fixed in 5.4.3 just released.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

no probs, glad you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

thanks – I’ll take a look at that

in that tab there is the option ‘Where to show roles’ – it is the first item in that tab.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum roles and you can set the topic author

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

you do seem to be massively over-thinking this 🙂

Install private groups plugin

create a group called’teachers’
create a group called ‘students’
tick the tab that sets up topic permissions
create (or edit an existing) forum
set the forum that teachers can create topics and replies
set the forum that students can only create replies
set each user to be either a teacher or student
job done.

you can leave the template for time unchanged.

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;

function rew_change_to_freshness ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
	$result = bbp_get_time_since( bbp_convert_date( $time ) ) ;
	
return $result ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 9 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php

transfer this to your pc and edit
that will let you remove the header and footer, and change the date function

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
