ok, may be a little rough, but seems to work

put this in your functions file

//This function adds the author to the reply
function reply_display_author () {
	global $countr ;
	if ($countr == 5 ) {
	echo '<span class="bbp-topic-started-by">' ;
	printf( __( 'Topic started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) )) ; 
	echo '</span>' ;
	}
	else {
	return ;
	}
	}
	
	add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'reply_display_author') ;
	

and then create a file called bbpress in the root of your theme and copy across loop-replies.php

then amend from line 42 so that it reads

<?php if ( bbp_thread_replies() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_list_replies(); ?>
			
			
		<?php else : ?>
			<?php global $countr ;
			$countr=-1 ; ?>
		
			<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>
			
			<?php 
			$countr ++ ; 
			
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
			
			
		<?php endif; ?>

seems to do the trick !

ok, so do you get this when you click edit on the profile page, or when you try to access the profile page?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Is it all or just some users?

try setting yourself up with a new username and participant and see if you can replicate the problem.

what are they/you seeing – ie do they get the edit option?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

This dropped into your functions file puts it in every reply – just thinking about how you’re get every 5th !

//This function adds the author to the reply
function reply_display_author () {
	if( get_post_type() == 'reply' ) {
	echo '<span class="bbp-topic-started-by">' ;
	printf( __( 'Topic started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) )) ; 
	echo '</span>' ;
	}
	else {
	return ;
	}
	}
add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'reply_display_author') ;

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Great – keep looking – there must be a reason , and if not database, then next will be
checking plugins are the same (inc version)
wordpress is the same (inc version) and
theme is the same (inc version).
Then it would be either

file corruption, so re-installing all the above software.
or server issue, check server specific files, check same php, MySQL and other software versions.

but there must be a cause !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

So your test site works, but you live site doesn’t?

If there on the same servers, then it has to be a difference in either settings (database) or code.

I’d try to work out which by backing up my test site, and then restoring my live site database to it

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

for details if you’re not familiar.

That should let you see which is it, and you can progress from there

come back and let us know how you get on

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

great – if you need the 5.2 version, come back and I’ll cut a version for you and put it on my website.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

could be done with code, but suspect not sufficient demand that anyone has coded it !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

post a link to the site, and I’ll take a look

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, php version use different code see

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API

The widget can then be registered using the widgets_init hook: 

PHP 5.3+ only: 
add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
     register_widget( 'My_Widget' );
});

PHP 5.2+: 
add_action('widgets_init',
     create_function('', 'return register_widget("My_Widget");')
);

I’m using code for 5.3 + – so if your site is using earlier, you would need to amend the line.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

“Still working on the forums page and ultimately would like more control over the breadcrumb, like changing the Home URL, or removing Home alltogether, in which I’ve used another plugin to turn it into a dash.”

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

on the forum display, still think given that it says “continue reading” I suspect that your theme is treating this as a post, and just giving what it thinks is an ‘excerpt’.

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry, yes I do understand your English, but I don not understand what you are trying to do.

Can you give an example of what you wish to change?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

‘I have the theme setup running on two domains, the one i use for testing, the funny thing is when posting on that site, the first post of the thread is shown.’

This would tend to suggest that something is different or not set the same. Are both on remote servers, or is one on a local PC running wamp or mamp?

Not showing a topic is a common symptom, but with many different causes, so there is no one solution.

There are a number of things you can try.

Resetting permalinks – sometimes fixes – in your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Repair Forums – Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forum and run one at a time.

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I can if you give me a bit more detail 🙂

What are you trying to do?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

put the following in your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Forum' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Tournaments' ;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

You would need to cut some code, but basically you would be looking at

using some code from the widget to find the latest topic

then maybe using the shotcodes

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] – Display a single topic. eg. [bbp-single-topic id=4096]

and if it has a reply

[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id] – Display a single reply eg. [bbp-single-reply id=32768]

using the do-shortcode function https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

If you do this, please post the result here for the benefit of others !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Your arcade-basic theme claims to be compatible with bbpress, so I’d also look at plugins

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, can you look at

Codex

getting started part 1, and see if anything in there helps

Come back

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

@blankstage – great – I only started with wrodpress and bbpress 13 months ago, and have learnt a fantastic amount since then !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

or it may be the php version you are using – can you let me know what this is if you know?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

@morgensonne

Interesting – I’ve just deleted and re-downloaded the plugin from wordpress and it activated with no problems.

However I would be interested if your test server is a ‘local’ one using wamp or mamp? that might be the issue.

Please come back either way, and I’ll try and resolve for you.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

no plugin, but this page shows how to add them using code

(I haven’t quite finished it, but it should work!)

Custom Capabilities

a filter such as

should sort it but doesn’t, and I’m too tired to work out why 🙂

Over to you !

ok, I can see that – don’t know how you would fix – sorry ! Hopefully someone who can will be along
