Hey thanks, glad its working for you !

Name is gender neutral I know, but I’m the male version 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I’d take out the line

<?php get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); // Loads the sidebar-primary.php template. ?>

as that is loading a sidebar !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

the following code in your function file will remove the subscribe

function remove_subscribe () {
$retval=false ;
return $retval ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_subscribe_link', 'remove_subscribe' );

‘share’ is a buddypress function I suspect – sorry I know nothing of buddypress !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

No problem,

It might 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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, I’ve created a new version 1.8 that should fix the top level forum, and done some other tidy-ups that may or may not affect your search.

Can you try it again?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

There are all sorts of backdoors that a ‘page/post’ restricting plugin doesn’t cover for bbpress

For instance :

search is usually forum wide
http://www.mysite.com/topics
http://www.mysite.com/replies
looking at topics/replies created in a user profile
recent topics widget
recent replies widget

all usually just bypass a plugin written for pages.

which is why I wrote the private groups plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

There is no reason why it shouldn’t work alongside your members with members protecting your pages & posts, and private groups protecting your forums.

BUT you do have to set users up to see restricted forums, and this is manual. It is quick to do (just a setting within the user settings), but if you have an automated joining process, then you would need to add a manual step (or write some code!)

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

If it is text within wordpress/bbpess then the following code in you functions file will change it

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

But ‘text’ may be made up of code. For instance in your ‘create new topic in’ – the word topic may actually be a variable (I haven’t looked !), and the wrap around text used elsewhere for instance ‘create topic in’, ‘create reply in’, ‘create forum in’

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

when you say you’ve re-installed, do you mean your upgraded to 2.5.4. if not, what caused you to re-install?

Did the ‘button’ work before or is this a new installation?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I’ve just started working on a plugin that will have some additional shortcodes in it

the only functional one so far is the ability to show the latest xx topics

you can download it from here

bbp additional shortcodes

you use the shortcode

[bbp_display_topic_index show=’5′]

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Interesting, and offhand I’m not quite sure why it would do that, but I’ll have a dig and come back

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

great, glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

but i don’t want this boring theme

Yes, I know that – it was simply to test that it was a theme issue

as I said before

you’ll need to contact their support site for this as it’s a paid theme

http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901/support

they should be able to help you

Themes can be very complicated, and we don’t offer a service to make bbpress work with bespoke/paid themes – that is for the theme authors to do 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

and the second problem…

the logon widget is held in :

wp-content>plugins>bbpress>includes>common>widgets.php

I suspect you’ll already know that it is bad practice to alter core files, as they get overwritten on upgrades.

You’d do better to fork the code into your functions file, rename and create your own widget based on that.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

Then I changed the slug of my 2 forums (slug? I don’t know if it is the right word in english. I mean, the name that is directly used in the permalink).
… and issues appeared!

ok, that will help me find the error – can you tell me what you changed and how eg I went into dashboard>xx>yy and changed aa to bb

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Suspect this is a theme issue

Can you switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve for a moment to see if that fixes. If so come back and we can try and get your theme to work with bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, you’ll need to add the following to your functions file

//this function removes the "this topic contains..." and "this forum contains..."  text
function no_description ($retstr) {
$retstr="" ;
return $retstr ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'no_description' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'no_description' ) ;

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.' ) {
	$translated_text = '';
	}
	if ( $translated_text == 'Oh bother! No topics were found here!' ) {
	$translated_text = '';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Apologies but I’m being stupid, but can you explain or give an example of what you mean by bbp-template-notice info ?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Strange the things you don’t put in your testing – a top level forum was one I didn’t test! 🙂

I’ve now worked a fix for this, but before I release it, I just want to check back on the search issue.

Search should hide both ‘private group’ topics and replies from search results as though they don’t exist, and this works in my test site.

Can you confirm that this is still an issue? and which version of the plugin you are using?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, thanks, I’ll take a look.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

can you let me know what your settings are

Dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>

forum visibility settings
general settings

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I found this code in my files, try this

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bbpress_topic_scheduler');

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');

function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
 wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'bbpress_daily_event');
}

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
	// Auto close old topics
	$topics_query = array(
		'author' => 0,
		'show_stickies' => false,

			bbp_the_topic();

			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
		}
}
?>

change the -10 days to whatever you want

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Sorry, 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
