not sure what is happening, but try resetting the permalinks

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save changes.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Try :

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

ok, think we need to eliminate any other factors

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and private groups 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.

Come back and let me know !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Really glad that writing that part of the guide has worked for someone else – it was a real challenge to write !

Try changing the line

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_reply_link','jc_return_review' );

to

add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_topic_reply_link_parse_args','jc_return_review' );

This lets you change just one part of the function.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

good, I couldn’t fathom out why chnagingh a lsug would affect anything !

Ok, that’s strange, it works fine on my test site, and just uses the same core functionality as the main functions.

Not sure what to suggest next….let me have a think overnight !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

ok, this is not my strong area, but try making this as your bbpress.php page

<?php 

get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>
 
	<?php if ( is_bbpress() ) { ?>
 
		<header class="entry-header">
			<h1 class="entry-title"><?php single_post_title(); ?></h1>
			<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_byline', '<div class="entry-byline">' . __( 'Published by [entry-author] on [entry-published] [entry-comments-link before=" | "] [entry-edit-link before=" | "]', 'spine2' ) . '</div>' ); ?>
		</header><!-- .entry-header -->
 
		<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
 
			<?php the_content(); ?>
 
		<?php endwhile; ?>
 
 
		<footer class="entry-footer">
			<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_meta', '<div class="entry-meta">' . __( '[entry-terms before="Posted in " taxonomy="category"] [entry-terms before="| Tagged "]', 'spine2' ) . '</div>' ); ?>
		</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
 
	<?php } else { ?>
	<div id="content" class="hfeed">
 
		<?php get_template_part( 'loop-meta' ); // Loads the loop-meta.php template. ?>
 
		<?php get_template_part( 'loop' ); // Loads the loop.php template. ?>
 
		<?php get_template_part( 'loop-nav' ); // Loads the loop-nav.php template. ?>
 
	</div><!-- #content -->
 
<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

ok, so it is changing forum slugs that creates an issue for search – yes?

Is it key that you change the slug? – what are you trying to achieve by doing this?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Now we know ! 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

try adding ‘!important’ to the changes eg

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #222222 !important;
}

to ensure they are not overwritten by later loading

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

2011 should be fine with bbpress – perhaps it’s 2011 that’s corrupted?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I’d deactivate the plugin, then delete it.

Then add as new.

Sounds like it may be corrupted somewhere.

You won’t lose any forum data by doing so

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I can only suggest you hire someone to get rid of the spam and upgrade you

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Nothing to do with me !! Suspect just a refresh, although I am with you on the pale hover color 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Can you explain further what is happening/not happening, I am not clear what your issue is – in particular what you mean by non-members, and the word ‘now’ suggests a change in behaviour following a change you have made??

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

try taking out the three lines

<div class=”aside”>

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

</div>

That div class is probably creating a space for the sidebar

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

No problem, glad to help !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Hey thanks, glad its working for you !

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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?
