    @smileyriley21 did this do what you needed? latest version is at

    bbp Private Groups

    ok, you could just call each by their url

    or if you know the username you could call the form from within a page using the ‘insert php’ plugin

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/

    then

    [insert_php]
    $user_id = whatever you used to get the user-id
    $filelocation=”wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php”;
    include($_server[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].$filelocation);
    [/insert_php]

    You nee to get bbpress to use a full width page template

    This looks like it would be really useful to some people.

    Can you post the whole solution, inc. the javascript? so that people can just copy/paste and then amend.

    There should be no reason they won’t integrate.

    However the first thing you should do is create a test site see

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

    The you can do everything without any pain !

    From what you describe, if you really want to go to a separate route, then the simplest route is for you to have two domains the primary and a subdomain. On the subdomain you would install wordpress, and the same theme as your main site and then add bbpress, put the files in there. As you then say, you’d just call this subdomain from your main site.

    you will need to filter two functions

    1. bbp_get_forum_freshness_link

    2. You will need to amend the freshness function

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    I have no idea how into coding you are, so come back and let me know so that I can help you further

    How much php do you know
    do you know how to edit files
    do you know how to ftp

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

    would get you further than the members plugin

    With this you could have

    5 forums fully visible and useable
    by not setting any restriction on them

    1 forum set to restrict to say group 1 called ‘members’

    and

    all ‘members’ participant users of group 1 ‘members’
    all other users are just participants with no group set.

    Then set forum visibility

    All forum users would see that all 6 forums exist. They would also see all the topic listings, but if they clicked a topic, they would get a message (which you define, maybe sending them to say a sign up page).

    so it would make the forums and headings of topics visible, but not the content of topics.

    Best I can do without coding !

    Different access levels to different forums is not within the core product or my private groups plugin. I’m am struggling without some bespoke coding to think how you would achieve this.

    No that (apart from the fact that you did forum 2 twice!) is exactly what I expected to see.

    Now categories are areas where you group forums together, but categories have no topics inside them, they are just a “header” if you like.

    Forums have topics, and forums can also have sub forums again with topics.

    So I think for what you want, you should just have several forums (like forum 3) with no parents, then they will list straight away in your forum tab, and stop that extra click that you wanted rid of.

    Come back if that is not clear

    In reply to: Newby a little lost

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, I think you basically have forums and categories a bit mixed.

    Forums tend to belong to categories, rather than as you have, so I would get rid of the forum called “forums”

    Then change the ‘Category test’ category to have no parent

    Then set up a forum called forum 1, and put it’s parent as ‘category test’
    Then set up a forum called forum 2, and put it’s parent as ‘category test’
    Then set up a forum called forum 3, and put it’s parent as ‘none’

    You should now be able to click the menu and see category test with 2 forums belonging to it, and a 3rd forum that exists in it’s own right.

    Do you intent to have more than one forum, or just one forum with all topics in that?

    No, it is part of forum rules that we don’t get involved in access to individual sites.

    But if you come back with the info, then I’ll try to help further

    ok, I think your best bet is to start a fresh topic called something like “conversion from phpbb issues” and repeat the text of your first post.

    I would then hope that Stephen Edgar who is the conversion expert will pick this up.

    He’ll probably not spot this post as it now is quite long

    ok, though I suspect you have already done so, can you run ALL of the forum repair tools – although only one at a time !

    The come back and let us know if that fixed or not

    great – glad you’re fixed !

    ok so installation should show 9 months 4 weeks the post in General installation, not 4 years 5 months which belongs to prerequisites.

    Is this a conversion from another forum, or if not, when did this problem start to occur?

    In reply to: Templating Issue

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, the simplest way would be as follows

    In you theme create a directory called bbpress

    ie wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress

    The copy the following file into this

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

    so you end up with a file

    wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

    bbpress will now sue this file instead of the default one, so then edit this file to change line 68 from

    <span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
    

    to

    <span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php //bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
    

    If your theme is a child theme, then that will be fine. If it is a main theme, then just keep a note of this change, as you may have to repeat it on a theme update.

    can you post a url to your site, with an example of where this is happening?

    @demonboy reading through the thread above, I’m not sure what you think the issue is – it is unclear to me that a consistent issue is being stated in the threads above.

    Can you just restate what the behaviour you either want or don’t want by saying what happens now and what exactly you would like to happen.

    Thanks

    Do you want the username removed or repositioned?

    @nenno what theme and other plugins are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Usually this is a theme or plugin conflict.

    Try just bbpress on a twentytwelve theme, and if that works add theme and plugins until you find the conflict.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, I’ll get to work on it next week

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    yes, that’s what I am saying – it does take a minute or two to think about, – in effect it’s what you have at the moment, as the plugin ignores any group setting for moderators. The extra code would just allow a limitation for those who would like to limit moderators, whilst saving running unnecessary code for keymaster and moderators without forum restrictions.

    Anyway I’ll take a look at it, in the meantime you currently have a workable solution with the code mod to move.php.
