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 12 years 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 );

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years 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 12 years 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 12 years ago]

ok, thanks, I’ll take a look.

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

can you let me know what your settings are

Dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>

forum visibility settings
general settings

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years 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,
		'parent_forum' => 'any',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1
	);
	if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
		while( bbp_topics() ) {
			bbp_the_topic();
			$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
			$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
			if ($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 12 years 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

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

where are you trying to ‘display the topics that the user created (the logged in user)’??

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

did the code work?

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

I think if you really want a feature paying £3 for it is really not asking that much!

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

this is a widget logic problem, but try

!is_page(‘page_name’) || (is_single() && !is_bbpress())

if not, then try the support page, but is not well responded to

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-logic

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

I know nothing of buddypress, maybe try posting onto their support site

https://buddypress.org/support/

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

it is very doubtful if any legacy plugins would work.

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

no, I’m stuck on the javascript part – can’t work out why it’s not kicking in !

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

Have you run the repair forums?

Dashboard>tools>repair forums. Run them all, but only one at a time !!

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

ok, have you tried either of the options in the following

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

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

Great – I am really pleased that you persisted and got to a cause, and hopefully shortly a permanent fix.

And thanks for posting back the answer here 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

can you say which widgets, and are they not appearing at all? Are any widgets appearing on that page – is the sidebar appearing?

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

Great, I’m glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

Interesting that without the private groups it didn’t work as expected, and with the private groups it also doesn’t work as expected.

Maybe be worth investigating the theme and other plugins to see if they are causing an issue.

so with private groups deactivated

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 12 years ago]

Thanks, Stephen ! 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

As you describe you should have

Private forums – readable only by logged in users with participant role (ie members)
Hidden forums – readable only by moderators/keymasters

Your issue is that logged in user cannot see the private forums.

At a quick guess I’d suggest that your users need roles assigned – having re-read my documentation this isn’t at all clear – I’m off to tidy that bit!

In dashboard>users>edit user you’ll find forum roles at the bottom of each user’s details

Anyway that’s my guess, come back if I guessed wrong !

You could also use

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups if you don’t want to give your ‘officers’ back end access

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !
