‘You can pass wp_query args into bb_has_topics(), but I can only only come up with code that shows topics from one forum – not multiple forums.’

I’m afraid I don’t have time at the moment to do lots of coding for others, but take a look at this plugin

bbp Private Groups

Look at includes/topics.php for how I did this for private groups – called pg_has_topics, it may give you some help – I used ‘post__in’ to create a list of topics to display

So you could do a coupe of loops to create this list and the pass that to the bbp_has_topics function.

‘post__in’ is realy, useful sometimes

if marked private, then your csv compare should pick that up !

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

ok, could be lots of things, presume you’ve referred back to your developer?

and presume this is a new installation of bbpress, so has never worked?

I’d start by trying :

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.

Great stuff !

It always amazes me how long I spend to produce so little code 🙂

Bet you learned a lot along the way though!

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

great !

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

@robkk

‘I would like the topic starter label throughout a topic , for whatever number pages it may have ‘

So Stephen’s advice is good then, follow his link and put the topic at the start of each page !

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

great -come back if you need to !

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

great – so you’re fixed ?

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

Sorry, yes I have been elsewhere.

Sorry I’m not good enough to know how to do this, hopefully someone will be along to help you – sorry !

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

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 11 years, 5 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 11 years, 5 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 11 years, 5 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 11 years, 5 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 11 years, 5 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 11 years, 5 months ago]

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

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

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 5 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.

“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 11 years, 5 months ago]

Great – glad you’re fixed !

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

I can if you give me a bit more detail 🙂

What are you trying to do?
