    go into Dashboard>forums

    For each forum, you can set it as category, forum or forum with a parent – see top right of the edit page

    So filo directo… and Prodotti… would be categories

    Richieste… would then be a forum

    The approach should be to get to a ‘clean’ site – ie one that works, and then add back theme, and then plugins until you find which is conflicting with bbPress.

    Some plugins and themes delete database stuff when they are deleted, but many/most just leave it behind, so deactivating should do it.

    If you have a local dev, then I’d deactivate ALL plugins, and change to a default theme.

    Then test if this works. if it does then you have a good start point.

    Then add bbPress and see if this produces an issue.

    a) If it does, then come back with what theme, and confirm versions of bbpress, wordpress and theme and exactly what you are doing to test – ie user set to… go into… select…. and I’ll try to replicate.

    or

    b) If your base version above works, then add theme next. Don’t worry about the extend plugin, as you’re seeing if the issue is with a post, not bbPress !

    Then add extend and re-test

    Then each plugin and retest

    ‘I might be missing something, but if deactivating the bbPress plugin solves the problem, the bbPress plugin is probably causing it.’

    Depends how you define ’cause’

    bbPress is tested against the default themes (twentyten, twentyeleven etc.) and latest versions of wordpress, and should be fully functional against that.

    Since bbPress is just a plugin, it ranks equally alongside all other plugins and all non core themes. All of these have the capability to conflict with each other as theme and plugin authors use tweaks and add-ons to WordPress. The ability for two authors of plugins/themes to try to change an element is actually quite large, and changes can have unexpected results.

    So if two authors both make a change and one overwrites the other, both can argue it is the other’s fault.

    So I cannot get bbPress with a default theme to have your issue for authors or above.

    If without any other plugins, and using a default theme, you get this issue, then please come back with what levels of access and I’ll look further.

    Great – glad you’re fixed !

    @robin-w

    Just looked at your site, presume your now fixed? and what was it?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    That shouldn’t happen – what other plugins do you have installed?

    @robin-w

    Hey you’re very welcome, and great to know that the hours spent typing in the documentation are worthwhile 🙂

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    depends on your view, and to a large extent what theme you’re using 🙂

    You can view the forum as light and customisable, or choose one that has loads of presets but not easily changeable.

    Anyway I hope you are either able to stick with bbPress or find a you you like.

    And remember it’s free, so if you think it’s crap, it’s free crap, so you can’t really complain !

    yes that is the default – see

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    to change it

    I think this is a known issue with a resolution – see the last post in this thread

    https://wishlistproducts.zendesk.com/entries/457628-Integration-with-bbpress-

    Do come back if that doesn’t fix.

    You can just deactivate then delete the current plugin, and then upload the new one – no settings will be lost

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    then it’s probably a conflict with one of your 29 other plugins ! 🙂

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Suspect it is theme or plugin related!

    Normally I’d just post the standard text viz

    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.

    but with 29 plugins that could take you a while ! and it could even be a combination.

    Think I’d start with a quick theme change to eliminate that and then I suppose it depends on who needs access as non admin but able to add links as to whether you plough through and work out where it is failing.

    new version 1.5 with unlimited groups just added to website

    bbp Private Groups

    and will be uploaded to wordpress plugins in the next few days !

    @robin-w

    keep us updated, this is not my field of expertise, so can’t directly help you !

    @iclimb hopefully Nathan will share his solution with us.

    @pasquale-galasso

    Thanks, glad you are finding it useful. The unlimited groups version is on it’s way, I’ve coded it, but just need to tidy up the user interface.

    bbPress have said that they intend to have groups in the core product at some stage, but I have no idea on timescales.

    @vikr0001 – thanks for your comments.

    There are many ‘group’ and ‘member’ plugins for wordpress out there, and whilst they share some common features, many work in totally different ways, and to make my plugin work with any/all of these could be very difficult.

    Alongside this people use group and member plugins in different ways, so how you would like my plugin to work with groups may be different from how someone else would like to

    I can usually however make it so that my plugin doesn’t conflict – ie not cause any issues and can be used alongside.

    If my plugin is conflicting with ‘groups’ plugin, please let me know and I’ll take a look.

    If you want me to look at any further at compatibility, can you summarise what you would like my plugin to do with the groups plugin that it currently doesn’t, and I may take a look to see how easy that would be to do.

    Regards

    Robin

    The function is

    bbp_add_user_forum_subscription

    it is in

    bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

    you pass it user-id and forum_id

    @matoca

    I think you’ve had your forum for a while now? Presume you’ve not loaded a new plugin?

    Otherwise, can’t really suggest anything else.

    Hopefully someone better than me will pop in and suggest something ! 🙂

    Actually

    <p> <?php if (!is_user_logged_in()) echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
    

    would be a better line of code, as then someone logged in with a spectator role would not see the login prompt

    @robin-w

    If you want a quick solution to this

    create a directory within your theme called bbpress

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

    And into this folder copy the following file

    bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

    Then alter this file to have a new line 175 as follows

    <p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
    

    so that

    <div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
    		<div class="bbp-template-notice">
    			<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
    	</div>
    	</div>
    

    becomes

    <div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
    		<div class="bbp-template-notice">
    			<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
    		<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
    		</div>
    	</div>
    

    Save this file, and bbpress will use this and a login panel will be displayed.

    If my response in

    Why is BBPress not following css?

    does not solve it, please respond on that thread
