Have you tried
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
In essence you need a .php from your theme that has a sidebar, and rename this bbpress.php within the root of your theme.
bit tied up at the moment, but have you referred it to suffusion, they should be able to give you removal instructions.
do you mean dashboard>appearance>edit css ?
If so, then this is a feature of your particular theme and not common.
If you mean elsewhere, come back.
hmmm… presume you’re not running any caching plugins?
I suspect that your plugin is trying to restrict who can see what.
The function that replies uses to do this, if not correctly filtered, only shows the replies not the original topic.
In essence the plugin needs to do a sub wp-query within the replies function to include both topicss and replies.
I can’t help further as I don’t know what functions the plugin uses.
ok I would suspect that it’s related to this plugin, you could prove this by deactivating the plugin on your test site (or live site briefly if you don’t have a test site)
As this is a paid plugin, you should then contact them for support.
come back and let us know what they say.
‘I am using bbpress forum for Members Only’
do you mean
Add bbPress Members Only Forums to Your WordPress Membership Site
or another plugin?
‘did you actually do the functions 1 & 2? means ???’ sorry I meant had you done the checks, but on a re-read yes you have !
presume you mean the topic form?
If so, then
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
and look for the templates that deal with forms, starting with form-topic.php
Basically in the root of your theme/child-theme, create a directory called bbpress ie
wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/bbpress
and copy across any templates you wish to alter. bbPress will then use them instead.
you’ll also find some js scripts in the default folders.
this looks like more of a buddypress issue, as bbPress doesn’t have messages, or do you have a plugin, in which case it’s that 🙂
sorry, but did you actually do the functions 1 & 2?
Since reinstalling (which would add those files back if missing) has not fixed, we have to presume that those files are there (have you looked?), and that something is preventing access, hense try the pugins and themes.
If you have trued, but with no success, come back
ok, lets work out where the problem lies.
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.
then come back
additionally or alternately you might see a bbpress.php file in there ie
/home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic/bbpress.php
If so, again copy this to your pc, and then delete it on the server.
Ok, so suffusion has added some specific files in your theme, which bbPress is now using NOT changed your forum entries.
So I think all you need to do is go into
to /home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic and you should see a bbpress folder
ie
/home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic/bbpress
copy these files to your pc as a backup, and then just delete this folder. bbPress will revert to using the default ones, and you should be working.
For individual users, they can subscribe to individual posts or to individual forums.
For admin, I use bbpress notify plugin, although you can use this for everyone as well, but lots of email messages can annoy some users, so I only use for moderators and above.
The problem here is that you want automatic registration, but a private forum, ie only people who are authorised can automatically join. Yes?
On-going, I presume that you’ll only have a few course participants joining at any time time, so a manual process would be quite easy. I do all mine manually, and it takes me less than one minute to add a user to my forum.
I can only suggest you look at some membership plugins to see if these can help.
Did you move the bbpress files, or install bbpress?
If you have not changed the bbpress files in your old site, then I’d deactivate the bbpress plugin and then delete it, and then re-install from the web.
You plugin authors may need to make some changes.
Suggest you post onto the plugin support are viz:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools
where abouts are they ‘logging out’ – from the toolbar, from a widget or from where
Have made a note to come back to this !
just had a quick look, can’t see why it would work for topics but not replies.
what is the url resolving to at the top of the screen?
maybe try
either
$uri = ( ‘/?edit=1’ );
or
$uri = bbp_get_reply_edit_url( $r[‘id’] ) .’?edit=1′ ;
have you been through the step by step guides in
Codex
basically you’d need to cut some code to display the date/time, put it in a function that echo’s it, and then hook it to the following action
add_action (‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘your_function’) ;
see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4
sorry am up to my armpits in other code, or I’d cut it for you !
