@slprof

Try putting this in your functions file

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

I haven’t tested, so come back if it doesn’t work, it should do topic then replies with latest at top

bbpress should have no problems with any database prefix that wordpress accepts, it just rides on this

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

” I have a copy of the site running the same plugins but with WP3.8.2 and it’s OK.”

Exactly it may be another plugin that’s having a problem with 3.9 – it may not, but you need to eliminate

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

could be plugin or theme related

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, 4 months ago]

bbpress largely picks up on your wordpress theme, use any of thevdefault ones and you’ll get a great look.

I use twentyten very successfully.

and look at the set up guides

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

if you mean the bbpress shortcodes, they’re held in

includes/common/shortcodes.php

at the simplest just comment out line 109

ie change to

//add_shortcode( $code, $function );

bbpress upgrades will overwrite this, so keep a note to change again as bbpress upgrades are issued.

May well be a plugin or theme issue

Is this an existing installation that has gone wrong, or a new one that you are just uploading?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks for your patience – simple case of link to file missing.

I have now corrected the plugin.

can you deactivate, delete and then re- download from same link as before

bbp Private Groups

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

oops – sorry will take a look and be back shortly !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Try

#bbpress-forums  input[type='text'], textarea{ 
background : blue !important ; 
}

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Just spotted you post on the wordpress forum :

‘My theme (MH Magazine) has no bbPress template by default, so I copied my full-page-width template and renamed it plugin-bbpress.php. I’ve got the forums page set to this template’

If this is how you have it currently, then it is a sidebar template from your theme that you need, not a full width page one. With a siderbar theme, then wp-tweaks will pick this up and add the forum one to the page.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Ok, I’ve just finished a new plugin called

bbp Private Groups

This plugin adds private groups to the forums, allocating users to up to 8 groups, and combinations of forums to those groups, creating multiple closed forums.

download from

bbp Private Groups

Let me know what you think.

I’ll add this to the wordpress plugin repository in the next few days

Great, do come back if you have any further queries !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok,

so create a file called bbpress-functons.php as above and in to this put

<?php
//code to add tutor role 

function add_tutor_role( $bbp_roles )
{
	/* Add a role called tutor */
	$bbp_roles['bbp_tutor'] = array(
		'name' => 'Tutor',
		'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_tutor' )
		);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_tutor_role', 1 );

function tutor_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
	/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
	if( $role == 'bbp_tutor' )
		$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'tutor_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
	switch ( $role )
	{
		 
		/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
		case 'bbp_tutor':
			return array(
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,
				'moderate'              => false,
				'throttle'              => false,
				'view_trash'            => false,
 
				// Forum caps
				'publish_forums'        => false,
				'edit_forums'           => false,
				'edit_others_forums'    => false,
				'delete_forums'         => false,
				'delete_others_forums'  => false,
				'read_private_forums'   => true,
				'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,
				'edit_others_topics'    => false,
				'delete_topics'         => false,
				'delete_others_topics'  => false,
				'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,
				'edit_others_replies'   => false,
				'delete_replies'        => false,
				'delete_others_replies' => false,
				'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
				// Topic tag caps
				'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
				'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
				'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
				'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
			);
			break;
 
		default :
			return $role;
	}
}

This sets up a role called ‘tutor’ – just change this name everywhere to the one you want, and then edit the capabilities.

the default capabilities for each role are :

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

you’ll probably want to make delete topics and delete replies true

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

do you know how to add some code to your functions file – if I gave you the code?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

oh and sorry – see

for how to add this -several options.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

.bbp-remember-me {

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

@jbdizzle

great, so you’re fixed ?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

maybe a theme or plugin conflict

try

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, 4 months ago]

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.
