    then check for a plugin or theme conflict

    Check other plugins

    Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

    Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

    Check themes

    If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    viz

    https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ section 3, and which way is I set up?

    so are you doing this through

    Are you doing this through

    Dashboard>forums>new forum?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Is this not still the same issue as

    bbp-topic-index pagination URL fail if used on homepage

    In which case come back with the answers to my Q’s and I’ll try and help further

    Your theme is possibly key to this.

    Are you doing this through

    Dashboard>forums>new forum?

    and what role have you given yourself

    Dashboard>Users> edit user and select your username

    You’ll see at the bottom of the edit screen your bbpress role

    come back if I can help further

    You may well be right, and posting in both is a good policy – as long as you copy any good answers across so that people know a) that it’s been sorted and b) what the answer is !

    JJJ, totally agree, but until someone writes one, this is a quick and dirty method to achieve it !

    (and for me to get rid of that horrible “keymaster” name !)

    ps, if you want a count any combination of topics, replies or total posts under the role, then this plugin does that ! Gives a sort of rank.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

    I might expand it to give ranks one day !

    ok, just tested and this code seems to work

    function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
     $bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
    'name' => 'name 1',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
    
    );
     $bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
    'name' => 'name 2',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
    
    );
    
     $bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
    'name' => 'name 3',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
    
    );
    
    return $bbp_roles;
     }
     add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

    So this adds 3 roles, you/your experts can duplicate the code and add more or remove unnecessary.

    Basically you’ll just need to

    1. tell the what to put as the names – currently the new roles are name 1, Name2 and name 3 (where it says ‘name’ => ‘name 1’ , so they’ll just overwrite that with what you want.

    2. for each what capability. You’ll see the first two have the code bbp_get_participant_role() so that sets them to participant and the last sets to keymaster using bbp_get_keymaster_role() . You can guess that you just change the words for other roles such as spectator, or moderator.

    They need to add this to your theme’s functions file.

    please come back if any of this is not clear

    I don’t like giving no answers so in between I have a little look, and found an answer from someone else on your second question ie adding roles with existing capabilities.

    I just need to test it, and I’ll be back.

    in the meantime if I said “add this code to your functions file” would you know what I mean?

    ‘So the pagination works fine on a standalone page, but if you embed it on your wordpress homepage, itโ€™d fail. ‘

    Is this a statement or a question?

    What theme are you using?

    and can you respond to previous questions

    Where have you put the shortcode? on the homepage, on a page or on a post?

    and where would you like the shortcode to go on the homepage, on a page or on a post?

    I’ll then try to help you further.

    With current bbPress neither is possible as far as I know !

    I take out roles from the display, I hate being a “keymaster” and think “participant” sounds a bit low.

    @robin-w

    offhand I’d say yes, more likely buddypress, try the support forums there and come back if needed.

    You should give them the wordpress, bbpress and buddypress versions, any plugins you have and what theme you are using

    https://buddypress.org/support/

    Looks like you’ve done the research – I have added your comments to the tracticket

    https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2175

    and we’ll see if the experts reckon that’s the fix and put it in the next release

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Not quite sure what you’re asking

    Where have you put the shortcode? on the homepage, on a page or on a post?

    and where would you like the shortcode to go on the homepage, on a page or on a post?

    I think you have got some display issues

    under IE, Firefox and Chrome (haven’t tested others) at 100% the submit buttons disappears. At 75% you see it. Do a zoom in and out to see the effect.

    Fix that and the checkbox will probably appear !

    Do you want :

    just the latest reply (or topic is no replies)
    The title or all the body?
    Do you want it in the body or in a sidebar?

    @robin-w

    I have been on your site 6 times, and seen the error twice. It comes and goes, so is unlikely to be pure code related, as that stuff either works or doesn’t.

    There seems to be a bit of buz about at the moment about a similar error, in particular for go-daddy customers

    eg

    http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/fatal-error-cannot-call-overloaded-function-fowp-includesuser-php-on-line-217

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1002?replies=14

    although both refer to a different line, and maybe entirely unrelated, but posted just in case.

    Let us know if this is you also?

    have you :

    Check other plugins

    Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

    Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

    Check themes

    If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    come back once you done those of you still have a problem

    No problem ๐Ÿ™‚

    @robin-w

    I’m only getting as far as the content and then the words “filed under” then it stops, no checkbox, no submit either !

    Do you get more than this?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    can you post a url, so that we can see what it looks like on a working page, and what it looks like on the forum page.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    the url reads

    http://domain.com/whatever-your-shortcode-page-is-called/page/2/

    So presume your page is called “topics”

    The code works – I’ve just retested it on twentyten site and pagination and subsequent pages were fine, so suggest you try

    Check other plugins

    Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

    Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

    Check themes

    If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    and then come back if you need further help.

    Just check that it is not plugin related first

    Check other plugins

    Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

    Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

    Then to confirm it is a theme problem..

    Check themes

    If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    Come back and let us know if you fixed, or for more help

    With several thousand people writing plugins and all in theory choosing unique names for things like functions and variables, it’s not surprising that things clash occasionally !

    Anyway – glad you’re fixed !
