Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, 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, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

So do you want the image of the man eating to go before the Fuel Message Board title?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

yes, lots to get into !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

for admin see

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-wordpress-admin-bar-for-all-users-except-administrators/

toolbar is a wordpress level function, not bbpress so it depends on what wordpress level you have your moderators set to.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

If it’s just where it says forums, then the same code should work, it just needs a different function name – each function needs to be unique so

function change_translate_text2( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Forums' ) {
	$translated_text = 'whatever-new-word-you-want';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text2', 20 );

If you want to change it in url’s and breadcrumbs, then

dashboard>settings>forums and change the forum root slug

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

I start by looking at the ‘loop’ files – loop-replies.php looks likely

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

sorry I wasn’t being clear.

but you answer does throw up a fix, you can take out the display of that out either by changing the “show forum prefix” in settings>forums, or changing what is displayed :

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

On you original Q :

1. Do you still have this problem if you try that change
2. are you getting the ‘cheating’ problem anywhere else

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

thanks. So are you back to the forums/forum and only getting this problem each time you try and change that field? In other words that’s the only time you’re getting it?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Nice site – loved the home page !

Ok, yes you should get a login – I’m presuming you’re using the (bbpress) Login widget?

and what/how have you done your sidebar to make it forum specific?

[edit] and when you say they, which other ones aren’t showing?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

@jesseaaron

Original poster got this as a result og “I just installed bbPress on my site. I wanted to change the setting from disallow editing after 5 minutes to 10 minutes but when I click save changes I get a “Cheatin’ uh?” Page”

Can you explain what you were doing, and if you did as per @lkicknosway
and logged out and back in again !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

are you logged on when you get this result?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

You restrict users from going to the backend, by

Daashboard>users> select user

and unchecking

“show toolbar when visiting site”

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using a caching plugin/tool?

If so, some are apparently better than others, maybe try a different one.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Can only suggest you start with eliminating plugin and theme conflicts viz :

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, 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

Whilst you on a “clean” child theme, the main theme may have issues.

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

I don’t know the answer, but am intrigued as to why you would want comments on say a forum index?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

no official one, but plenty if you google

Also check out the documentation

Codex

including the layout and functionality examples

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Sorry, but there is no short code to display topics by user

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

add this to your functions file

function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Freshness' ) {
	$translated_text = 'whatever-new-word-you-want';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

No, there isn’t one I can work out, just tried it and failed ! Would have been neat if it worked, but it didn’t.

so we’re back to square 1

Now if you use forums for interaction, and posts for information, then this becomes an easy solution

Admins create posts in categories, so you get a flow for instance
Exams
Classes
Math
Economics

These categories are then set in the menu structure, so they look cascade as you need them to.

So admins can create and edits these pseudo topics and you turn off comments to prevent replies. You can the use the content permissions from the forum setup bit below (it’s a plugin you’ll be adding) to limit access to registered users only (and indeed which – you can have a group to access say math and another to access say economics and a third group who can access both).

Then you use forums for admins and tutors

These can be separate forums ie some for admins which tutors don’t see, and some where both can interact – see http://www.rewweb.co.uk/creating-bbpress-groups/ for how to do this.

Sorry I can’t get a neater solution !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

ok, no equivalent way to the sticky but if you

look at the date/time of the topic
look at the date/time of the first reply

then

Dashboard>replies and select the reply you want to appear directly under the topic, and select edit.
On the bottom right hand side you’ll see ‘publish’ together with a “published on ” date, change that to be a date/time after the topic, but before the current first reply, ie date/time wise it become the first reply.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

ok, thanks – let me have a think – the number and frequency are to let me see if a more “manual” solution would work.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

you can make the topic “sticky” or even “super-sticky”

you will see the option “stick to front” beside the date if you have permission to do this, or you can go into Dashboard>topics and select the topic. in the top right meta box you’ll see ‘topic attributes’ and you can change that form normal to sticky or super sticky

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

‘ I’m German, so please be patient’ no problem 🙂

If I understand, you want

Some forums – to be visible and accessible by both registered and guests
Some forums – just forum titles of all forums to be visible to everyone, and when clicked to get a “you must be logged in…” and logged in users to be able to see and access these forums.

Is this correct?

A coupe of questions please :

1. How many forums are you envisaging will be restricted?
2. Will new forums be added regularly?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

There is one, but I need to document it, as it’s a bit of a cobble together of two plugins.

I’ll do that shortly, and give it a final test to prove it works !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

That coffee always helps !

Glad you’re fixed !
