    Ok- life’s not perfect, and thanks for pointing out that clever posters can cheat the timeout.

    I’m not quite sure why this is a concern as such, except in heated debates when people may want to alter what they said. On those sorts of forums I find that mods soon close such subject down.

    As my mother said “I WANT – doesn’t get” – please ask nicely 🙂

    bbPress is written by volunteers and supported by volunteers, you get it for free !

    If a feature is requested enough, then the writers (who do this in their spare time and are not paid) will add it.

    If someone already knows how to do this, they will post in due course.

    Thanks 🙂

    If you’re into coding, then yes

    the widgets code is held in

    bbpress/includes/common/widegets.php

    you could customise these and create them as new custom widgets

    For instance the topics widget starts on line 669, and line 811 does bbp_topic_permalink( $topic_id )

    You could add an if statement to create two different outputs logged in vs not logged in and alter not logged in to topic title.

    Not something I have time to do, but would be fun if you have the time

    Bumping you own question may be not helping you in getting an answer 🙂

    There is a fairly small group of people who help on here, and many use the “topics with no replies” button when logging in, so by entering a reply you take yourself off this list, so you don’t get your question seen.

    Also you should allow at least a couple of days, as all the helpers on here are volunteers and like the developers of the plugin, no-one is paid to do this, and all have real jobs and family that take priority.

    Please keep asking questions, but please have a little more patience 🙂

    As to the answer – this looks complicated, and even with the old version, the solutions weren’t easy.

    This plugin may be what you’re after, pippin is usually good, but have no experience of this plugin

    https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import

    give it a try, but backup your database first!

    Can you give me a link to the page in question, and I’ll take a look

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Ok, sorry yes I get it now !

    Try

    function hide_before ($args = array() ) {
    $args['before'] = '';
    return $args;
    }
    add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args','hide_before') ;
    

    Let me know if it works – it is blank by default, so not sure why your’s has a | in it.

    This is related to the plugin/theme your are using that displays “click to receive”.

    Which one are you using ?

    The issue is not so much the export/import of the forums/topics and replies

    This is available in

    Dashboard>tools>export and just select what you want to export. The opposite import to get them in.

    However if you don’t have the users on the new site, then they cannot be allocated against them. Can’t remember what it does, I think it just allocates them to admin, maybe with an offer of a choice.

    there are several plugins that let you move users for instance
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-user-data/
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-users-from-csv/

    If your into phpmyadmin, you could just move the user tables, but of course that’ll overwrite the new sites, but if they’re just copies, that will be fine.

    Back everything up before so you can revert if needbe !

    I haven’t directly played with doing this, but suggest you move your users first, the just move the forums, topics and replies

    Once again, you’re welcome, but keep the thankyou’s coming, it’s good to know that efforts are appreciated !! 🙂

    I have no connection with Securi, they are a commercial company, and you will need to use your judgement.

    I also have no connection with BBpress other than being a volunteer moderator of this site.

    BBpress works well with many themes and plugins, but compatibility with all is by no means guaranteed.

    you need to alter the css for

    “bbp-topic-thumbnail”

    it needs float: left;

    added to make the text come to the right.

    If you don’t know how to do that – come back

    There are many, many, requests for the topics and replies widgets to show things slightly differently, and most contradict each other.

    One day I’ll make a list and see how many can be easily done, and could retire if I charged $5 per solution !

    @robin-w

    This is doable with some code, but obviously no-one has thought it critical enough to code it – sorry !

    Aaron,

    Hmmm… 🙂

    How many accounts are we talking about?

    How are users going to re-register?

    If auto the system won’t let you have two usernames the same, so you’d need to change your existing usernames to say have a character in front eg x_john smith (sql loop through user database would do that). Then brief your users to register with their existing username eg just john smith.

    The as before, once they have registred (you get an email to say that each one has), you could run a process to convert.

    You could do this as they register – a loop to go through wp_posts looking for old author ID and replace with new author ID, or you could automate and run daily/weekly to say go through wp_users and create an array of usernames without the x_ (that would be users who have re-registred) . Then go through that array and pick up the old id’s. You then have a conversion list 9new id vs old ID, and can run that through wp_posts.

    None of this is pretty, but all quite do-able.

    You could write a registration process that lets them re-use the username, and then automatically change the ID in WP-posts, but that would be kinda dangerous, as I could register as you, and get all your posts allocated to me.

    The real solution if you don’t have tons of users is to go for a manual registration process, you can of course let then use the same username, as you can then generate a user with a php programme straight into the database.

    Nothing pretty or easy !

    But a solution is there somewhere !

    No problem, I often spend hours looking for the obscure, only to find it’s a simple solution !

    This warning is contained in three templates all in
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/tempates/default/bbpress/

    form-forum.php
    form-reply.php
    form-topic.php

    You can create a folder in the root of your theme called ‘bbpress’ and copy these three themes to it, and then alter this text to read whatever you like, or remove it.

    Or you could add the following code to your functions file

    //This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
    function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
    	if ( $translated_text == 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML' ) {
    	$translated_text = 'new text';
    	}
    	return $translated_text;
    }
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
    

    Just make ‘new text’ whatever you want.

    or you could probably get you function to do something, but I don’t offhand know what you’d need to do.

    Looks like it’s wider than just bbpress from this post.

    http://evidentiasoftware.com/forums/topic/object-stores-not-found/

    Have you added/upgraded any software lately?

    Ok, first I’d check plugins and theme to discount these.

    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.

    come back if that doesn’t pinpoint your problem.
