    I think you need to seriously consider taking some anger management classes.

    bbPress is free, it costs you nothing, is developed and maintained by a bunch of nice guys who do this for free, and is supported on this site by more nice guys who again do it for free.

    If you cared to read to documentation instead of just hurling abuse at us, you’d find fixes or tools that would let you alter what you are complaining about for instance the inline list is discussed in

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use


    and turning off the counts in

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    Because bbPress is flexible and all of what is displayed can be altered with either a little php or in many cases a plugin.

    However in your case I’d simply suggest that you find different forum software and annoy someone else, rather than whinging on this support forum.

    What line did you alter in which capabilities php file?
    and what did you alter it to?

    ok, without me spending hours digging into this, let’s see if we can sort it.

    and yes you can cut the code into a functions file by renaming it, but we’ll fix that later.

    For the moment, where are you registering the new sidebar? In a main theme for a child theme?

    If in a child theme, they won’t register as sidebars have already been loaded. So you need to unload and reload them all in one go (no idea why, it’s just what I learnt when I tried to add a sidebar in my child theme.)

    so what my child theme functions file starts with is

    remove_action( 'widgets_init', 'twentyten_widgets_init' ); //necessary to replace parent theme's code which is a twentyten theme
    function twentytenchild_widgets_init() {
    	// Area 1, located at the top of the sidebar.
    	register_sidebar( array(
    		'name' => __( 'Primary Widget Area', 'twentytenchild' ),
    		'id' => 'primary-widget-area',
    		'description' => __( 'The primary widget area', 'twentytenchild' ),
    		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
    		'after_widget' => '</li>',
    		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
    		'after_title' => '</h3>',
    	) );

    so it starts by removing the twentyten sidebar’s and then adds them straight back – my child theme for the twentyten main theme is excitingly called “twentytenchild”!. I have just shown the first widget from the parent theme, all are just copied from the parent theme. Several others follow
    Then on the end you add your new sidebar.

    Then after that you complete and register them viz :

    	//** Register sidebars by running twentyten_widgets_init() on the widgets_init hook. */
    add_action( 'widgets_init', 'twentytenchild_widgets_init' );
    

    by the by in your after title you need to change the a/ to /a

    Give that a go, and come back if it works, and we’ll then talk about taking the widget into a custom one.

    ok,

    can you tell me

    1. I notice the initial urls’ of the page are

    http://thirdscribe.com/cafe-forums/#.Uyv4gJVF21s

    what is the end bit – caching software?

    2. Presume your menu is custom – what page does the “cafĂ©” in the menu takes you to? or what link it is.

    3. I presume http://thirdscribe.com/cafe-forums is the wp-page you want everything to link to

    4. What are the various slug roots set to? dashboard>settings>forums> ‘forum root slug’, ‘prefix’, and ‘forum root should show’

    5. what theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    since bbPress uses custom post types, it looks very likely that you have a conflict.

    Have you tried the pods support site?

    so when you are doing all this testing, has the w3 cache plugin been deactivated? and have you then cleared your browser?

    As SE says working on say twentythirteen with just bbPress as a plugin works, so if this is not working for you, then you will need to look to your host provider for help.

    @stansween
    – confirm this fixes the issue for you?

    4. Nothing has changed on the site except i installed some plugins i needed.

    which of the plugins have you installed in the last 10 days?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    “2. this is an old installation, few days back it was working fine from 10 days back i am getting this error in Dashboard>replies.

    3. This error is always been there.”

    Sorry but can you confirm that it was working, but started to produce the error 10 days ago – answers 2&3 seem to contradict.

    Good question !

    I’ll take a look after the weekend if I get a moment !

    In reply to: Delete Topic Function

    @robin-w

    there are two capabilities within bbpress roles

    ‘delete_topics’
    ‘delete_others_topics’

    Looks like the plugin is changing the wrong one.

    I presume it is the participant role that you like delete topic on ?

    If so, please come back and confirm, and I’ll cut a quick filter for you after the weekend if you know how to add some code to your functions file.

    @robin-w

    if it worked before, then something has changed.

    If you want to stop it using the template then create a ‘bbpress’ folder in the root of your theme, and copy

    wp-content/pluigins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php across to this new folder.

    The edit to remove the code that displays this – lines 47 to 55 have an if(keymaster) statement that display this info

    Ok, so if I understand you problem correctly, what you’d like is the main forum page to show is

    1.
    Category
    Forum
    Subforum
    forum
    subforum

    The subforums are not currently showing?

    and

    2. for each to have a description?

    you are trying to achieve this by using a wordpress page and shortcodes.

    What confuses me is that you give a link to the page you want to use – if this is a real page, then what is preventing you form using it?

    Sorry if I’m not understanding you correctly

    In reply to: Topics wont show up

    @robin-w

    ok, lets see if it is a conflict problem

    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, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    Mark,

    sorry I’m not a buddypress guy – was hoping that buddypress would get you to an answer!

    In reply to: Activity Stream

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Presuming it is buddypress you are using, then your question would be better on their support site.

    I don’t have buddypress experience.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    yes, but you do need to

    a) show some patience – we are all volunteers here and have lives outside of bbPress
    b) answer fully questions asked – these are not random or standard, they are specific to your problem. All are asked for a reason.

    To help me to help you, I need information to get to a problem definition, and from there to a solution.

    Please respond to each question below

    1. I now understand your problem as follows :
    bbPress is fully working, except that when you go into Dashboard>replies you get an internal server error.
    Is this correct? If not precisely when/how do you get the error
    2. Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
    3. Has this error always been there, or has it appeared?
    4. What else has changed on the site
    5. What other plugins are your running?
    6. Are you running any caching software?
    7. can you confirm that with ALL plugins except bbPress AND a default theme such as twentytwlelve installed you still get this error? and which default theme you used.

    Thanks

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    bbpress only works on wordpress, so no your can’t directly run it on Magento, so yes a link would do it.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Ok, I am also confused !

    If http://www.techgreet.com/ is your site, it seems to be working fine on the client side, I can access and see the forums.

    So for the server error – when exactly do you receive this error?
    Are there particular actions that you take to create this?
    Have you contacted your server administrator, and what did they say?

    for the tab error – I presume this is in the dashboard?
    Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
    What else has changed
    What other plugins are your running?

    It may be a plugin or theme conflict – not sure whether you tried deactivating all plugins except bbPress viz

    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, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    The way the forum looks will depend on both how your theme is set up, as well as styling changes within bbpress.

    There’s not a fantastic amount of styling in this forum, basically it’s just a theme with a left hand sidebar, with some standard widgets in it and a couple of special ones.

    Can you help us to define your problem.

    when you talk about the “group forums” and the “general forums” do you mean ones set up using buddypress, or how have these been set up?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I’d try and eliminate any conflicts

    Deactivate any other plugins and see if a disappeared topic reappears. If so, re-enable the plugins one at a time to see which is causing the issue.

    If that doesn’t help, then try switching to a default theme such as twenty twelve and see if it’s a theme issue.

    Come back and let us know how you get on
