In reply to: Cannot create Topics
what theme are you using – try switching to a default one eg twentytwelve and see if the issue is theme related.
Has topics stopped working, or has never worked, or is this a new install?
In reply to: Widgets and Side Bar not showing in Forumok, plan b
upload the “widget logic” plugin
This lets you set widgets to appear in certain conditions
Once uploaded, using your normal sidebar, you can set when a widget appears
You’ll see a new box appear when you add/edit each widget saying “widget logic”. if you want it to appear on a forum page type
is_bbpress()
If you want the widget to appear on other pages, but not obn the forum page type!is_bbpress()
so you login widget would have the logicis_bbpress()
and appear only on forum pagesIf you didn’t want search on the forum page, you’d put
!is_bbpress()
on that widget and it will not appearIn reply to: Forum PageThe forum – http://massagepracticebuilder.com/forums/forum/diy-websites/
shows as a forum with no topics. Create topics there and it should all work.
The path is basically forums/forum/diy-websites
/forums – ie we are in the forums area
/forum – we are in the forum list area
/diy-websites – this is the diy website forumyou’ll get /topic when you post a topic.
In reply to: Guide of BbPress in French🙂
In reply to: Forum Tab does not show anywhere on the dashboardok, I have 2.5.1 bbpress working with WP 3.8 on a twentyten child.
I suggest that each of you :
Disables all of your plugins. If that fixes, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue
If disabling plugins doesn’t work, then with them disabled, switch to a default theme – twentyten, twenty eleven or twentytwelve. If that works, then your theme has an issue
If any/none of that works, comes back and say exactly what you did
If you get a fix, let us know what was causing it to help othersIn reply to: Guide of BbPress in FrenchThanks for that – I’ll post a link to it in the bbpress documentation
In reply to: Password Protect Each ForumAre your users “registered” ?
If so you can just make the forums “hidden”
In reply to: Forum Tab does not show anywhere on the dashboardYou should have a forums tab above appearance, and forums in the settings tab.
I’d un-install and re-install
In reply to: Widgets and Side Bar not showing in ForumAs far as I can see it all looks ok. Presume you have permalinks and that the forum slugs set as directed.
If so try this – sometikes the bbpress sidebar doesn’t quite get there.
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivateGo into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgetsAnd look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebarIf this works, come back and let me know
In reply to: Hide Sidebaryou can use ‘widget logic’ plugin to control what is shown in sidebars. for bbpress the logic is
is_bbpress()to display and
!is_bbpress()to hideor if you want a forum specific sidebar use ‘bbpress WP’ tweaks plugin.
Profile images use the gravatar image see http://en.gravatar.com/ for details
In reply to: layout changesmake the forum hidden, then only registered users can see it.
In reply to: Forum PageThanks for posting, I tried your website a couple of days ago, and it was hanging, so have only just been able to get on and see what you’re seeing.
I’d suggest you disable all your plugins and try again. The site should work, but it might be a plugin conflict.
if that works, add back the plugins one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Otherwise come back and let us know
In reply to: Remove "Written by" and datehorses for course – wish you well
In reply to: User profile link, only show username.ok, I’ve cut justsayno1’s code into a plugin, which you can download from here
This will then override any user choice, and enforce only username as the display
Download this to your PC, and then using dashboard>plugins>add new and select upload files and upload the zipped file to your site
Let me know what works and doesn’t
Three things :
1. As justsayno1 says – the avatar will display the “display name” as the “alt” choice.
2. The profile page still appears to have the “display name”
3. I haven’t yet worked out how to take out the user choice to edit what is displayed, even though of course that is now redundant ie doesn’t work
@Mr-B – give it a go and let me know what works and what doesn’t – I basically just nicked Justsayno’s code.
@Justsayno1 on No. 1 above, can you point me to where the get-avatar function is in main wordpress (the file name would be great) and I’ll amend and cut that code into the plugin as well
@Justsayno1 on No.s 2 & 3 – have you fixed these, and if so can you point me to the solutions, and again I’ll add then to the plugin.In reply to: Remove "Written by" and dateCan you give us an example of where “written by” and which date you want removed ?
In reply to: User profile link, only show username.Mr-B,
If I get a moment in the next few days, I’ll fork all that code into a plugin for you/others.
In reply to: Forum PageIf you page’s URL is “xx/forums” and the forum slug is “forum” it won’t appear without the shortcode as they don’t match (one plural, one singular). Also if you add any text to the page (as you have done) then again you’ll need the shortcode. But it should work with the shortcode.
Can you confirm that the site currently has
[bbp-forum-index]at the bottom, including the square brackets.
loop-single-reply is the template that displays posts and replies
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
copy this to a bbpress directory in your theme (see codex for how to do this if needed), and then you should be able to put a “logged in” condition around whatever you want in this. For instance
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>to make that bit conditional
Great, and thanks for posting the solution, it’ll help other people picking up this issue in future !
No problems, it was beginning to annoy me as well !
In reply to: My groups forums onlyYou should set the forums to hidden, then it should work – let me know. I don’t run a set up like this, so am only going by documentation.
Ok, I’m still struggling because what you describe is not what I see as you have the “DONOTWANTTHISTOBEWHATTHELINKPOINTSTO” still set, so I am not seeing your exact problem.
You should be able to
1. set the forum root to “forums”
2. set permalinks to postname in settings
3. set the “forum” page permalink to http://mysite.com/forums
4. Put the shortcode on that pageand then you can change the actual “forum” page to whatever title you like and as long, and it should all work – mine is set up exactly that way and works.
You could try disabling seo yoast to eliminate that as a problem.
what other plugins are you running?
In reply to: Disable Search Box on Forum Index Page?when did that appear !?
In reply to: Theming the Recent Replies WidgetIt is in the widgets.php file
located at
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php
start at line 1064
you should be able to find the time in there somewhere
NOTE : this file will be overwritten by bbPress updates. You might do better to fork the code into your own plugin to prevent overwrites.
I think (but am not sure) the styling comes from other wordpres & bbPress elements and has no direct bbpress.css elements
In reply to: Forum Custom Permissionsquestions
1. Does it work apart from this?
2. Exactly where are you seeing this forum list?
3. presume you are only seeing this list as an admin seeing everything? Do users restricted to one forum see only their forums?
