Ok, few thoughts

1. Is you intention to have a site with a forum page, or is the forum the whole site? This will determine the best way to get your users onto the forum, let me know and I’ll advise further
2. I don’t like giving users the dashboard – it takes away from look and feel of the site and shows them the backend. I disable the toolbar in users profile.
3. I don’t let my users auto register – unless you plan to have high levels of users it is better to let them manually resister. I have a simple form that they complete and gets auto emailed to me. I then set them up manually. If you forums are private, then you wouldn’t want anyone being able to auto access anyway would you?
4. you need to assign your topics to forums, and make those forums private for the participant role to then be able to see them

Your first “forum” is actually your home page – most people run forums as a sub to their main site -the site sort of thinks it is displaying

home>forums>Digital terrestrial

Interesting thread here

How do I edit bbPress breadcrumbs?

Which makes me think this plugin might be what you need to lose the “home” page bit in the breadcrumb.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

It that doesn’t work, come back and I’ll try to work out where in the plugin you put some code.

[Robin W]

Unfortunately can’t see your issue, as the page is coming up with just the shortcode

[Robin W]

I presume you are not the administrator of this site, so you’ll need to get the admin to give you privilege to access this area.

[Robin W]

can you post a link to the site/forum/page so that we can see what you are asking?

[Robin W]

Glad you’re sorted

[Robin W]

tried to sign up for an account so that I can see this, but the signup worked, but login didn’t. Maybe you need to authorise?

[Robin W]

Without spending too much time try

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php

is the likely file

Probably before or after line 24 if you want it at the top

Les us know if that works, as it’ll help people later one (and I might try it at some stage!)

[Robin W]

You’re very welcome !

Strangely this is quite difficult to achieve, as the url for a user profile edit is

http://mysite.com/forums/users/username/edit/

where the username is the actual username of the person logged in.

so you can’t add it as a menu item as far as I can work out.

2 solutions to this :

Solution 1 – the harder way !
One solution and the one I use is adding this as a line in the login widget, so that it appears under the “account” in your sidebar

I use the (bbpress) Login widget for the sidebar. This widget is set up in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

I added this line after line 145

line 145 reads
<?php bbp_logout_link(); ?>

and I add a new line 146 saying

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>
This then comes up when someone is logged in

Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versions

the advantage (and why I use it ) is it then only gives this line when someone is logged in

Solution 2 – the easier way

If you’re not keen to change code, the download the enhanced text widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/

Then in your sidebar add the enhanced text widget, and put this code in content, check the “don’t display header” and click save

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

Much easier to do, but displays whether someone is logged on or not.

Another plugin sounds possible – try disabling them one at a time and see if without one it works ok.

Otherwise, you could try adding this to your functions file

function pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe( $checked, $topic_subscribed  ) {

    if( $topic_subscribed == 0 )
        $topic_subscribed = true;

    return checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_topic_subscribed', 'pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe', 10, 2 );

That sets it to checked, so presumably if you changed line

$topic_subscribed = true;to

$topic_subscribed = false;

it should uncheck it

Give it a try

[Robin W]

ok, try this – I have culled it from varous other posts, in particular

Full-Width Forum

Don’t swear it will work, but give it a go

1. Create a page called “forums”,
2. make this page a full width page – if your theme doesn’t support this, then you’ll need to create a child theme and add a full page template.
3. Put this shortcode on the page [bbp-forum-index]
4. edit the following file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
by removing the left float from div.bbp-breadcrumb(line 405)
5. In your style.css add the following

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}
.bbp-forums {
width: 100%;
}

let us know if that works

[Robin W]

you could try

Anyone have Prev/Next Thread / Forum plugin?

[Robin W]

you can add this function to your functions.php

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

or this to your style.css

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}

Suggest you add the plugin

bbpress WP tweaks

and then use the

(bbpress) login widget

added to your sidebar.

[Robin W]

by default it is unchecked – is your site the other way round?

Yes, although I am not sure why.

I presume you mean checked by default?

[Robin W]

Resetting permalinks is easy. Just go into the dashboard>settings>permalinks and then just click save, this doesn’t change anything, but does a reset.

If that doesn’t work, come back with your url

[Robin W]

by default it is unchecked – is your site the other way round?

[Robin W]

In a word , yes.

Can you post your url so I can take a look

[Robin W]

What theme are you using? and can we see how it looks – give us your website address

[Robin W]

Nowadays (unless someone knows different) it is integrated into the WP dashboard

on the main dashboard you’ll see an area called “right now in forums” – if you look at the main dashboard you’ll see a panel called “right now” to then right of the menu’s. Follow this column of panels down and usually at the bottom there’s another panel that says “right now in forums” – you can rearrange these panels to bring this up or indeed to the top.

Apart from this, you have menu items of foums, topics and replies which you can use for admin

How to search a single forum with bbPress

[Robin W]

you seem to be working – are you now fixed, or can we help further

[Robin W]

you’ll need to disable the bbpress plugin

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

Just deactivate the bbpress plugin for starters.

then you’ll need to figure out why it isn’t working for you.

I’d start by uninstalling bbpress, and reinstalling it in case there was a corruption as it downloaded

Then if it still doesn’t work, I’d disable all the other plugins and if it then works add them back one at a time to see which is causing the issue.

If not plugins, then I’d try switching to a default theme to prove that you WP installation is ok.

if all that fails, come back
