In reply to: Users Cannot View Own Replies
Not sure how much help I can be, but can you post a link to a forum thread where this is happening?
and say which replies they can’t see – eg is it all their own replies, or just the first one?
I’d also suggest eliminating conflicts by disabling all the plugins (except bbpress of course!) and seeing if the problem goes away. If it does, re-enable the plugins one by one to see which is causing the conflict.
if the plugins are not the issue, then change to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it still occurs
In reply to: Limit search on forumbbpress 2.4.1 comes with it’s own search function, which only searches forums.
this post also describes forum only search boxes which might help

and also a widget

doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me
Nor to me !!
Perhaps one for JJJ or Stpehen edgar to answer
It’s no doubt linked to the fact that bbpress is a plugin. I also run MarketPress on my site (an on-line shop) and the user details for that also don’t appear until I edit – so it’s not just bbpress that doesn’t do it, which would tend to indicate a wordpress constriction, rather than bbpress failing.
I still don’t understand why the forum roles appear in the role drop down after I deactivate bbpress…doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me…but at least I can now add people with forum roles. Thanks for your help
You don’t need to deactivate bbpress, just create a user, then after creation go straight back in and edit – once you’ve clicked save on the create, you’ll see a bar at the top of the next screen that will say something like “xx user created – edit”, and you can just click that, so whilst an annoyance, quite easy
Or did you mean something else?
In reply to: post count ?Ok, I’ve had a play and sorted out what was wrong
I’ve now wrapped this up in a plugin, so that you won’t lose it on upgrades.
This plugin shows
topics started
replies written
total postsunder the avatar of each post
The plugin file is very easy, and you can edit it to remove lines or change the wording
you can download it from
No nothing done here could take your site down.
Contact your host provider for help
In reply to: post count ?ok, when I get a mo, I’ll try it on my test site
In reply to: post count ?ok, so you’ll need to edit
web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
line 45 shows the avatar, so try adding a line 46
<?php echo bbp_get_user_post_count( $user_id ); ?>
haven’t tried it !
In reply to: change forum sidebarso what is showing now as the sidebar – is this your blog sidebar?
In reply to: Font Color in ForumsOR !!
You could change the bbpress background to match your site, so that the lettering can stay the same
If you like that better, I’ll work out what needs changing !
In reply to: Font Color in ForumsThat color is set by your parament theme css
wp-content/themes/parament/style.css
Line 81 sets this color, the code wrapping it is
a { color: #989EAE; text-decoration: none; }change the color line to
color: #000000;You can :
edit this file to change it, but any theme updates will overwrite it, so you’ll need to keep a record of what you changed.
or create a child theme to overwrite this
or use a plugin such as jetpack to add it using their css editorFor child themes google “creating a child theme video” to see lots on how to do this.
Not sure I understand what your problem is, but let’s try this in case !
When you create a new user, then only the blog role shows. If you save and then go back in and edit that user, you’ll see the wordpress roles at the bottom of the page which you can then set.
In reply to: Slugs issueWhat slugs issue?
can you point to something specifying your problem?
In reply to: post count ?“under the user” where do you mean?
You’ll see topic and reply counts when you display the user’s profile.please post a link to a page where you want it displayed
In reply to: change forum sidebarIf WP tweaks doens’t work, then other solutions are unlikely to without resolving why WP tweaks doesn’t – basically it just adds a custom sidebar as part of it’s plugin.
What theme are you using, and can you post a link to the current forum
In reply to: phpbb import hanging?It depends on the size of your old bb, but should take less than 30 minutes for any install.
In reply to: Users cannot see first post in each topicHas this problem just started happening? have you upgrade or changed anything?
Is your forum public? If so can you post a link to it, so that we can see the problem
Can you post links to where it is and is not displaying?
In reply to: Automating Tools->Forums->Repair ForumsStart by looking at cron – there’s lots about it on th web, here’s one article

In reply to: Problem with commentscan you give us a link to show the problem?
In reply to: previous/next thread/forum navigationok.
In 99% of cases this file will not have changed in the update, but all bbpress update plugins will overwrite this file, so you’ll lose your change.Therefore you can have two strategies.
1. do the update – this will overwrite the code. Then go back in to this file and just put your two lines of code back. You might need to check that the file hasn’t altered around line 24, so might need to alter where you put it.
2. Copy the file using FTP to your PC. Following an update, inspect the new content-single-topic to see if the file has been altered. Very high chance it hasn’t. If not, then just FTP back the file on your PC. If it has altered, you’ll need to copy the two ,lines fo code and put them back in the right place.
In reply to: Forum Access Questionusername
Yes you will set each one up.
Go into Dashboard>users>add new user
In there you will see a box to uncheck that they don’t see the toolbox, a wordpress role – I set to none for this site.
Once you have set them up and clicked save, then go back in to edit that user and you’ll see at the bottom options for their bbpress, which you’ll set to participant.
In reply to: Forum Access QuestionThis will take you several stages but should get you where you want to be
1. For your forum page
Create a page called forum or forums. In the body of the page type the following code
[bbp-forum-index]
And save
If your menu auto-creates then this will appear, if not go into dashboard>appearance>menus
2. Create a register form
Download contact form 7
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
set up a page called ‘register’, and put a registration for in there
3. Download bbpress WP tweaks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/
This will give you a bbpress sidebar that your forum page will use
Go into dashboard>appearance>widgets and populate this with
(bbpress) login widget
The url for register will be the page you set up under 2 – so populate this with “/register”, and the lost password url will be “/lost-password”
(bbpress) forums list
(bbpress) recent topics
(bbpress) recent replies
And anything else you want to add
4. When someone sends in a form (it’ll be emailed to you) then you can set them up, and ensure that they don’t get the toolbar. They will have “no role for this site” for wordpress, and “participant” form bbpress.
That should be enough to get you going, but come back if you need more !
In reply to: Forum Access QuestionOk, 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 themIn reply to: Breadcrumbs issue, duplicate 'forums'?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
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.
In reply to: Breadcrumbs issue, duplicate 'forums'?Unfortunately can’t see your issue, as the page is coming up with just the shortcode
