    can you confirm what theme you are using please

    hmmm.. that meta_key is used during transition, but should I think be deleted as part of the cleanup process. It is not needed in normal use.

    There is some code called during password process that does a check which is where this is falling down

    I’d suspect that then process did not complete correctly and has left this behind.

    I’d suggest a couple of actions.

    Firstly find a user who can help you, who has not changed password and who can log on. Without them (or you!) changing their password, delete the ‘_bbp_class’ meta key, and check that they can still log in ok. If so, then get them to change password and check that all is ok.
    That should then give you confidence that this key is not needed for some interim process.

    Then

    1. if you have the knowledge to backup the user table so that you have a record, I’d suggest you take a copy and then run some php/sql to delete these records
    2. more cautiously, I’d suggest maybe you rename that meta-key, that way you can name it back if needbe.

    both of these would require pho or sql knowledge.

    I’m quite happy to help if you’d like – contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ with a link to this thread so I can tie it up.

    thanks, I found the issue – fixed in 5.4.3 just released.

    thanks – I’ll take a look at that

    it could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

    Health Check & Troubleshooting

    Then come back

    in that tab there is the option ‘Where to show roles’ – it is the first item in that tab.

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum roles and you can set the topic author

    you do seem to be massively over-thinking this 🙂

    Install private groups plugin

    create a group called’teachers’
    create a group called ‘students’
    tick the tab that sets up topic permissions
    create (or edit an existing) forum
    set the forum that teachers can create topics and replies
    set the forum that students can only create replies
    set each user to be either a teacher or student
    job done.

    you can leave the template for time unchanged.

    add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;
    add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;
    
    function rew_change_to_freshness ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
    	$result = bbp_get_time_since( bbp_convert_date( $time ) ) ;
    	
    return $result ;
    }

    Put this in your child theme’s function file –

    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    or use

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

    transfer this to your pc and edit
    that will let you remove the header and footer, and change the date function

    and save

    create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
    wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php

    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

    easy to uninstall
    very different to the one in your link

    private groups will do what you want.

    Basically you have a choice.

    1. develop code yourself
    2. use code someone else has written
    3. pay someone to write code for you
    4. use a plugin and set this up yourself
    5. use a plugin and pay someone to set it up for you.

    My private groups plugin does what you need – I do not write separate plugins for every circumstance, everyone wants something slightly different 🙂

    Anyway I’ll let you consider. Quite happy to do option 5 if you want some help

    I don’t have access to that part, but I’ve messaged an plugin author to ask them

    @robin-w

    Install this additional plugin

    Private groups

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>help to see how the plugin works, but then look at ‘topic permissions’ tab, which has the exact example you are after.

    maybe look through these, bbpress simply uses custom post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’, so any that will let you add custom posts types should be fine

    I just added yarpp, it looks like it recognizes these as ‘buddypress topics’ – buddypress uses bbpress forum

    you’d need to ask yarpp what you need to do

    This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
    install

    bbp style pack

    once activated, navigate to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

    In that tab, select

    Enable Theme Support

    and save

    I suspect this is a theme issue.

    But in essence you are asking what is wrong with your car without letting us examine it 🙂
