thanks, looking at this, I’m guessing you have ‘all discussions’ as a forum, and the others as sub forums.
I’d suggest you try either
a) changing ‘all discussions’ from a forum to a category (categories don’t have topics)
dashboard>forums>all forums>select ‘all discussions’ and in top right under ‘forum attributes’ change type from forum to category
b) maybe better make all forums main forums, and maybe just delete the ‘all discussions’ forumwordpress.com is a specific site to host wordpress sites
but you can have wordpress sites on lots of other hosting platforms as well.
but yes bbpress only works with wordpress.
ps uninstalling bbpress won’t help 🙂
ok, this all sounds like wordpress.com stuff (not a problem, but I don’t use this, so have no experience of what it looks like)
Come back if you are not sorted !
I suspect your theme is amending how forums display, as these are not in a grid by default, and the ‘all discussions’ is not what I woudl exoect [bbp-forum-index] to show.
So I’d still need a link to this to see what is being downloaded.
ahh… I think that’s you wordpress.com access.
You need your site user access
so once logged in as administrator to your site, then in your sites dashboard, go to
dashboard>users>all users>edit user
It’s so odd that bbpress wouldn’t let people….
you do need to accept that your site is unique – there is no other WordPress site that is ‘exactly’ the same, you have a combination of php versions, theme, plugins pages, posts and numerous settings that no-one else has.
Therefore, please do not assume that what you are seeing is what everyone sees –
setting wordpress and bbpress roles to both exist is normal, what you are seeing is not.
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
Then come back
umm, this is in dashboard>users>all users>edit user?
not sure of the question – can you provide a link to what you are seeing on the forums page, and then say what you don’t want to see
there are wordpress roles – administrator, editor, author etc.
and there are bbpress roles – keymaster, moderator, participant etc.The two exist side by side
Private forums can only be accessed by people with a bbpress role.
The default role given to wordpress users is set up in
dashboard>settings>forums>role
That way you can decide who sees what.
If you have existing users, you can just allocate them the participant role (typically) in dashboard>users>all users> and edit each user.
ok, bbpress just uses wordpress users, so anything that registers wordpress users will create users for the forums.
You probably don’t need the private groups plugin, so deactivate that for the moment.
So set the forum to private.
then decide how you would like your users to register.
a) If you just want anyone to be able to register, then
dashboard>settings>general and tick ‘anyone can register’
You can then create a registration page (Dashboard>pages>add new) and put this shortcode in it
[bbp-register]then add that page to your menu.
b) if you want to ‘vet’ new users, then use a contact form plugin such as ‘contact form 7’ to create a registration form asking whatever questions you want. Set that form to email to whoever, and they then create the user (dashboard>users<add new), and either use wordpress to email the user the password (there is a tick box on the user creation, or copy the password, and send an email to the user yourself.
c) or use one of the many wordpress registration plugins (https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/register/)
The choice is yours 🙂
ok,
First port of call is always
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
always worth a punt when things aren’t displaying
Then I’d suggest you install the plugin ‘what the file’, and then in a page that is not displaying right it will tell you in the toolbar what templates in your theme it is using at that point.
Apologies, I was mixing you up with another user whose hoster does not allow changes. if you have FTP capabilitiy then
I’d suspect you need a bbpress.php template
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ section 8
In reply to: seeking for ability to print a whole threadI’ve been thinking about this off and on.
Is this for any user, or moderators/admins or whom?
you would fix this issue by amending a template in your theme, but as you have already said that they don’t let you change stuff, then I suspect that you will have to live with what is being shown.
Sorry, limited ability to fix when you have limited ability to use WordPress
In reply to: How can i make bbpress forum & topic page fullwidth.#bbpress-forums { width: xx%; }In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok thanks, has someone else asking how to print a forum thread, and was hoping that might be the answer !
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeJust as a bit of knowledge does the pdf-generator-for-wp-public plugin let you download a topic and it’s replies?
or just blog posts?
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumok, sorry, not a lot else I can do.
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumok, install
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes
and you’ll see [bsp-display-topic-index] with lots of options including picking from selected forums – insert this in a text/html/shortcode box – if gutenberg, then a shortcode box.
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok, try this is in the custom css part of your theme
#TB_window { width: 100% !important; max-width: 700px !important; }may or may not improve/fix – it all depends on the load order of your site’s css !
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumso do you have 2 issues?
1. only showing on homepage
2. only showing the 3 forum topicsIn reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok, just been playing.
I susoect this is caused by your plugin pdf-generatorfor-wp-public
which has a css rule on line 165
#TB_window { z-index: 1000000 !important; width: 90% !important; max-width: 400px; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); margin: 0 !important; box-shadow: 0 0 0 5000px rgb(0 0 0 / 74%) !important; }The width 90% and max width are poossibly the problem
Try deactivating that plugin and see if this fixes. If so, then we can look at some css to fix.
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumso how are you doing the ‘widget’ on a specific page – ie only show it on one page?
