this is theme related – we’d need a link to a live example on your site

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

I’m very unclear as to why you want participant users to access forums, or even topics and replies in the backend??

This gives them effectively admin access where they can crate and delete forums, and other users topics and replies.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

backend forums are generally only seen by bbpress keymasters

I’d need further details on what roles, are these default roles or have you set them up etc. to try and help further

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

thanks, just had a look on my test site.

The first hat image I uploaded displays as

<img src="https://i0.wp.com/santarosaphotographicsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/hm_bbpui/2765/dccxo3aalx9pf5qhw9w5scfhksqpwcb1.jpg" alt="picture">

so will load at the size of the web page.

On your site it displays as

<img src="https://i0.wp.com/santarosaphotographicsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/hm_bbpui/2765/dccxo3aalx9pf5qhw9w5scfhksqpwcb1.jpg?w=474&ssl=1" alt="Hats" width="473" height="316">

It is uploading as full size, so something, maybe your theme or a wordpress setting is limiting it’s display.

I’m not sure if those width details are being saved as part of the post saved in the database, or are added in displaying.

you might also look at

dashboard>settings>media

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

as a test can you turn off bbpress engagements

dashboard>settings>forums>engagements

and see if the problem goes away

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, just reread your thread and you say on purchase, let me have a look

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

so what are you using to upload images ?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

thanks.

when you say you get this ‘when I’m testing a new account’ – can you give the exact steps to reproduce

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

I had a look, but it is by no means obvious where this is set.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

I wrote this an age ago – suspect you can pick the bones out of it to get what you want

topic tags checklist

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

would need a link to an example rather than screenshot in any case

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

eg

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, well beyond free help, but in essence this is just an html form, so a bit of googling should let you create some js.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, I have bbpress running under WordPress, so if you don’t want to run WordPress, I cannot help.

You question is a bit like asking a ford car mechanic what the best motorbike is 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

Great – really pleased you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, bbpress only works with wordpress.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

also try

.bbp-search-form input[type="submit"] {
  float: none !important;

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

maybe this is closer, not quite right order

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title {
	float: right !important;
	text-align: right !important ;

}

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

ok, I think you have fixed the title

For the breadcrumbs add this to your css

.site-breadcrumbs, #top-bar-social.top-bar-right, #searchform-dropdown, .current-shop-items-dropdown {
  right: 0 !important;
  left: 0; !important

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

again, without knowing exactly what you are after, and alternative would be to have a forum where the teacher asks a question (posts a topic) and students the answer (post a reply).

If the replies can been seen by all students (and teachers of course), then you could use this plugin to create that solution

Private groups

and use the topic permissions to set teachers to have access to both topics and replies, but students to only have access to replies.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

I doubt this can be solved as posted without custom code.

You can import files using

GD bbPress Attachments

It would be possible to add some fields to the topic and or reply fields – this article explains the principals.

https://wp-dreams.com/articles/2013/06/adding-custom-fields-bbpress-topic-form/

Whilst it talks about the functions file, you can also use code snipetts

Code Snippets

so for instance if you wanted to try their code you would put all this into a single code snippet

add_action ( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content', 'bbp_extra_fields');
function bbp_extra_fields() {
   $value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), 'bbp_extra_field1', true);
   echo '<label for="bbp_extra_field1">Extra Field 1</label><br>';
   echo "<input type='text' name='bbp_extra_field1' value='".$value."'>";

   $value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), 'bbp_extra_field2', true);
   echo '<label for="bbp_extra_field1">Extra Field 2</label><br>';
   echo "<input type='text' name='bbp_extra_field2' value='".$value."'>";
}
add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );

function bbp_save_extra_fields($topic_id=0) {
  if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['bbp_extra_field1']!='')
    update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'bbp_extra_field1', $_POST['bbp_extra_field1'] );
  if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['bbp_extra_field1']!='')
    update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'bbp_extra_field1', $_POST['bbp_extra_field2'] );
}
add_action('bbp_template_before_replies_loop', 'bbp_show_extra_fields');
function bbp_show_extra_fields() {
  $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
  $value1 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, 'bbp_extra_field1', true);
  $value2 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, 'bbp_extra_field2', true);
  echo "Field 1: ".$value1."<br>";
  echo "Field 2: ".$value2."<br>";
}

There are reply equivalents, but would need you to specify what should go into topic and what reply

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

This might be the same as you are saying you don’t want – the user can press the submit, but it returns an error. As close as you’ll get without some js.

function rew_min_length ($reply_content) {
	if (strlen($reply_content)<500) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be at least 500 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}
return $reply_content ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_min_length' );

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 10 months ago]

you’ll need to switch debugging on to find out what the exact error is
