In reply to: Post that need approval
images in posts will be seen as links, so maybe look at
dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation>no. links
In reply to: Post that need approvalI am guessing that you have some form of moderation switched on 🙂
In reply to: ERROR for site owner: Invalid site keyIn reply to: Trashing/Deleting Topics@jimmyt53 – thanks
I’ll try and work up some code in the next couple of days
In reply to: not receiving subscriptions or notices.as first step
then maybe amend sending email address which can be the culprit
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
In reply to: Trashing/Deleting Topicsthanks for that – it all helps me decide what route to go.
So wordpress has several states, these include draft, publish and trash. You can then permanently delete – this gets rid of them from the database, which makes it faster for lookups. Given the power of servers nowadays, many sites will have no problem with a significant database, so permanently deleting may not speed up your site, but is cleaner if you are sure you never want them back.
However your post does give a further alternate that I was not imtending, but might be your solution. If you create a ‘hidden’ forum, then this is only visible to moderators and keymasters. So instead of using a plugin that I write, you could simply move topics into that hidden forum
so
dashboard>forums>add forum> call it what you like but in forum attributes (top right) and set visibility to hidden
then for each topic
dashboard>topics>all topics>edit topic>topic attributes (top right) and just change the forum it belongs to to the new hidden one.
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?Great – glad that you got there and posted back the answer !!
dashboard>topics>all topics>edit topic>topic attributes (top right) and just change the forum it belongs to
In reply to: Trashing/Deleting TopicsAll – let me just clarify that I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author !!
@craigcotner & @iqfy- trashing topics or replies calls a standard WordPress function which checks for comments and media on each post before trashing. This involves a database lookup to check whether anything in those tables needs deleting and it is this that seems to be taking the time and making you both time out. Topics and replies don’t have comments or media that is attached in that way, so these steps are not needed.Now trashing a reply is fairly easy, replies don’t hold any data that needs referencing elsewhere that we need to worry about.
But Topics have engagements and subscriptions to be gone through.
so if I wrote some code to allow you to delete a numbered topic, this could use a quicker method to permanently delete all the replies, and then use the proper function to delete the topic.
And as long as the topic or reply it is not latest activity, then we can maybe skip the step that needs to recalculate what the lastest activity now needs to be.
That should prevent timeouts I hope.
SO 2 things here
1. any topic/reply being got rid of should not be the ‘latest activity’ in the forum – but I’m guessing if the topic is still getting replies and therefore ‘hot’ then you would not be deleting it
2. this would be deleting it a numbered topic at a time, so you would look up the topic and then in the dashboard there would be an option to enter that topic number to trash it.Does that sound as if it would work for you?
@jimmyt53 – not sure how easily I’d be able to fix that, but I’ll think about it as I progress. so1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably? and
2. just from one forum or across all forums?
3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activityFeedback before I start code something that doesn’t help would be great 🙂
and from all – are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?
In reply to: Sync staging to productionStaging sites can be very useful, but they have limited capability.
In essence the forums are stored in the posts and postmeta tables in the database.
At best, if none of your staging changes have involved changes to posts and pages or any other custom post types, you might get away with copying these tables to staging to ‘catch up’.
Otherwise almost all ‘design’ changes will involve writes to some tables in the database, so you will have the staging database with some changes, and the live site with others, making matching them back very hard.
Unless you staging site changes are very complex, you might do better to simply note every change you make in staging as a list of actions.
Then when you are ready to go live, take a further live site copy to staging, put your live site in maintenance, and repeat your list of changes on staging to validate that they work, then sync staging back to live.
Sorry, but that’s the best I can offer
In reply to: mobileHaving taken a look, I’d guess your theme is doing that – there are many inline css rules applying to mobile.
Sorry beyond help from me.
In reply to: @mention email notifications not workingso
1. are the emails showing in the WP Mail SMTP plugin logs?
2. have you talked to your hoster – if working in staging, then might be a domain configuration issueIn reply to: mobilelink to an example please
In reply to: padding between topicsgreat – glad you are fixed !!
In reply to: Blank topic pages while using TwentyTwentyTwo theme.@steveorevo – thanks for posting this, I’ll substitute it for my solution on next release of my style pack plugin – it is much better and cleaner 🙂
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?once you’re across, come back and I’ll take another look, but whilst jetpack is interfering I can’t give you solutions !
your theme or another plugin might be affecting my template loading
if you want to check this:
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
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?thanks.
wordpress.org are the people behind WordPress – it is just the WordPress product.
Wordpress.com is the hosting company that WordPress has that allows you to have a website with WordPress.
There are many hosting companies – virtually all of whom let you have WordPress as a product on your website.
As far as I know it is wordpress.com who insist on the site having Jetpack, but since I have never lodged a site there, I have no idea if they let you change the settings.
https://santarosaphotographicsociety.org is listed as using wordpress.com on https://sitechecker.pro/hosting-checker/
your site https://steveruddyphotography.com/ is listed as hosted by InMotion Hosting, Inc.
so I suspect you actually want to move santarosaphotographicsociety away from wordpress.com not to it.
Other hosters might insist on you having Jetpack, and indeed may restrict the settings – none of the ones I use do either of those.
Anyway, hopefully you’ll get to a resolution.
In reply to: padding between topicstry this in your custom css
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic { padding: 5px 25px !important; }In reply to: Text Edit Bar missing for Keymaster🙂
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?I’m now hugely confused.
who are you hosting with??
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?ok so you are using a plugin to upload images – yes?
If so is it this
or something else?
In reply to: Text Edit Bar missing for Keymaster
My bbPress install is 100% default. There is no custom styling at all. I haven’t made any changes to the settings.
ok, so bbpress without anything else does not have the ‘visual/text’ options, so what is adding these please.
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?just tried 2014 and it uploads as full size unless you constrain.
so when you say you use the image icon in the bbPress editor does this ask anything about size?
If not then it could be a plugin issue
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
In reply to: Why are the image uploads so small?thanks, fully appreciate that most of this stuff is annoying as hell 🙂
The problem is that all wp websites are a combination of wordpress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff. That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues.
I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who was helped several years ago when I was setting bbpress up, so I try to help others – I’m not a bbpress author.
my test site is twenty ten. I’ll try twenty fourteen to see if that sheds any light.
