Thanks @Robkk but it doesn’t see to matter what change I want to make.

Yeah I just tested it and it doesn’t work when saving, I guess do not edit your profile right now.

Not a good place for the book to be because if I or someone is getting a 404 error page then we’re not happy and you are linking that to purchasing the book… Just my 2 cents.

Well maybe Rhys Wynne is getting some good out of this haha, the 404s of course are not intentional.

I defintely won’t upgrade until the new version is well tested

It usually is well tested before official release, I wouldn’t consider running anything alpha though.

BBpress or buddy press (what is the difference)

Ones has some features that are in Twitter or Facebook, the other is just forums. Both usually work great together.

Other than that I have used this login here since 2011 when I first played with BBpress and got rid of it after 6 months or so…

I think that was way back in the beta version of bbPress v2. a lot has changed since then.

@ovbg

I think the safest option right now would be to create a parent forum for the three forums you want to group together. The topics will not be in a single forum, but you are technically grouping them together not merging into one. Grouping might not cause any issues with subscriptions and also the only solid recommendation I can think of right now that I know for sure will not cause any other issues. I will keep this topic in mind if I do find a legit way to merge forums in the next week though.

I made changes and changed my email to what should be over at Gravatar and hit submit and get a 404 error and end up seeing the BBpress book for sale.
I don’t know if it took it or not…. It may not be allowing changes as far as I can tell

@folgerj

It probably didn’t work, and you can could always add additional email addresses to Gravatar. So if you want a specific Gravatar for wordpress/bbpress.org add the email you used on those sites. You can always remove it then change the email on the sites later.

..Curious to know what the bug is/was..could happen to any of our sites too I suppose.

@uncle-jimmy

I think I made an educated guess last week to what commit caused the issue, and Stephen pinpointed the issue. Also the reason the issue is on this site is because this site is running the latest alpha, so this site see any issues first before releasing the next update.

@longchelsea @candicexiang

do what I said here

@caseylifec

You might have to try this to only remove it on bbPress pages and not on blog posts.

#bbpress-forums div.entry-author {
  display: none;
}

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

As long as the users have registered and their default role is a participant they should be able to create topics.

You can try troubleshooting for other possible issues too.

style using this CSS

.bbp-form .button {
  background-color: #1e8cbe;
  color: #FFF;
  font-family: "Oswald", "Lato", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  text-shadow: none;
  font-size: 26px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.bbp-form .button:hover {
  background-color: #1e8cbe;
  color: #FFF !important;
}

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

The activate component I think you are talking about is part of BuddyPress.

I can’t find any documentation that details if there needs to be a shortcode on that page but mine is blank…This is the downside so far. In the Docs there should be a description of each of the required pages and what they do as well as what I need to do with them

When BuddyPress is installed you will have a register page usually at yoursite.com/register/, and also an activate page so after you register you are required to activate your account usually here yoursite.com/activate/.

All documentation for the activate page would be on BuddyPress, in their codex.

Register and Activation Pages

There might be more documentation on the activate page, but I can’t find them if you want more information about it contact BuddyPress in their forums.

https://buddypress.org/support/

bbPress does allow shortcodes for registration, lost-password, and also for login, but none for users to activate their account. bbPress relies on how WordPress sets up registered users.

Alright great 🙂

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

sorry the late reply.

Is your issue resolved?? I see everything working fine on the first site

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

I can’t duplicate the issue you are facing.

Maybe you redefining the site address url caused the issue??

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

I don’t know why they really need to be from Australia but you could hire someone from http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or whatever freelance site you can find.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

well I don’t think you can merge forums by default in bbPress.

Hello, I have set my forum up with four different forums, but I want to strip this down to two, so effectively merging three forums into one.

How can I do this?

I think there is a plugin to export all the topics and replies of a forum and then you can import the that data into another forum.

I think there is also a different way to do this, some other guy did this with some other plugin. I might have to look that up and see the plugin he used.

Is it better to rename one forum, then move everything from the other two forums into the first?

Or, should I somehow merge all three into one?

I don’t think it matters really?? It might be best just to move all the data in a new forum though.

In any case, how will this affect posters subscriptions? Will they still have direct access to the forums once moved if people add to a topic?

This is a great question about the subscriptions, this will need some testing. I think they can have direct access to the topic once it is moved.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

where are your forums so I could see what issue you are talking about??

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Does it really not show the reply author’s avatar in the freshness??

Usually you will get the latest reply author in the freshness. When a forum has had a topic that has been replied to, if you hover over the freshness link it would say Reply To: Topic name, and if you look at the author link it should show the latest replies author’s avatar.

You can check to see if it is a cache issue by flushing the cache?

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Does the bbPress styles work fine in another theme??

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

try some troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting

install bbPress on your site first if you need more help.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

any errors or did the import just seem not to finish?

how many posts are you trying to import??

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

@bananadan

There are a ton of other freelance sites that you can try to hire a developer to do this for you. Some like freelancer.com where I do see a lot of forum migration jobs posted there.

@slim1212

how do i add counter in bbpress?

create a new topic for that.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

I think making a forum private should do what you are looking for. If you want a more private forum, look into the bbPress members only plugin. That plugin only works best without BuddyPress though.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

@folgerj

this site uses gravatar, so go to gravatar.com and use the same email you used for this site/wordpress.org, and change it there.

For anybody that wants to view their profile and have been redirected to this topic. There is a bug right now that is being looked over. To edit your profile go to this exact url, with username being your exact username.

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/

To go to certain profile links add these additional slugs for each. So for example go to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/subscriptions to view your subscriptions.

Topics Started > topics/
Replies Created > replies/
Favorites > favorites/
Subscriptions > subscriptions/
Edit Profile > edit/ (You can look at any information but not save)

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

This feature is not yet implemented into bbPress yet. WHen it is, in the next big release or so, I should have a guide explaining how to do it.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Use this Custom CSS

#bbpress-forums ul li {
  margin-left: 0;
  text-indent: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

well for the wbb1_post it looks right.
