yes this plugin will show you – once activated you will see it on the right hand side of the dashboard top bar next to your username

I hate anyone but admins seeing the dashboard – it is not needed and looks ugly

I am creating a forum for users that is part of a larger website. When I tested registration it appears that registered users have access to the website dashboard, even when set to participant or spectator level. How do I configure the log in so users only have access to the actual forum themselves?

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress 2.5.12

Thanks!

@robin-w I tried it but it doesn’t work.

I had the same issue when I setup the forum page in my website Weightalogue that is hosted on WordPress.org but it wasn’t working out for me (sometimes there used to show nothing but a blank page and sometimes the page used to get a message “not-responding”) which made me de-activate the plugin.

Is there anything else I can do to make it work for my website?

Thanks!

No, a normal topic post. Like here.

Hi,
For specific questions when using that plugin, it might be better to ask on the dedicated forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-sort-topic-replies

[Robin W]

Otherwise check out the https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ plugin, it will most likely have the functionality.

it does!

Hi jonahma,

Which theme are you using? This should be doable with CSS, otherwise you can remove it from the loop-single-reply.php file.

Hi fuse2701,

You need to change the padding-left value from 16px to 0.
The first padding value (0) is the padding-top one, the second one (0) is for padding-right, the third (23px) bottom and the last one (padding-left) should be changed from 16px to 0.

These are the current values:

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 16px;
line-height: 26px;
list-style-type: disc;
}

If you are using a child theme, copy and paste the CSS lines below there. Otherwise, go to your WordPress Dashboard, Divi / Divi Theme Option / General tab / and paste these lines there on Custom CSS / Save Changes

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 0;
}

If that doesn’t work, try adding a !important like this
padding: 0 0 23px 0 !important;

Hello,

I installed bbPress, maybe 5 months ago. I imported from phpBB.
After some trouble with this import, the installation was ok.

But now, with wordpress 4.7.2 (maybe before I’m not sure), I can see my forums but not replies and topics.
About topics, I can see when it’s “pin topics” but there is not reply inside.

Everything is ok in the admin panel of WP, all posts, topics and forums are here.

I tried to remove “WP-super cache” and use the tool “bbp-repair” but nothing change.

Could someone help me?

Best Regards

[Robin W]

not really sure that bbpress is the best tool for this.

several wordpress solutions round – I googled ‘document sharing wordpress’ and got this which looks like it is a better fit

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/

you can see what the free vs. premium does here

Wordpress is 4.7.2 BBpress is the most updated version. site is http://teroromighty.com

On the main site you’ll see the bbpress login. I can log in with my account but the page will refresh and not show me the menu items that are listed to be private. (only logged in viewers)

i can log in by using the /login page and then it’ll allow you to view profile as if you’re logged in but it’s not showing the menu items profile and logout.

And account to test with is dragonchild pass Dragon13

I’m at a loss really. I’ve also got a plugin called

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress Version 2.5.12. I have tried the code as mentioned in previous post. However, it doesn’t work. Could any generous guys can help me?

My main objective is to set spectator to have ability to post/edit a post. That’s it.

1. Is there any other easiest way to do it?
2. If no, any change besides the false/true value I suppose to amend?
3. Where should I put the code, only capabilites.php?

I wish someone can show me step by step solution. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your reply.

This might seem obvious for the creator of bbpress. But it really isn’t. I think you need to drop the word “partner” cause that is really confusing.

Method 1:
This doesn’t do anything other than adds a page that you can add to your navigation. You could instead basically add a custom link to your navigation because the page itself isn’t displayed since you have the same slug as you set for forum root index. The default bbpress index will be displayed. Having a wordpress-page is just confusing since nothing added to that page is displayed.

Method 2:
This method doesn’t mention the slug at all so I presume the slug here is different then the one set as forum root index. Fine. Name your page anything and add anything along with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. There you have it. You think…

You think you have customized your forum index page. But in fact that page is just a non-bbpress page that happens to have bbpress content in it. How so?

1) Your breadcrumb forum index link will still display the default index page.

2) And if you use the bbp style pack to add login-logout-buttons to your navigation it won’t recognize your custom index page as a bbpress-page. (The buttons won’t display when option is set to only display on forum pages)

Maybe it’s just me, but If I create my own index page, of course I want that page to be the index page linked to in the breadcrumbs as well.

So. I’m struggling with the word “partner” here. In my mind it says a wordpress page can partner with bbpress and act as the forum index page. As a replacement not as an addition. It can’t be that you should have TWO different index pages, can it?

So, how do I create a custom forum index page that is recognized as a forum page and acts as the forum index page in the breadcrumbs?

Cheers!

ok, you are using the foodie theme which is based on genesis, so suspect that you need

bbPress Genesis Extend

[Robin W]

no problem

that does make me more suspicious that it is a theme issue.

just as a test can you try switching to say twenty sixteen and see if that fixes

by the way you can style forums using my style pack plugin, which will make them much more pretty

Hi Dropshot,

As far as i remember the plugin has the ability to redirect non logged in users, but i can’t recall if this can be done from the forum index.

Otherwise i am sure i have seen a member plugin, doing what you want, i just can’t remember the name, but you could look it up at the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.

What does this mean??

I’ve set the forums root to “forums”. Then I’ve created a WP-page with slug “forums” and included some shortcodes.

The WP-page is ignored, so content displayed on /forums is the bbpress default index page.

What does this mean: “Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”??

How do I replace the default index with a WP-page?

I just installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.2. I created a test forum with one topic. I haven’t changed any of the default settings. When I load the forum page, I get this:

Forums
by (Edit)
Search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Cardstock 1 1 1 hour, 55 minutes ago Cheryl

It looks just like a bunch of text with no formatting. Here’s the link: http://livelovecards.com/forums/

I haven’t tried disabling plugins because I have a lot of them and my site is subscription, so I don’t want to disrupt service. I’m hoping this is an obvious problem to someone out there.

Thanks so much for your help!
