erm, yes, pretty much everything web relate, but not the language itself ‘PHP’. Also not an expert with wordpress. Just asking to get step by step as I’ve seen answers here with just code, without explaining where to insert it.
ok, so how tech savvy are you do you know
1. how to create a notepad/notepad++ file and copy/paste code into it?
2. FTP this to your wordpress site?
Come back and let me know
bbpress uses custom post types of Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Just use one of the many export plugins.
I googled ‘wordpress export custom post types to excel’ and got lots of useful looking plugins
Hello, I’m new to wordpress and bbPress and I’m trying to find an option to close topics after a some time, for example, after 2 days the topic was created.
How may I do this? Do I have to edit the code? If so, can someone explain step by step, as I have never worked with PHP before.
Thanks.
Hey no problem, glad you’re fixed
I suspect that the plugin author would be better to sort you with tablepress eg
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress
but you may hot the catch 22 that editing is in the backend and you need to disable this for the forums !
This isn’t showing as a wordpress site, and the post is not a bbpress one.
In any event, this will either be a server, email or wordress theme issue. Talk to your host provider who is most able to help you.
Hello, and happy new year
After almost 2 year from your proposal to switch to bbpress, and YES we changed to bbpress.
Greek translation is almost 100%, few more strings
WordPress Greece, now uses bbpress
ok fro for each menu item
1. create a wordpress page
2. put the shortcode for that subforum in it
3. publish
4. add to menu or sub menu
then no, bbpress only works with wordpress
Hi,
I am wondering why – when logged in – a participant is able to see the WP dashboard? Not the admin one but still the dashboard? Is there a setting I need to change?
Here is a screen shot of a participants page:
bPress 2.5.4-5380. WordPress 4.0.1. http://www.carfanaticsforum.com
How do I remove the Forums text and search bar?
I’m having issues left justifying my forum as a whole. I use WordPress’s 2011 theme.
I want to have room for widgets on the right hand side–I’m using BBPress wordpress Tweaks for the widgets.
The main page of BBPress is left justified, like so (which is what I want). This allows room for the widgets on the right hand side.

As soon as I click into a subforum, the interface is centered, leading to the widgets being pushed all the way down (and looking ugly). How can I left justify this as well?

One last thing, do I add the code via the editor or FTP?
Either is fine, I’d tend to do it via FTP and keep ols and new versions of the function file on your PC
And is there a tutorial on how to add a child theme?
This is a wordpress feature
Just google ‘wordpress creating a child theme’ or ‘wordpress creating a child theme video’ depending on whether you prefer seeing or reading
How to Create a WordPress Child Theme
looks a reasonable explanation
Hi Robin
I downloaded from the link you provided
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
2.5
If I select all the activate buttons mentioned above the error message disappear
You just need some functions or methods from Mandrill API instead of my templates 🙂 wp_mail also can send rich text emails (html emails). So you just need pass your html email template to wp_mail for example.
Also wp_mail by default sends email via PHP Mailer (not SMTP server). I recommend send emails through SMTP server – for protect from spam folder and SMTP server can add dkim record to emails. I dont know anything about Mandrill – maybe your plugin already change wp_mail for SMTP, maybe not. I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ plugin for sending emails via SMTP.
Hi Robin and team,
I am using bbp Private groups plugin with bbpress. This has been of great help for many. However, I am having this strange issue with moderator type of forum user.
Moderator user though assigned to a single private group is able to view forum topics and create topic that belong to a different group.
Below are two users I created in the system. Both belong to same private group:
Name Private Group(s) Wordpress & bbPress Roles
—————– ——————– ————————–
nishant.moderator Group1 GroupA Subscriber/Moderator
nishant.participant Group1 GroupA Subscriber/Participant
I have created two forums. Below is a snapshot of Management information tab of bb private groups:
Group1 Group name : GroupA
No. users in this group : 2
Forums in this group :
ForumA
No. forums that have this group set : 1
Group2 Group name : GroupB
No. users in this group : 0
Forums in this group :
ForumB
No. forums that have this group set : 1
nishant.moderator is able to view topics and add topic for ForumB as well which should not be allowed ideally.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks
Nishant
i found this plugin that does exactly what you say.
as long as you have allow anyone to register to site activated then it looks like it should work fine.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/dm-confirm-email/
there are plenty more plugins that also do this type of thing but they do additional things lik custom login forms. What i used in the past was a plugin called Register Plus Redux.
if you want something different and with more features go search the WordPress repository.
hmmm thats weird
hopefully while your trying to fix it , you didn’t do more harm than good.
heres a list of things you can do
contact your hosting providers support
see if they can find any issues you might have if you installed an SSL certificate or any other issues that might cause it like a CDN setup or such in their environment but im only guessing.
post a topic here https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation
im saying post a topic here because I don’t know much about this kind of issue , and im sure the people at their support team can help. I just know some stuff about bbPress and some stuff in WordPress to get by, like I said it’s highly unlikely that bbPress or BuddyPress could cause the issue im not ruling it out but its highly unlikely.
if your site is a live site do a scan also at sitecheck.sucuri.net
do a scan just in case something bad might of happened.
you can also wait until someone else picks up the topic from here and give you any other additional information.
I haven’t found a plugin with that kind of functionality
you can create a sticky topic on your site, with guidelines , rules , and stuff to know about like whats the limit you held for editing a post.
other than that this kind of functionality seems kind of fancy so maybe some custom development is needed. go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job.
I have renamed the plugins folder and i dont even get the wordpress login screen, its just going to my site ans saying
Sorry! That page doesn’t seem to exist.
@editor-mike
you can try it , if it doesnt work deactivate it/uninstall it.
if it doesnt work then you might need some custom development
post a job at http://wordpress.net
mention that plugin though say that you just need an updated/customized to all your needs version of that plugin.
