Thanks, Fee. As of WordPress 4.0 the problem still exists, so I commented out the

//$private_title_format = apply_filters( 'private_title_format', __( 'Private: %s' ), $post );
//$title = sprintf( $private_title_format, $title );

in wp-includes/post-template.php to get rid of the private: in front of private tagged forums which I use.

I’m obviously missing something quite fundemental 🙂
I’ve installed bbpress (WordPress 3.9.2, bbpress 2.5.4), created some forums, and put the forum index on to one of my pages. All of this works fine.
What I don’t have is a login or register button at the top of the forum list? I have a search button but that’s it. It would be handy to have a ‘view profile’ button up there too. How do I get these buttons, is there some extra code I need to add?
Also, which file would I need to change if I wanted to alter the appearance of the forum a little – for example make the font a little larger.

My forum page is here: http://www.blueberrycovebeads.com/forum

Thanks!

yes. The default WordPress playlist. Here’s an example http://www.trapclassics.com/gucci-mane-diary-of-a-trap-god/ when i have it enabled it makes the playlist disappear.

in the same order

1. in the backend you can set a forum to private and it is only visible to logged in users
Visibility is set for each forum, go into Dashboard>forums> and when you add/edit a forum, you will see visibility options on the right hand side in the forum attributes.

2. The above will achieve that

3. you can add edit profile to your menu

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

4. There are some plugins, but my suppers ready, so no time to google them !

5. don’t allow registration
dashboard>settings>general and uncheck anyone can register

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

I want the old version of the plugin, which is separated by WordPress.

[Robin W]

No problem, set the forums to private and only registered users will see them

If you want some visibility to encourage new users use

to control access

I have been trying to research the most effective way to achieve the below with a plugin or combination of plugins. Any help would greatly appreciated.

I’m using WordPress 4.0.

• Website containing a small private forum area that is password protected (forum page displays only a user login panel until you sign in, so non-members will not see any forum content at all).
• Once logged in the user can both view and post in the forum.
• Users can be created manually from the back end of the site but would preferably get some kind of front end user profile rather than having access to the WordPress Admin bar.
• Users can include attachments (.pdf or .doc/.docx) in posts for comment
• No front end registration as the forum will only be open to a select few

[Robin W]

you can change permalinks within wordpress

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

changing to postname is the popular option

Hello everyone,
I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress 2.5.4 installation.
I have a problem with topics and replies created on frontend: they don’t appear on the website.
I have 4 topics on a forum, and the page says “this forum has 4 topics”, but then it shows me only the one that I’ve created on backend.
Even in the backend when I go to “topics” it says 4 topics but shows me just 1.
Can someone help me please?

I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I am total newbie when it comes to bbpress/wordpress and have run into an issue. I created a WordPress theme usig Beuno. I installed bbpress on top of that so that I could have a forum for discussion. The problem is that it looks terrible. Please check it out and tell me what i can do to fix this problem? Any and all help would be super appreciated.

I just installed bbpress (version 2.5.4) on my website (WordPress version 4) http://www.radio.transitmg.com/forums/ but it doesn’t work like it seems here.

I try to start new topics but don’t show up

Can you guys can help?

[Robin W]

Can you explain a bit more about what you want?

Roles have capabilities, and are hieracrchical, so having two bbpress roles would be kinda pointless

If you just want a second name here, then you could use

forums is a virtual page – ie it doesn’t exist (not that pages really exist anyway!), and is not a ‘post ‘ in the wordpress sense of post

Rather than use the forums widget, why not just use a text widget, just put this in the content

Hi,

sorry I have had a few wines now but very sure its been taken down since I grabbed it form the usual place:

I have WordPress on the bleeding edge setup for the alpha’s.. it seems to update every few hours.

Yes I know it shouldn’t be used on a truly live setup but have a new domain to use for it if I decide I like the combo as it’s a bit different to my normal choice of IPB and I have had quite a lot of fun fending off bots and other attacks. While at the same time promoting some future events which will make friends some money and get me free entry, while learning a new script at the same time.

I can easily rebuild it in an hour or so if it goes wrong and do the obvious backups.

I was just curious TBH. When I was younger I used to play around defacing such sites for jokes but a lot older now and don’t do such things. I have an odd obsession with having things before I should and helping fix/report if and when I can.

Thanks for the zipped link. And yes please do point me to the docs. I rarely use localhost though unless installing things that act up with newer PHP/MySQL versions, just a bit of fun really. I’m getting a lot of bot attacks but I’m quite cheeky when posting on other blogs to temp them TBH. I always considered WP a weak script but it’s improved a lot since maybe v2.x.x when I last tried it. I just like PHP and building things. Not so great with GFX.

Thanks again for the zip. If you comment tomorrow when I’m not drunk I will post the 2.2-a zip I have if you have not found it already. If the site continues to attract international traffic I will use stable versions on the new domain and protect it properly.

Just testing, google and other search engines seem to love the script after few mods. Though I have done quite a bit of SEO work mainly to try and stress it ha ha 🙂

I started with 4.0-beta-1 I think then just continued to see what I could make/break/fix 🙂

The site is here if you want a look and seems to be running quit well, WordFence is a bit buggy I find though while auto updates are on, causing cache issues at times but nothing that can’t be fixed. Nice to meet you.

Regards,
ANTi-CAP

Where are you downloading BuddyPress 2.2 Alpha from? bbPress and BuddyPress share (mostly) the same setup for development.

If it is from https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/ via the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.zip then bbPress is the same structure via https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/ and the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip

To get the “full” bleeding edge alpha’s requires quite a bit more setup at your end as bbPress and BuddyPress have recently switched to using a new build process and these are not designed to be run on a live website, only for local development on your local computer, I can point you to the docs for this if that is what you are after though 🙂

Awesome topic tags btw 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉

What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.

WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.

Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:
