Small bug: i’ve maked a forum and put a new topic in it. After of this i’ve changed this forum in category and maked a new sub-forum inside it. Finally i’ve move topic from category[when i’ve changed forum in category no topics deleted or migrated] to forum and counter results with two topics and two posts (in realty i’ve just one post in one topic)

Right now, for some reason unknown to me, the database IS showing roles for users now. I’m going to try and revist any steps I’ve done prior to this and post them here.

I didn’t get a chance to test out your steps above before it (by magic) decided to work.

Though I don’t understand why this would have resolved any issues I was experiencing, the last thing I did to the site was:

https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and changed my wordpress values in the config.php file and admin section of the site, then copied the values (again) to bbpress’s config.php file.

** I found this via another post while searching Google, so reluctantly I performed the steps. **

“Why do I need to change forum.php? “

Nevermind, my fault.

Looked around. There is a plugin called “Approve User Registration” but it doesn’t work. I ran a bunch of test registrations, and never received any emails. Guess it’s outdated.

I also tried the “Private Forums” plugin, but I couldn’t get that to work either.

So, I downloaded the plugin ROLE MANAGER.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

Using that, you can create many roles for people. I duplicated my “member” role, then changed some of the restrictions.

So, I have a “member” who could read everything, but not post.

And a “verified member” who could post. So, when I get someone that registers, I can change their role manually and make them verified.

I’m checking to see if this plugin works well with the “New User Notification Email” plugin. If that works, then I will get a new email whenever someone registers.

Gotcha. I changed front-page.php … and that worked.

Why do I need to change forum.php? Didn’t see anything related there. Doesn’t that just list the topics in a specific forum?

Anyone else have a suggestion? One that is useful?

It’s spam buddy.

You must edit the files:

bb-templateskakumeifront-page.php

bb-templateskakumeiforum.php

if your theme is kakumei, or

bb-templates*your theme name*front-page.php

bb-templates*your theme name*forum.php

if you use a custom theme. Move the table “forumlist” above table “latest”. Try to not mess up with the PHP portion of code cause nasty things can happen.

@JJJ: really compliments for latest update

In past i’ve request user signature but i don’t remember if i’ve already asked for topic/post promotion (i think, like vbulletin/ipb, is a good idea to have a way to promote – or move – an article in blog/category/homepage).

[jabbamonkey]

Just curious, on the main page of the forum, how I can move the list of Forums above the Lastest Discussions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have created a test site and added several topics to a forum.

I have set the number of items in reading to 10.

When I access the forum (which has 32 topics) I see the first ten topics, but when I click the page navigation for page 2, I simply get the add new topic form and no existing topics are shown.

I am using the default theme and even when I change between the built in themes this is still a problem.

Could someone please advise of a fix?

I am not overly skilled in PHP code. But can find my way around to make changes under direction.

Cheers,

AlexB

I have a blog that is integrated with my WordPress blog. Just testing it out for now.

– What options are available to keep our Spam and other spurious sign-ups? How can I protect my integrated WP user database?

Thanks!

@JJJ – I greatly appreciate you fixing my “Close Topic” bug! Unfortunately it appears to break super sticky posts.

The particular topic I want to close, is a super stick with some “forum guidelines” that should be visible everywhere. When I close it now, it’s visible in the original forum it was created in, but nowhere else.

So we have half the problem solved, at least the topic IS visible to other users.

Looking forward to a full fix on this one!

As for favorites and subscriptions, the problem is that the buttons for choosing them in the first place, aren’t available. They exist in the code, but are not present visually to the user, to be able to press them. What’s the best way to actually enable these features?

Also for anyone else this may help – here is how I updated painlessly (and will do so going forward)

1) Download latest branch and edit bbpress.php, changing the plugin name to add the specific branch number

2) Rename new plugin folder name to “bbpress xxxx” where “xxxx” is the version number”

3) Upload folder to plugins folder of my WP install

4) Deactivate old bbPress plugin

5) Activate new “bbpress xxxx” plugin

6) Move theme from old bbP to new bbP

7) Enable theme in the new bbP

Profit!

This worked great for me, no conflicts, no worries of overwriting files, etc. Very smooth and easy to degrade back again if I need to.
