can you explain a bit more !
You can allow anonymous posting on bbpress, so people who have not joined can post ‘topics’ which will be questions, but this will also allow them to reply to others.
Pretty much what you’ve described is what I am seeking. I currently have a blog page but I would need to create a topic to which any visitor can reply without needing permission from me or need to join anything.
I want the visitor to simply be able to ask a question [create topic?] so myself or anyone can reply to that question/topic. Would i have that scenario with bbpress please?
yes if you allow anonymous posting for the forums !
Thanks, I have already installed and activated the plugin but is there an easy user friendly tutorial for a site owner [not a coder] to setup and have the interface show on a page please?
Cool, thank you very much!
Was easy enough [thanks again!], those instructions are pretty efficient but will need to spend some more time on on it to get further acquainted with everything for example I don’t know why it’s showing “forums” twice in the URL, how can I fix this please?
http://newwordpresstheme.pcandnetservices.com/forums/forum/ask-the-tech/
I can’t see it twice – have you fixed this?
No, but I am seeing the double forum in the url only when I click on the the topic I created titled “ask the tech”
http://newwordpresstheme.pcandnetservices.com/forums/forum/ask-the-tech/
ok I see now
It is showing the url as
your-site/
forums/ [this is the part for all the forums]
forum/ [this is the part for a single forum]
name of the forum/ [this is the name of this forum]
you can take out the ‘forums’ part if you wish (and no reason why you can’t take it out if you want !)
Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug
and look for
Forum Prefix Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)
no problem – glad you’re fixed !
