A client asks me if it is possible to let visitors see the topic titles, but not allow them to click further and read replies, unless registering. Is that possible?

Hi there,

I’m looking for a little help and guidance with the transfer of a forum.

We’ve been updating a website which runs a bbpress forum. We’ve developed the new wordpress site on a dummy domain using ‘Duplicator’ to copy the old website over and run the various theme / design updates. Whilst we have been doing this the current website has still be running.

We now need to copy the forum activity which has happened in the last 3 weeks from the current site to update the new design before transferring it all back the live domain.

Hope this makes sense!

For clarification we run:-
Wordpress 3.9.1
BBPress 2.5.4
S2Member 140614
Proper live domain:- lifeafterlondon.com
Dummy test domain:- lifeafterlondon.co.uk

I have 5 top level forums and each one has 5-20 sub forums, I’d like to be able to add a single sub forum to a page.

So for example I have a /forums page that shows all the forums…

Forum 1
sub-forum a
sub forum b
Forum 2
sub forum c
sub forum d

etc etc

I want to put the contents of “sub forum c” on to a post that relates to that topic, and therefore have all the comments and posts show up on both the /forum page and the post page.

Is this possible?

I was wanting to use BBPress but I have had the same problem (WP 3.8.2). No settings showing up at all in the Dashboard. After trying to resolve this I have just hit a brick wall and I am not going to disable all my plugins and/or abandon some plugins.

And yes, I note in all the forum threads a hint of arrogance and dismissiveness on the part of the developers. And there is NOTHING in the setup instructions on how to get around/warn about these issues.

So I will not be using BBPress.

Here are my forums as they currently are: http://zimbabwe-today.com/forums/

Sorry to be the simple one here but I am really not seeing what I am supposed to do to get the sidebar in the forum. I installed BBpress WP Tweaks and added the BBpress login widget but I am not seeing anything. What am I supposed to do next? I created a bbpress.php file but I don’t see what code I should put in it that references the sidebar that I will be using. Is it some variation of this: <?php if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Page Sidebar’)): endif; ?>

Please let me know.

Thanks

I installed the BBPress plugin to use as a forum for Lost & Found. The only problem we have run into involves the search function of BBPress overriding the Search function we already have on our site. This function is very important to us as people search our faculty and staff and our large site constantly.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to delete or disable all search functions for bbpress so that our site continues to use the search functions that we setup.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Our website is http://daniels.du.edu

Eg as on this page – this is a link to http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/users/vicki/replies/page/2/ but it redirects to http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/users/vicki/replies/ Why does it redirect? I can’t figure it out.

I’m not sure quite how to start troubleshooting this. I’ve re-saved the permalinks and the profile on the top is just added via the bbp_template_before_user_details hook. I don’t know if the user topics have the same problem as no one’s started >50 topics.

It would actually be really helpful to know if this is just me or a bug but I don’t have anything set up to test it – this forum is BuddyPress and uses those user profiles, I think (BuddyPress works! I might start there).

Thanks!

Hi!

I’m searching for a bbproles field in the wordpress/bbpress database but with no luck. In wich table and row are they stored? What I want to do is create a form who change the user role if an “update user role code” facilitated by forum admin is correct.

Thank you very much in advance for your replies. 🙂

I want to add “border-bottom: 1px solid #F1F1F1” to bbpress widgets recent topics and recent replies. How do i do that?

Hi there,
I’m thinking of using bbpress to create a forum in my blog. For now it has to be very simple but in a few months I would like to create something with more features. My question is if I will be able to migrate everything (users database, forums…) to a different forum software?

Thank you very much! Any help will be appreciated!
