Forum root confusion

Published on January 28th, 2014 by gastronomicslc

Hi all.

My apologies if this is a fairly rudimentary query, or one covered elsewhere, I did search but managed to only confuse myself more 😉

My site is:
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/

Running latest WP and a Genesis based theme from Studiopress. I installed bbPress but am having issues generating a coherent main page, I guess the forum root if you will. I followed the install instructions and made my forum root slug (foodie-talk), I also then made the foodie-talk page, however that doesn’t seem to work:

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/

I have created two test sub-forums

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/general-talk/
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/ask-expert/

with a test post in each. I have yet to link to the bbPRess directly from my site while I work on this. On the foodie-talk page I have the

code right now.

I imagine I have made some simpleton fault, appreciate anyone pointing it out 🙂

Next/Previous Topic link function

Published on January 28th, 2014 by Prometheus Fire

In BBPress, is there an equivalent to WP’s next_post_link() and previous_post_link() functions to create navigation to the next topic?

Reference:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link
https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link

If not, can anyone think of a custom way to create one, or do something similar?

Forum format not showing

Published on January 28th, 2014 by cameliafr

Hello my forum format is not showing anyomore http://www.wha2wear.com/forum/ I’m not sure if this happened before the update or right after, but all I can see is a bullet list… It used to work perfect with this theme so I don’t think there’s a conflict there, I’ve tried deactivating plugins and still nothing…could someone give me a hand please? I’m a bit lost…thanks!

Can I get a coder to add registration fields?

Published on January 28th, 2014 by Kris35

Hi. Is there a way to add mandatory custom fields in the BBPress registering process? I did get someone to add a text field for the location but it wasn’t mandatory and for the UK, they were adding variations like England, Britain etc so in my user directory and search, people looking for people in the UK would only find people in the UK and not in England or the United Kingdom etc. So I had to go and edit their profiles to say United Kindom so they would come up in the search. Sooo…what I really need is not a text field but a drop down or other thingy where new members have to choose where they are from from the options they are given. So I need a list of all countries and then for now, a list for US states and UK counties. I have a coder to do this for me (Ive not got a clue)….is it possible to do this by configuring BBpress or is a custom code thingy needed? If I can do it, I will show it here maybe so others can see?

Conflict with qTranslate

Published on January 28th, 2014 by barnabe

Hi all,

I try to make a multilingual website with WordPress and I have a bug (?) when I activate bbPress and qTranslate both.
Indeed, the bbPress’ menu in admin appears correctly when qTranslate is disabled, but disappears when both are activated. And if I try to go to the edit topic’s page, WordPress says to me I don’t have rights. I debug the allcaps WP_User property and I don’t find the edit_topics capability.

How can I fix that problem?

Subsidiary question: Does bbPress allow multilingual?

My config :

– WordPress 3.8.1 (last)
– bbPress 2.5.3 (last)
– qTranslate 2.5.39 (last)

Thanks!

user profile confidentiality

Published on January 28th, 2014 by beaulahsmithzeiler

Hi guys. I think I know the answer here but feel much more assured if I can get confirmation from you pro’s on this! 🙂 can one forum member see another member’s profile info? Except for the username that is displayed with posts. I am busy with my website privacy policy and just need to make sure I am on the right track here. As far as I can see, when you are logged in as one user and click on another users’ profile, only their favourites, subscriptions, topics started, etc is visible. Am I right here? 🙂
