Just a few bbPress Questions

Published on July 27th, 2017 by CucumberandCompany

– WordPress Version: 4.8
– bbPress Version: 2.5.13
– Forum URL: HotRodForums.net

– I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down below the content of the post, and was wondering what theme template I would need to modify for that.

– Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post? We’re wanting to move the post date over to the main box, and have the author’s join date where that was.

I know you all don’t do custom work, so we’re just looking into being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you for your time!

Heavy Forum Index vs Multisite

Published on July 27th, 2017 by lulukala

So in my thorough research regarding bbPress I’ve discovered many run into problems of a very sluggish system when the Forum Index gets too heavy. By that I mean when the bbPress installation gets loaded with too many categories and forums and subforums and such.

Is this resolved in the current RC?

If not, does using Multisite to create several smaller independent boards on their respective sites [rather than one massive board] create a smoother response?

Plugin needs connection from server to API?

Published on July 26th, 2017 by locutus1

I’m trying to set up a forum. Other people have posted here that they have had the error that I’m getting:

“Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.”

People on this forum say it’s a server issue and to contact the host. I tried that and was asked “Is this a plugin which requires outgoing connection from the server to it’s API?”. I don’t understand the question which may have been the point. Support at my host might be trying to get rid of me by asking a question that they assume I can’t answer. So I’m here to try and get an answer. Can anyone answer the question? A simple “yes” or “no” won’t be enough. I need an answer with some details so I have something helpful to give my host. Thanks.

Forum Permissions

WordPress Version: 4.8
bbPress Version: 2.5.13
Site Address: https://www.explodingbush.net

Hello,

Recently, I started using bbPress and it’s been fantastic so far. One of the things I’ve been trying to complete was an announcement/important information forum. I want to let users read the topics and comment, but not post anything on this specific forum. I have other forums where I want the users to have access to posting topics.
I’m not sure if this is possible or if it was brought up in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My best,
Matt
