Problems with permissions?

Published on October 19th, 2016 by maegras

Hi all i’m new to bbpress. I read lot of docs but i was unable to solve this issue

I’m setting up a forum for my website, i installed bbpress, created a forum, created a page with bbpres shortcode and now i’m able to see forum root clicking on the link in menu.

I can create discussions from backend but when i try to create a new topic from frontend, logged in as admin, i got “you don’t have permission to post”.

How could it be?

Allow Moderators to Post in Closed Forums

Published on October 19th, 2016 by semperaye

I was wondering if there was a setting that allowed moderators to post in closed forums? When admins log in to a closed forum they see this:

“This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.”

I would like to extend this and only this to my moderators as well.

Thanx!

Make forum read-only for non-logged-in visitors

Published on October 19th, 2016 by Steve

I want non-logged in users to be able to read the forum but not post to it.

I want them to become members to post to the forum. I am using buddypress and paid membership pro.

Does it default to this, or do I have to set this up? How?

Thanks.

How do I sort the order of the topics in the forum? Right now it is alphabetical. I want to rearrange it.

Thanks.

Posting permissions

Published on October 18th, 2016 by jimandms

I have a question about permissions. I have a forum, general, that I do not want people to post to. But I do have two topics in the forum that I DO want people to post to. Basically I do not want them posting in the root of the forum just to the topics it contains.

So I set the permissions for the forum where nobody has permission to post there and by doing that they cannot post to the topics even though I selected discussion in the page settings.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this that I am just missing?

Thanks!

Jim

So I recently managed to get my forum to display just a list of topics on the main forums(/forums) page but how do I display reply count for each topic right beside it?

threaded reply author-content layout

Published on October 17th, 2016 by mrtylershin31

Hi, I’m pretty new to everything and I’ve been pretty much enjoying the first couple of days.
One thing that I’m trying to accomplish with bbpress is in the threaded replies section and its’ layout.

this is how a new topic currently looks – it keeps the author avatar separate from the content(this is mainly in order to maintain a decent readability-level on mobile devices)

The reply section also behaves the same until I enable threaded replies but
when threaded replies is enabled, it loses that layout(probably because of how my bbpress css is currently setup)

I would like some help to achieve the same ‘author-content-separated’ layout in the threaded replies.

I hope I have given enough detail for everyone to understand my situation 🙂
I’m currently using all the latest versions of everything.
My theme is twenty-fourteen and I am working with a child theme

Comment in Forum is being posted multiple time

Published on October 17th, 2016 by Meet Shah

Hi there,

In Forum, when I click Submit multiple times together after typing my comment, it posts my comment multiple times. So it should be something Facebook that button will not take action till the message is posted.

I am using WP 4.6 with KLEO theme.

I have created this video to replicate the issue.

add user role “no role for this forum” to wordpress user settings

Published on October 17th, 2016 by haddlyapis

Hi,
We have made it so that all spambots who sign up to the bbp forum automatically get the role “no user role for this forum” (translated from German).
The thing is, when i go to my wordpress “user” settings, they are all under the “subscriber” role. As are all the real forum users.
I would like to have an option at the top to select just the “no role” users, so that i can bulk delete them all.
How do i do this?
thx.
btw, i dont want to install a wp-admin hide plugin as these have conflicted with our theme, and therefore i have to deactivate them.
