Change reply author on edit?

Published on July 10th, 2016 by Kineta

Anyway to do this on the edit form?

For moderating posts we want to change the reply author to 0, so the person can’t re-edit the post.

Hi all
this is my (new) website: http://psychiatryadvice.com

When someone attempts to submit a new topic the following message occurs:

ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time.

Under settings>discussion I do not have any words in the blacklist or comment moderation. I also disabled the most recent plugin I installed (btw creating new topics was no problem after I initially installed this plugin).

Any advice how to fix this please?
Thanks!

Migrating from a Drupal site to wordpress site

Published on July 10th, 2016 by veerendradarakh

Greetings all ye WordPress gurus,
This is pertaining to the site www.dentistrytoday.info ( made in drupal 6.34 )

Drupal 6.34 is now outdated. Support for Drupal 6 has been withdrawn and furthermore drupal development is expensive.

So I have decided to migrate the forums from drupal to some other CMS. I also want to move away from Drupal since I find Drupal development is expensive.

To migrate the site from drupal to some other CMS I have some queries.

My queries to this esteemed forum.
1. Which CMS is the best for a discussion forum?
2. I want to migrate to a CMS which is easy to use, mobile friendly, responsive and easy to modify and refine.
3. Plenty of developers must be available for the forums for that particular CMS so that maintaining, refining and upgrading the forums can be done at a reasonable cost.
4. The CMS must get updated automatically. Will the phbBB forum get updated automatically? I am told that wordpress sites get updated automatically. Will the forums made in wordpress get updated automatically?
5. We want conduct all activities on the forum that are usually done on educational sites like webinars, email newsletters, email newsletters with case presentations, blogs etc.
6. If we migrate it to wordpress forums what kind of security precautions shoud I take, pre and post migration. I am told that wordpress sites are more vulnerable to hacking than Drupal sites.
7. Besides the forums must be secure and if possible I want to have the registration form without a captcha challenge.
8. My staff must be able to take offline and online backups of the site easily.
9. Can wordpress forum can support forums of bigger sizes (80,000 forum articles and 30,000 users). Also which plugins will be better for users and forums so that their updation does not affect the live site once it is launched.

Hope to see a lot of responses and many thanks in advance for the same.

Regards,
Dr. Veerendra Darakh

How do I show the user’s latest thread on their dashboard?

Published on July 10th, 2016 by allancaeg

For my users, the main focus of their bbPress membership site is their latest posted thread.

How do I show on their dashboard the details of their latest thread? Preferably with 1) the first post 2), 3) the latest post, and 4) field to post an update to this topic.

out while still retaining the subscription functionality?

Handling trashed replies in treaded reply forums

Published on July 9th, 2016 by Kineta

Does anyone have a solution for handling trashed replies in threaded forums? When a reply is trashed it moves any nested replies to the bottom of the forum. I would like to create a message to replace the post being deleted so that any subsequent posts stay in their place in the thread.

I’m thinking either a new custom button that would add post metadata that gets queried in content-single-reply or somehow make the trash function behave differently.

If anyone has dealt with this issue and come up with a solution I’d be grateful to hear how you did it.

Topic tags deleted by other participants

Published on July 9th, 2016 by roshansachan

I am running bbpress(Version 2.5.9) + buddypress(Version 2.5.3) on wordpress version > 4.5.1.
In bbpress there are users with Forum Role as Participant and site role as Participant. I have observed that any participant can delete tags created by any other participant. For example if participant-A creates a topic-A with tag-a, when participant-B replies to Topic-A, then participant-B can see tag-a created by participant-A in tag input field and if participant-B removes it from the input field and submits the reply then tag-a is deleted from Topic-A. I this behaviour normal. I . Any help will be great as I have been trying but could not find any reference to this use case.
