Hi there, recently I have the problem that I cannot access my forum. Eventhogh I am logged in via wp-admin I get the message that I don’t have the right to view this forum.

I’m using the bbpress plugin version 2.5.9

Hi – on mylogin page in which I’m using the bbpress shortcode to generate the login box, when someone enters the wrong username or password they are redirected to the admin wordpress login. Not only do I not want it to be redirected there, that does make the site secure at all. Can you please advise on how to prevent this from happening so user is never sent to the wp admin login? thank you.

Dear All,,

I have recently started a new website. To create a forum, I had installed wordpress and buddypress. However, in the forum registered users whose role is set as “particpant” are unable to create or even view new topics. Through the dashboard when they are trying to view the existing topics it is giving the following message.

You are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.

However, when I changed the user role to moderator or keymaster, the user is able to see the topics posted in the forum. I have seen similar question posted by others in the forum and most of the problems seemed to be about the plugin conflicts. Besides Buddypress & bbpress, I have only Beaver Builder Plugin (Lite Version) & Contact Form 7. I have tried deactivating both plugins but the situation does not change.

Another possibility I have read is that it could be the problem with theme. I am using Tesseract 2 theme. I haven’t checked the theme conflict issue as I am not sure if I can change my theme temporarily to something else (say, twenty sixteen) can I get back my original layout once I change it back to Tesseract 2.

Looking forward to replies.

Forgive me for the amount of information in this post, but I could really use some pointers here.

I am redesigning a website on my local drive for a club which has paid membership. Their current website has forums that are running on Simple Machines 1.1.1. My solution was to move everything to WordPress and bbPress. But I want to make sure I am doing this in the most careful and streamlined way. This is where my questions begin.

Locally, I am running WordPress 4.5.2. My theme is a custom Traverse theme which is also a Builder theme from iThemes. bbPress The look and feel is working fine. I created the forums with topics from scratch as I found no way to really migrate Simple Machines to bbPress. So the basics are there, but now I need to find a process for users and memberships. The forums are public, but only members can post and/or reply. Membership goes through a Gravity Form.

I’m using Gravity Forms to create a membership form for new members. This also uses the User Registration add-on which hopefully will add the user as they signup and submit payment via the Paypal add-on. However, an admin will need to update/approve the user registration to “participant” so that the new user can post in the bbPress forums (and hide the WordPress menu).

For current club members, I anticipate that I will need to wait until I launch the website, then manually add every user from a list of email addresses and names. This will kick off an email to the user that they have an account and can login. Time consuming, but I can’t think of any other way to do this.

Another concern I have is how do these users who I enter manually renew membership? Since they are basically being manually added, they are bypassing the new membership form which will be used for new members. Actually, I have a concern with new members as well since membership is only for 1 year, how do I/admins handle alerting users to renew their membership? Perhaps I need a new “Renew” form which would bypass new user creation.

I realise this post probably crosses over several topics and plugins and for that I apologize. Some of these questions are probably better suited for posting in Gravity Forms support forums. But any help or advice, I would greatly appreciate.

Everytime time I try to click on Login/Register url is “#login-form”.

Only dims the page like a lightbox is going to display but nothing shows.

So, really, I have a two-part question. First, I’d like to add some new roles. I’ve read and looked all over the place without any real answer. I know what codes to use per the documentation. That said, I’m not sure which file to place them in and that’s the part I can’t find definitive answers on. If someone could direct me which directory and file to add it to that’d be great. I already know not to do it to the BBpress core files.

Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?

User editing is set to about a week. But if a post needs to be moderated is there a way to remove the user editing permission after the moderator has made changes?

Or even better, a way to replace a deleted post with some sort of placeholder so any replies keep their place in the nested thread (right now any replies to a deleted post get pushed to the bottom of the thread)?

I was wondering if anyone might have tried (and succeeded) in adding an additional item into the current breadcrumbs?

Specifically, I would like to add an item after the “Home Page”, but before “Forums”, in order to correctly reflect my site hierarchy. Example is that I have a Support menu item, from which the Forums are accessible as a child, as are links for “FAQs” and “Documentation”. “Support” is a physical page, but I want that page to be a part of the breadcrumb trail.

So, instead of “Home > Forums > …”, I want it to be “Home > Support > Forums > …”. I have seen examples on how to modify/replace just “Home”, but I would prefer to keep the hierarchy intact, if possible.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

It seems that links do not show up in emails.

Is there a setting or way to show links in emails?

Hello,

I am trying to get the Recent Topics widget to dynamically display the recent topics on a specific forum based on the Group they are in. I know it currently allows me to put in a parent forum ID, but that does not allow it to be dynamic based on the user. I also tried Dynamic Widgets plugin but it is not really a sustainable model either considering there would be potentially be many groups on my website.

I’m new to programming, so is there a plugin already that does something similar? Or how would I go about adding the reference lookup to obtain the user’s bp group(s), the forum tied to that bp group(s), and then display the recent 5-10 topics?

Thanks!
