Hi,

I have a private forum that users can access when they log in. People with participant roles are not able to see posts but they can when the user role is changed to moderator etc.

Is it something I am doing wrong?

Is there any way to delete the related activity stream comment when a post is deleted?

Thanks.

I am quiet new to this whole WordPress and bbPress world lol, but I am learning at a very quick pace. I have a blog-style page where my forum is located. Now two things first; Is there a way that I can add an image into the (i believe its called) menu sidebar area of the page my forum is on? Second; is there a way that I can permanently rewrite the forum background color at all to a black background or transparent? I have a black background on my website and then this white box appears with the forum in it. Hopefully pretty easy stuff to fix/or alter. Thanks ahead of time for all the help!

P.S. Must add that I’m doing this all in a sub-domain visible to only me. So at best I can only provide screen shots.

Hello!

I’m having some issues styling the buttons in the bbPress Topics/Forum section. My website contains a large amount of TinyMCE editors — some need specific styles and buttons. Assigning this was very easy to my custom editors, but I’m facing an issue when trying to customize the bbpress editor. None of the code I found in the forums seems to do anything to the buttons.

Here is a snipped of how I’m modifying my other editors. Since these are custom, Is easy to modify by just adding the parameters.

wp_editor(
    $options['callout_body'],
    'callout_body’, //ID OF EDITOR
    array(
        'textarea_name' => 'page_options_employer_guide_thrive_overview[callout_body]',
        'media_buttons' => false,
        'textarea_rows' => 8,
        'tabindex' => 4,
        'quicktags' => false,
        'tinymce' => array(
        'toolbar1'=> 'bold,italic',
        'toolbar2'=> '',
        'toolbar3'=> '',
        ),
    )
);

The buttons that I need displayed in the bbpress editor are different from any other custom post type or options page editor.

I’ve tried every snippet I could find in the forums with no luck, no change. I tried to hook to the examples and add filters, with no luck as well.

I hope I’m clear enough to what I’m trying to achieve.

Thanks

Hello! My website currently has a forum for ‘news’ and a forum for ‘other’.
I want my users only to be able to create topics under ‘other’, but not under ‘news’. I do want them to be able to reply to both topics made in ‘news’ and ‘other’.

I tried setting the ‘news’ forum status to closed, and the topics under there on open. But it still makes users unable to reply on them.
Any way I can achieve my goal? Maybe with the help of another plugin?

I’m currently using bbpress with buddypress and the free version of the theme Quest.
I’m running WordPress 4.4.2, bbpress 2.5.8, buddypress 1.9 and Quest 1.4.1 (which are all the latest versions at creation of this topic)

Thanks,
Jasper

Hello all. This may not be the best place for this thread, but since it involves bbPress then I am asking for any help. I am using bbPress with the s2Member membership plugin. In s2Member, when someone registers, their account is created, giving them the role of “Participant” in the forums. However, they still cannot access the forums because a subscription has not been created in s2Member. If I manually go in to a users profile and create the subscription, everything is fine. Has anyone experienced this? How can it be resolved so the subscription is created during signup?

Why any of replies or topic from participant must be confirmed from me? How can I change that?

What is the difference between bbpress/wordpress/joomla??

Hello. I’m trying to fix the structure with the forums and topics, which is really odd by default.

So viewing forums, the breadcrumbs and url looks something like:

/forums/forum-category-name/forum-name/

Which seems well and good. But as soon as I go to a topic, the URL changes to:

/topics/post-name/

and the breadcrumbs change to:

/topics/forum-category-name/forum-name/post-name/

This seems really strange. Is there a way that I can fix it so that it just continues with a more logical parent/child nesting structure in the url and breadcrumbs?

Ideally I’d like the url for viewing a topic to be:

/forums/forum-category-name/forum-name/post-name/

And the breadcrumbs to also be:

/forums/forum-category-name/forum-name/post-name/

It just makes a lot more sense and is easier to navigate. By default as soon as I click on a post to view it, I can no longer go back to the forum root from the breadcrumbs because the link is replaced with “topics” instead. It’s just a headache to get around this way.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Ok, here’s my dilemma. I have a corporate website and we are working on adding a forum. After working with bbPress for a couple of weeks I like what I see and have a good working shell, but as I get deeper I have some concerns with integrating a forum into my WordPress site versus completely stand-alone.

My question is, on a single host is there a way to have bbPress installed and totally separate from the main website. For example, current forum requests get added to my users within WordPress. While they get credentials to only have forum access and not WordPress access, it still concerns me that this is leaving open back doors for smart hackers to sneak in to my WordPress administration. I had to install some bbPress code in my functions file to stop non-administrator profiles from seeing the WordPress main menu at the top of the forum. This just seems too loose, as if hiding it with code really stops someone that knows what they are looking for from finding it.

With that, in having to add code such as this I subsequently shut down my entire site due to adding code the functions.php file that it didn’t like. Not a good situation for me. So, my second and really primary question is how I can have a forum administered in WordPress but totally separate from my main website. What I feel this gives me is 1) totally separate sites where my forum user profiles are not intermingled with my WordPress corporate site administrators and 2) a separate place where I can make site changes that I know only impact the forum and not the main site at all, so if I hose the forum temporarily it’s not as big of a crisis as if I shut down our entire web presence.

Can this be done on the same host where I have a subdomain and a separate WordPresss login for the forum as if the main website didn’t exist, or am I better off just having these creates separately under truly separate hosts and just pointing a URL on the corporate site’s menu to the stand-along forum that’s on the separate host and managed as a totally independent website?

I appreciate your suggestions.
