Where to register the users of a forum

Published on January 18th, 2016 by geekolyte

Hi, i just added a bbpress forum to my website. You have to be register to be able to post something(wich i want i don’t want anybody to be able to post something). But where do i have to register the new users? On the same database that my admin credidentials? Or do i have to create an other database? Right now anyone can register and already two people did it, wich i guess are bots because they did not post anything on the forum. So do i also have to change the login url to avoid this? Thanks

Plugin to restrict non-members from posting but not from viewing all posts

Published on January 17th, 2016 by Aryeh1

Is there any way I can restrict non-members from posting on my forum while still allowing them to view posts on all forums?

Cannot edit members’ posts even as an admin

Published on January 17th, 2016 by cassel

I am not sure what is happening or what is the issue, but i am asking in different places hoping one can help me.

I have bbpress installed with Headway Theme on a WP site.
Until recently, i was able to edit post from members but now, whenever i click on Edit or Move, i am just redirected to the Blog page. So i have no way to edit the posts to help the members who made errors in their posts.

Also, i noticed that whenever i click on any subsection of the forum, the BLOG appears active in the navigation menu. This has always been the case since i installed bbpress and although it is a minor annoyance, everything used to work correctly otherwise.

Any explanation why i can no longer edit? I am not sure if it is a bbpress issue, or a Headway issue (i posted on Headway too) or a WP issue.

Any idea?

Here is the link to the forum on my site:

Forums

I am using WP 4.4.1 and bbpress 2.5.8

Thank you.

Forums, Topics, and Replies not showing up on forum pages

Published on January 17th, 2016 by jmulakala

I’ve been stuck on this problem for a while now. We recently migrated our website from Rackspace to AWS hosting. Reinstalled wordpress, bbpress, and was able to migrate most of the site. Now I’m having problems with the Forums, Topics, and Replies.

On my forum page it shows the number of topic and replies, but when you click on it, it doesn’t show them, and on the topics you can click on, it won’t show the replies. I exported them using Tools>Export and exported Forums, Topics, and Replies, and imported them the same way, assigning them users. I can see every topic and reply in the wordpress panel, just not in my forums.

My forums can be seen here http://freeskies.co/forums/forums/.

This problem also affects new topics. When I create a new topic, it will remove all of these topics and posts and reset the count, even though i can still see them in the wordpress panel.

Closed topics at the end of list

Published on January 17th, 2016 by animal

I am trying to show the closed topics at the end of the list of topics, or saying it in a different way, to show first the new ones and then at the end the closed ones.

Have anyone any idea about how to do this?. I have spent the whole day on it and I could not find a way to get this done. So, I ask for help if someone thought about this before and can point me in a good direction.

Thank you.

Error with my custom theme

Published on January 17th, 2016 by BeePee

Hi everyone.

I recently made a theme for a client and this is the first time I’ve included bbpress. Bbpress works with the default themes, but not for my custom theme and I can’t seem to find any documentation around to fix this – I’m getting the “Error: Are you sure you want to do this?” message.

Is there a theme support option I need to enable or something?

Regards,

Aaron.

Width Problem on only Main Forum Page – Apostrophe Theme

Published on January 16th, 2016 by balllz

Everything is on top of each other (the width is greatly reduced and I only see a portion of the search field and button) in the forum only on its main page.

Snippet of what I think is the problem:

</head>

Through trial and error, the word responsible for the problem is in the body class and it’s “archive,” when I remove only this word, the main page of the forum looks fine.

Any thoughts on where to go to fix this problem? Not sure what file to edit.

Thanks.

Change size font size of forum

Published on January 16th, 2016 by gamersden

Hi guys,

I need some help, I want to change the size of the font on the forum I have just created on my website. I am not up with CSS but am willing to try if someone can guide me. I am currently using the egamer theme from elegant themes with wordpress V 4.4.1.

The page with my forums on it is: http://www.gamersden.com.au/forum/

The forum topic headers are too big in my opinion.

Thanks in advance

[Resolved] customizing root page

Published on January 15th, 2016 by ying-sun

oops! i think this had too many links when i originally tried to post it. let me try again.

i would like to know if it’s possible to customize the appearance of the root bbpress page. i want to show the forums in different thematically grouped sets. thanks to a brilliant solution i’ll link to in a reply, i’ve been able to make a page that looks the way i want it to:

but when i use the same exact shortcodes on the forums root page, it lists all of the forums in each of the blocks:

anyone have a solution?

if not, does anyone know if it’s possible to hack the breadcrumb so that the link to the “root” page actually points to the not-root page that displays correctly?

thanks so much!
