How to get topic ID by reply ID ? What is the function ?

Hey there guys. I am completely new to WP but, as far as I have figured out, this is a pretty perspective platform for my particular purposes. I am planning to open online interactive tutorial basing upon my Bitcoin-devoted site, its main mission is (the site is in Russian right now, but in a few days I’ll be adding an English version). We’re now developing a mobile app as well, but it will be deployed a bit later. The site is now in its earlier backed-up version, and I am explaining why.

A friend of mine did all the job and, basing on WP (i don’t know which version it was), he made a move from our CMS to WP. Yesterday I have made an extreme mistake and now the whole site is gone. As far as I had an old version of it backed up (on the old CMS), i have restored the one, but I need the WP version (lots of Bitcoin earning features were attached to it) Now I have no connection with that drupal-bitcoin-enthusiast guy, bit I need badly to restore the new version of the site. But what should I start with to implement this? I understand this is a dumb question, but I am reading manuals right now and I can’t find an answer for that. Please explain me what should my steps be. Thanks in advance.

I created a WordPress page with the name “Diskusjon” and changed the root of bbPress to be this in the settings. Now bbp-single-forum shortcode won’t work. It just shows the forum index, something I tried to avoid by creating this standalone page as root. Any tips?

Hi!

This is how I’m looking to structure my /forums page. Any tips? Can I create my own front page/template file, or would I have to edit content-archive-forum.php?

I notice it’s pretty much exactly like an individual forum/category page, though I want this on the home page, with all categories. The default front page (content-archive-forum.php) doesn’t give enough info about the forums as it is, and is just too compact and small.

Hello,

Perhaps I just haven’t read enough about the forums feature, but where I’ve been looking for answers isn’t helping.

First of all, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make the forums invisible to the general public. I have a membership site with elementary-aged students; I can NOT have the forums visible to the general public. Is there something I’m missing about how to make that happen? For everything else on my site, the fact that I put that that the content is protected and the membership level works; this is visible to EVERYBODY. My understanding is that if I put private or hidden, only I can see it, correct? What do I need to do to make this forum only visible to site members?

Then there’s the actual member issue: It’s telling my site members that they have to be logged in to post. Well, not only should they not be able to see the forum if they’re not logged in (they can), but they are already logged in when they access the link, so why is it saying that they have to log in? Do they specifically need a WordPress account? Does their account with my site not do the trick?

My site is updated to the latest WordPress version and I’m using the Spacious theme.

Hi,

we have been using bbpress for a couple of months, but since a few days we are having the problem that participants can´t see topics in the forum any more. When a participant loggs on, they get the message that “this forum has 7 topics and 58 replies” but also “No topics could be found!”.

Moderators and administrators do not have that problem when they log on….all topis are visible then.

How can this problem be solved, please?

Best regards,
Sonja

Hi there,

I am using the shortcode for registration, on my registration page:

The issue I’m having is that when folk create an account, they set an username and email, but are not sent a password in the email (and/or also not made to create a password)?

This means that they have to go to the ‘lost password’ link to get their account activated? This doesn’t seem like a streamlined workflow? is there anything I can do to avoid this?

Cheers

Hello, I would like instalation bbpress in my blog, I have bbpress instalation already, and I created 3 forums, well, now I would like to create one options in my menu with the name forum and if you click there go directly to my forums.
the thinking is I can put all my foros inside the foro/menu, if I go apparience – menu, select the forums and put inside the menu, my forums appeare in the menu but with individual options.

How can I create one options in the menu with the name Forum and put inside al of them.

regards

I’ve recently migrated a couple of websites to WP Multisite and am now using bbPress on various multisite sub-sites. The issue I’m reporting may be specific to multisite, or it may be a new bug after the recent change to WP 4.3 (I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 and WP 4.3).

Context:
On the “Edit Topic” screen, there’s an “Author Information” box including an ID field. When you begin to type text into this box, the admin-ajax action “bbp_suggest_user” should auto-suggest potentially matching users.

Issue:
The user autosuggest is not returning any users, just “-1”. Having dug into the code, the step that’s failing is wp_verify_nonce() in check_ajax_referrer(), which is invoked on line 745 of bbPress file includes/admin/admin.php. The nonce is making it into wp_verify_nonce, but is not matching any expected/acceptable value – so wp_verify_nonce falls out the bottom with a failure.

If I remove the check_ajax_referrer step, the Edit Topic user auto-suggestion works perfectly so it’s definitely the nonce validation step that’s the problem.

Also, I’m NOT using any caching plugin on these sites, and the error exists whether the site uses https or not. It also continues to exist if I disable Wordfence.
