You can allow any role to be able to “moderate” entire forums by setting edit, lock, delete, sticky permissions, etc, but not per user unless you were to put each admin in a seperate role. I’m not planning on adding any new features to this plugin as I’m very busy with work and working on a rewritten premium version( which would eventually be available for free, modified) which’ll be much easier to add extensions/sub plugins/modifications to and have many more features at the core. * I’m sure we’ll be able to accomplish what you want to do several other ways though, let me know! * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] Forum Won't Show Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forum-wont-show-up/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forum-wont-show-up/#post-3538901) * Hey, * Is there a file called “wpbb-template.php” in your current theme folder? If there isn’t, you’ll just need to copy that file from the plugin’s folder to your theme folder and then it should work as normal. I think what’s happened is when you switched themes it wasn’t able to copy the file for you there automatically. * Please post back if it works for you or not! 🙂 * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] Make Private Per User](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-private-per-user/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-private-per-user/#post-3482341) * This isn’t currently possible I’m afraid. I won’t be adding any new features to this plugin as I’m working on a premium version of the plugin which when it comes out it would be possible for me or anyone else to create an extension for it with the features that you’ve requested. A few months down the road after the release of the premium version a free version of it will likely be released here, too. (Don’t worry, nothing will be lost, and you will be able to upgrade to the premium version very easily or when the free version of it is released you will be able to update it from the WP plugins menu the same way). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] You must Login or Register to be able to view the forum!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-must-login-or-register-to-be-able-to-view-the-forum/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-must-login-or-register-to-be-able-to-view-the-forum/#post-3477748) * Did you tick “Enable Guest Permissions” in Settings -> WPBB Settings? * Also, did you find a solution to your other problem?

That said there won’t be an update for a while, when there is the plugin will likely be using a rewritten version of the plugin and I’m still working on an idea where you can easily edit your css from your admin dashboard. * As for the images you could’ve also simply replaced it with your own one, that’s what I’ve seen many people do, especially easier for those who don’t know css. Again though, hopefully you’ll be able to easily change the image(s) from the admin dashboard or if one isn’t provided, use css instead. * Will mark this as resolved but feel free to open another topic if you have any other questions, problems, etc. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] Facebook "My App ID / API Key" fails when over 9 chars long](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-my-app-id-api-key-fails-when-over-9-chars-long/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-my-app-id-api-key-fails-when-over-9-chars-long/#post-3313820) * Hey athangeor, * Please try opening wp-content/plugins/wp-bulletin-board/php/admin/wpbb-admin- settings.php and around line 71 you’ll see: * ``` "$facebook_app_id = absint($_POST['wpbbfacebookappid']);" ``` * Please replace it with: * ``` if (ctype_digit($_POST['wpbbfacebookappid'])) { $facebook_app_id = $_POST['wpbbfacebookappid']; } else { $facebook_app_id = __('Enter your App ID / API Key', 'wp-bb'); } ``` * Please let me know if it works, will update the plugin 🙂 * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] Set up/Registration/General help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-upregistrationgeneral-help/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-upregistrationgeneral-help/#post-3469908) * Hey elamour, * To enable registrations you’ll just need to go to your admin dashboard -> Settings- > General -> Membership -> Tick “Anyone can register”. * Are you having a problem with those pages being blank or inaccessible in some other way e.g. an error? Is it the create category and create topic pages in the admin dashboard? * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] Who Are All These People???

WPBB only creates one role and that is one called “Guest” so that you can set permissions for guests. It just displays all the rest of your roles so that you can set permissions for them, too. You could try from your admin dashboard -> WPBB -> Tools -> Refresh Roles to remove any roles which you may not be using anymore but which haven’t been removed properly. * As for the ‘author’ and ‘contributor’ roles you mentioned… * These are WordPress’s default roles: * Subscriber (default role for new users) Contributor (can comment on posts) Author( can create own posts) Editor (can edit others posts) Administrator (the boss) * 🙂 Their exact capabilities depend on any plugins you have installed but that’s the main default difference. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] page broken!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/#post-3432151) * Hey, glad you got it working. * If you won’t be using any slashes you could try this for the time being: * Open wp-bulletin-board/php/admin/wpbb-admin-settings.php at around line 9 you’ll see: * ``` $maintenance_message = wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['wpbbmaintenancemessage']); ``` * Change to: * ``` $maintenance_message = stripslashes(wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['wpbbmaintenancemessage'])); ``` * You may need to copy the text inside the box, save then reenter it and save for it to remove the slashes from the current message 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] author name error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-name-error/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-name-error/#post-3438343) * Hey Dan, * Are you using the latest version? How long ago did you install it? Haven’t been able to replicate it myself (that ALWAYS happens ^^). Could you post here or email me a link to your WP site? If also possible, include a login with administrative privileges so that I can edit the plugin files and find the culprit? * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] page broken!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/#post-3432141) * I understand. * Upon looking at the screenshot again it looks like it’s trying to scan your wp- content/themes/martin/ folder for files and folders but the folder has insufficient permissions (doesn’t appear to be related to the plugin, but not sure). It’ll probably be easier to ask your host to chmod wp-content/themes/martin to 0755 and see if that works. If not let me know what web hosting control panel you’re using (cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc) I’ll then be able to tell you how to do it yourself. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Bulletin Board] page broken!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/) * Plugin Author [codebycarter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebycarter/) * (@codebycarter) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-broken-1/#post-3432090) * Hey saladgoat, * Could you email me an admin login so I could take a look at this for you?
