Hi,

I could put together a simple script that when you visit a certain page it will display an RSS feed of your forums. What data do you want to display in the feed exactly? Just the latest topics and posts? Since you probably won’t want to have to manually update the RSS feed yourself. If you want to do that though, you can easily create an RSS feed and enter the data yourself. There are lots of free services that can do this such as http://www.rsspect.com/ but I’ll assume you want the RSS feed updated automatically.

The reason for this not working with the plugin is because although all WordPress pages, posts, etc can be displayed in an RSS feed the plugin is in all one page and none of the content has been setup to be displayed by any RSS reader.

It sure is. You’ll need to edit it in different places if you want it to appear on the forum index, forum or subforum view and topic or subforum topic view. What you could do is this:

In wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-functions.php at the bottom of the file before ?> add:

function wpbb_display_google_ads()
{
    ?>
    /* Enter the HTML here */
    <?php
}

Hey iempoweru,

If the permissions aren’t saving correctly when you create or edit a forum or subforum then please try from your admin dashboard -> WPBB -> Tools -> Refresh Roles.

It should work if you don’t want your subscribers to view a forum, did you set any permissions for them at all? I’d try to uncheck all permissions for subscribers. Do your users have more than 1 role? Because it they do, if that other role has permission they will have permission.

Also if you have denied a role access to a forum, they will still be able to see it and look inside the forum but they won’t be able to view or create any topics.

Will be introducing a new permission in a future update so that you can stop permissions seeing / viewing inside a forum entirely.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with 🙂

Thanks

Yes sorry about that. Happens when another plugin is using the same position in the menu as WPBB. If you don’t know how to do this or need help please feel free to email me an admin login and I’ll be happy to do it for you. (me@codebycarter.com or skype codebycarter).

Please open wp-bulletin-board/wp-bb.php at line 435 and find:

add_menu_page('WPBB Overview', 'WPBB', 'manage_options', 'wpbb_admin', 'wpbb_admin_display', '', 27.7);

Change to:

add_menu_page('WPBB Overview', 'WPBB', 'manage_options', 'wpbb_admin', 'wpbb_admin_display', '', '27.7');

If that doesn’t work, try a different number until it appears in the menu. For example:

add_menu_page('WPBB Overview', 'WPBB', 'manage_options', 'wpbb_admin', 'wpbb_admin_display', '', 28);

Thanks!

Hey,

Yes sorry about that. I’ll make sure it only affects the forum in the next version. Please open wp-bulletin-board/css/wpbb-light-style.css or wpbb-dark-style.css.

Find and remove:

/* Links */
a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#0066CC;
}
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks.

Well, it’s not broken. From what I could gather from your post I think that the template file hasn’t been copied to your theme directory. This has been answered numerous times on this forum. You’ll have to copy wp-bulletin-board/wpbb-template.php to your current theme folder. You’re right about that though, it won’t change the name of the page that it utilizes. You’ll just have to manually change the name of the page from the Pages page.

Hey Gegeadmin2,

Sorry I’ve been away over the Christmas break so wasn’t able to help you with this. You’re right WPBB isn’t “officially” compatible with multisite. It will run fine just like on a non multisite wordpress site. But if want a forum for each of your sites and to be able to control them as a network admin you won’t be able to, atleast not through wordpress. There is no multisite functionality yet. I’m hoping to make it compatible soon, it’s quite complex so still figuring out the best way to go about doing it.

Thanks, let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
