In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] Subscribers images not displayingHi Kris,
This sounds very unusual. I’d like to take a look at your website so that I can test and debug. Would that be ok?
If you’re not comfortable sharing the URL publicly on this forum, you can submit a support ticket on our website since you are a pro subscriber.
Thanks,
MattHi There,
To display just a login form, you can use the
[discussion_board_login_only]shortcode. We currently do not have one just for registration, but you could use a plugin like this for a custom registration form: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/For a captcha, we recommend: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-captcha/
Hope this helps,

In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] field name and email are missingHi there,
As mentioned, unfortunately only users can create topics and replies. They need to register before a person can use the forum.
Thanks,

In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] field name and email are missingHi there,
Glad to have you using our plugin! 🙂
Only registered users are able to start topics and reply to topics. Therefore, the name and email field are not required as they are added when a user registers for the forum.
The link you provided is not valid. Could you send me a link to your forum so that I can see what is happening on your side?
The functionality of having only user being able to post and reply can be overwritten using code, but then you will need to overwrite the reply/comment form.

Hi zcream,
Our login/registration page is integrated with the WordPress user system. You can have users view the discussion forum, but to post, you will need your users to create an account (either through our form or any other WordPress user registration form/plugin).
> Basically I want all users to view the forums and only registered users to post on forum. Registration will only involve email verification.
Yep, this is definitely possible with our settings.
Thanks,
MattHi Stephen,
Our current permissions are set on a “poster” level (which includes topics/replies) and “viewer” level. On the Pro version, it can be set at the board level as well.
Your request is a use case for user permissions that has not been requested by any of our users yet, but I will now add it to our feature list to be worked on in an upcoming version.
For now, I’d recommend hiding the “new topic” page. That way, no one will find it in the navigation etc and should prevent users from posting. You can also set topics to be moderated, so that no new posts get created and slip through the cracks in case someone does find the new topic page. Lastly, you could also make this page a private page, so only you can access it.
Hope this helps!
MattHi Brendan,
Ah good catch! I will need to look in to that to see if that is possible. I will do have a look at that for the next version to see if we can include a fix.
Long term, we’re looking to improve moderation and the UI overall. My personal opinion is that approving topics and replies should happen on the frontend of the site, on the topic itself, so that the experience is more visual (with the ability to still moderate from the backend as well). Hoping to have these kind of improvements roll out over the next few months.
Cheers,
MattHi Brendan,
Really glad you like the plugin! If you’re willing, we’d love a review as it really helps us grow (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-discussion-board/reviews/#new-post).
Regardless! I’ve just released version 2.4.2 which includes support for oEmbed on replies. Could you check it out and let me know if you have any issues? I’ve successfully been able to embed YouTube, Instagram etc on my own forum.
Thanks!
MattHi Brendan,
Right now, the only way to embed a video is though using the media editor with the Pro version of the plugin.
However you could enable this plugin which would allow embeds in comments: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/oembed-in-comments/
I do think this would be a really valuable feature for the plugin and is actually quite a simple thing to build. So I will release it in the next free version update (likely the end of this week).
Thanks for the suggestion.
MattHi there,
Under the Discussion Board Settings in the WP Admin, go to User and then Permitted Poster Roles. Make sure all the roles are not selected and the topics will be visible to everyone.
Thanks,

In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] How to additional fieldHi,
This is the support forum for WP Discussion Board. Your question I believe should be directed to the Forminator team as our plugin is only for adding a message board to your site.

In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] HTML Plugin ConverterHi there,
This is the support forum for the WP Discussion Board plugin. I believe you’re looking for general WordPress support. You can access the WordPress support forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Thanks,
MattNo worries.
Are you still currently unable to access the admin? I’m struggling to replicate the issue. Is it only for admin users?
I registered an account and could login as expected without getting redirected.
Our plugin login form would only support 2 factor auth with some customization. We don’t support it by default.
Thanks,

In reply to: [Discussion Board - WordPress Forum Plugin] Change /discussion-topics/ URLHi there,
Currently, the only way to do this is to use a filter in your theme. You would need to filter the custom post type arguments using a filter like this: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/register_post_type_args/
We’re currently working hard on version 3.0 of the plugin which will include much more flexibility in terms of URL structure and changing the defaults. We’re hoping for a release end of June.
Thanks,
MattMarking this as resolved as I have not seen a response. If you still require help, please do reach out.
Thanks
