The notions about the fold and some other things finally got through me. I just changed things around further; requiring registration to see the content, among other things.

I really like how easy it was with BBpress to make these changes possible – literally less than 20mins. To make things show up only when a user is logged in, I used a bunch of these:

<?php

if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

include ‘path/to/include.php’;

}

else {

echo ‘ ‘;

}

?>

Thanks for the comments. I spent a good amount of time while I was designing this deciding how much I want to have above the fold. This article on Boxes and Arrows was what really did it for me, though: http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/blasting-the-myth-of

Thanks much! Finally got it working the way I want to. For everyone’s reference here’s how to do the separation:

Where the first one is going to go:

<?php

foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class();

post_text(); // Other variables, etc

array_shift($posts);

break;

endforeach;

?>

Then, where the rest of them are going to appear:

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class();

php bb_post_template();

endforeach; ?>

Thanks! 1st and 3rd things are resolved.

I’ve been trying hundreds of different things/syntaxes to get the second item to work, but to no avail yet. I’m sure it must be the way I’m trying to code it (Full disclosure: I’m still trying to learn PHP).

What I’m going for is as follows:

Run the foreach, and then using array_shift(), grab the first item in the array, and then display just the post_text() that is contained within that array (assuming this is an array within an array)

This what my code (stripped down) looks like:

INITIAL POST:

<? php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<?

php array_shift();

echo post_text();

?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

=====================================

and then later on, when the responses are displayed:

<? php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<?php echo post_text(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

I was hoping the first initial post wouldn’t be displayed since array_shift() would have taken it out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

This is something I’m looking for as well…
