Hey @dozza, @robin-w, @cliffrohde,

Good work by the sounds of things. I’ll revisit this on my client site and report back.

Cheers,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks @robin-w

Sorry will consider more carefully what I post in future.

Cheers Robin 👍

Hi Robin,

Sorry for slow reply, just picking this up again.

So, I see what you are saying but it is this page where I need to inject the content:-

I think what you are saying is, it will add a description into the individual forums.

So, I tried your suggestion and set up a custom page, with the shortcode in WordPress default editor as it wouldn’t work with Divi! Added the text above, does the trick.

Thanks for your help,
Ollie

Thanks Robin,

I already had bbp style pack and have located item 6.

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in then content section – so you can put the link in there.. this I can’t locate?

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks Robin,

I thought that for some reason I was unable to use shortcodes in my particular situation but the project has been a long build and I have forgotten why! Will have a fresh look.

Thank you,
Ollie

Adding link: https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forum/

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry yes it has!

Thank you, had some code in the wrong place in the functions file.

Appreciate your help Robin 🙂

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 9 months ago]

Thank you Robin,

I have added the code in my child theme functions.php file.

It hasn’t changed the page title though. Any further suggestions?

Thanks,
Ollie

Hi Robin,

That works great for the user profile links, thank you. I am hoping that Divi will provide a fix soon, they are aware and it is with their devs so we will see what happens with future releases but this is a great workaround in the meantime and I hid the search form.

Thanks very much,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Would it be possible to make the link on user profile null, ie show the username still but disable the link?

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Hi Robin,
That was meant for @jcarrest to chase Divi!

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Hi,
Divi have no immediate plans to resolve this leaving me in a difficult situation. I would highly recommend that you contact and put some further pressure on Divi to resolve this.
Best,
Ollie

Here is it without the title banners. Tbh, I don’t even know why the banners were there before. I have had Covid this week while trying to work so not ideal!

Can you offer any assistance in how to ‘inject’ these title banners into the layout? Before I tell the client they can’t have them!

Many thanks,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

OK so this is what I got back this time from Elegant Themes (Divi), more promising:-

Hi Ollie 👋
I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, it is a known bug at the moment that the template does not work on the bbpress profile pages. Our dev team is aware of the issue and will fix it in future theme updates. 👍

So, please be advised at the current time bbPress does not work fully with Divi theme. I have asked when the fix will be and will advise as soon as I hear something firm.

Best,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Just had another look. I’ll let them finish before I take this any further but I will report bak on this. Many thanks

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks Robin,

I had someone looking at it for me! Looks like they have been successful.

Some good news on this, at last 🙂

Thanks for looking, sorry if I wasted your time.

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

I’ve referred exact same message to Divi and will report back.

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Hi Robin,

I have tried Divi support. I spent hours with different agents last week!

I guess I’ll try again.

Thanks,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Hi Robin,

It turns out the client would like the sidebar to show Tags, recent posts etc

I have tried to set this up with widgets but it doesn’t show.

I am concerned that bbPress won’t work with Divi Builder. I was hoping to create Divi templates for the forum so that i can keep the look the same as the rest of the site.

I have a list of questions building up and wondered should I ask you or create new topics for each?

Thank you,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks Robin, will take a look through the article.

All the best,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Hello Robin,

Me again! We have come back to bbPress as after testing BuddyPress the client has decided this is more effective for their purpose.

Please can you let me know the best way to remove the sidebar from the forum pages? I found some old articles but nothing very recent. I am using DIVI theme if that helps.

Here is the forum so far – https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/

Many thanks,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Okay, great work!

So, do I need to install bbPress separately.I assumed perhaps wrongly that BuddyPress also is a forum?

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thank you, and just one more question..

Am I right in thinking I need bbPress for the forum part of BuddyPress?

I am currently looking at using groups for topics but it is not quite the same.

I’ll do some digging online as well but just wanted to ask your opinion.

Many thanks,
Ollie

[@ollietubb1 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

It worked!

Thanks so much for your help, I wouldn’t have got to this point without you 🙂
