yes they work fine together, but in

dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>theme support> make sure that ‘No theme support’ is selected

[@robin-w Moderator 6 days, 10 hours ago]

try

bbp style pack

Loads of styling changes and features

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 2 days ago]

great – glad you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 3 days ago]

ok, we need to make you a keymaster

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Bug Fixes.

you will see an option to set yourself as keymaster, tick that and click save

you will then see that you are a keymaster, and should now be able to see the forums in dashboard>forums

Once you can see this you can decativate and delete the style pack plugin

then in dashboard>forums you can close the forum

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 4 days ago]

so we’re back to you needing to close the forum in

dashboard>forums

If you are not seeing this, then can you go to

dashboard>users and look at users, you should see that at least one has ‘keymaster’ as a bbpress role – do you see this?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 4 days ago]

I’m presuming that someone else put this site together then?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 4 days ago]

so depending o your exact setup, so if you go into

dashboard>appearance>widgets you should see an option for a sidebar, in which you will see the bbpress login widget, just remove that.

Then in

dashboard>forums>all forums>edit forum you can close the forums.

You would be better asking this at buddypress support

https://buddypress.org/support/

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 3 days ago]

As a test, can you try

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_reply_count', 'rew_return_int', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_return_int ($replies, $topic_id ) {
return int($replies) ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

and let me know if it works

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 4 days ago]

either

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Topic/Reply Order>replies>Descending and tick and save

or

add_filter ('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'rew_true') ;

function rew_true () {
	return true ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 4 days ago]

ignore that – I’ve just taken a look and seen how to do it

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 4 days ago]

ok, not having played with the BBpress for block theme which is what I suspect you are using :

what exactly did you add to the template, can you post before and after code for this please as it will help others

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

hey no problem, I will see if Webmandesign can help here

@webmandesign any thoughts?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

Thanks, I am not a bbpress author, I just try and help out here

Having confirmed that this suggestion works, you might want to try Webmandesign’s solution, which I think might be better on header/footer

so go to this post

When Support Block Theme?

and you can find where to download a plugin.

If you do so, and activate, you’ll need to untick the solution in my plugin.

If his solution is indeed better, please let us know, he is about to release it as an official plugin, and if that all goes ok, I will point my users at his solution.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks ago]

No problem, glad that we got it fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks ago]

ok so you do not have topic tags set – item 5 add tags column, set this and save

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 2 days ago]

That’s a nice looking forum.

The layoput is a combination of a custom template, some custom css and probably a couple of functions.

I would strongly suspect it was put together by a design house, so is proprietary.

I can only suggest you email the technical contact at the bottom of the website and see if they would be happy to share their code.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 3 days ago]

I suspect you are feeling some frustration as am I !. I have been supporting bbpress for 14 years, and I wrote the first version of bbp-style-pack over 10 years ago and have developed and supported it since then.

Every website is a combination of WordPress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff.

That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues, so what works on my test site is not guaranteed to work on your site.

So what I ask you to do is based on my best view of what might be the issue, but I am using past skill and knowledge to make informed guesses.

so can you send me a screenshot of the following page

dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Dashboard Admin

thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 4 days ago]

ok, what does the ‘link stats’ – they are not default

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 4 days ago]

ok, so if you are on style pack version 6.2.8 and have checked the setting as described above, it should appear.

But I am suspecting that the links that are added by another plugin or plugins – the ones that do link stats, SEO details, SEO title and SEO desc might be overriding my settings.

As a test, can you deactivate the related plugin and see if tags appear, if they do, let me know which plugin you are using to do those extra options

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 4 days ago]

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

and you can disable all breadcrumbs, or tailor to what you want

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 5 days ago]

it should appear if you have set it in the style pack plugin.

what have you got as showing in the screen opitions?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 5 days ago]

If you mean you want to alter a tags field rather than just list, then you need to edit the individual topic and it is on the right hand side

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 5 days ago]

sorry, which page? if you mean

Dashboard>topics

then it should be there

If you mean another page, please let me know
