That is very strange.

Can you contact me via the email in my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk, as I need you to send me some info

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

my style pack plugin allows you to do that

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Order

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

I am author of the style pack plugin, and 4.0.3 shouldn’t have anything that would affect your site, but please as a test, deactivate it and check that it is not causing any issue, you will not lose any settings, and as soon as you have looked you can re-enable it.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve just added this functionality to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Display
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

you have two options

1. delete everything and start again
dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

2. just deactivate and delete 2.6 and install 2.5.14 – that should work, but I’m not sure whether 2.6 has anything funny in changes to the database

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

you should have version 2.5.14 which is the latest authorised release.

Download

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

cross posted with yours, both solve the issue, so go with yours

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

ok, take the change above out.

Then find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file to your pc

The edit this file to be this

<?php

/**
 * Replies Loop - Single Reply
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>
<div class='rew-border'>
<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">

	<div class="bbp-meta">

		<span class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_reply_post_date(); ?></span>

		<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) : ?>

			<span class="bbp-header">
				<?php _e( 'in reply to: ', 'bbpress' ); ?>
				<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?></a>
			</span>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<a href="<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

	</div><!-- .bbp-meta -->

</div><!-- #post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?> -->

<div <?php bbp_reply_class(); ?>>

	<div class="bbp-reply-author">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_admin_details' ); ?>

			<div class="bbp-reply-ip"><?php bbp_author_ip( bbp_get_reply_id() ); ?></div>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

	</div><!-- .bbp-reply-author -->

	<div class="bbp-reply-content">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_content' ); ?>

	</div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->

</div><!-- .reply -->
</div>

<div class='rew-spacer'><p/> </div>

Then put this in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

Finally in your theme’s custom css area put

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies {
border : none ;
}		

.rew-border {
border: 1px solid #eee;
}

I always find this stuff really annoying – what should be simple takes hours to achieve – hope you get sorted, and if you do, please post what you did here to help others

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php
Make a copy of this file to your pc

The edit this file to add this line after line 50

<div class='rew-spacer'> <p/> </div>

so you end up with

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?>

<div class='rew-spacer'> <p/> </div>

Then put this in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-replies.php

You may need to do some styling to get it how you want it, but I would need to see your site to help on that

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

so you want a space between each reply – yes ?

If so, you will need to be able to FTP a file to your website – do you know how to do this?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

bbp style pack

once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Buttons

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

no is the simple answer

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

no problem, yes this is a sub plugin for bbpress, so install bbpress first, then this

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates and select alternate template

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

can you list the plugins you have?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

and yes you can have categories and sub categories etc,

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

you can add visual editor to the bbpress forms in and do many other things using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/reply form

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

Great – glad you are fixed, and thankyou

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve always taken it to mean a MySQL database.

so you are probably looking at converting eg

https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/guide-to-migrating-from-sql-server-to-mysql/

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

no problem

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 7 months ago]

you can put the code in your child theme functions file or put it in a plugin like this which is probably easier

we have a privat area for admins only.

How is this set to private ? If only admins, then it should be set to hidden
