this plugin will help you style the forum pages
bbp style pack
don’t know what is happening
I’ve just looked at the core close topic code, and it just changes post_status to closed, although it goes via a whole bunch of code in a topic hander function which I haven’t been through line by line.
Suggest you try just changing the status directly in the db, and see if that fixes. You can always change it back !
hmm – I can’t see anything obvious here, the fact that sticky topic is 0 says that it is not sticky.
In any case you can just delete a sticky topic, so that shouldn’t stop it.
However since I cannot see why there should be 4 entries, then try just deleting the sticky topic entries in postmeta and try and close again.
If not come back and I’ll take a look at what the bbpres close function does tomorrow
no that’s as good amount of information
for one of these topics that won’t close, can you give us the full post and postmeta entries. (you can blank any sensitive content)
depend what you men by ‘back’ if you mean your browsers back button, then this will simply return to the previous screen.
@brent0r – that would be great – all for having lots of options
try
input[type=”text”] {
width: 50% !important;
}
.bbp-login-form .bbp-password input {
width: 50% !important;
}
Put this in your custom css area
input[type=”text”] {
width: 50%;
}
.bbp-login-form .bbp-password input {
width: 50%;
}
I’d need a link to the actual site to tell you how to fix this
if you have a child theme, and are happy with ftp, I can give you a revised template
having a button at the top which goes to the form at the bottom can be achieved by
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons
Having the from hidden is quite possible, but I don’t know of any already written code to do that
yes, I frequently have multiple users on different browsers on my one PC when I am testing
great
than add this
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function rew_change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum is empty.' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_translate_text', 20 );
Instead of ‘This forum is empty.’ you will get ‘new text’, so just change new text to what you want
eg change the line
$translated_text = 'new text';
to
$translated_text = 'Categories listed below';
– if you want it blank then have that line say
$translated_text = '';
do you know how to add something to your childtheme functions file ?
@chumtarou – I’m playing with this in between paid jobs – I have topics working, but replies for a single forum is a bit more tricky.
I’ll then look at forum subscribers
I’ll be back at some stage.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Nothing I know of to do that – it could be coded but beyond free help.
this function is now in
bbp topic count
see
dashboard>settings>bbp topic count>shortcodes
I’ve just (today) released a new version of my “bbp topic count” plugin with a new shortcode which will show the top X users across the forums.
I’ll take a quick look to see if I can make this forum specific.
In the meantime take a look at
dashboard>settings>bbp topic count>shortcodes to see what it is and how to use it.
ok, can you contact me via my website so we can exchange info
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
ok, I think the key item is that it is repairing the post_parent, so a reply gets back it’s topic ID.
I can only presume this is from the topic_id held in postmeta.
Can you confirm for another reply that you haven’t updated that
1. post_parent is 0 and
2. postmeta has the entry _bbp_topic_id with a number against it.
and then randomly check several more.
then update a couple and confirm that post_parent is now complete.
If all that checks out – I can write a quick programme that will go through each reply, pick up the topic_id from postmeta and set post parent.
bbptress uses wordpress registration, so only one registration needed
