ok, I can’t help you with winscp, but what you need to achieve is the following.

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-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so line 38 says

<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

delete this and in its place put these lines

<div class="bbp-forum-content">
		
		<?php setup_postdata(bbp_get_forum_id()) ; 
				
		$excerpt = get_the_excerpt() ;
		
		echo $excerpt ;	?>
		
</div>

This will then put the first 55 characters of your content.

Once you have achieved that, come back and I’ll show you the second part.

ok, do you know how to use ftp to move a file to your website?

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

We also see inconsistencies in this functionality throughout the site. Any suggestions?

not unless you can give me something to work on like ‘it works on this but not on that’

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

that link just comes up with a 404 error – are you forums private ?

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

since bbpress just uses wordpress then anything that works in wordpress

eg code

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21928355/list-currently-logged-in-users-wordpress

or plugin

WP-UserOnline

There are probably lots more examples, I just googled ‘wordpress list logged in users plugin’

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

add this to your theme’s custom css section

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
width: auto !important;
}

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

1. try

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time

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

great – glad to have helped

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

bbpress does not directly provide for image upload, so you’ll need to use a plugin such as

GD bbPress Attachments

Whatvere plugin you use, suggest you contact that plugins author for what works well with it

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

let me see if I can contact the author

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

This is hopefully close to what you want – play with the numbers

#bbp-forum-76 {
	padding-top : 10px ;
}

#bbp-forum-76 li.bbp-forum-info a.bbp-forum-title::before {
	font-family: FontAwesome;
	content: '\f058';
	color: #6190C3;
	font-size: 50px;
	padding-right: 30px;
	position: relative;
	top: 15px;
}

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

ok, I worked out an easy way to do that

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-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in 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
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so replace line 61 which reads

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

with

<?php
	//now check if it is the topic author
		$author = bbp_get_reply_author_id(bbp_get_reply_id()) ;
		$current_user = get_current_user_id() ;
		if ($author == $current_user) {
			echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content bbp-author">' ;
		}
		else echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content">' ;
	?>

then just add the bbp-author css styling to your theme’s custom css

eg

.bbp-author {
background : green ;
}

you might require

.bbp-author {
background : green !important;
}

depending on where you put the css.

@shland01 – I’ve answered in the other link, so post that here for completeness

Specific Moderator per forum?

and I’ll only update the other one

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

Does the existing plugin still work?

Old plugins can be very stable and not need much updating.

If it works, I might contact the author.

But I need someone to confirm it works first (big difference between updating a working plugin and getting a non-working one going again !)

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

I haven’t got 2.6rc3 live at the moment as I’m tied up supporting the live version. However I’d guess that moderator support per forum is front end only, as they’ll have a participant role when you access the backend.

I presume that the user is participant and sees no options for topics and replies in the admin section – yes ?

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

Stills shows under User Roll

even after this ?

Anywhere in your theme (i put on a custom page template), use this:

$wp_roles = new WP_Roles();
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_role");

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

I presume Rkk has deleted.

my styles pack plugin has a shortcode

[Profile label=’This is the label’] will show

which will let you add that as a text box beneath the standard bbpress login.

bbp style pack

once installed and activated – go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to find what the options are

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

try

#bbp-forum-9 li.bbp-forum-info a.bbp-forum-title:before {
	font-family: FontAwesome;
	content: '\f058';
	color: #6190C3;
	font-size: 30px;
 }	

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

no problem, sorry we couldn’t help

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

the edit time is set in

dashboard>settings>forums>forum user settings > disallow editing after

default is 10 mins

you can set this to as may 9’sd as yo like eg

9999999999 to make it pretty well always editable !

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

Just wondering how the script makes the decision if I’m creating or editing a topic.

not an area of the plugin I’ve yet delved into ! hense the quick and dirty !

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

is the code still in there – I can’t see it and you seem to have gone back to the original center alignment

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

that’s something that a plugin is adding – what email/bbpress additional plugins are you running?

I know you are fixed, but this information will help someone else who later has the same problem 🙂

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

this css should work

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
	max-width: 100%;
	display: block;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

presume your theme has a custom css area you can put this in ?

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

plugin updates can do funny things.

can you just say where exactly you did

‘switching from HTML email type to PLAIN text’

Thanks
