so is the theme an FSE one?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

the theme used on this site is

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

with bbpress active, I normally only let users see that profile.

You might want to disable the WordPress admin bar for ordinary users. There are a bunch of plugins that do this.

eg

Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles

see you other post, but if that doesn’t fix, then since it is a custom theme, you are in effect telling me you have a car, but cannot tell me make or model, but want me to tell you how to fix it, when I have no idea what the problem is….

and you have paid someone else to build this car for you, but want me to fix it for free 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

Not quite sure why you are asking here if you are paying a designer to create a site like this??

but if you are using an FSE theme, then this plugin is needed

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

If it isn’t an FSE theme, the the plugin will give you several widgets that are used on this site.

so which theme?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

suspect it is theme related.

Can we have a link to a live example?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

no problem.

on no. 3 there is a bbpress profile and a wordpress profile. Other plugins may also add their own profile pages.

If it is not the bbpress profile page you want it to go to, then do come back, I can probably give you some code.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

on 3. it normally will go to

.com/users/%username

where %username is the username !

what do you want it to go to?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

on no. 4

So style pack got rid of the home – yes ? that shows that it is doing something.

So you have a page with a permalink of forum? yes?
With presumably the [bbp-forum-index] shirtcode in it – yes ?

and you have set the breadcrumb root to …com/forum. As a test can you try setting this to

https://www.facebook.com/

and see if it takes you to facebook

This will tell us if style pack is executing the link, but something else in your site is redirecting.

no problem, have a good weekend

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

because I am feeling in a good mood, I did a bit of searching.

There is a way, but you have to edit a bbpress file.

so go to

\bbpress\includes\admin\metaboxes.php

and remove line 445 which says

'show_none' => esc_html__( '— No forum —', 'bbpress' ),

and save it back

You will need to do this again if bbpress issues an update, but those are few and far between.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

bbpress is free software and has no dedicated support. The bbpress authors rarely visit the support site, and there is no way to contact them directly. That is the nature of free open software – you write it and put it out there, but with no warranty and no obligation to support.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

the car/train analogy was you using the backend for frontend tasks 🙂 The backend is designed for admins not users.

Any code can be changed, but I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others and only so much I can do, and spending several hours working out how to achieve this is beyond my current resources – sorry.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

this topic talks about buddypress, but the principal is the same, and not knowing the structure of salient, it might be sidebar.php that you need to use

https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/150515

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

hmmm.. looks like you need a bbpress template in your theme.

so first you need to create a child theme – the ‘salient’ theme docs should tell you how to do this.

Then in your salient theme copy the ‘left-sidebar-page.php’ file you created into the child theme, and then rename it ‘bbpress.php’

That should mean that all bbpress pages use this template.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

Ok, I tried to look, but cannot see any obvious fix for this, I’m not sure how the code is working that sends this – sorry I’m not able to help further.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

this does feel like you have abandoned the car, and are now trying to get a train to go along a road, and I’m not sure you’ll ever achieve that.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

I would say that I am not a bbpress author, I just started using bbpress and got interested in improving how it looks and works.

I will try and find time to look at your other questions, but I do this in my spare time 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

it can be combinations, so yes, I want to eliminate that.

Given that at the moment I have the problem as :

On registration:

worpdress has no role
bbpress has participant role

so you need subscriber role to be set

then I am struggling to see how bbpress is ‘unsetting’ the subscriber role.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

ok, let’s try the standard fault finding :

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error, starting with wpforms, and then style pack.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

1. suspect this is something learndash is doing – as a test confirm by deactivating learndash and see if they show.

2. The IP adrress only shows for keymasters, ordinary users won’t see it.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

is the salient theme topic you refer to visible to anyone and if so do you have a link?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

Now I have to edit the file

ok so you have already put :

function rkk_widgets_init() {
 
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => __( 'bbPress Sidebar', 'rkk' ),
        'id' => 'bbp-sidebar',
        'description' => __( 'A sidebar that only appears on bbPress pages', 'rkk' ),
        'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</aside>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
    ) );
    }
 
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'rkk_widgets_init' );

into your child theme functions file – yes ?

and then did this

I chose the left-sidebar-page.php of my theme, copied it into my child theme and replaced <?php get_sidebar(); ?> with <?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘bbp-sidebar’); ?>. Because I read this in another topic of a theme salient user.

which replaces the second part of 26, as you have chosen the left-sidebar rather than just sidebar

yes ?

so what exactly are you stuck on?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

Without specific access to your site, this will let you set where breadcrumbs go :

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs
