something like
function rew_max_shown ($args) {
$args['max_num_pages'] = 2 ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'rew_max_shown') ;
in your functions file
Functions files and child themes – explained !
no problem – glad you’re fixed !
ok, just had a look
You have made that topic ‘super sticky’ – which is why it is appearing at the top of every forum
Change to sticky to get at the top of just the forum it belongs to
or normal to be just a topic
But the other problem is still there:
For example, I have A and B forums and I created a topic in A, then when I open B forum, the A topic will show up in B, too.
But I don’t want A’s topic showing up in B. How do I do that?
Is the issue there with all plugins disabled AND a default theme?
Great – glad you’re fixed !
sorry no definition of ‘bbPress ready themes’ it simply means that the author has written ‘bbPress ready themes’ on his blurb.
Usually means that the theme has been tested with bbpress and recognises it in the theme page files.
Many themes work well with bbpress, some are too ‘clever’ and don’t play well.
you should have breadcrumbs and searchbar by default
for searchbar look in
dashboard<settings>forums>forum features and make sure that ‘search’ is ticked.
Your theme can prevent breadcrumbs from showing, as can other plugins
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
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.
I’ve retitled you post as well to remind me 🙂
hmm not sure if that’s buddypress or bbpress.
can you post a link/url to the page that has the forums link
I understood up until
after which point the oldest posts get replaced by the newest?
I expect you can limit a forum to only show the latest 50 topics, come back if that is what you want
This is the ‘(bbpress) recent topics’ widget?
and you have it set with topics with recent relies – yes?
That widget doesn’t allow for the reply author.
It could be copied to a functions file, renamed and then edited to do so. If you are reasonable with coding, I will explain further.
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

Then come back
ok, I’ve looked ta the page
your style.css has
.row .col img {
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
}
around line 1929
The width: auto;
is causing the issue, remove that and the image reverts to 14 – but around 30 looks good !
adding
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
will also center the image
so you end up with
.row .col img {
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
max-width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
If just for bbpress then
#bbpress-forums .row .col img {
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
max-width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
Long time since I’ve seen a ‘Hazzah!!! ‘ 🙂
No problem, glad you are fixed.
ok, it’s your theme that’s causing the issue, some theme authors are too clever with their coding, and bbpress uses a category of archive, hence why it is displaying this sidebar. Also I suspect the theme won’t be allowing dynamic sidebars, hence why tweaks isn’t working.
So onto plan b !
install a plugin called ‘widget logic’
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
Then against each widget in your archive/post/search sidebar, you’ll see an extra field called widget logic
If you want that widget only in bbpress forums put
is_bbpress()
in to that line
if you don’t want that widget in bbpress, but do want it in other pages that use the archive/post/search sidebar the put
!is_bbpress()
in the widget logic area
If you want in both, then leave widget logic blank.
It does worry me a bit though, that if this is the end-all solution then we’re left relying on a small one-man plugin
As author of 6 one-man plugins, I know that this can cause worry, but actually the large team plugins tend to get abandoned as often as team strategy goes in another direction, with no-one feeling ownership !
But the code is open source, so someone else can pick it up, and with over 12,000 users, I suspect that this one would find a new developer.
ok, since tis is a paid theme, Themeforest ought to fix this issue
Suggest you contact them on
http://themeforest.net/item/weeklynews-premium-wordpress-newsmagazine-theme/9214110/support
The tests I suggested are to find the error, I am not expecting you to stay without them.
If you follow the tests, then if the forums work with just bbpress as the only plugin and your theme, then bbpress is conflicting with another plugin, hence you add back until you find which one, THEN you come back and let us know.
If even the above doesn’t work, then bbpress you change to a default theme such as tewntyten. If that works the issue is with your theme, so we go down that route.
If none works then bbpress has not installed properly.
hmm…this is a buddypress issue I think
see
Group Settings and Roles
Don’t think there is anyway to alter these.
you could try
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
and see if you can integrate this into buddypress.
ok, I can your issue
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Thanks, glad I can help !
can you post a link/url to an example forum please
