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.

[Robin W]

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.

try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Robin W]

ok, since tis is a paid theme, Themeforest ought to fix this issue

Suggest you contact them on

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.

[Robin W]

bbpress uses your wordpress theme for styling

you can also look at

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/

[Robin W]

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.

[Robin W]

ok, I can your issue

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

Thanks, glad I can help !

[Robin W]

can you post a link/url to an example forum please

[Robin W]

can you post a link/url to an example

[Robin W]

er yes, it’s all in the menu tab labelled documentation above 🙂

[Robin W]

This can be done, but I’d need to do some work for it, contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

ok, if you have ftp access then…

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

Then look at line 74

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

The ‘size’ => 14 is the avatar size, so reduce this to what you want.

[Robin W]

great – so presume you’re fixed.

an ugly green background

it was an example not a solution !

If you want to get into this side you should learn about developer tools

https://developer.chrome.com/devtools

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ie/gg589507(v=vs.85).aspx

then you can quickly see what is being used.

@vikingpoker

I’ve been doing some testing with another user with this issue, and have now released version 1.4, which should fix this issue

ok, I’ve kicked the code around an adding this to your functions file will fix it.

I may add it as an option to the profile at some stage, but not likely that soon, so paste this code into your functions file

//* Code addition for bbP Profile Information Plugin
add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
function myplugin_register_form (){
	$rpi_label1 = ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) ) ? $_POST['rpi_label1']: '';
	$rpi_label2 = ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) ) ? $_POST['rpi_label2']: '';
	?>
	<p>
	
	<p>
		<label for="rpi_label1"><?php echo $rpi_options['item1_label'] ; ?><br />
		<input type="text" name="rpi_label1" id="rpi_label1" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($rpi_label1)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
		</p>
		<p>
            <label for="rpi_label2"><?php echo $rpi_options['item2_label'] ; ?><br />
        <input type="text" name="rpi_label2" id="rpi_label2" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($rpi_label2)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
        </p>
	
	
	<?php
}

add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
	if ( empty( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) )
	$errors->add( 'rpi_label1_error', __('ERROR: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
	if ( empty( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) )
	$errors->add( 'rpi_label2_error', __('ERROR: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
	return $errors;
}

add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
	if ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) )
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'rpi_label1', $_POST['rpi_label1']);
	if ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) )
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'rpi_label2', $_POST['rpi_label2']);
}
