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
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
Thanks, glad I can help !
can you post a link/url to an example forum please
can you post a link/url to an example
er yes, it’s all in the menu tab labelled documentation above 🙂
This can be done, but I’d need to do some work for it, contact me via my website
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
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.
great – so presume you’re fixed.

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.

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']);
}
ok, do keep us updated on your progress, I am interested to see how it turns out, hope it’s you:1 the technology:0 !
