sorry, but kit’s not clear what you are currently displaying and what you would like to display, as the display seems to reads exactly as you are asking in then last three lines of your post.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

try

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, no promises on timing, I’m very stretched at the moment, but send a link via my website

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, so can you tell us what you want in simple English – stick away from css and jargon 🙂

eg

I want the xx forum to have this background and the yy forum to have that background, and all sub forums and topics to also have this

or whatever you want !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks rob as usual for the better css code !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, this could be lots of things, and part of what you mention is buddypress not bbpress.

so start with

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and if you aren’t seeing forums/topics and replies in the back end then

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

There is no need to copy the bbpress.css file.

you just need to put it in your child theme’s style.css, BUT add the ‘!important ‘ which stops bbpress overwriting it.

.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg') !important; }

You may find you don’t need all the string above ie ‘.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background ‘ but have a play if the full doesn’t work, or come back with a url/link and I’ll try to help

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

unfortunately they are not !

I don’t know why !!

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

the following works

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
 function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
 if ( $translated_text == '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title.' ) {
 $translated_text = '<strong>CHYBA</strong>: Vaše téma musí mít název.';
 }
 
return $translated_text;
 }

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

but equally well, the line is in the pot on line 3727 as

Line 3727: msgid "<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title."

so you could just use then normal translate !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I’ll admit CSS is not always my friend

Whilst really useful I hate this as well.

Where are you putting that code?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ie only two links, 3 gets spammed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

bbpress uses wordpress as it’s host and using a combination of the two you should be able to achieve all this

1 yes
2 yes
3 yes
4 probably
5 lots of wordpress petition plugins
6. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/
6 (again) lots of diary systems within wordpress
7 would tend to do this within wordpress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

its a theme issue,

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

not sure what is happening, try adding it here

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, if you can’t get the right sidebars to show, just have one sidebar and use widget logic to decide what widgets show in which pages

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

then for each widget there is a widget logic box

put

is_bbpress() if you want that wiodget to appear in forums
!is_bbpress if you want it to appear in pages other than forums
and leave blank for both

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, so try

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

The link you gave

Sidebar on left for Forums, then right for Forum and Topic – Why?

had this as his solution

Just swap the floating elements from left to right, where content becomes right and sidebar becomes left. Remember to end with the !important to override any other CSS. Code is thus:

.bbpress.single-forum #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-forum #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}

You need to put the code in your style.css

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I meant adding his code to the style.css ?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

if it still doesn’t work, come back and when I get a moment I’ll try it in my test site

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Did you try his solution?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

yes in your functions file !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I just looked and it’s actually in the code as

<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title.

and the translate works on exact !

which might explain why it didn’t work in the pot

you can try it as one phrase, and if that doesn’t work, then make it two

ie
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == ‘ERROR:’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘CHYBA:’;
}
if ( $translated_text == ‘Your topic needs a title.’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘Vaše téma musí mít název.’;
}

return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_translate_text’, 20 );

The same is probably true of the POT file, so you try all that there first !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I hope the theme authors read this.

In the meantime either add it manually and keep a note

or add this to your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

just put the old and new words to change ‘old test’ and ‘new text’

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

you’d add this code in the theme function`’s files

You cuurentl show the bbpress user roles under the avatar on each topic/reply

you can either change the display name or add new roles to achieve this
