you could put a link into the page so that they click to get to it

load my plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

and go into

Dsahboard>settings>bbp style pack>d. forum display and click no. 5

You could put the form first, but it will hide your forums, but if you really want to do that come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

ok, the following code removes the edit for bbpress, but leaves it for normal wordpress pages

function wpse_remove_edit_post_link( $link ) {
	if (is_bbpress()) return '' ;
	else return $link ;
	}
add_filter('edit_post_link', 'wpse_remove_edit_post_link');

The users will still be able to edit their topics and replies via the in-box edit buttons

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

No problem.

Now you are back to the original, you might like to try this plugin that I have recently published

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

to style the elements within bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

PS The edit comes from the theme, and applies to the original topic not the replies.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Crazy that nobody has ever tried to use that feature before!

I expect lots have, but as it works for mods and above and site developers/admins tend to be at that level, then it would work.

… Participants should be able to edit their own topics.

Absolutely they should, and they can via the edit in the topic box.

As I said I’ll take a look at a filter to fix.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.

By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !

But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :

Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to

http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/

which allows a user to edit

But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to

http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit

which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.

So participants see this link which they can’t use !!

Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Category labels are ugly, but also understand their purpose.

Gotta agree with you ! But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if that’s the worst you can find then it’s doing pretty well 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

did you actually paste this line

background-color: “the color you see”!Important;

ie the real words “the color you see”

This would be ignored as it’s not proper code

And if you put this into your child theme, and you’re no longer using your child theme, then it wouldn’t matter anyway.

And if you go to the forum, the background of the actual site under the top nah bar is a light tan. Then if you click on the test forum to go into it (though there aren’t any topics), you will notice it gets darker.

Not sure what ‘the top nah bar ‘ if you mean nav, then I can’t see any tan in my browser, or anything going darker?????

Put an image on photobucket or similar please

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

so where did you change the background – in which file?

Also whilst caching on the server is eliminated, caching in your browser could be an issue.

So I might not be seeing what you’re seeing !

So try multiple refreshes of your browrser, and if that doens’t fix, can you post a screenshot of what you think is wrong, together with the url for that and I can compare !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

great !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

OK, so I can see that you are on the theme explicit, which is presumably the parent theme so we can eliminate the style.css file in your child theme?

So if you have only changed styles in the main theme via their system, and in the child theme via style.css then if the child theme isn’t active it must be something in the main theme.

Since this is a paid theme – suggest you contact the theme suppliers to see if they can help.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Haven’t had a detailed look but

bb_register_view should be bbp_register_view

bb is buddypress, bbp is bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

ok, but sorry I don’t load sites that come up bad, so can’t really help further

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

just add a line

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_pagination_count', 'hide_topic_display' );

so you end up with

Function hide_topic_display ($retstr){
	$retstr = '' ;
	return $retstr ;
}
	
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_pagination_count', 'hide_topic_display' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_pagination_count', 'hide_topic_display' );

That should work !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

It has taken me a while, and sorry @jacobofeijoo probably far too late for you, but just published a plugin that should do all the forum styling you need

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Your site is coming up with malware – see the following link

http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/thevrlife.com

I suggest getting this cleared first, and then if you still have this issue come back

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Suggest you try

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just press save. This will reset the permalinks which sometimes fixes this issue

Come back either way and let us know

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

No problem – I hope you fix it !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Now nothing is changing on the forum, even though everything else is going back to normal in the theme.
How could it still be changed?

Sorry I’m confused as to what the issue is ?

Please post a link to your site and a page where you can describe what is not right

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Sometimes the spam filter mis-detects posts and marks then as duplicates.

try editing you post above

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

@rafaeldejongh

I still can’t say why it is affecting your site, but I just a humble user of this product.

If this was a common issue, I would have thought that it would have cropped up before on this support site, and would have been fixed.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

ok, sorry but I have not come across these before, and can only find them in connection with site5 when googled.

I can’t say why bbpress is affecting your site

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

suggest you put this as a project on

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

This of course makes the web hosts disable my website when it crosses the limit of 450 resource points per day.

It doesn’t seem a good deal to have your host provider blocking your site, I haven’t seen resource points before, and all the host providers I know have no limits.

I think I’d move to a another hosting site !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

I suspect that the spam filter has taken against you ! It marked your other thread as spam

I have un-spammed it, but cannot give you a good answer to it
