you should be able to simply add your description to the forum content, this should the show

ie

dashboard>forums>all forums

edit the forum you wish and put the description in the content

[Robin W]

ok, so in your PC create a file called bbpress.php

(you can use notepad for this)

then dump this code into it

<?php

/**
 * bbPress - Forum Archive
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_before_main_content' ); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>

	<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php bbp_forum_archive_title(); ?></h1>
		<div class="entry-content">

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

		</div>
	</div><!-- #forum-front -->

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

save it and using ftp copy it to get

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme

so you end up with

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php

bbpress will then use this template

Come back and let us know how you get on !

[Robin W]

you say “can no longer login”

when did this happen?
How long have they been able to login?
what has changed in between eg theme or plugin upgrades

There will be a cause, and it will be a change, either that you have done manually or some software has done automatically, you just need to work out what.

[Robin W]

bbpress will use the default page template for the main index rather than the specific page template set in the page – so your setting in the forum page won’t apply.

There are several ways around this, but as your plugin is a paid one, I can’t see the code to recommend the best solution.

So first off I’d post a query onto their support site

Outstanding Support

they probably have come across bbpress before and will know the answer. You could tell them that bbpress uses ‘is_bbpress()’ to see if it is a bbpress page, that might help them.

[Robin W]

I suspect your issue is with Easy WP SMTP 1.0.9

there are a couple of threads on their support site about needing to change/resave settings after the upgrade to 1.0.8 that might apply to you

and go to support

1. bbpress plugins add exactly as normal wordpress plugins

Dashboard>plugins

Bbpress will try and use your theme, you may want to visit the set up guides

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

2. depending on your theme, you should see the ability to add a topic at the end of each forum.

You can add a ‘topic’ add in your sidebar using the text widget and putting

<a href="/add-new-topic/">Create a new topic</a>

in the text

[Robin W]

can you post a link to an example?

[Robin W]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[Robin W]

great – glad you’re fixed, and thanks for the info, it will help someone in future 🙂

[Robin W]

keep going, it’s fun seeing what you are doing !!

[Robin W]

great – glad you’re fixed

[Robin W]

Sorry, but Chrome look fine on my PC as well.

I cannot replicate your issue !

[Robin W]

looks fine on IE and Firefox on my PC viz

[Robin W]

ok lets start by seeing if this is a plugin or theme 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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

what are you planning to count, topics, forums or both?

and if you count a forum as subscribed, do you want to count all the topics within that forum as subscribed?

the list of forums/topics subscribed to is held in usermeta under WP__bbp_subscriptions and an example would look like

5682,13255,13098,13394,13456,13497,13550,13575,13636,13652,13669,13705,13750,13769,13620,14017,14222,14375,14469

so it would count a forum and a topic each as 1.

you could add a check to see which were topics and which forums and display separately.

You’d access it using a function like

$user_id = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
$check=get_user_meta( $user_id, 'WP__bbp_subscriptions' ,false);
some if statement here in case it's blank
then set a counter to zero
foreach ( $check as $count ) {
increment the counter in here
maybe one count if it's a topic and another if its a reply?
}
then carry on to a display

Favorites are held in ‘WP__bbp_favorites’

If you want some code to display the results, look at my topic count plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

Hope that’s sufficient to get you going to a solution, come back if you need more help

[Robin W]

Have you fixed yourself? I cannot see anything wrong, the text in both topics and replies is all the same size.

[Robin W]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[Robin W]

can you come back and post your code for 2

that’s why I need your to post your code, so that I can work out where it’s wrong 🙂

[Robin W]

The issue is getting wordpress search to display the results in a meaningful way (ie bpress style)

This plugin which is old claims to do this, but there is a warning that it shows private forum results, is unless all your forums are open I wouldn’t use it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-bbpress/

Try it and see if it works

[Robin W]

ok, thanks for that, so if I understand correctly, you were using the buddypress login widget in the sidebar and that wasn’t working and are now using the bbpress login widget in the sidebar, and it now works.

Is that correct and you are now fixed ?

[Robin W]

so how are you displaying that sidebar – ie what makes it conditional?

[Robin W]

I’ve loaded all that, my display is slightly different, but that will be styling.

When I click any ‘topic tools’ it’s just the first topic that displays, and this does so in a stacked fashion, so I can only see the first tool.

However, I played a bit with the loop single reply, and would the following help?

<div class="dropdown" id="dropdown">
				<input type="checkbox" id="drop1" />
        <label for="drop1" class="dropdown_button">Topic Tools</label>
		<?php if (bbp_is_topic(bbp_get_reply_id()) ) { ?>
		<ul class="dropdown_content">
            <li class="active"></li>
              <li> <?php echo bbp_get_reply_edit_link(); ?></li>
              <li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_spam_link(); ?></li>
              <li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_move_link(); ?></li>
        </ul>
		<?php } ?>
		<?php if (bbp_is_reply(bbp_get_reply_id()) ) { ?>
		<ul class="dropdown_content">
         <li class="active"></li>
			<li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_spam_link(); ?></li>
             <li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_move_link(); ?></li>
         </ul>
		<?php } ?>
        
    </div>

basically it adds if-topic and if reply choices

[Robin W]

Ok, the code works (just retested it on my site), but the link you supplied is not using it.

are you sure you put

/* =Revisions
————————————————————– */

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log,
 #bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log,
 #bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
 Display : none !important ;
 }

in

wp-content/themes/divi/style.css
