Since you paid for a theme (and it has so much “we are great” on it’s website), suggest you raise this with them first to see if they can give you amended code
great – glad you’re fixed !
what theme are you using?
can you post a link to a page on your site showing this plesae
great – glad you’re fixed
Presuming you have default permalinks (don’t worry if you have no idea what this means) then it is a known issue with wordpress 4.0 and is in the queue for a fix on the next release.
in the meantime you can either
move you child themes up a level
or (better) change your permalinks to ‘pretty’ ones.
see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks for explanation of what a permalink is
go to
Dashboard>settings>permalinks and set them to ‘postname’
@creator2000
ok, if you haven’t already try
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums run all of them but only one at a time
the run the permalink reset again.
@solosails
Presume you have tried resetting permalinks, have disabled all the plugins and switched to default theme as above?
can you post a url to an example of a page you would like this on, and say wherabouts would be ideal
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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.
Great – glad you’re fixed !
Not an easy one.
I presume that you mean automatically do this ? Manually you can of course ‘trash’ a topic and it will cease to appear on the forum
Also what would you like to happen to ‘closed’ topics, presume you would like to keep these, but in being hidden, presume you mean that they never show up in any forums/searches etc. but still show in the backend, or are you happy to actually delete them permanently?
in the widget php file, but i couldn’t figure out how to remove the avatar. is there a simple way to do it?
Yes, line 807 says
$author_link = bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => $topic_id, ‘type’ => ‘both’, ‘size’ => 14 ) );
The type can be ‘avatar’ for avatar or ‘name’ for just name, or ‘both’ to display both
So change this to ‘name’
Remember to make a not of changes to this file, as they may well be lost on bbpress upgrades, so you would need to go back in and reply them.
you should change it as per the previous post
bbPress Styling Crib
No. 5 is what you need to change, and the guide link at the top of the link above tells you how to do it.
great – glad you’re fixed
my plugin should allow you to only see the required forums
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
you should see
(bbpress) Forum serach Form
(bbpress) Forums List
(bbpress) Login Widget
(bbpress) recent replies
(bbpress) Recent topics
(bbpress) Statistics
(bbpress) topics views list
do you not see all these?
No, you’re right that’s as far as my plugin goes.
I don’t know of anything that would go further.
I don’t plan outside of bespoke work to add this functionality.
If I have understood you correctly you want to change the reply form you’ll be looking at
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php which sets up the forum and on line 57 calls
bbp_the_content
this function is in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress\includes\common\template.php
line 1706
you’d probably want to write a filter fro that function
if you’re familiar with wordpress args parsing, bbpress does it in the same way
apply_filter (‘xx’ , ‘bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args’)
and then write a function xx that adds you initial text to $args[‘before’] should do it
Don’t; have time to write and test it at the mo, but come back if you need further help
yes my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
lets you show that forums exist, but not content
I think you have used the ‘topic views’ widget, you need to use the ‘recent topics’ widget
bbpress has two ways to display the forums – see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
You just have a page called chat, whilst the slug is still set to forum, so the latter is what the breadcrumb shows.
so you need to do two things
1. change the slug to chat
2. get bbpress to use your template with a sidebar
I was trying to fix no. 2 first
Suggest you refer the issue to you theme provider
so if you wanted to change ‘Create New Topic’ to ‘hello mother’ you would do
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'Create New Topic' ) {
$translated_text = 'hello mother';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
ok, make a copy of this file and rename it bbpress.php
put this file in the root of your theme
ie
wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php
where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme!
Then amend as follows
change
// Sidebar
/////////////////////////////////////////////
if ($themify->layout != “sidebar-none”): get_sidebar(); endif; ?>
to
// Sidebar
/////////////////////////////////////////////
get_sidebar(); ?>
This will then force bbpress to use a forum with a sidebar
Great – and thanks for posting the solution !
