great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Great – I do hate that them authors won’t write variants of themes for no-sidebar/1 sidebar/2 sidebar, it would make life so much easier 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, I downloaded the theme and had a play

you need to create this file as bbpress.php

<?php global $theme; get_header(); ?>

    <div id="main">
    
        <?php $theme->hook('main_before'); ?>

        <div id="content2">
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_before'); ?>
        
            <?php 
                if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                    /**
                     * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file
                     */
                    get_template_part('post', 'page');
                    
                    if(comments_open( get_the_ID() ))  {
                        comments_template('', true); 
                    }
                endwhile;
                
                else :
                    get_template_part('post', 'noresults');
                endif; 
            ?>
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_after'); ?>
        
        </div><!-- #content -->
    
        <div id="sidebar-primary">

   <?php
        if(!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-bbpress')) {
            /**
            * The primary sidebar widget area. Manage the widgets from: wp-admin -> Appearance -> Widgets 
            */
            $theme->hook('sidebar-bbpress');
        }
        $theme->hook("sidebar_primary_after");
    ?>
    
</div><!-- #sidebar-primary -->
        
        <?php $theme->hook('main_after'); ?>
        
    </div><!-- #main -->
    
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then in your style.css you need to add the following to the bottom just above the

/* =END

#content2 {
  float: left;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 630px;
}

That should do it

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

sorry…

<? get_sidebar(); ?>

should read

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

try using the method shown here

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

you have a smart theme that is displaying that, which someone has customised.

can you look in your theme and see if you have a folder here

wp-content/themes/eighties/bbpress

If you have can you list the files held there

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

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.

Try method 2 !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

how are you accessing this page – which of these is it?

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok,

In your theme create a bbpress directory

wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress

where %yourtheme% is your theme name

Then copy the following file to that folder

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/template/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

So you end up with

wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress/form-topic.php

You can then edit this file, and bbpress will use this version.

@editor-mike – sorry do you have a problem after deleting 100 replies at a time?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I think this should do it. It’s from my library of code and haven’t used it in a while, so come back if it’s not what you want

You’ll need to add it to your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => ' (',
		'count_after'       => ')',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
			$content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Counts to show
			if ( !empty( $count ) ) {
				$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after'];
		}

		// Output the list
		return $output ;
	}
}

add_filter('bbp_list_forums', 'custom_list_forums' );

Live and learn 🙂

Maybe a theme or plugin issue?

with

wp 4.0
bp 2.5.4
theme : twentyten
Yoast SEO

I get

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

usually putting #bbpress-forums in front does the trick eg

#bbpress-forums .entry {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

there is a setting for this

Dashboard>settings>forums

Disallow editing after….

change this to whatever you want

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Ok, I created the changes needed – go to my site and download the changed files – instructions are there

Come back if you have any queries

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

@peterwsterling

Are you saying that you get this issue with

wp 4.0
BP 2.5.4
NO plugins apart from bbPress
Twentyfourtenn theme

?

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

ok, there are two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in either of these plugins may help.

bbpress wp4 fix

bbpress wp4 fix2

ONLY have one active at a time. The first form some users may show the same topic content against several topics, so fully check several posts to ensure it isn working for you.

If it does, please come back and say

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

The normal behaviour is to allow anyone to see profiles.

You can limit this to only logged in users by adding some code to a couple of files.

If you have c-panel or ftp access and know how to transfer files, come back and I’ll help you with the changes.

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

@seojobb – so now you ned to work out which one is causing the conflict by re-enabling one at a time

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

ok, save this file as bbpress.php into the root of your theme

ie

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

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme !! 🙂

Then add a line above the last, so that it now reads

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

bbpress will now use that page as the one for bbpress, and should display a sidebar.

‘tweaks’ should tghen sue this fro your forum sidebar.

Come back if any of that doesn’t work, or you need more explanation

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

@vegas778 – I’m just a humble wordpres/bbpress user, and it may well be that I cannot help you, but I’ll try if I can.

I tried googling meta title, but that phrase doesn’t seem to exist.

You have again posted several pages, but I still don’t know which are ‘correct’ and which are ‘wrong’ in your view, and to be frank, which bit the meta title is?

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

@peterwsterling – which theme are you using?

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

can you post the code for the full width one here please
