In reply to: Forum Page does not have link to Login
Does that answer your question?
Yes thanks, but it was not the answer I was expecting !!
ok so
http://bodybuildingdietapp.com/forum/ is a page you have set up called ‘forum’ and has [bbp-forum-index] and nothing else in it – yes? I don’t see how this page is then going to a page called forum-login.
Are you manually setting up your menu, or are menu items automatically added?
And if you type in http://bodybuildingdietapp.com/forums/ you will go to the forums as I would expect you to. You could simply add this as a link into your menu and not worry !
Apologies was trying to answer many threads with guests due for dinner, so prevouis answer was a bit short !
I followed it and copy-and-pasted the code into my capabilities.php
ahhh, now I understand, as per original thread you need to add that code to your functions.php, not to capabilities.php, and that would explain the error.
Whilst you could amend the participant role, I haven’t documented that, so easiest is just for you to create a new role and give it the participant capabilities plus the ‘delete topics’ and ‘delete replies’. This article explains how
add this code to your functions file – see

In reply to: What could make bbPress better? I have ideas…@robkk – thanks fro posting that I now understand
@steelersden – lots there for you to work onIn reply to: Forum Page does not have link to Loginyes it shouldn’t be so confusing !
so ignoring the safari for the moment.
If I click BBDT forum on the menu, and I being taken to a page in wordpress that you have set up or a link? IE how is that menu item set up?
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/ok no problem
Normally you would have a bbpress.php that would contain
header stuff
while have posts loop stuff
do_sidebar stuff
do_footer stuffYour theme has decided that the sidebar stuff will be in the footer stuff.
Now all this will work for non bbpress pages, so all we need to do is stop sidebars for bbpress pages.
so put back the footer line in bbpress.php
and then edit footer.php to make the first lines that were
<?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template. ?> </div><!– #main –> <?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/subsidiary.php template. ?>change to
<?php if !bbpress() {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); } // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template.?> </div><!– #main –> <?php if !bbpress() {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); }// Loads the sidebar/subsidiary.php template. ?>essentially that code says ‘if the page is not a bbpress page ‘ the do the sidebar stuff the ‘!’ is a not statement and bbpress() checks if we are dispaying a bbprtess page
Give it a try, and come back and let me know if it works.
why changing directly doesn’t work?
because on every software update you will lose your changes!

sorry but pastebin adds millions of blank lines, so without re-editing the file I can’t see what you are doing.

In reply to: Forum Search not workingoffhand I can’t say.
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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

In reply to: What could make bbPress better? I have ideas…The ethos behind bbpress is keep it light and let other add plugins for the functionality you require, so you don’t get tons of code for functions that you don’t need.
1. You can create menu logins such as
or
or add this code to your functions file
//add login to top of index function index_login () { if (!is_user_logged_in() ) { echo do_shortcode('[bbp-login]'); } } add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index', 'index_login' ) ;see
2. Easily added as a plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-signature/
3. can you give an example of how you would like it to look? doesn’t need to be a bbpress site
In reply to: Accept shortcodes in forumIn reply to: Updating BBpress questionvery high chance it will be fine, but risk that your developer will have changed some core files.
Since your trying to learn stuff, then I strongly recommend that you create a test site, which will let you try it there first, but also will teach you loads about wordpress and how it operates, and give you confidence to make other changes in a test area first
In reply to: customizing bbpress admin linksyes I’ll give it a go, but may not be for a couple of days – relatives staying !!
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/absolutely there is, but if you’ve only taken out the footer in bbpress.php, then it will only have been taken out for bbpress, so will still be available elsewhere.
otherwise do come back

In reply to: how to upgrade bbpress 1.0.2 to a newer version?this thread discusses
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-bbpress-1-0-2-to-2-1-2/
looks like you need to go via 1.2 but then should just be export/import?
of course back everything up before you start.
Actually if I were doing this I’d do it on a test site first
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
and just see if it works !
Can you document as you go, and When you’ve done it, come back and give us how you did it, and I’ll add it to the

In reply to: Help with getting basic plugin to workgreat – glad it worked and saved you some time 🙂
In reply to: How do I add a sidebar to all topics pages?great – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/Hey don’t worry, code is just a bunch of stuff that either works or doesn’t – and yours now works.
what I couldn’t figure out was why the sidebar was showing, and now that you’ve posted the footer.php I can see why. Strange bit of theme coding to put the sidebar in a footer.php but there are only conventions not rules. All you’ve done by deleting the footer line is stop the sidebar running, which is what you wanted.
The fact that I changed your code also is worrying me since I have absolutely no knowledge about php coding. I mean, I’ve found out there is a something called php coding.Don’t worry you’ve done nothing wrong, it’s all good.
NOW the only thing you’ll need to do is make a note of all the changes you made. Themes sometimes have updates, and these may overwrite existing files, and in your case may also delete the bbpress.php. So keep copies of any files you have changed or added on your PC.
In reply to: compact bbpressto get rid of avatar
//get rid of the avatar function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) { $author_avatar = ''; return $author_avatar; } /* Add priority (default=10) and number of arguments */ add_filter('bbp_get_topic_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3); add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3); add_filter('bbp_get_current_user_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);can you give us your url so we can see the lack of search !
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/Ok, not sure if you fixed something or just represhed, but as far as I can see you’re now all working?
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/Hey no need to apologise, it’s often difficult to resolve these things, and it’s not due to your lack of explanation, it will just be something simple that needs fixing !
can you try the following as your bbpress.php
<?php get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?> <main <?php hybrid_attr( ‘content’ ); ?>> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : // Checks if any posts were found. ?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : // Begins the loop through found posts. ?> <?php the_post(); // Loads the post data. ?> <article <?php hybrid_attr( ‘post’ ); ?>> <header class=”entry-header”> <?php the_title( ‘<h2 ‘ . hybrid_get_attr( ‘entry-title’ ) . ‘>‘, ‘</h2>’ ); ?> </header><!– .entry-header –> <div <?php hybrid_attr( ‘entry-content’ ); ?>> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> </div><!– .entry-content –> </article><!– .entry –> <?php endwhile; // End found posts loop. ?> <?php else : // If no posts were found. ?> <?php locate_template( array( ‘content/error.php’ ), true ); // Loads the content/error.php template. ?> <?php endif; // End check for posts. ?> </main><!– #content –> <?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>In reply to: Help with getting basic plugin to workalso either use or crack open my plugin that does exactly this, you’ll find all the code in there
In reply to: Forum Page does not have link to LoginThanks. But the other problem is
so is the first issue fixed, and how did you do it? or is this part of the same issue?
sounds like you are directing users to a [bbp-login] shortcode not a [bbp-forum-index].
In reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/ok, it would be good to lose that horrible ad that comes up as I transition every page – it would stop me using your site immediately 🙂
Sorry, this is like trying to fix a car by email – we’ll get to a solution, but I’m not alweays understanding what you are seeing or saying.
The topic and the forum access from the forums permalink to be full width with no sidebar.
So why can’t you use this as you solution?
