In reply to: Forum Page does not have link to Login
Thanks. 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?
In reply to: How do I add a sidebar to all topics pages?hmm… suspect that your sidebar.php was a sub template for just showing the sidebar.
There should be a page template in your theme that includes a sidebar. What theme are you using?
In reply to: Different Sidebar for the ForumsHey no problem !
In reply to: compact bbpressThat doesn’t seem to be possible in 2012, which forces a sidebar if you want a search facility, and which consumes a lot of vertical space with the identity of the contributor, including a large avatar.
Good job we’re in 2014 then 🙂
If you switch on the search facility
dashboard>settings>forums and look for search allow forum wide search, you’ll get a search bar at the top of the forums pagefor the avatar size use the following code in your functions file
function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) { $author_avatar = ''; if ($size == 14) { $size = 24; } if ($size == 80) { $size = 110; } $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id ); if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) { if ( !bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id ) ) { $author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ), $size ); } else { $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size ); } } 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);The example increase the size, just change to to what you want
see https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/ for how to do that
you can also remove things like keymaster – just come back with what you want – and we’ll try to help you
In reply to: Forum Page does not have link to LoginYour link takes you to a registration page
there are several ways to get a login.
You can use a sidebar and add the login widget
or you can add a login to your menus
or a modal loginIn reply to: My topics side bar is not appearing in my forum?Ok,
Can you confirm that that you actually followed my instructions? Which weren’t to re-install the widget. If you’ve simply done that then you would not have changed any settings (they remain in the database on deletion and are just re-enlivened when the widget is re-installed) and you would still have the problem. If you follow the instructions, this changes settings and in many cases gets it working.
But assuming you haven’t tried to guess what I was trying to get you to do, and have followed the instructions and these didn’t work, then we’ll try approach 2.
This involves installing another plugin and using that to set conditions on the sidebar.
so go to dashboard>plugins>install new and look for ‘widget logic’ by Alan Trewartha and install that.
This lets you set conditions on when a widget appears in the sidebar.
so now in your main sidebar if you look at any widgert you’ll see a new box at the bottom which says widget_logic
for any widgets you want in all your pages including bbpress – just leave this blank
for widgets that you just want in bbpress pages add the logic
is_bbpress()in the widget logic box
for widgets that you don’t want in bbpress pages add the logic
!is_bbpress()in the widget logic boxIn reply to: Sidebar reappear in topic and topic/can you post the code from your current bbpress.php
In reply to: bbPress menus not appearing in some of my sites“well, that’s life in the world of WordPress, so live with it”, which is what your first comment conveyed” – yep and it’s what I meant – having coded several plugins, I can with some certainty say that the way you link to wordpress does mean that several people can hook to the same item and affect each other, and no we can’t test all plugins against all other plugins.
But your offer to try and come up with a repeatable problem would be great, and if you can do so I’d be happy to try and look and let you know why a particular plugin is affecting.
However 5 people going to the doctor after having been to the gym doesn’t mean there’s a common problem or that the gym is to blame 🙂
Anyway I look forward to hearing from you when you’ve had a chance to investigate.
In reply to: bbPress menus not appearing in some of my sites‘ Not trying to assign “blame” here, but it seems that this may be a case of where one can’t solve a problem until one admits there really is a problem to be solved. ‘
sounds awfully like you are 🙂
A problem needs a problem definition, so if you can supply a series of repeatable steps which a) create the problem, and then b) eliminate it, I’d be delighted to have a look – by the way I’m not a bbpress developer, just a humble user like you who tries to give back something for what I have gained from this great free software. If you like to help, then that would be great !
I deactivated, deleted, reinstalled, and reactivated the Easy WP SMTP plug-in and tested: same result (below.)
OK, but did you just deactivate the plugin, and then test a forum post. I was keen to see if the problem was being caused by bbpress or the plugin.
@nightcoder – you’re issue may or may not be the same. That’s why I’m keen to get surachar
to see if they have the problem without the plugin.The bit of code you quote is the bit that sets up the variable for the to address, but as far as I can see there’s nothing there that should be causing a problem, it simply strips the http part from the URL as set in wp_options ‘home’.
In reply to: Forum index not ordering topics by Freshnesssorry am busy on a tractor haymaking, so am not on here as much as usual !
I suspect that it is theme related, can you try switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve for a quick test and seeing if the order changes?
Come back and let me know
In reply to: not sending password to new registered memberyou’re welcome
In reply to: bbPress menus not appearing in some of my sitesThese issues will occur with different combinations of plugins, and it is nobody’s fault.
and it will never be eliminated.Wordpress is free open source software. It allows others to hook into it using Filters and actions, as well as using templates and functions. Additionally theme developers can affect the way wordpress functions. This lets lots of other people change how wordpress works and add both functionality and looks.
So if two developers both hook into the same bit of code, the actions of one can alter or even cancel out the other’s code.
With many thousands of plugins it is simply impossible for developers to test to see if their plugin works with every other plugin out there.
bbPress is thoroughly tested with the latest version of WordPress, in combination with all of the wordpress default themes (twentyten, twentyeleven etc.) to ensure it functions. Most bbpress plugin developers will also test against this combination to give a good degree of conformance.
This is the best that you can get.
It is no more the fault of bbpress that it doesn’t work with plugin A, than it is the fault of plugin A that it doesn’t work with bbpress!
Sorry but that is life 🙂
Open source means you get lots of great FREE software but you don’t get an integration guarantee – it’s pretty damn good, but sorry not perfect.
And It’s nobody’s fault !
In reply to: not sending password to new registered memberdelay was only a few minutes – probably host related.
In reply to: not sending password to new registered memberCORRECTION
whilst slow, I have now got a username and password so the process is working.
Suggest you get the screen display to work and you should be ok !
In reply to: not sending password to new registered memberok, you have some distinct display issues caused by lots of adverts,masking any input, which are certainly not helping, but tried it and received no email.
This is a wordpress/host set up issue not a bbpress one.
EDITED : see post below
In reply to: My topics side bar is not appearing in my forum?ok, could be many things, and we could spend a lot of time trying to track down the exact issue.
So we’ll go for two options
presuing that the “downloaded recommended plugin” is bbpress wp tweaks then lets start with :
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivateGo into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgetsAnd look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebarlet us know if that works.
In reply to: Missing User ID in login widget.can’t see your issue as I’m not a user, so can’t login !
You screen display seems to have some issues though.
‘Could it have something to do with changing the primary “name” profile field? ‘ – quite probably what exactly did you do to ‘change’ this?
In reply to: not sending password to new registered membercan you post a link to your site so that I can try it
