just seen you later post – you should have

dashboard>settings>forums

have you got that?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

ok, I presume the one topic posted is after you re-installed

did you have topics before that you are expecting to see?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi, sorry but can you post a screenshot of what it looks like via say photobucket?

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

did you install any other plugins in between?

try

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.

I know you’ve done themes already, but you need to test if it works on a default theme with just twentyfourteen and the bbpress plugin. If it doesn’t then something in your site is screwed up 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

presume you removing the titles from

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums

and renaming as per

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3

then

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum

has the content that you’ll want to take out

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

but you don’t have to do it al at once, so take a pause and go back to it in a short while… 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

yes it was supposed to change the color to black.

You can change it to whatever color you want

see

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp

and maybe use

http://colorcop.net/

to find the right color

Please don’t stop – keep improving that is what you are supposed to do, you’ve come a long way – learned how to create a test site, add functions and styles, but it requires effort ! Learning firebug will help you tailor your site’s styling. Adding color cop will let you choose colors – please keep working at getting a site that is what you want. 🙂

‘ I am afraid to mess with these things like firebug. 🙂 ‘ – 1. that is what the test site is for, 2. conquering fear is part of life’s journey, and surely this is only a very petty fear – work through it !

I’ll come back on registration when I get a moment.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

hmmm.. ok but we’re starting to need lots of extra code

ok so add

#bbpress-forums a {
color: #111111 !important ;
}

This will change the font throughout, and you can play with the colour.

If you want the topic and date to be different, we’re getting into some real css styling, which is beyond the purpose of the bbpress support forum, and perhaps you need to start to look at how to use firebug so you can see what you need to change eg

then you can style any forums part by preceding it with

#bbpress-forums as I’ve done above.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

to change the font (sorry I missed that) , change it to

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
color: #666 !important;
font-family: ‘Open Sans’,Arial,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

No 2 did not seem to work on the test so i did not add it live. I added it to the bottom of the style.css so I am unsure if that is the issue.

No 2 changed the font colour and size of the forum list – look at ‘prayer requests’ in you test and live sites to see the difference.

What else do you want to change?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

@marianne78 not quite sure what you are saying.

Can you detail
how many forums you have,
whether they are all private,
when the message appears (eg when not logged in),
whether you are using a forum page with bbp-index in it,
what settings you have for dashboard>settings>bbp private groups in forum visibility settings and general settings

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Now, can you explain what registration process you would like eg

user does this
what user info you want
emails goes from..to…saying
Site manager does that…

etc. ie design your ideal process 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

you’re welcome

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

for no. 1, add this code to your functions file

//display last topic title in freshness for forums
function display_title ($anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id ) {
$anchor = '<ul><li><a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $title) . '</a></li></ul><a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
return $anchor ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'display_title', 10, 6 );

Having coded it, I like the way it displays, and will be adding to the forums on one of the sites I support – one of the reasons I support this forum is that I learn and get ideas from others 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

to your functions file see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

for no. 2

add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
  color: #666 !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

to your style.css

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

in the meantime, you can move it in your style.css

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

great, come back with your next query !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Yes,

If you have a forum page ie a wordpress page that has [bbp-forum-index] in it, (ie you’ve use method 2 rather than method 1 in this link

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

then go into edit on your forum page

Switch to text from visual and put

Create a new topic before the [bbp-forum-index] to get it at the top or after it to put it at the bottom.

or you could use

[bbp-topic-form] after the [bbp-forum-index]

or

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] to display a single forum topic form.

Lots of possibilities.

If you don’t have a set wordpress forum page, then you can create one, see method 2 in the link above

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Great – thanks !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

@zdev1 – yes thanks, I’ve responded to you on my plugin page.

Any testing help you can give me to resolve would be appreciated !

Let me know if you can help !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

ok try

Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate

Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets

And 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 sidebar

As soon as you’ve got the site vaguely going again, you need to STOP !!!! YES STOP!!!!!!!!!!

Then take a breath, and create a test site – you cannot continue to develop your site in live, and you need a child theme. So you’ll need to read.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

Once you have a test site, you can change things there first and then when you are happy put it into live.
