This is really a question about how to ‘bundle plugins with a theme’ so I googled that and got lots of stuff including

http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/how-to-bundle-plugins-with-a-theme/27256

have a look around this and the other results

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

Ok, you need to do the following

If you have a child theme, then do this in there

If you don’t have a child theme, then seriously consider creating one, it’s very quick and easy, and will ensure that changes you make don’t get lost on theme or bbpress upgrades. Just google wordpress child theme videos and you’ll get lots of help.

In your theme create a bbpress directory
wp-content/themes/yourthemename/bbpress

then copy

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php to this directory so that you have
wp-content/themes/yourthemename/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php

Edit this file to delete line 60 which says

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

and save.

bbPress will now use the file in your theme’s bbpress folder instead of the default, and you won’t lose your change on bbpress upgrades – but will it it is in your main theme, so if you don’t create a child theme, keep a note of what you changed, as if your theme updates, then you may/will lose the bbpress folder and file.

ok, then as before I’d suggest you go to yoothemes for support.

It may be as simple as changing the page template that bbpress is using

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

It actually is not displaying any of your replies correctly, they are not aligned as the topic is.

I think the culprit is two lines of code in your style sheet
From style line 1659

From style line 1658
.reply {
float: right;
}

.reply a {
float: right;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 22px;
}

Altering reply to float left and reply a to float none seems to fix it.

But it could be that these are being used elsewhere, so just have a look around you site afterwards to check that this hasn’t altered something else.

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

John, really pleased that you tracked it down, and yes I’ll add it to the styling crib when I get a moment ! Often I spend hours searching for the wrong thing, the solutions here are often easy and obvious but only after you have worked them out !

The code

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies{margin-left:25px;}

is exactly the same as

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
 margin-left: 25px;
 }

The computer simply ignores gaps, and coders only write it that latter way to make it easier to read.

You ought to start using a child theme if you haven’t already got one. (just google child theme video, and you’ll get lots of help). it’s very quick and simple and does not affect you main theme, just allows you to add without losing on updates. Then you would create a directory in that called
css viz wp-content/themes/yourchildthemename/css and copy your amended bbpress.css file into that. bbPress will then use that, and you won’t lose changes.

Great that you’re fixed !

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

Did you disable the stylepress plugin, as it seems to be pointing to that?

This plugin is no longer maintained viz

https://wordpress.org/plugins/style-press/

I’d also post a query on the yootheme suppprt site, as they may have come across this

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

Seems you have some theme conflicts

To save me searching, can you post live links to the pages you have in your screenshots, and I’ll take a look

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

No it shouldn’t slow the site down, pictures are an inherent part of any modern website.

However your host provider will have website size limiys, and it may fill that- so you need to keep an eye on it.

In most cases people don’t go mad with photos, but depends on the nature of our site!

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

In fact just done it

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

would require some rewrites of templates.

How into coding are you?

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

couldn’t where ‘dashcamtest.de’ was in your example.

The code is in loop-single-reply, which should show the title using line 22

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

That’s the way it works at the moment – it annoys me as well

You could use the plugin

WP Modal Login

This has a modal (popup) login that is happy for you to get it wrong.

It has a widget that you can use. it’s not a pretty in the widebar as the bbpress one, but smarter when it’s launched.

I have just started using this linked to a menu item, will be documenting how to do the latter when I get a moment.

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

speed wise – this executes as fast as any other menu command on my websites

which menu do you want it to appear on, and is it a custom menu?

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

do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ );
does nothing !

It is the hook onto which you would add an action using a function and an “add_action” command.

If you want to alter behaviour, the it is probably the function after it that you would want to filter.

Come back and describe what you’re trying to achieve and I’ll try and help further

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

You should be looking at the bbpress.css

Suggest you look for Topic and reply content and look at padding

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

Is this a new installation, or has this just started on an old one.

Try disabling all other plugins, and seeing if that fixes it. If so then re-add back one at a time to see which is causing.

If none, the switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it still occurs

Come back and let us know the results

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

Try

The actions are used in the templates held in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

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

There’s some code in the documentation to add a Login/Logout to the menu

see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

item 11.

I am documenting a ‘modal’ (popup) login to add in a few days.

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

You could make one, but if you have the correct privileges you have options in the header of each topic including “trash” which will put it in the trash.

You can also do this from the Dashboard>forums>topics (or replies) and permanently delete it from there

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

Thanks Stephen

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

Think you probably need to crack open the plugin, and see where GD bbPress Attachments is adding a filter, and exactly what code it is using. You might then be able to mod this in your loop to re-strip it out.

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

yes it’s always awkward when even two things don’t work together and both say it’s the other one.

In practice there well maybe no “fault”. If X chooses a hammer and nail to join two bits of wood, and Y chooses a screw and screwdriver, it is neither’s fault that the screwdriver won’t remove the nail, and X can say that Y should have used a hammer, and Y can say that X should have used a screw !

I may not be able to help, but can you post a link to your url and a sample, and I’ll take a look

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

No problem. Just a quick thought, as I might be able to solve it a different way.

Are you using a page called forums and the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

or did it just come sup in your menu when you installed it?

It’s Ok, neither is wrong, I just need to know which !

ie which in section 3 of the attached did you do

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

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

The page you are using to display is a full width page.

Since you are using a child theme of twenty twelve, I presume you still have the default template which has a sidebar.

If so, then copy this file, and rename it to bbpress.php and put it into your theme’s root ie
wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-Child/bbpress.php

That will ensure that bbPress uses a template with a sidebar

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

great, glad you’re fixed !
