Great – glad to hear – I know the forum authors get little praise and many “suggestions for improvements” – so thanks for letting them know that it works for you.

I think it’s a great plugin !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Suspect that you ID bit isn’t working, hence you’re getting zeros

I use a count code to put a total count after the avatar using

function display_counts () 
{
		$post_count = bbp_get_user_post_count( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;
		echo "<br>Total posts : " ;
		echo $post_count ;
		echo "</br>" ;

		}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_counts') ;

and that works fine.

If you doing this for the topic, then $reply_id might be worth having a go at, depends on whether the widget is doing this for the topic, or the last reply !

Otherwise you might need to actually specify an ID (the codex talks about needing to do this if outside the loop, and your widget would not be displayed within the loop eg as in

get_the_author_meta(‘ID’,$ID)

where you have set $ID as the topic user probably in the loop bit.

Don’t know, but worth having a further play

You can remove the first “forums” by dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug

and unchecking “forum prefix”

Is your “darth-forums” a category or a single forum?

Ok, so this is a commercial developers plugins.

Sorry, but I have no idea is they are still functioning.

Suggest you post in their support forum and see if you get a reply !

Your theme has a full width page option viz:

Full Width Post

you can create a page which is full width, and just put this shortcode onto it :

[bbp-forum-index]

Then your forum will display full width.

Can you clarify or post a link to the contact form that deosn’t work

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Den – Thanks for the feedback- on review the guide was both unclear and on one point wrong !

I have amended and updated the guide to make it both clearer and correct in step 5.

Please continue to provide feedback – this helps others who come after you !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

If you don’t put a forum description it is not shown !

Can you show us an example of what you want to see a description, and where you want to not see it ?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

If you fixed this – can you post for others who might find this topic at a later date

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

If I understand you correctly – the breadcrumb is showing

shop>forum

Presume you want something else other than shop?

The problem is that the shop page is your home page – ie if you just have http://www.ladiesbalance.com – the shop page is where you land

In essence you need to change where your wordpress site starts from (probably in your theme), and then the forum will go there.

Loads of people work hard on bbPress – and can I share my thanks to all those that have answered my questions over the last year !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

If you want to create pages specifically to do things, then you can use shortcodes, the list of them is here

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

so if you created a page and form instance put in the shortcode

[bbp-login]

you would have a page with a login.

Above the shortcode you could put some rules, or tell people how to register etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

Try refreshing your permalinks – may or may not help !

go into Dashboard>settings>permalinks and click save.

Come back if that doesn’t work

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

The file that displays this is loop-single-forum

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

You can save a version to your theme – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3

item 3 for how to do this

If you amend the current line 31

from

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

to

<?php bbp_list_forums(array (
		'show_topic_count'    => false,
        'show_reply_count'    => false,
		'separator' => '',
		));  ?>

It will stop it displaying the numbers in brackets after each topic.

To display these against the items will need some code at line 42 – beyond my immediate knowledge as to what you’d put there to get it to match the list

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

If you want to put some rules at the top of your main forum display page, then create a normal wordpress page, type your rules in the content and then at the end put

[bbp-forum-index]

Put that page in your menu, and it will show the rules before showing the forum list

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

WPD – This is quite simple.

When you create a forum, on right hand side under forum attributes there is an option to make it a forum OR a category. Create it as a category, and then add forums to this category by making the forums and then making the parents of these the category forum you have just created.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

Have you got a page associated with the forum?

If not try creating a page called “forums” with a sidebar.

This should work.

If not try adding the following shortcode to that page

[bbp-forum-index]

You can also use a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks to add a specific forum sidebar

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

Suggest you disable all your plugins and try again. If this works -it is a plugin conflict, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the problem.

Otherwise come back and we’ll help further

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

the awpc plugin needs updating go to their support forum and search for bpress

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

yes, if you google ‘Wishlist member & bbpress’ – there’s a whole bunch of posts

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

googled ‘thesis theme & bbpress’ and got several hits saying that bbpress doesn’t function with thesis, and a link to a plugin that might fix it – worth a try or some more googling !

Integrating bbPress to Thesis framework

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

hmm, suspect that the category no base might be the issue, but you’ve said you’ve tried it with it disabled.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

what theme are you using – try switching to a default one eg twentytwelve and see if the issue is theme related.

Has topics stopped working, or has never worked, or is this a new install?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

ok, plan b

upload the “widget logic” plugin

This lets you set widgets to appear in certain conditions

Once uploaded, using your normal sidebar, you can set when a widget appears

You’ll see a new box appear when you add/edit each widget saying “widget logic”. if you want it to appear on a forum page type

is_bbpress()
If you want the widget to appear on other pages, but not obn the forum page type

!is_bbpress()
so you login widget would have the logic

is_bbpress()
and appear only on forum pages

If you didn’t want search on the forum page, you’d put

!is_bbpress()
on that widget and it will not appear
