    – Great – thanks for posting that – I’ll take a look

    No, it’s been around for quite a while.

    Try it !

    that uses a class of bbp-forum-title

    @robin-w

    Yes, I was giving you the sort of code you need to write, in this case to write stuff to usermeta.

    As I said this is not a bbPress issue as bbPress just uses wp-posts, so you’d do better on their forum

    “On this forum you have a nice clean bar showing create topic favorites and subscriptions, how can I create this on my forum. Does not have to be exactly the same but similar.”

    Answered in another post

    “Not sure if that’s the correct way to go about it but seems to work!”

    Suggest you read the setting up guides for how and where to change templates

    Codex

    “Also how can i fix the subscribe button/link as it is not displayed very well as you can see here. ”

    Agree, not quite sure where this displays, will look when I get a moment

    ‘Also i created a page which i put the shortcode for new topic form which i link to from the main forum page as a button. this is great but the form does not display well on the page. How can i fix this? the forum is really spaced out as you can see here ‘

    Not quite sure what this photo is showing, the button or the resultant page? Can you post the method or code you used on the “main forum page”

    The form only displays when you’re logged in, so we can’t see what your issue is. Can you post a picture via say phtotbucket, and detail what you feel is wrong

    Suspect it’s not an Askimet issue.

    Might be that you were doing something to the site at the time, loads of potential issues with what your user was doing at the time, including the one you mention.

    You should create a bbpress directory under your theme

    ie

    wp-content/themes/yourthemename/bbpress

    and copy any bbpress templates to there.

    bbPress will then use these instead of the default template ones

    Otherwise any templates you alter will be overwritten by any upgrades and you’ll have to do the work all over again !

    No problem, I had seen this “notify me of follow-ups” checkbox in another thread.

    Suspect it needs to be a setting option in a later version, as I like it to check automatically !

    ok, I think that’s the way to go, as whilst all my suggestions work, something is not right in the way you are implementing them, not your fault, wordpress “under the bonnet” takes a little learning

    Good luck, an come back if you spot other areas, and I’ll try and resolve

    Presume you’re not using a cahing plugin. Try refreshing your browser

    Othersie I’m stumped, it and the previous solution should work

    Can you post your site’s url so that I can see

    REPEAT : It would take a long time to go through what you would need to do – Basically it is all to do with styling and functions.

    The problem is that in answering this question I’d need to explain firefox and firebug, css, php bbpress structure and lots more.

    But to get you started – THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION – but a couple of lines that will see you get further forward. you’ll need to look at “inline” as well to get the is horizontal.

    You could do a bar several ways, but the easiest is create a copy of your page template for bbpress to use

    see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ section 8

    and then play with the following

    in css add

    #subnav {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #2020ff;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-top: 81px;

    }
    and in you bbpress page template put under the header

    <div id=”subnav”>
    <ul id=”nav-user” class=”menu”>

  • Register
  • Lost Password
  • </div>

Just had a look, and it all worked fine for me.

Can you check with some other users to see if it is just you, and try it with you logged out to see if being admin is affecting it.

@robin-w

If you only have yourself and your client as registered wp users, the go into Dashboard>forums> and select the forum name, and change it’s visibility to hidden. Then only logged on users will see it.

If you have lots of users, and want to restrict this forum to just you and him, then you’ll need to add a filter – come back if this is the case, and I’ll take a further look when I get a moment

If you’re looking at the main forum list, then the sub forums use

.bbp-forums-list li for font size

@robin-w

It’s do-able undoubtably, but not sure how much code you’d need to change.

Why are you wishing to do this?

@robin-w

Moderator

Once you have imported the forums, do a forum repair

Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums.

This will join it all up again.

Only run one at a time, and I’d run each one to ensure it all links up again

Really a wordpress not a bbPress question, and quite a techy area

This is the code that I use to add a location to user details, which should help get you started.

//this function adds the updated town and county info to the database
function bbp_edit_user_tc( $user_id ) {
	$town = ( $_POST['town'] ) ;
	$county = ($_POST['county'] ) ;

	// Update town user meta
	if ( !empty( $town ) )
		update_user_meta( $user_id, 'town', $town);

	// Delete town user meta
	else
		delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'town' );
		
	//Update county user meta
	if ( !empty( $county ) )
		update_user_meta( $user_id, 'county', $county);

	// Delete county user meta
	else
		delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'county' );
}
add_action( 'personal_options_update',         'bbp_edit_user_tc' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update',        'bbp_edit_user_tc' );

}

It would take a long time to go through what you would need to do – Basically it is all to do with styling and functions.

The basics are covered in the documentation in the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/ and some of the step by step stuff and layout will help you.

umm, Now I’m a bit confused.

The filter only affects the bbp breadcrumb, so that fact that your theme doesn’t have breadcrumbs is irrelevant.

If you just add that code to your themes functions, it will be used by bbPress as it loads and not display.

I presume that’s where you put the previous code to change to blogs? If not try that code again!

Whilst you can add it to a default theme such as twenty eleven, keep a note of it, as any theme upgrade will overwrite it. you should consider a child theme to let you make changes without affecting the core code and themes see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/ for some info on child themes

In your functions file in your theme (as with the last filter)

Wp-content/%yourtehemename%/functions.php

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme 🙂

hmmm…my version works perfectly, one email per topic or reply.

bbPress uses WordPress to email, and the line in bbress notify is
`@wp_mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
`
Maybe that something within your wordpress/host setup is causing the issue (I suspect from yoru comments you already think this might be the case).

I’d suggest you do a test. in Dashboard>settings>discussion enable “email me whenever anyone posts a comment” and then post a comment to a blog (not bbPress). If you get more than one email, then it is not a bbPress problem, and try posting it to https://wordpress.org/support/ for help.

code to remove it is

function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) { return true;
 }
add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');
