In reply to: bbpress sidebar
presume you are using the code is_bbpress() in your widget logic?
In reply to: bbpress Widget in Child Theme?unfortunately you are right. The widgets that bbpress comes with can only be changed by filters, and that may be your solution.
Alternately you can cut the widget code into a plugin. I do this to alter the wordpress login plugin, and once you get into it it’s quite easy, just google creating a plugin for lots fo resources.
You’ll need some plugin code, and then to copy the widget into the plugin. You’ll then need to change the widget name so it doesn’t conflict.
If having themes and plugins in wp-content was a security issue, then WordPress all over the world would be hacked daily, and if wp-content is insecure then all wordpress folders would be and the locations of the wordpress core are all standard.
I’d just put bbpress into a wp-content folder
If you really want to stick with your route, then search the whole bbpress plugin for “wp-content” and just do a copy/paste. it may be one occurance, it could be hundreds.
Of course you’ll need to repeat on any upgrade
can you do a screenshot of a phpbb page to show what you’d like, and add a link to it?
In reply to: Login Widget redirects to dashboarduse the bbpress logon widget in a sidebar on your forum page, and it’ll stay on the forums.
edit : sorry just read your entry again, and that’s exactly what you are doing !
I disable dashboard for all my users – untick “show toolbar when visiting site”
If they logout using the widget (which is their only option if they don’t have toolbar), then they don’t get the WordPress login page.
You can customose the generic login form if you want to keep it see
In reply to: Can no longer post.How long have you had the forum?, and how long have you had the problem?
Have you done any additional plugins, wordpress, bbpress or other plugin upgrades, or changed css or functions recently?
What versions of wordpress and bbpress are you on?
In reply to: Topic link to newest postNot quite sure what you are after
There is a bbpress widget that shows latest topics which you can put into your sidebar.
Otherwise come back and explain some more !
Think this thread should help you
In reply to: turn off new user notificationsuspect this should do it !

In reply to: White box covering Forum screenit’s coming from bbpress stylesheet.
there may be a quicker way to remove this, but one that should work is as follows.
I don’t think you have a childtheme, and now may be the time to consider having one, see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/ for more details
once done you need to navigate to
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
copy this file into a folder called css within your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/css/bbpress.csswhere mychildtheme is the name of your childtheme
Then edit every line that has
background-color : xxxxxxx
change to
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
NOTE it goes from background-color to background
and it is only the background color that you’ll be changing, not lines which just have color: as that’ll be text!eg
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header { background-color: #f4f4f4; }becomes
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); }This will make the background transparent, but with a darker tint shading that you have in your sidebar (the amount of difference is on the 0.4 bit, 0.1 is the lightest, 1.0 the darkest).
Come back if that doesn’t fix it, or for further help
In reply to: widget context – are forum topics same as posts?the answer is probably yes – a forum post is a post
You might do better to install bbPress WP Tweaks Widget Logic plugin which gives you a forum specific sidebar
alternately (or additionally) use widget logic where you can use code like
is_bbpress()or the negative!is_bbpress()to control where widgets are shownIn reply to: Remove – Display the login screen.Biloute,
There are lots of ways into bbpress and wordpress. Can you post a link to the screen you’re talking about so that we can clearly see what text you want to remove.
In reply to: No clickable link in notification emailsgreat, glad you’re sorted !
In reply to: How do you put the "My Profile" link on the menu?ok, that all looks fine.
The error as far as I can work out says that it has an unexpected ‘/ ‘ on the evaluated code on line 4 – so for the code in the profile page line 4 is
?>/edit/">However this may not be a line 4 error, but something that is missing or not evaluating correctly on an earlier line.
I’d try the following
Recheck that the code is pasted exactly as it should be, with no missing characters eg ‘;’s from ends of lines etc. The lines posted in my previous post go passed the visible, so did you scroll to the right – just checking the obvious first !
that your domain is spelled correctly etc.
Then I’d try removing the / from the start of line 4 – the edit bit, and the from the end of the edit bit – I don’t think that’s the problem, but try it anyway.
The just form my sanity copy the code from your page back into a post here, and I try it on my site to see if I get the error.
Then we’ll see where we go from there !
`In reply to: Replying to topics shows blank pageok, great to hear, and suspect you’ll never know why it didn’t – that’s computers for you !
In reply to: How do you put the "My Profile" link on the menu?Ok, thanks for clarifying.
Suspect this could be because your path is slightly different.
Can you go into a profile edit for me , that is into bbpress and then go into edit for a real username
The in the url you should be something like
http://mysite.com/forums/users/admin/edit
Post on here what that path looks like. You can substitute mysite.com for your site, and admin for whatever username you are using, it is the stuff around that I am after.
In reply to: Changing "Forum" on Main PageHey, great that you’re working !
In reply to: How do you put the "My Profile" link on the menu?the best solution so far courtesy of Ronthai
In Dashboard>plugins>add new
Search for WP exec PHP, install and activateCreate a new page called “profile” or whatever name you want
In content of this page, add this code
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://mysite.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo $current_user->user_login . ""; ?>/edit/">Where mysite.com is your site name
If using custom menus, add the page to the menu.
And it works !
In reply to: Menu link to ProfileRonthai – have just tried it for profile, and it works well
Summary of what I did
In Dashboard>plugins>add new
Search for WP exec PHP, install and activateCreate a new page called “profile” or whatever name you want
In content of this page, add this code
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://mysite.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo $current_user->user_login . ""; ?>/edit/">Where mysite.com is your site name
If using custom menus, add the page to the menu.
And it works !
In reply to: Changing "Forum" on Main Pagehmmm…
Should work !
Are you changing it in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php?
or in your child theme?, and if the latter can you detail the path from wp-content/ onwards
In reply to: How do you put the "My Profile" link on the menu?I’m sorry that you feel that something for which you paid nothing isn’t for you.
But I don’t think that abusing the people on here who are trying to help you by saying it sucks is really the way forward.
I hope you are able to find some free software that works precisely as you want.
Whilst most people use sidebars and widgets to perform these functions, I shall continue to see if there is an easy way to get this into a menu and add it to the codex if I work it out.
Best wishes
Robin
In reply to: Replying to topics shows blank pageJust had another thought. Since the error is occurring as part of the submit, it could be an issue with the database.
I’d suggest you run the repair functions for the forums
Dashboard>tools>forums
I’d run them all, BUT ONLY ONE AT A TIME! as they use a lot of resource
In reply to: Replying to topics shows blank pageSteady, wasn’t accusing you of doing anything wrong ! A programming error can occur in plugins, or as a result of a combination of plugins. “You have a programming error” is very different from “you created a programming error” ! That you have an error doesn’t mean you created it !
I still find that when I submit I get a http500 error, but the post has posted. If I click refresh it then works fine.
As you have tried this with all plugins except buddypress disabled, and you have tried it with just twenty-eleven, then I’d suggest you try without buddypress to eliminate that.
If you still have the problem, the suggest you delete and reload both bbpress and buddypress plugins in case they glitched when loading.
In reply to: Very simple question — changing font sizeHey thanks for your kind words, very much appreciated.
I have added you submit button at the bottom of the styling guide, and happy to add any others people will think useful.
I am trying to write a filters and actions guide – but keep getting diverted to other things, and a “creating a test site” guide as well, so hopefully will get these onto site in the next few weeks !
In reply to: How do you put the "My Profile" link on the menu?your last question is easy, .org have customised, just as you are trying to do by adding it as a menu item – we all like it to look slightly differently to others.
I have tried from my little knowledge to get it to work but can’t. The best I can get is
// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' ); function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) { if (!is_user_logged_in()) return $menu; else $user = get_userdata( $user_id ); $name = esc_attr( $user_name ); $user_link = '<li><a href="http://www.mysite.com/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Amend profile</a></li>'; $menu = $menu . $user_link; return $menu; }But this just returns
http://www.mysite.com/forums/users//edit
Sorry, I have given up.
Can someone else get this working? – it is now annoying me !
