Did you create a separate .ccs file – if so, could you post it here (surround it with the code button) so that others can see what you did, and I’ll maybe use it in the official documentation as an example !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Nice piece of integration !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

No I wasn’t able to check

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

I think the plugin talked about membership form -, have you actually tried it?

Personally I just use cformsII plugin – google it and a video on how to set it up as its flexible but not very friendly initially – just create a form and then create a “register” page and put the short code in, and hook your login widget to it.

It does mean manual registration – ie you need to set each user up, but that lets me check who’s joining !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

This may look a bit messy but without spending a lot of time

In loop-single-reply.php (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)

change line 45 which uses bbp_reply_author_link

and use

bbp_get_reply_author_avatarto display the avatar and

bbp_get_reply_author_id
to get the id – you’ll then need to play with maybe

bbp_get_reply_author()
putting the id in the brackets

eg bbp_get_reply_author(bbp_get_reply_author_id )

should give you the username rather than display name

you’d then need to play with

content-single-topic.php for the forum lists (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Can you post a link to your site?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Try this one, I haven’t used it, but seems to cover what you want

https://wordpress.org/plugins/membership/

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Ok.

I’d suggest you create a page called “forums” and put the code

[bbp-forum-index] in it

You can then style this page to have no sidebar

Otherwise with widget logic, you would still have a sidebar, but could alter what is displayed in forums and your blog. As stated above, just add a widget to your sidebar, and use the codes above in the widget logic box

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

first name & Last name are included in my bbpress profile, can you post a link to yours so we can see?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

Good, I might give it a go, was on my list of things to try when I get a moment !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

yes, there’s a plugin that does this for you

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/

Haven’t used it yet, let us know if it works for you

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

ok, I can see your problem

Not sure why the plugin isn’t picking this up – would be worth a post on the authors support site

http://veppa.com/blog/forums/

However lets also try a different approach.

Download “widget logic”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

This plugin lets you specify conditions for when widget items are displayed.

You would then put all the widgets for both the blog page and the forum page in one sidebar

Against each of these you then specify whether you want it to appear on the forum page, on any page with a sidebar that is not the forum 9ie your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.

you do this by putting the following code in the widget logoc box that you will see appears against each widget

For a forum sidebar you put : is_bbpress() ie is this page a forum page
For any other sidebar you put : !is_bbpress() ie is this page NOT a forum page
For any item to appear on both, simply leave the logic blank.

Give that a try and come back and let us know how it works

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Can you post a link please?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Create a page, and put the following shortcode in it

[bbp-forum-index]

or if you want to get more specific then look at all the shortcodes

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Vkymunir, you should really start your own topic, but as you’ve posted here, go to the following link

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Unfortunately it’s css and php files that you will need to amend

Quickest change would be to add the following to your style.css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: list-item !important;
font-size: 11px;
}

or to amend the display line in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css line 121

That’ll get your list vertical.

Add descriptions to your forums (dashboard>forums>edit and put something in content) and you’ll have the next part.

Then if you want to alter the display, you’ll need to look at loop-single-forum.php

or the main forum display loop-forums.php

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

It’s quite simple to get ti up and running – just work you way through the following resource

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

If you are using a default core theme, it’ll be going in a couple of hours. if you have a custom theme, the functionality will be there, but the look and feel might be a little different from your theme, and you’ll need to style it – not that hard to do, but does require some knowledge of using FTP and a code editor.

I’ll be finishing this article during the next week.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

is_user_logged_in()

is the function you want

$user = ( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;
will get you the username, so probably
is_user_logged_in($user) should get you there

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve just created a fresh wordpress site 3.7.1 with theme twentytwelve, and added bbpress 2.4.1 to it.

I am able to create forums, set up users, tools etc. etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Yes totally.

You can create a full width page forum if you wish – if your theme has a full width page option then just create a full width page, put the index shortcode within it [bbp-forum-index].

But it may be better to have a separate sidebar, so that you can have login and latest posts – see http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums for an example.

Once you have installed bbpress, then install a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks. it gives you a forum specific sidebar, so you can add login and latest posts widgets

You can also use a plugin called “widget logic” with your normal sidebar to control what widgets are seen on what pages. For instance a widget will not appear if you use the logic !is_bbpress()m or will appear if you use is_bbpress()

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, create a page called say “foumsd2 and put the following shortcode in

[bbp-forum-index]

There’s a full list of shortcodes at

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

One a day, lots every day?

Can you post your url?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

OK, when I get a moment I’ll create a new site and try it from a blank canvass.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

OK, try going into

Dashboard>users>

and edit the username you’re looking at

at the bottom there should be a setting for level of forum access. For full rights it should be keymaster.

Come back and let us know what it is set at, and if not keymaster change it to that and try again

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

suggest you uninstall bbpress and then re-install it.

Come back if that doesn’t work
