ok, can you confirm that this is what is in the forum content? I can then try and help from there
given that Astra have not replied, if you want me to take a paid look to see if I can see the issue, contact me and we can set a budget
Contact me
I will, presume you found the ‘save’ action
that looks like the forum descrioption – ie what is entered in
dashboard>forums>all forums>edit (a forum!) and the content under the title
ok, so does it work with Twenty Twenty-Two and Twenty Twenty-three? then we know the problem is with Astra
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
so for your first, try this
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'rew_amend_forums' , 10 , 3) ;
function rew_amend_forums ($title, $original_title, $prefix ) {
if ($title == 'Forums') $title = 'Private Forums' ;
return $title ;
}
for your second, this is really one for Astra – I could spend many hours looking for an answer is their code.
but based on your previous post you could try
#bbpress-forums {width:100%;}
thanks for updating us, let us know if it occurs again, and if it does, run a second time to see if that clears it
hmm.. I’d suspect maybe a theme issue – some themes will intercept what they see as a ‘archive’page and allocate a title to it.
what theme are you using?
Tim,
I freely confess that I have had little to do with buddypress as I have never had the need of it.
But my understanding is that buddypress simply uses bbpress, so creation/deletion/edit in the buddypress area will also change if you access the forum directly. If you are not seeing this, then I might suspect caching software not updating.
so when you say
BuddyPress has its own forum which is bland and limited and bbPress is the “nice” functional forum
I’m not sure what you are seeing in one that is not in the other – can you give an example to help.
I haven;t checked, but have you also posted this in the buddypress support page ?
great – love it when an idea proves right !!
waiting for an email from someone else, so playing with this – this should work
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background-color: blue;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background-color: green;
}
if you put this in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css
then it will exceute at the right point
let me know if it doesn’t work
so do you want
1. forum header and footer color A and topic header and footer color B or
2. both headers color A and both footers color B ?
In suspect if you are posting as you (eg say a keymaster) then it won’t do the check, can’t say for sure without delving into code, but try as a participant
Great – glad to have helped
there’s always a way, but only so much time I can devote – if I get a moment, I’ll take a look
I suspect that you are not a keymaster, they are the ones who see forums.
only a keymaster can appoint another, so if no-one is a keymaster to appoint you, then install this additional plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
and you will be able to set yourself as one.
I was sure it had a ticket, but can’t find, so I’ve created a new one.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3538
Given that you are seeing this, can you change the wording in the bbpress file and see if the error goes away – it should cause no issues, it would just get overwritten by an update. Given that a new version is unlikely to be released anytime soon, it should stop them appearing for you, and would confirm that this is the fix.
great – glad to have helped
I would add that the replies but doesn’t work with threaded replies, but I am not a fan of threaded replies !
If you are using them come back, but from a quick inspection, it looks like the ‘replies per page’ in the dashboard>settings>forums>replies per page doesn’t work for threaded replies in all cases.
so try this code, amending the numbers to what you want
if (wp_is_mobile()) {
add_filter ('bbp_get_topics_per_page', 'mobile_topics_per_page') ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_replies_per_page', 'mobile_replies_per_page') ;
}
function mobile_topics_per_page () {
return '4' ;
}
function mobile_replies_per_page () {
return '3' ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
