yeah you shouldnt edit the core files.

i see there is additional quotation marks in your code maybe replacing it with this will help.

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '90' ) ) ); ?></span>

@shortgigs

its probably because your bbpress styling is custom or you need to clear some cache maybe.

make an administrator account with also the forum role being keymaster. and send the login details to robkk17@gmail (dot) com and ill check on it later.

i need an administrator/keymaster account just so i can check on the IP address thing.

[Robkk]

i havent found a plugin that can do such thing especially allow users to select the tag , sort of like how reddit forums operate.

to hire a dev you can go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

it might just be the UI plugin you installed so maybe deactivate that and see if that fixes it

but just to make sure make me a subscriber account for your site so i can check it out first hand.

you probably just need some CSS.

[Robkk]

yes there is some out there

userpro (paid plugin) has this type of thing
there is buddyverified which needs buddypress installed also

@skisma

this topic is for changing the role names background color.

like for example this site has them with a gray background

if i use the code snippet above i can have blue for participants , red for keymasters , and yellow for moderators and so on for each role just by applying a little CSS.

make a new topic and ill check out doing that in the next few days when i setup my custom cpu up all right with a local dev area and not use linux anymore.

[Robkk]

@skisma i think that was just a mockup from this website in the link below

and the author of this topic just stumbled upon it.

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?630149-bbPress-theme-project-Design-wireframe-UI/page3

and since this is from 2009 it is most likely the bbpress standalone version 1.0x and such

but you could accomplish close to the same result using wp-usersonline plugin and also the inbuilt stats shortcode and just a little bit of CSS.

create a new topic about this though.

[Robkk]

untick topic/reply edit logging in settings>forums to disable the logging of future posts.

and add this CSS anywhere you can add custom CSS to hide the edit logs on any existing posts.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
display: none;
}

@dice2dice

are you using bbPress Topics for Posts??

because i think that plugin has that kind of functionality if i can recall.

[Robkk]

when i went to http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/forums/

i saw the forums listed.

can you just not see it??

or is it something else.

it could be a cache issue try to clear your cache from a plugin you have and see if that fixes it.

[Robkk]

// 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
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">My Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

i just edited the code listed here

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robkk]

@situationerdk

most of the features users wanted in that survey can be achieved with some plugins listed here

Feature Plugins Tracking

attachments you would have to use gd-bbPress attachments
quotes you can use bbPress direct quotes or gd-bbPress tools
for using bbPress for WordPress comments you can use the bbPress topics for posts plugin

if you just want users to be able to edit their comments use the simple comment editing plugin

if you think bbPress needs specific features added to the core of the plugin make a new topic about that.

[Robkk]

i hope @jjj adds more bee puns somewhere

it might not be something users want , but its something users NEED.

jokes aside yeah like Robin said the next release does have some plans to improve performance.

[Robkk]

i think this topic is resolved

Splitboard Talk Forum

[Robkk]

its really simple to achieve this type of thing , use a plugin like this

wordpress.org/plugins/log-out-shortcode/

the plugin basically uses some code already in WordPress that you can use.

codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url

[Robkk]

@joedostie

bbpress.org does not insert the icons with html in the topic info area , they just use CSS

bbpress.org uses this css for any icon for the topic info.

.sidebar .forum-info li:before, 
.sidebar .topic-info li:before, .sidebar div ul li a:before {
font: normal 16px/1 'dashicons';
margin-right: 5px;
float: left;
padding-top: 3px;
color: #000;
}

then they use this to add the star icon packaged with dashicons

.sidebar .topic-info li.topic-favorite:before {
content: '\f155';
}

@skisma

you create a folder named bbpress in the root of your theme and put the file there.

heres more info https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

first create a new forum but change the type to category.

for each new forum you want in the category , make sure the forums parent is that category.

to reorder the forums change the id

I’m pretty sure I need to access my cPanel and then navigate to my file manager, correct?

well you can do that or FTP , whatever you are comfortable with i guess.

[Robkk]

There is two sites that run bbPress that i think should be in this showcase list.

This one is highly customized that you might think that it does not run bbPress .but if you look at some of the source code of the topic pages you will see it does.

Discussions

CSS-TRICKS have been running bbPress for awhile now and i think they they use the plugin quite nicely too.

http://css-tricks.com/forums/

[Robkk]

its probably because the way you have it setup it is not in the header.

maybe this will work

a.bbp-forum-permalink, 
a.bbp-topic-permalink, 
a.bbp-reply-permalink {
display: none;
}

if it doesnt try to look into the source code with inspect element and find a selector to put the before each a. link

[Robkk]

download the .zip then copy the file loop-forums.php into a folder that should be in your child theme called bbpress

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

[Robkk]

@jawittdesigns

hopefully @netweb or @robin-w will pick this up since they browse the bbpress plugin files way more than i do.

[Robkk]

im kind of leanging that you might need some custom development for this

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

but im not sure if this kind of plugin is what you are after

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

[Robkk]

first remove all the CSS code you just posted , from where you are putting this custom css

it looks all jenky..haha

im going to use most of the CSS code i posted here

How do i change the color of the text and box?

/* header and footer that says AUTHOR , POSTS , VOICES, TOPICS , FORUMS */

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, 
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: #000 !important;
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 8px;
text-align: center;
}

/* this is the background of the forums and topics that display the title, the freshness stats and so on. */

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, 
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
background: #000;
}

/* this is the header that shows the post date and post ID */

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
background-color: #000;
}

/* try to make these two different types of dark shades if you care about having an AB color pattern of replies/topics/forums. */

#bbpress-forums div.odd, 
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #000;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even, 
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #000;
}

here is the code to remove the text decoration from the forum titles

.bbp-forum-title,
.bbp-forum-title a {
text-decoration:none;
}

[Robkk]

@schneidi76

add this anywhere you can put custom css

add !important at the end if it doesnt work at first too.

to shrink username , change 12px to something lower if you want to go smaller

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name {
clear: left;
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
}

to make user role disappear

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role {
display: none;
}

the IP is only seen by keymasters , and it is very useful if you want to block users who are spammers, but if you want to remove it just use this CSS.

span.bbp-author-ip {
    display: none;
}

[Robkk]

the Private Groups plugin needs bbPress so both.

Robins got you just in case you forgot about the topic in his plugin support forum
