it was there before you set up full width forums and also not having anonymous user posting

now i would need an account to see if its setup right

i do see this label though which is part of the topic/reply form template.

You must be logged in to…

so im going to assume its still alright

[Robkk]

@foresme

try this.

if it doesnt work reply back

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
margin-bottom:10px;
}

[Robkk]

add to the existing code you are using.

font-weight: bold;

[Robkk]

@coreyvf alright sent an email , tell me if you didnt get it or not.

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast

did you have Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting checked
in the forum settings which are in settings>forums in the back-end of WordPress

[Robkk]

its showing up in the sidebar in the left.

and also normally like below all the topics and replies.

[Robkk]

i took this css right from bbpress.org

add this anywhere you can add custom css
if it doesnt work add !important to the end like this 12px!important;

#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;
}

the default size i think is usually 12px
so either use that or go lower

@webui1

hello

[Robkk]

create me a subscriber account so i could see the topic/reply form ,unless you have anonymous posting on

link me to your site

and let me try to see exactly whats causing the white font color.

[Robkk]

try adding this anywhere you can put custom css

#bbpress-forums #qt_bbp_reply_content_toolbar input {
color: black;
}

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast

i dont understand what you are saying, please speak a little clearer.

[Robkk]

@projectfms

yes

[Robkk]

@edooze

LOL its not complicated at all at least not so complicated to switch to a different forum

basically it says copy the file page.php and rename it to any of the listed options

plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php

then edit the file and remove the things you dont need in your forum

like the comment count , by post author , post category, and post date that are usally posted on blog posts.

[Robkk]

you would need to contact the plugin author about resolving the issue with the bbPress plugin

also make sure that you dont have any of the following problems listed here

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bolcom-partnerprogramma-wordpress-plugin/faq/

other than that try to find an alternative.

[Robkk]

you need to create a bbpress.php file, follow this link to read more info about it.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

since you have custom bbpress templates in your theme

you would have to look at the loop-single-topic.php file in your bbpress folder and compare it to this one which is the plugins version of the file

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ntwb/bbPress/master/src/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php

basically you need this for the started by author avatar

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by' ); ?>

and this for the freshness author avatar

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

hide the wp-login.php page

you can do a redirection from that login form to the other.

Is there any way to turn off the login form portion of the (bbPress) Login Widget though so that it only displays the profile portion when a user logs in?

this is kind of funny since you dont want the login widget for what it does , but i guess you can use a plugin like jetpacks widget visibility and show it only if users are logged in.

there are a bunch of plugins that do what jetpack widget visibility module does.

like this plugin for example

https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-widgets/

[Robkk]

bbPress looks like this by default in a unmodified fresh install with the show topics by freshness shown on the forums root.

[Robkk]

then i guess maybe its this guys plugin

[Robkk]

i found this function doing a search , i havent tested though.

plop the code into your child themes functions.php file or your functionality plugin
and change 100 to whatever you like

function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase-forum-per-page’ );

code is from this topic

Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?

[Robkk]

the font is light gray because you closed the topic.

add this css anywhere you can add custom css,
also maybe change #000 to whatever shade of black you use for your fonts on your content.

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, 
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000;
}

[Robkk]

well its not really a limit on having a certain number of forums
i think its just a limit of it being on the root page since it doesn’t have pagination.

for example if you have over 50 forums displayed in the forum root page any additional forum will not display

I manually add the users as admin.

dont do that, just leave them as subscriber/participant and just manually change the roles of the particpants you want as a moderator .

if you want another admin make sure they are really trust-worthy like a person you knew for a couple months not a few days/weeks.

for people to create topics/replies they have to be a user to your site.

you can go the allow anyone to register which would allow any person to register to your site usually on a fresh wordpress install it would be here

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

if you dont want anyone to register try to go to a invite-only type site i guess.

there is some plugins for WordPress that add this type of functionality they usually allow you to customize your login/registration form too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=invite+only

here are some that might be useful

@evilhare probably , i would just use the custom sidebars plugin by itself though.

unless you really care the login links widget , which if you do you can create simple html links to your login form in the text widget.

example:

<a href="http://example.com/login" title="login">Login</a>

[Robkk]

are you sure bbPress is causing the problem??

deactivate and reactivate your plugins one at a time and check and see if the problem persists when bbPress is activated to make sure.
