@desiamerican26 do the new buttons show up on topic and reply forms??

if it does , you can uninstall and try to find a different way to display video galleries , i guess.

i dont know this is a decision you more have to make now.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

never mind ill just edit the plugin

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks a bunch for your help. You help big time….Thanx a lot again

@desiamerican26 yes i do help big time, haha your welcome 🙂

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@robin-w is there a filter i could use to output a different template

i dont want certain items to be seen when i add this shortcode somewhere, and the easiest is copying a template and renaming it and just removing the unwanted code.

i want to basically just edit this

// Output template
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-topic' );

is there a way to change it to

// Output template
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-topicno' );

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

because otherwise you can just make a custom bbpress theme

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Sorry I don’t understand.

Is this functionality already built in?

no its really a question

is all of this that you are working on suppose to modify the backend profile in wordpress??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@desiamerican26 ok enable the visual editor

install this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

TinyMCE Advanced

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

this is all backend in wordpress??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

I’m glad I don’t have to look at my face anymore haha.

haha no problem

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

yehhhh your theme is acting weird..

make sure you added it correctly, other than that try this css code

div.bbp-template-notice.info {
display: none;
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

place this inside your child themes functions.php

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

    return '';

}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

the last is pretty hard. because i never found a template where you can edit the notices.

do you want these notices at all??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

mann your bbpress is acting weird….

try

span.bbp-topic-freshness-author img {
width:20px;
height:20px;
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

okay on loop-single-topic.php in your child theme

look for

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

does it show 14 on your theme??, to remove it replace with this

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

did it work??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

when you edited the template , did you just remove the array( 'size' => '14' )

because when i look at http://revlanka.com/forums/forum/automotive-news/local-news/

it doesnt even show started by: Admin anymore, just remove the array code and that should remove the avatar and thats it.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

i have bbpress and i dont have a forum specific sidebar

so it must be something else. Do you have this plugin??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

if your just using it for a forum specific sidebar, custom sidebars plugin can do that??
you just create a sidebar and only place it on forums, replies, topics then just throw those widgets in there.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@tonydes i just forgot about this, do this first

pay attention to the started by image on the link to your forums in the above post.

add this for custom css ,

span.bbp-topic-started-by img {
width:20px;
height:20px;
}

does that change the size??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@aussiestar14

ok what should be on this bbpress sidebar??

is it a plugin, did you make it out of the plugin custom sidebars??

tell me as much information that you can about it.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

first one more question , do you have custom css rules that you added already that include modifying images?

I don’t have a bbpress custom theme

okay create a bbpress custom theme now, add all the templates into your child theme.

more info here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/

lets work on this first http://revlanka.com/forums/forum/automotive-news/local-news/

since it has the issue on the notice , started by and freshness authors

now go to loop-single-topic.php and find

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

does it say 14 ?

if you dont want the started by author image remove make it where its like this

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

tell me if that works

I’m pretty novice at this, but does this mean that I have to edit from the style sheet?

all of the images that have issues (started by, notice, freshness), are sized in the templates in php rather than css .

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@tonydes

what is your theme?? (you should link to it if you can)
what are all your plugins??
are you making a bbpress custom theme?? (did you copy the templates into your child theme??)

a work around for displaying some avatars, is copy the templates in the child theme, look for the specific call of an avatar and wrapping a class around it then include certain css for that class and image,css display:none; the rest and see if that works.

other than that it might be cdns , or it could be where you have to contact your theme developer.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Didn’t know that it is that complicated… -.-

i hate messing with your theme but ILL try to fix it.

okay Full width vs bbpress sidebar , choose one now.

what is creating this bbpress sidebar??

ILL work on getting the footer back first, but yeah its going to be some time later, so try to be patient.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

@tonydes you dont know how much im laughing, its like your forum is bombarded with a gallery of your self portrait. xD

do you want the started by and freshness authors still if they were just a smaller size??

and also the notice author image if it was a smaller size??

but first try this if you dont want any of those avatars, see if this code works.

.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

never mind on this … ILL just go reply to the other topic.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Is there some code generator and if not the plugin, I guess I can add it in “Style.css”

I just need when people posting in forums they have options to change color and size of font. I am unable to find something

you want a code generator , so that users have an option to change font color and font size, I do not know how to do this, so i cant help much here.

as for CSS I am not very familiar with that.

everything in the documentation says all about using css ,and how to, using firebug.

give me something specific to change the font size and color ,and ILL help you there.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

dont reply on the other topic you made

pretty much just copying the same thing from this

Finding .css style file

give me a link to your site

so i can see if its a special code in your template making the avatars huge
if its a .avatar css rule making all the avatars on your site big
or if i could find something else.

I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?

thats not a good idea , it will be lost next upgrade.
