turns out there is this theme that has this function working

check out https://wordpress.org/themes/wp-knowledge-base

put it on a test site and see that i has what i need in that theme

now all i need is to scrape that code out and i think wrap it in an if user is logged in function and thats it

after that this topic should be done.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

so the theme automatically does it??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

Well then you can take it from here , I think it looks fine where its at now

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

Well its not actually a “button” , it won’t come with a 3-D look and other styles automatically based on how your theme styles a standard button , but I mean you could do that with CSS I think. I just created a link and just added padding , background and font color , and a :hover version to look like a nice flat button.

If you want a more button look you add gradients , or add the input type button parameter in css

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

<a href="http://yoursitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>

this should work after you have done everything in

New Topic Button at top of topic, and Topic Creation on Separate Page

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

.content, #right-sidebar {
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

this should do it , you shouldnt make everything at the top super cozy though.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

copy loop-forums.php in your child theme

then i think it should be placed above

<li class=”bbp-header”>

it wont be exactly like the button on the other site but it should you should get the gist of it.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

Now i am think what the point of having this forum because Mostly Webmaster talks about code and customization and i have limited knowledge regarding that. i think i should abort this forum.

sorry about that,

but how did you get the actions button on each post if you didnt know much about code?
like how did you get a quote link in there??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

for sidebar, also replace that .content code with 5px padding top with this

.content, #right-sidebar {
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

and

#right-sidebar {
float: right;
width: 28%;
padding: 0 0% 0%;
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

@cybarmitzvah

well you shouldnt use that code.

especially this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: -85px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 2.00em;
}

because if you go to your about page, there is text colliding with each other
and never go negative.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

I’ve been looking for it, so if you find it, please let me know!

its probably a custom made plugin, using combined functionality of like 5 plugins i have seen on github.

Again, please let me know if you figure this out! I appreciate it!

well i know for sure they used the show lead topic on their site. but i dont feel like going into templates right now and fooling around with it just yet. So i will do this later today.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

@chakelan you probably need to go to wordpress.org ‘s support to see whats up with your wordpress mail functions or something to.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

it should have but i mean there is space created by different objects.

try this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 1.4875em;
}

if you want to lose more space try this

.container-wrap, footer .ftop {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 2% 0 2%;
width: 96%;
background-color: white;
}

after that there isnt any more you can delete.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

@chakelan is the plugin causing your new problem??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?

try this, but if you see some weird looking css throughout the rest of your site in that area remove it, Or try to find an alternative.

.content {
padding-top: 5px !important;
}

search forum and topic icons in bbpress search then go from there

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

they use , the bbpress shortcode for the new topic form.

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.

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

create a page , lets say “new topic”

add that shortcode, and save

place an html link in loop-forums.php

the link should look like

<a href="http://sitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>

style it with css with

a.bbp-new-topic-button {
background:#009375;
color:#fff;
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

1. http://www.highexistence.com/ should be an example of a great looking bbpress site

Examples

2. i want that Hethens Voting plugin that site has .

3. the reply form below topic post could be there because they are showing the lead topic, and then inserting the reply form after that. not sure i will look at it though.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

saw your site , and see that you have an actions button on each post

i assume you are doing the same thing as my dropdown list for bbpress admin links, or that you took the code from my topic. I think its a great idea , and more help would be great.

As for your site , right now all i can see is that its doing the same thing as this sites support, but i guess if you can come up with some cool ideas and code or i guess some custom themes you could in the future be for bbpress as buddydev.com is for buddypress if you develop some features for bbpress users.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

@kris35

i mean the login widget does come from bbpress so why not use it??

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

heres for sent from name

// Change the Mail Sent from NAME
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'email_sent_from_name' );
function email_sent_from_name( $name )
{
    return 'YOUR COMPANY';
}

credit goes to jordan boston for both functions

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

#1 try

li.cat-item-none {
display:none;
}

#2 if its the subforums??

a.bbp-forum-link {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
}

#3 if you really wouldnt mind it being gone for all pages then

#post-entry article h1.post-title {
display: none;
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

you could output the bbpress statistics shortcode like this , its in that reply

How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

i found this code but i dont know if it helps

// wp_mail altered for bbPress (Mail sent from address)
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'email_sent_from' );
function email_sent_from( $email )
{
    return 'noreply@sitename';
}

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

contact theme developer, other than that no idea.

[@robkk Moderator 12 years ago]

if one registers to wordpress they also are capable of posting on forum topics.

all registration is around wordpress.

bbpress may come with a register shortcode to place on a page ,but all the information still goes to wordpress.
