checked it out
are you basically making all the css from scratch?? like even the menu positioning (idk why that looks off on my side)??
ya need to fix alot in the css positioning of things and add a tiny bit of spacing to some items
make sure everything is aligned up right and not look awkward in some areas
bbPress – Ajax Replies
this plugin only seemed to work for me when threaded replies is activated
there is a little bug on this
that i could fix in the future
whenever i subscribe to a forum
it shows the menu on subscribed forums in the subscriptions area in your profile
(it showed up on the forums area in my buddypress extended profiles)
easy fix is to turn off subscriptions to forums and topics in bbpress forum settings
ill try to find a css way to fix this , if not ILL look up another way
@netweb i might put this into the codex if i fix all the nooks and crannies
how do I change the font colour of @username?
im going to use my version though , cause i dont know how with the add action version
<p class=bbp-user-nicename><?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?></p>
throw this into custom css
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-user-nicename {
font-weight: bold;
color: #888;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
}
How to add a @username like BBPress forum
<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>
you add this to your loop-single-reply.php template
nevermind i got it , i assumed i could easily do it with css
after a couple of tries i eventually got it
li.bbp-header {
display: none;
}
hides the header on blog posts and forums
but when i add
.post li.bbp-header {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
display:block;
}
the header is now just on forums and not on blog posts anymore
this also works on the li.bbp-footer too
and probably anything else if you just use
display:none; to hide the original css for blog posts
.post to display it only on forum pages
ok i checked out all the steps ,and i literally just copied and pasted my code and it worked
fine for me 
i checked out the code on how to register a new menu in woothemes canvas and it looks a little different from what the code i gave you.
you can take a look at https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/203106807-Add-Custom-Navigation-Menus-in-Canvas and see the how its done.
i pretty much gave you all you need , i just cant work on the exact structure on the code it might be just adding in ‘woothemes’ but i dont know for sure
(i work trial and error, im a 19 y/o newb haha) .
you could wait til @robin-w or @netweb takes over , work it out yourself, or contact woothemes and link them to this topic and maybe they will help you out too.
well maybe there is a problem with recognizing the menu location , like exactly where the function is in loop-forums.php
first let me see a link to your website
then im going to recreate this bbpress menu from the steps i gave you and see if i made an error copying and pasting
by the time i finish this is what you could do
put <nav id="subnav" role="navigation">
<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( 'bbmenu' ) ) { /* if menu location 'bbmenu' exists then use custom menu */
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'bbmenu') );
}
?>
</nav>
below <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
and see if that fixes anything
I use Yoast breadcrumbs from Yoast SEO plugin could that effect the bbpress breadcrumbs
yes
if it checked in the internal links settings
if so to display the bbpress breadcrumbs uncheck it or use this in functions.php in a child theme
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', '__return_false' );
everything on here requires you to have a child theme. especially bbpress templates in your child theme
oh yeh create a new menu, name it , and any links to your forums with the link module in the wordpress menu system . make sure when you see theme locations click bbpress Forum Menu
now save and your menu should show up in your forum archive
okay what they did was register a menu which is a whole lot easier
so first put this in your functions.php if you have a child theme
function register_menu() {
register_nav_menu('bbmenu', __('bbpress Forum Menu'));
}
add_action('init', 'register_menu');
and now put this above <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
which is inside loop-forums.php inside the bbpress default templates
<nav id="subnav" role="navigation">
<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( 'bbmenu' ) ) { /* if menu location 'bbmenu' exists then use custom menu */
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'bbmenu') );
}
?>
</nav>
now put this in your custom css or plugin
#subnav {
background: none;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
width: 100%;
}
#subnav ul {
font-size: 13px;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
}
#subnav li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
margin: 6px 4px;
}
#subnav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #555;
background: #ddd;
padding: 2px 8px;
border: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
}
#subnav li a:hover {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
border-color: transparent;
text-shadow: none;
}
tell me if you come into any problems , so i can see if i hadd a problem copy and pasting
its basically html links manually written to go to each forum
like what you did to link to singletrackworld, it just has a little bit of style with css
ILL hook you up in a minute(it will be awhile) though
@dottedpixel
could you highlight what you want exactly
cause im not sure what you want , the way the forums itself display?
or the links above the forum that display each forum name? <–thats really easy
you could probably do the other thing with shortcodes
haha well remove topic description to
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 '';
}
i have this in my functions php in my child theme
keep buddypress uninstall bbpress?
ok, ignore the code (it is confusing me)
i understand
So you have a topic started and this displays in the ‘post author’ part an avatar, the topic author name, but no role
it should just display the topic author name with a certain color
Next someone replies and this displays in the ‘post author’ part an avatar, and the reply author name, but nothing else
yes exactly
Next is a reply by the original author, and in the ‘post author’ part this display an avatar, and their name in say a green block (and nothing else)
yes
Is that what you want?
just in case heres a picture, zoom with the scroll wheel
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ue9ryY5cmYTHhlRkg0a3k4T1U/edit?usp=sharing
i used a blue because it was the color i had when photoshop was last used
@robin-w yeah i still need help
nevermind i pretty much add it after the else so it would just return a normal reply author link
EDIT: didnt get it , still dont know how to construct functions 🙁
why do you need a plugin ?
when you reply to this comment look at the toolbar there is an image upload by url (img) button.
if you want images to be uploaded to your server
add this function to your functions php (if you have a child theme already set)
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );
/**
* Allow upload media in bbPress
*
* This function is attached to the 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args' filter hook.
*/
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
$args['media_buttons'] = true;
return $args;
}
but function only allows admins, moderators , and authors to upload images to your server.
you would then need to change some user role capabilities so that if you want subscribers to upload images to your server
ok my bad for bumping this
but i changed my mind on how i want the function to display
is there a way to use if (bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_topic_author_id() ) {
so that it just replaces this code of the reply author name
div class=reply-author-name><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>
to this instead
div class=topic-starter><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>
i just want to change the div class so that if the topic author = reply author it would just show the reply author name in just a different color , kind of like reddit
i want this because when my site goes to a smaller size i have to remove some attributes like post count , buddypress profile data , user role , and the user avatar at really small screens just so i could make it look nice.
i want to users to still recognize the topic starter even at smaller screens
i think a simple filter might do this
but i dont know where to even start.
thanks if anybody helps
