that was so cool. The topic link works now 🙂

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

I just changed it back to forums and I tested and it s working still. I appreciate the help.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

it says full width, right side bar, left side bar under a field called ET

If it is the bbp tweaks options I have copied them below.
plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php
generic.php
page.php
single.php
index.php

Files with Bold text exist.

It does give me the option for a right or left side bar or full width. I changed it to right side bar but like you said it did not change anything.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

I downloaded and activated bbp tweaks. Went into the widgets section and dragged items into the side bar and added the requested URLs where needed but the side bar isn’t showing up. I went under bbp tweaks and changed the wrap around to all of the available files by switching and saving and then testing the forum but nothing shows up. The plug in is still currently active.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

I do minimally 🙂 and I can 🙂

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

🙂 Thanks so much for everything. I understand that you are tied up. Thee other things are want more than anything not needs. When you have a moment it would be great to have your help but again these are not urgent things.

FYI –
1) I want automatic registration.
2) I have been trying to figure that sidebar set up without much luck and I would also prefer not to have my forum full width. The page layout under the page set up does not seem to have any effect on it once the template i applied.
3) I am using last post.

Best of luck on whatever you are working on and thanks for making this work for me.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

I am following your advice and reactivating the plugins one by one and testing the forum after each one

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

YOU ARE A GENIUS. I have to go to the forum settings and change m root to forum. It seems to be working. I could hug you through the computer. Thanks so much for sticking with me.

Few other questions while I have the attention of a genius.

1)How do I get a side bar? The bbp tweaks was not working for me but it may have something to do with the issues i was having.

2) Can you create a custom registration profile?

3) Can you create it where the title of the last topic shows up in the freshness column instead of having to hover to see it without css?

Thanks a million and God bless you.

Do you think I need to uninstall and reinstall bbpress?

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

I just did it but it seems the links are still no working. I still have all of the link deactivated and I did preview switch to the twenty twelve theme and they are still not working.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

Method 1

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

there is a plugin that does that called bbp last post. It changes the term freshness to whatever you want to call it and then display the post information in a date and time format.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

I added a test topic and it shows up but the main link for the forum won’t allow me to view it. Thanks again for the help

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

Okay I deactivated all of the plug ins and switched to the twentytwelve theme from the DIVI and it still was not functioning correctly. Every time I click the link for a topic it takes me back to the index.

I switched back to the DIVI theme since that was not the problem. If the theme is not the problem and the plugins are not the problem, was I supposed to create individual pages for each forum topic manually and link to the index? If I was I am feeling quite stupid now.

[@thecatholicwoman Participant 10 years, 6 months ago]

@pinkishhue and @robin-w thanks so much. The topic pages should NOT look like that at all. I am not sure why they are defaulting to the forum index. I will try switching the theme and also deactivating all of the plug in and enabling them one by one. I do not know how to flush permalinks or any of that stuff. I am a complete newbie. I had to ask someone to add the theme into the css for me if that give you any clue. I will try these and get back if it does not work r to say thanks if it does. This is a free site and I am just trying to figure out how to get this done without much experience so this means the world to me.
