This week’s question about bbPress:
The default display of the current user is the fullname (also here in this forum), but I want to change it into the nickname they have entered. How can this be achieved?

Spanish Translation for FirmaSite theme, BuddyPress and bbPress plugins:
http://theme.firmasite.com/spanish-translation/
Its already submitted. Approve process is not automatic so need to wait a bit.

So it will be published on wordpress.org soon
FirmaSite 1.1.4 released.
Biggest improvement is adding Flatly named theme style. You can check demo here:
http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/?style=flatly
You can read other details of changes here:

Sadly lots of planned featured needed to remove from FirmaSite theme because of theme rules in WordPress.Org theme system:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review
I really was disappointed when i learn that most of stuff needed to remove but now i can understand their logic. While i dont agree those rules, i respect them.
All social integration (Facebook like,comments etc) is removed from theme because of WordPress.Org rules. They decide that some planned features are plugin territory. So i built a plugin for theme:
http://theme.firmasite.com/plugin/ or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/firmasite-theme-enhancer/
This plugin will add all those social integration soon. Sorry for misinformation on theme site.
(Moderators..this forum have some kind of caching problem. Logged in but it was cached so i couldnt reply in here about 15mins~)
@etanr, I am glad you like FirmaSite theme. That problem is fixed and will release in new version. Meanwhile you can fix it if you want or just wait for next release. Details:

This weeks question & answer:
theme customize
Question Summary: How to add custom css to all widgets?
Solution: In our theme, you can target all widgets with article.widget. An example:
article.widget {
background: #fff;
border-radius: 6px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0 1px 3px;
}
Going from scratch. This is became a super intelligent system that supports custom filter system, currency system that automatically updates daily from The European Central Bank, geolocation with location-taxonomy support etc.. Those are fully built on FirmaSite which have infinite design possibilities with custom Bootstrap skins. Plus there will be premium slide effects from Lush Content Slider that i talked with its author and he allowed me to do 🙂 With ShowCase system, i can add lots of premium slider system with ultra-easy usage for clients
I am working on my first premium theme based on FirmaSite for Envato’s most wanted. I am in a bit hurry for being in first 15 theme so i cant take extra job in this 2 weeks. If you are not in hurry, I will probably finish it in 2 weeks and can help you after that. Wish me luck 😀
(P.S: i did some incredible theme options system on theme customizer 😀 )
This weeks question & answer:
Showcase, promotion and custom content types
Question Summary: How to add PromotionBar and ShowCase feature to your custom post types?
Solution: Its super simple;
This code will activate PromotionBar and ShowCase features for your custom post type 🙂 For example for bbPress, you can activate those features for topic post type:
add_filter('firmasite_pre_get_posts_ekle', "firmasite_custom_cpt_add");
function firmasite_custom_cpt_add($array){
$array[]='topic';
return $array;
}
I’d really love a tutorial on how to include custom Bootstrap themes such as these in Firmasite.
Did you check http://theme.firmasite.com/child-theme/?
I looked into your themes folder and noticed that those themes (BootSwatch themes like Amelia, Cerulean etc.) are all simple css files, whereas these admin themes are complete templates with a bunch of assets of their own, so I’m guessing it’s not quite as straight forward as dropping a folder in the right place.
Bootstrap’s css is just 1 file which is enough but its minimum requirement. No one is stopping you to add additional css files or new php/css/js components. You can think FirmaSite as a main clean theme that supports additional features on child-themes. For example i am working on a premium real estate child-theme that is using FirmaSite as main theme 🙂
Your customizations should be use child-theme rather then css solution.
- Create a child-theme. You can use example child theme from Child Theme article
- Create bbpress folder inside child-theme then create loop-single-topic.php file in bbpress folder
- You can change all loop display in loop-single-topic.php. I created an example file for you: http://pastebin.com/UqBVADNU
- Its really easy to change things. I just change some pull-left and pull-rights classes. Play with it 🙂
I’ve been playing around with the theme lately. I can’t seem to figure out how to make the promotion bar and showcase text show up. What are the required conditions for these items to be displayed?
You just mark posts or pages with clicking stars on edit panels:
If you are using full content layout, promotionbar should be set for Before Content or In Site Footer. Its set in In top of Sidebar as default.
Also the posts loop could still use some work imo, especially on wide sites:
View post on imgur.com
There’s way too much empty space below that title. I’m gonna suggest some mockups.
This is why i love Responsive design: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#responsive
You can change loop with
/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }
If you ask me, its not bad looking tbh. Its clean but if you can explain me how it can be better for large desktops with full content (long) layout, i can help you to accomplish that design.
Update: Maybe this is what you are looking for: Want responsive but not wide not for large screens?
Update: I added “Change style” button to theme website. Now you can see how buddypress or bbpress pages are changing when you change theme style.
Example BuddyPress Profile page:
http://theme.firmasite.com/members/unsalkorkmaz/profile/
Dark style of same profile page: http://theme.firmasite.com/members/unsalkorkmaz/profile/?style=cyborg
Example bbPress forum:
http://theme.firmasite.com/support/forum/theme-support/
Just change style from top-right and see the magic 🙂
Theme is officially published in WordPress.Org: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/firmasite
Enjoy 🙂
Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish. Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.
Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;
- adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
- selects it automatically
- removing default default bootstrap style from list.
You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂
@sadr No. Before i started to write this theme, i inspect all Bootstrap+ WordPress solutions that i can use. After i see there is no solution for me that i am happy with it, i decide to write my own theme. In Roots theme, i like their solution for Walker_Nav_Menu so i used this section. Basically only this file is from Roots theme: https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/firmasite/1.1.7/functions/nav.php
A funny note: I was using Infinity theme as my parent theme until 2 months ago. I was using it because their option panel was letting upload images with 1 click (custom plupload implement). When they removed it, i decide to change my parent theme
Thank you for kind words btw @mercime and @netweb 🙂
