Hi,
Plugin is on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/ but let me see to copy the code to GitHub this weekend.

@jpvanmuijen on 2 of my forums it seems to give stats, but we should have that discussion at the support forum for bbp-api 🙂

Hi, thanks for your reply but it did not work for me. I have only activated the pluguin bbpress and I activated the theme twentyfifteen.
Any other options? I have also proven it with a clean wordpress install. 🙁

[Robin W]

sorry, missed that you were using wp tweaks which adds this sidebar. This plugin has no support, and doesn’t work with several themes by the look of it.

suggest you try

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

the logic for forum pages is

is_bbpress()

for a widget to only show on forum pages

and to exclude from forum pages is

!is_bbpress()

[Robin W]

If I understand you correctly, you should use the style pack plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and look at both the forum template and forum display tabs in the settings

I’m new with the WordPress and building my first webpage. I have installed bbPress and bbPress WP Tweaks plugin and created Forum page. Forum appears on forum page, but login sidebar widget does not. bbPress sidebar area is showing on Widgets settings and I have added login widget to it. Still sidebar is not showing on Forum page. If I add login widget to main sidebar widget area, then login widget will show on every page. Why bbPress sidebar widget area is not working? Is this a bug? I have tried this with many WordPress themes with no luck.

I’m currently using WordPress 4.7.2 with Twenty Twelve theme and bbPress 2.5.12-6148.
My website is not yet public.

Hello Robin,

Thanks for the reply again.

I pasted the code in the additional Custom CSS section in WordPress, indeed I immediately noticed that page width was wider by about 1/5.

However, the “bbpress.php” template was… not affected ! 🙁

I tried copying the code in the style.css in the child theme previously created, but same thing no wide page again !

As I noticed since the beginning, ALL the site pages, I mean the one managed by this epoymous section in WordPress ARE affected by any additional CSS code, BUT NO page in the forum section with the “bbpress.page” Template are concerned by any modification !

It’s as if so long as there’s no modification on the bbpress.php code or it’s CSS, nothing could happen !

Yet, as mentioned earlier, in the child theme I’ve created, I added as explained in this forum : http://www.designbombs.com/master-twenty-seventeen-wordpress-theme/ , the following files :

1 style.css file
1 page-full-width.php
1 function.php

Was there any other operation I should have done ?

For instance, should I try something with the Bbpress-style-pack I’ve installed a few weeks ago for another purpose but that includes a CSS section ?

I don’t really understand what I’m supposed to do, the explanation is not quite clear to me !

It’s explained that it will create a “bspstyle.css” file but what will be the impact on the whole site as I just want to alter page width ONLY on the forum pages, the other pages have the adequate width !

Kind regards,

Philippe

Any one? Please…

How do I create a custom index page that is actually a bbpress-page and NOT an ordinary wordpress page that happens to have bbpress-content in it?

The problem with the suggestion that Robin offers is that his own plugin (bbp style pack) won’t recognize the custom page as a bbpress page.

If I’m being stupid and missing something obvious please let me know.

Cheers!

Hi Robin,

Don’t know where your’re in the progress of your tests, but I noticed that the “What the file” plugin I couldn’t see for more than a day just turned up today but on another profile I’ve created for my friend that will take care of the site once all the issues with the forum part are solved!

Really weird!?

Yet it doesn’t display in my admin profile !!!

Anyway, I could find out thanks to this plugin that this is the “page.php” template which is being used on the page listing all the forums and the “bbpress.php” for each forum !

Yet, when I select it through this plugin, changes I made on the model in the theme child I had created are present :

<div class=”wrap page-full-width“>
<div id=”primary” class=”content-area-wide“>
<main id=”main” class=”site-main” role=”main”>

<?php

But I guess this has more to do with Twenty seventeen subtleties or the CSS!!??

FYI, here’s the site I followed step by step in order to get this fuc… full width page to work properly and the closest to the theme Twenty seventeen :

Hi Wiisonca,

I used to have a lot of registration spammers, this plugin solved it for me:

https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-spamshield/

I haven’t had an occurence in over 6 months.

You can also go for the paid option, which also worked for me a couple of months before using wp-spamshield: https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/

As a side note, deactivating bbpress does not remove data.

[Robin W]

best I can say is this plugin may help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

[Robin W]

lots of shortcodes available for putting into pages and posts

Shortcodes

and I have additional shortcodes in my style pack plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

ok, it’s not a released version, so suggest you post a trac ticket for the error

Hi,

Permissions via Advanced Access Manager (AAM) were recently working until updating to WordPress 4.7.2. Are there any known issues with that plugin?

I have six forums and AAM roles for each. The roles still correctly restrict access to the topics under the respective forums, but the main index of forums at /forums/ no longer displays the forum a role has access to.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

WP 4.7.2, Twenty Thirteen theme

When I try to update to new wordpress I get this error and I’m locked out of the admin:

what can I do?

[phil49]

Hello Robin,

Thanks for all the efforts !

I simply want the forums to be displayed in full width.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, the WordPress page listing all the forums has the appropriate width, and ONLY the forum pages are aligned on the left taking half the page and are aligned on the left with the first item of my menu !
Oh, by the way I don’t have any side bar on my pages, therefore I don’t have the problem that some other people are facing!
I noticed that with those specific pages I can’t get the selector for different templates just like the other pages of the site !

This is the reason why I was trying to find out which template is being used by the forum pages to go further in my investigation !

Whatever I tried this week-end failed, many CSS solutions, childtheme, et..

It would be great if we could find a solution !

FYI, I’m also working on a property asked by the users, that’s a background gradient (grey or pale green) on all pages, but again, CSS and child theme proved useless !
Or I proved to be a poor webmaster (not a pro just an I.T guy helping friends) 🙁

Thks so much for your help and time !

Philippe

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin has several options, including buttons

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

yes this plugin will show you – once activated you will see it on the right hand side of the dashboard top bar next to your username

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

[Robin W]

I hate anyone but admins seeing the dashboard – it is not needed and looks ugly

try

[tpurple]

I am creating a forum for users that is part of a larger website. When I tested registration it appears that registered users have access to the website dashboard, even when set to participant or spectator level. How do I configure the log in so users only have access to the actual forum themselves?

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress 2.5.12

Thanks!

[iazeemkafridi]

@robin-w I tried it but it doesn’t work.

I had the same issue when I setup the forum page in my website Weightalogue that is hosted on WordPress.org but it wasn’t working out for me (sometimes there used to show nothing but a blank page and sometimes the page used to get a message “not-responding”) which made me de-activate the plugin.

Is there anything else I can do to make it work for my website?

Thanks!

do you mean a wordpress post?

No, a normal topic post. Like here.

Hi,
For specific questions when using that plugin, it might be better to ask on the dedicated forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-sort-topic-replies

[Robin W]

Otherwise check out the https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ plugin, it will most likely have the functionality.

it does!
