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.

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 !

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

[Robin W]

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

try

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!

Hi jonahma,

Which theme are you using? This should be doable with CSS, otherwise you can remove it from the loop-single-reply.php file.

Hi fuse2701,

You need to change the padding-left value from 16px to 0.
The first padding value (0) is the padding-top one, the second one (0) is for padding-right, the third (23px) bottom and the last one (padding-left) should be changed from 16px to 0.

These are the current values:

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 16px;
line-height: 26px;
list-style-type: disc;
}

If you are using a child theme, copy and paste the CSS lines below there. Otherwise, go to your WordPress Dashboard, Divi / Divi Theme Option / General tab / and paste these lines there on Custom CSS / Save Changes

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 0;
}

If that doesn’t work, try adding a !important like this
padding: 0 0 23px 0 !important;

Hello,

I installed bbPress, maybe 5 months ago. I imported from phpBB.
After some trouble with this import, the installation was ok.

But now, with wordpress 4.7.2 (maybe before I’m not sure), I can see my forums but not replies and topics.
About topics, I can see when it’s “pin topics” but there is not reply inside.

Everything is ok in the admin panel of WP, all posts, topics and forums are here.

I tried to remove “WP-super cache” and use the tool “bbp-repair” but nothing change.

Could someone help me?

Best Regards

[Robin W]

not really sure that bbpress is the best tool for this.

several wordpress solutions round – I googled ‘document sharing wordpress’ and got this which looks like it is a better fit

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/

you can see what the free vs. premium does here
