Topic: Cool site widgets
Can somebody point me in the direction of how to get the cool site widgets we see on these forums, like forum info, tags, feeds. slick forum list and etc. i don’t see these widgets as part of the default bbpress
Created a sidebar with wwPress WP Tweaks, but can’t get it to display. I have added widgets, and tried selecting all the different pages in the “Default forum wrapper” section. It just won’t show up.
WP version 4.1.1

Minamaze themeIn this theme, you have to select one layout for all static pages, and I have chosen a layout that is full page. You don’t get Template options while creating/editing a page. Is that causing the issue? It seems all of the other “sidebar” plugins I’ve tried simply replace an existing sidebar, they won’t add one. Is “bbPress WP Tweaks” the same, or can you add a sidebar to the forum page even if it doesn’t have a sidebar originally?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
This is our BBPress Forum

I wonder if instead of just text of the Forum name and “Freshness” we can also have it show what the last topic was, when it was posted, and who commented on it? I thought that was the default but it seems to have changed.
Someday, somebody is going to get this 2x retina thing figured out so that it’s automatic across WordPress. Until that day, we have to do it ourselves.
The general approach is to serve a double-sized image to the browser. So, if you want an 80px avatar in your topic replies (the standard size), you need to serve up a 160px avatar in order for it to look sharp on a retina screen (i.e. iPad, Android tablet, retina MacBook Pro, or one of those delicious new 5K iMacs). And as Joe Jackson says, “You gotta look sharp!”
So, how is this accomplished? Well, in the template.php file of bbPress, there is a function called bbp_get_reply_author_link(). This is the function that gets the avatar, and it comes with the following arguments:
function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) { // Parse arguments against default values $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array( 'post_id' => 0, 'link_title' => '', 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 80, 'sep' => ' ', 'show_role' => false ), 'get_reply_author_link' );The argument we want to change is the ‘size’ argument. As you see, the default setting is 80. We want it to be 160. We can change it by changing a single line in the loop-single-reply.php file, which you can locate in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/. In the stock theme, the line reads:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>We want to change it to:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'size' => 160, 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>And that’s all there is to it. As long as your CSS specifies a width of 80 (or whatever you prefer), you won’t see any change in the size of the avatar in your browser, it will just look sharper on retina screens. You won’t notice any difference on standard resolution screens and, unfortunately, there is a price to be paid in the size of the image that is served to those screens. Ideally, WordPress/bbPress would know what resolution screen it is serving to and set the image size on the fly. There are some plugins that do this for site images — Jordy Meow’s WP Retina 2x is a good one — but they don’t work for avatars yet. See this support topic for more discussion.
There’s just one more thing you’ll want to do. If you haven’t already done so, create a directory in your theme folder titled “bbpress”. Then make a copy of the file you just changed and place it in this directory. This file will override any file with the same name in the bbPress plugin directory. So, when you next update the bbPress plugin, you’ll retain the functionality you just created, because even though the plugin files are all replaced by the new version, the file in your theme directory will still be there.
I hope this helps everyone look sharp!
