@Maziyar That’s fine but I’m sure when John see’s these entries he will be unhappy. (BBpress only here) So is there another place to discuss how to set it up. I liked what little I saw before it trashed my WP website which I think was my fault for not making my theme the default…

But as I said if there is another place dedicated to this plugin then we can chat there…

After I seeing above source code, I think that my previous method (that I would like to suggest you) won’t be working as suppose.

So I download the Suffusion theme, trying on my Xampp and found simple answer. You just need to deactivate ‘Sidebar Layout’ into 0 (Zero).

Go to your site at

yoursite.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=suffusion-options-manager&tab=theme-options-sidebars-and-widgets.php

You will have a sidebar layout options, try change the default views into 0 (Zero) or no sidebar at all. You can still manage others to have sidebar(s), just find another related options.

Default Views

The theme is set up with one sidebar (a two-column theme) by default. You could choose to have two sidebars (a three-column theme) or none if you want. Unless otherwise overridden in the subsequent options, this will be applied to your entire blog.

0 (Zero) -> choose this

1 (One)

2 (Two)

The save by clicking Save page ‘Sidebar Layout’

Suffusion is way to complex for code modification, and I hope above method working as suppose, since it work on my localhost.

Hit me if you still have trouble!

More explanation..

Your forums_index page is located at myblog.com/forum and displayed full-width or no sidebar. That is what you want and displays perfectly.

But when you accessing a topic or reply it will show sidebar, it happen due each forum specific page is using specific ‘page template’ that belong to bbPress theme.

Here example:

myblog.com/forums – default forums will using ‘single-forum.php’ page template

myblog.com/forum – your custom page that you use now (in my case I create custom template ‘page-forum-home.php’ to show page without sidebar. On your case just using ‘No Sidebar’ template page)

But when you browse into (forum)

myblog.com/forums/forum/general/ – it will using ‘single-forum.php’ page template

When you browse more (topic)

myblog.com/forums/topic/rules-and-ethics/ – it will using ‘single-topic.php’ page template

And that also applies when you edit something or doing something else, it will use different page template that belong to bbPress theme.

How to solve this?

I want you to understand that your WordPress theme (not bbPress theme) have page templates, such as

page.php - default page

page-full.php - page to show full width or no sidebar

page-blog.php

page-contact.php

page-gallery.php

page-login.php

page-search.php

page-sitemap.php

page-template-portfolio.php

etc ... (the number varries and depend on each WP theme)

You need to copy page-full.php or whatever page to show full width or no sidebar content (html and php styles) and replace (about 75%) for your others bbpress theme.

That what I going to by owning your the content of “No Sidebars” page template of yours.

So your forum will display the same layout and styles.

I changed this in mypage.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten

But I don’t use that theme. I use NO theme. So where do I remove the sidebars?

Hi, AFAIK every bbPress usage always use ‘bbPress default theme’ located within …/wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten folder (except you integrated it with your WordPress theme or you are using custom theme already).

So you are using ‘bbPress theme’ already and there are no sidebars within that default theme. Sidebars if from your WordPress theme, that you should edit.

Things looks okey so far! Now I want to remove the sidebars from the forum (not the page, I know how to do that) and I have read a couple of tutorials but still don’t get it.

Some theme have page template to display ‘full width page’, you must choose it. If your theme don’t have it try create it.

Here are sample of page using shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

-> http://themescommunity.com/forums-index/

I’m newbie too!

[binarymoon]

If I enable the plugin on my site, using my personal theme, and the default bbpress template, then the first post in each topic does not appear – but replies show fine.

If I use TwentyTen, then the first post appears as expected.

Not sure if this is because of something I have done in my theme, or if it’s a strange quirk of bbPress. Anyone got any pointers/ seen this before?

[binarymoon]

aaaand – I got it.

Was missing a style – I got all the bbpress template ones and missed the default one that is built into the plugin

[binarymoon]

easier than I imagined.

function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) {

return true;

}



add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');

How would you like to send me my dollar?

Now if only I could work out why this isn’t working properly – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-default-template-styles?

[Ferdilicious]

When I enter the default sidebar.

The line there is actually: When I enter the forums, it displays the default sidebar.

Something must have went wrong when I posted the message,

[Ferdilicious]

Howdy!

I recently just installed the bbPress plugin into the Swatch Theme, from wooThemes – everything went great, I love how they interfere, but there’s a little issue.

When I enter the default sidebar. May I please ask, what should I do to make the forum page full width, along with the profile page, because that way the forum it will look a lot more better!

Thanks in advance!

[binarymoon]

I would like to use the default template and override the styles that are included. Does anyone have any tips on how to acheive this?

Currently I am using:

function bm_bbpress () {

wp_dequeue_style ('twentyten-rtl');

wp_dequeue_style ('twentyten');

wp_dequeue_style ('bbp-twentyten-bbpress');

}



add_action ('bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bm_bbpress', 100);

[amirsaam]

umm…, no! bbPlugin by default using a subdirectory of WordPress but by some skills on creating a pro theme for your blog that give the forums pages, and left the permalink of the forum root (called Forums) blank you can get what you want (it’s jus’ a advice, I’m not sure!)

[travis.hill]

Are you installing/developing locally (localhost)? This is a known issue:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-error-the-active-theme-is-broken-reverting-to-the-default-theme

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1596

Hope you find the white rabbit.

[enderandrew]

I was running trunk before the 1.5 release, so that may have changed. It wasn’t on by default for me.

[3sixty]

enderandrew, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Site Tracking is already “on” by default, so I don’t think that’s the source of the problem (at least in terms of my problem – that bp activity stream is not picking up sitewide forum posts).

[Ravi]

The issue has been solved based on

Changing default avatar size cropped/used by BuddyPress

The bbPress avatar has been fetching it from BuddyPress avatar.

[goldmember]

@bj or anyone else, can you elaborate on where one selects the User Registration page template?

I clicked “Add New Page” but the only options under Page Attributes>Template are “Default Template” and “One column, no sidebar”.

What am I missing? I don’t need Buddypress installed, right?

Please advise. thanks in advance.

Your theme is overriding the default styling. Not much bbPress can do about it of your theme is stubborn. Afraid you’re on your own to modify your CSS to look the way you want it to.

[adams21]

At this point, after just test creating a few forums and topics, it looks like the plugin is “functioning” like it should. I can tell that it’s using some of the styles from my main theme style.css (colors, fonts etc), the MAIN PROBLEMS that I have now is the fact that it’s not taking to my page template widths in my main theme (gridlocked), it wont use a full-page-width template (or let me pick) and the default that it is probably using, is also supposed to be full width, plus something is wrong with the padding and it snugs too tight to the page edges

Hi folks,

I’ve just installed BBpress 2 on our website – http://www.gadget.ro/forums/

As you can see it looks horrible!

Isn’t there a default style or something that would make BBpress…usable?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

I was searching for an option to set the max topic length to 70 instead of default 80.

Now I think I’ve found the code inside the (Core files) bbp-core-options.php but I can’t change the core files because it will be overwritten when bbPRess updates.

So how could I place a filter? inside my functions.php to do this?

Just like this? (copy-/paste)

function bbp_title_max_length( $default = '70' ) {

echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );

}

Hi there, first I want to say thanks for creating this, seems like a great forum plugin once you get it working.

To start, I have read the entire thread on the forum on theme compatibility; http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility and a few other treads and topics relating, unfortunately I am still having some problems.

I am including screen-shot links to be as clear as possible in hope for great support.

What I have done so far;

A.) I decided to go with the child theme option since I am using a custom theme that I am not the author of and prefer not to clutter that folder.

I copied all the files (except functions.php) that were inside “bbp-twentyten” (/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten) and put them in my “gridlocked-child” folder that I placed inside /wp-content/themes/ (next to my custom “gridlocked” theme folder)

I added the “theme name” and “template” name to the empty “style.css” in folder “gridlocked-child”. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7R

I put the ” add_theme_support( ‘gridlocked-child’ ); ” code in my “gridlocked” (not child) functions.php file. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7S

At this point, after just test creating a few forums and topics, it looks like the plugin is “functioning” like it should. I can tell that it’s using some of the styles from my main theme style.css (colors, fonts etc), the MAIN PROBLEMS that I have now is the fact that it’s not taking to my page template widths in my main theme (gridlocked), it wont use a full-page-width template (or let me pick) and the default that it is probably using, is also supposed to be full width, plus something is wrong with the padding and it snugs too tight to the page edges.

Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean;

Forum home page: http://grab.by/cJ7I

Forum named MINGLE page and test topics: http://grab.by/cJ7J

I would like the forum to look like this; http://grab.by/cJ7H

and fill up the entire width of a full page, with nice padding. I achieved that preview by adding shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the html section of a “page” picking the “full-width-template” option in my theme.

Ok, here comes the questions:

1. Did I set everything up correctly in the directories and files?

2. What files do I need to modify to tell the bbPress forum to use a full page width template? Can I copy code from my main theme “template-full-width.php” into one or more template files inside my new child theme?

2. Do I need to add code/functions into my main theme “template-full-width.php”? and if so, what kind of code? and on a scale, how easy should these edits be? (I have asked, but I am not getting any support with this from my theme support forum, otherwise great forum but they wont help with plugins, understandable)

3. How does shortcodes work? Are those simply just for placing certain parts of your forum on different pages as previews/links but not for use throughout the FULL forum?

Do you have ANY ideas on how I can solve this issue, I feel pretty lost and I am not a developer or programmer, just a stubborn, enthusiastic designer that loosing her hair about this.

I HIGHLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS!

Thank you!

[ineken]

thank you for help.

I found the right file, I found the good part, I think it was leave I should use.

function widget( $args, $instance ) {

extract( $args );

$title = apply_filters( ‘bbp_replies_widget_title’, $instance );

$max_shown = !empty( $instance ) ? $instance : ‘5’;

$show_date = !empty( $instance ) ? ‘on’ : false;

// Query defaults

$replies_query = array(

‘post_status’ => join( ‘,’, array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ) ),

‘posts_per_page’ => $max_shown,

‘order’ => ‘DESC’

);

// Set the query name

bbp_set_query_name( ‘bbp_widget’ );

// Get replies and display them

if ( bbp_has_replies( $replies_query ) ) :

echo $before_widget;

echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>

<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>

• <?php

  $author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( ‘type’ => ‘both’, ‘size’ => 14 ) );

  $reply_link = ‘‘ . bbp_get_reply_topic_title() . ‘‘;

  /* translators: bbpress replies widget: 1: reply author, 2: reply link, 3: reply date, 4: reply time */

  printf( _x( $show_date == ‘on’ ? ‘%1$s on %2$s, %3$s, %4$s’ : ‘%1$s on %2$s’, ‘widgets’, ‘bbpress’ ), $author_link, $reply_link, get_the_date(), get_the_time() );

  ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php echo $after_widget;

endif;

bbp_reset_query_name();

}

I miss it more than learning how to change it: D

thank you I go little by little.

I need this translation but the problem is that I am unable to login there with my WordPress account. I can login here no problem but as soon as I go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default I am unable to login

BJ, Thanks for the help.

I do not want to create a new WP page.

Instead, I want to change the default forums Index that comes at the page /forums like http://ravidreams.in/offgrid/forums/ . This page is also linked in the breadcrumbs through out the forums.
