What if I don’t want a sidebar on the forum page? I want it to look like “full page template” . How do I do that for the forum only? (Yes, I am using BbPress plugin in WP)

[Recon2]

I’m trying to make a really simple install of bbPress 2.0. I am using modified bbp-twentyten theme files with my WordPress theme. I have disabled topic favorites and subscriptions and would now like to disable all the user profile pages.

I realise that this will make it impossible for users to quickly review all the posts from a particular user, but this isn’t important to me. How can I remove this functionality — or at least remove the profile link every time a username is displayed?

I hope there’s an easy way to do this

Use Avatar Upload plugin and then go here:

I have bbPress as WP plugin. The integration is seemless, but I want the forum to appear on a page without the sidebar. Otherwise the replies become ridiculously long.

Any workaround for this? A shortcode maybe?

bbPress plugin or standalone?

[LewisB]

Hi everyone. I’m currently trying to implement bbPress into my WP site.

I managed to install it fine, the problem is that neither bbPress nor my website actually work together in any way.

For example, having installed bbPress to my root directory I could access the bbPress forum but it was entirely independent of my site, and had no “home” button to return to my site. Whilst my site had no forum button to physically travel to the forum.

It is as if I’d made two separate websites. Is this normal?

Having installed the bbPress plugin also, this did integrate into my site, in the correct position (within the confines of the page). However by doing this method in the dashboard it states:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress”.

So I have a conundrum:

1. If I use the plugin it lacks most vital features.

2. If I install directly to the root directory, bbPress becomes an entirely separate entity from my website with no ability (that I can see) to return back to my homepage.

Is there a way of installing the plugin (as this places it where I need it to be) but also have the features of the independent bbPress site I made by manually installing to the root?

(am I making any sense at all?)

I installed the BBpress plugin into my WordPress install without any issues except one… Can someone tell me how I can let users of the forum update their Avatars? I’ve tried a number of plugins with no luck so far. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your super powers @JohnJamesJacoby!

The bbPress plugin does this, as it’s a pain to mark a user as spam and have their posts not be spam along with them.

Well if I had half your talent I would… might make me millions.. but after the fall foliage season is over if you want more info on this I’ll be glad to sit down and try to be real specific in what it should do…

If not I’ll do as I do now and make sure I’m subscribed to each topic and that way I get an email. I can’t tell from the dashboard under topics which one is which and the same for replies.

So if I go in from the back end (dashboard) I will spend quite a while trying to locate a specific reply to edit or answer.. So I always go in through the front end and reply to the person that way.

I just would like to have unanswered replies (by me) to be more evident.

Oh and I think I need to thank you since in some part, that your bbpress has helped me hit the 10,000 view mark (started the site this past April) and I beleive I’m getting great SEO from the forum…

Did I mention I’m running this in prime time? I sure hope it doesn’t break before November…

I have this problem, but for the life of me can’t find anything to do with the term menu_position or custom post types to fix the conflict ?

Where do you look and what do you need to change ?

It’s it an amendment to the code ? or is it a field the database ?

Help would be much appriciated.

With thanks

Tushar, I’d really appreciate if you could create a new topic for your issue and also post the problem you’re facing while installing bbPress 2.0 on WordPress. Thanks!

As to the no right click and also the no dragging an image off to the desk top.

I have a lot of photography on my site and while the measures I take only really keep the honest people honest since it those folks who grab my pictures to put on their blogs and pages… I like them to at least ask or rent the image..

But I do not care if you see the source for the page and I will deactivate the right click protection if that helps you out.

I feel it has to do with a third party toolbar for bbpress. This allows images to be uploaded (and as a photographer I desire this function and I want my users to be able to upload what they see on their touring around New England) When I take the pictures out of a topic it fixes the topic.

But I feel because the images are too large (I’m going to recommend he look to force the image to resize to the window)

I have turned off the disable on right clicks so feel free to see what is going on.

You may say and rightly so that this is the toolbar person’s responsibility to fix and I’m sure he will but I thought it should be something you knew about that way you can look into it and see if there is some code that you need to fix on your end to ensure that third party writers can’t upset the CSS with their code efforts.

My user avatars look great when they appear on an individual topic page, but on the page where it lists all the topics in a forum they are tiny (14×14 px)

I’m using an unmodified WP bbPress plugin and I uploaded the avatars with the “Simple Local Avatars” WP plugin. Anyone know why they would look good in the topics page but tiny on the list page?

@catlawsonNHS

I have used this plugin for my bbpress which was integrated along with wordpress MU, and it worked perfectly.

[jomontvm]

@catlawsonNHS

Yes, this plugin is for the standalone bbpress, not for wordpress.

Sorry for the late response as I was concentrating completely on some other things.

I have searched for hours and I can’t make sense of how to customize a forum when using bbpress that was installed as a WP plug in.

I want to do two things:

1) get rid of the part that says “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by John John 8 hours ago.”

2) I want to make the forum page wider than the default page width for my WordPress theme.

This seems like these should be very simple customization, but I just can’t figure out how to do it. Can someone point me to where I could learn step by step how to do this?

thanks,

Tom
