I did open Filezilla and I searched for “cache” — I found a cache.php file, but I didn’t even attempt to go mucking about in there!

yep , dont edit files or delete any files you might cause another issue with your site.

I’m a little glad to hear that you’ve possibly had a similar problem; maybe I can ask some other people on the site to try out different browsers and see if I need to go clean out my CPU cache.

something like it , im sure its common too , like i said i dont remember 100%

If you have a chance to add more classes to the CSS code, I would be extremely grateful. I really appreciate the time and effort you’ve spent on my issues.

i tested with your theme and this seemed to work.

.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a {
	color: #000;
}

.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a:hover,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a:hover {
	color: #707070;
}

@davidnsfw

alright since i think your site has jetpack installed

make sure you have the custom css module activated in jetpack .

now go to appearance > edit css

copy this code into your custom css editor.

.bbpress .post-section {
  margin: 0 2% 20px 2%;
  width: 96%;
}

.bbpress #content-main {
  width: 100%;
  margin-right: 0;
}

hit save

check and see if it works

if the code does work, reply back on here that it works now.

if the code doesnt work i need to see if any Custom CSS on bbPress would show . so copy and replace my old CSS code that you just previously pasted

with this code

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

now see if your links on your forum are red

if it turns red, reply back here that your links are red and that i need to add more classes to your original CSS so i could make your forum full width.

Hi Robin, thanks for your help.

It turned out to be a theme issue. I managed to fix it by using the 2nd option in part 3 of your guide “Creating a forum page”: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

Hi Rob,

Can’t show a live link since it is not currently live.

Here’s how it looks:

Essentially, can you see the breadcrumb inside its own content box? that’s what I have added manually. That is where I want my breadcrumb, it looks much better separate from the forum content.

However, the breadcrumb then also appears within the forum root / home page.

I was able to edit this out in every other page via the user of template files found in /bbpress/templates/bbpress and /extras, however, I have been unable to spot a template which I can edit for the forum root page.

Every other page is working flawlessly. Just this one page.

[Robkk]

These two Custom CSS rules should help.

put them anywhere you can put custom CSS

child themes style.css file
jetpacks custom CSS module
a standalone custom css plugin.

.bbpress .post-section {
  margin: 0 2% 20px 2%;
  width: 96%;
}

.bbpress #content-main {
  width: 100%;
  margin-right: 0;
}

if this does not work try this CSS for a test

if the links in your forum turn red the CSS is working.

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

if the links are red and my above CSS rules for full width arent working i probably have to redo the CSS rules i gave you above to include more div classes which will be super annoying.

[Robin W]

You are not understanding the problem.

spot on !

the code you gave is an action, so would not contain the breadcrumb unless some other code outside bbpress is actioning it.

can you give us a link/url to a page and tell us what you want moved/added/changed

[Robkk]

I’m still working on how to disable caching for logged in users.

what cache plugin are you using??

Is there a way to make it so that the Favorite and Subscribe buttons aren’t blue too?

here i think i copied how the sidebar links are shown.

.bbpress a.favorite-toggle,
.bbpress a.subscription-toggle {
    color: #000;
}

.bbpress a.favorite-toggle:hover,
.bbpress a.subscription-toggle:hover {
    color: #707070;
}

[Robkk]

Slightly NSFW

i laughed at this.

@davidnsfw add !important after 96% like this

.bbpress #content-main {
width: 96% !important;
}

and see if that works.

[Robin W]

try adding

.bbpress #content-main {
width: 96%;
}

to your style.css

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

bit of a difference between

and wanted it removed completely

and

I merely want to move it.

🙂

but it doesn’t seem as if that’s possible.

um, yes it is, you just hadn’t asked !

just use

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

in the code

there are many template files that use this

just look in

templates\default\bbpress\

and you’ll find all the templates

tell us where you want it, and we’ll try to help further

I’m so sorry — I thought you might want me to make a new topic here on this bbPress support site. I would have happily made a new post on my own website!

I think this is what you need, but if not, please do let me know.

@ebunny3k

copy the loop-forums.php file into your child theme in a folder called bbpress

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

also i need to move this file to a gist….it seems more appropriate over there

[Robin W]

yes take out the line

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

about 5 line sup from the bottom.

BUT you need this to be a bbpress.php file in the right directory as per and don’t delete the page.php file – that runs the rest of your site !

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robkk]

@ebunny3k

are you talking about categories/subforums like this.

[Robkk]

if this isn’t possible, I totally understand.

no its possible , i forgot some periods though.

Here should be the full code , not shortened though.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

if it still doesnt work , post a topic that has a couple links in the replies and topic post and i can find some CSS that would work with your theme.

[Robin W]

ok,

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Before Posting

[Robin W]

Any replies with silly css hacks will be ignored

not sure that attacking potential helpers is the best way to get a response. Using hide in css is a perfectly acceptable way of achieving things even if you think it silly. I prefer non css solutions purely because my css is rubbish 🙂

Anyway in the documentation you will find

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

enjoy !

[Robin W]

I think your theme is causing this. Unfortunately many theme authors wrap the various sidebar options into one page.php file nowadays. It gives theme flexibility, but doesn’t help andyone with custom post types such as bbpress. I’ve taken a look and try amending the bbpress.php to

<?php 
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID; 
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die(); 
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
    <div class="container">
         <div class="middle-main content-full">
                 <div id="primary" class="content-area">
                        <div class="inner">
                            <article class="post post-details">
                                <?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
                                    <header class="entry-header">
                                        <h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
                                    </header>
                                <?php endif;?>
                                <div class="entry-content">
                                    <?php  while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
                                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                                    <?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
                                </div>
                            </article>
                            <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
                                <?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
                            <?php endif;?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                           
    </div>
</div>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>

which takes out all the stuff relating to sidebars.

Come back if that doesn’t work or errors

[Robin W]

good set of questions!

bbpress uses WordPress registration for forum users, so they will integrate nicely.

There are widgets within bboress that allow for login and registration

With forums set to public, then anyone can see forums, but only logged in users can ‘participate’

Users can change their email in the profile section

two queries

5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.

This will be the case, unless they use the remember me function, but in effect that is the same as it is a logged in person. There are plugins to prevent remember me if you want to disable eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/

7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.

They cannot delete themselves, they can just stop using. They can of course send the admin a request to be deleted, and then the admin has the choice of deleting all content for that user, assigning it to someone else, or just blocking that user so that the content remains under their name.

[Robin W]

@ebunny3k maybe fair comment, but not sure why you’re lurking on here if you feel that bbpress is such a bad product 🙂

[ebunny3k]

Is it really hard to add this categories thing to core code? So anyone can use them without any hassle? And yes it is so nice to point out some nice websites where people rewrite bbpress code to make it usable. <- But it does not help other 99% users.

[ebunny3k]

Fatal error: Call to undefined method BBP_Default::epicwebs_bbp_list_forums() in /data01/virt50419/domeenid/www.mkuubis.net/htdocs/wp-content/themes/valenti/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 38

[ebunny3k]

You should instead use phpbb, musch more options available, including categories/subforums option what bbpress does not have. <- years later and they still do not have so simple thing like that. crazy.
