Hi,

I am currently using a theme to develop my website. It provides a login page with all the validations.
I used the bbpress plugin and introduced forums on the the site. But I have the following issue with the Login and need advice.

1. I would like to use the theme login page, instead of the dfault login section that bbpress provides on the forum page.

a. Is there a way that I can remove the login section from the forum pages? By doing this the user will always be asked forced to login through the main theme login page.
b. Or can I add a Login link which redirects the user to mysite.com/login page.

I tried adding code to the function.php in the child theme to fix the redirection issue on failed login on the forum pages. But that afects the functionality of the main login page too.

So this is why I ws thinking of one of the above two solutions.

Thanks

Some functionality similar to this is planned for bbPress 2.7.

It is plausible that plugin will be used for inspiration, though the final code will likely end up being completely rewritten/modernized/debugged.

Hi Robin,

Thank you very much for replying!

Ah yes, so it’s the ‘forum index’ page that is displaying a different style to all the other pages.

I’ve used the short code: [bbp-forum-index] on the forum index page that I made in the WordPress ‘Add New’ page.

I’ve then linked the url: http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/ to the ‘Forums’ button in my header.

I hope this answers what you were asking?

In regards to the explanation in the linked item 8.. Well, that was a learning curve! I didn’t even know how to access the WordPress database but now I do!

If I’ve understand it correctly, this header issue is possible as the ‘topics’ pages in the forum posts have the correct header styling but the ‘index’ does not – from the description this says it could be due to the index page using the ‘about’ page style instead of the topics using the ‘posts’ style.

After looking in the database I think that the forum index page is using the correct ‘Astra’ theme, but not showing the correct css for my header that all my other pages are (even the ‘About’ page).

So I don’t think I would need to copy and rename the page.php file to bbpress.php (unless I wanted bbpress theme to be different to the astra theme – I think I’ve got that correct, if not apologies!)

I really appreciate any further help with this as this is becoming quite confusing for my extremely novice brain 🙂

Thanks,

Tim

hmm, I took a look, and yes it’s another theme that is lazy and does it’s css using inline, which makes it a real pain to debug or override.

but I can’t see what is wrong to cause it.

do you have a forums’s page using a shortcode or are just using a url to go to forums?

see item 8 in this to understand what I mean

I would also add..

Could there be some inline code overriding my css on this page?

I don’t fully understand what I’m looking at when I right click and press ‘inspect’ on the header.. but when I unlick things in the right bottom css part it does appear to have an affect on the header styling. If so, I have no idea how to override it.

This is the css that appears to work for all my other pages:

a, .page-title {
font-family: a-love-of-thunder;
}

.ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:focus, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:hover, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:visited {
font-family: a-love-of-thunder;
}

.ast-theme-transparent-header .site-header .site-description {
font-family: a-love-of-thunder;
}

.ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:focus, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:hover, .ast-theme-transparent-header .site-title a:visited {
font-weight: normal;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}

.ast-theme-transparent-header .site-header .site-description {
font-weight: normal;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}

After playing around for a while… I figured out how to disable the calling of the login form…. which for my purposes is perfectly fine…

Though, I’m guessing that when there are updates to bbPress, I’ll have to do that change manually each time… not a big deal… It’s literally just a few lines of code, which I find hard to believe will ever change….

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

and you can set up emails in HTML

if you are technical, then the code is in that plugins includes/functions_emails.php

I have copied this across from the WordPress support site on the suggestion of someone on there due to the problem only developing after trying to install bbPress on the website I manage.

“I have recently been adding a members only area to a website that I manage and have so far not had any problems until I tried adding a forum. I don’t know if it is plugin related for the problem to come about, but disabling the plugins to see if one of them is causing the problem doesn’t seem to fix it.

When I try to edit some pages or posts that have already been published, I sometimes get a ‘403 Forbidden, Access to this resource on the server is denied!’ error when I click on the ‘Preview Changes’ or ‘Update’ button. I only get this with certain posts or pages. I have tried to re-create the same pages that get the error from scratch, and have found that the error only happens when I include a link that opens in a new tab.

The existing version of the posts and pages are working fine, and I can edit everything okay. I just can’t preview or publish any post or page that includes a link that opens in a new tab.

I use the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin for editing posts and pages. I also have the ‘s2Member Framework’ plugin for the members only areas. This problem seems to have come about today after installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin to add a forum to the site.

The last time a post was successfully published with a link that opens in a new tab was on the 31st May and the only change I have made since then is installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin this morning (13th June).

I’ve tried looking at various troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them seem to fix it.

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been looking at some of the other posts and pages and it seems I can no longer see a pattern to which ones I can edit and which I can’t. I had thought it was something to do with the code for opening links in new tabs or windows due what I mentioned above. Now I can’t see any obvious similarity between which ones I can and which I can’t edit.

Thanks in advance for any help.”

best I can suggest is to look at item 8

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

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress looks at

the WordPress block list
no. links

in that part of the code, so maybe worth asking paid memberships if they do any checking.

Otherwise without site access, I can only guess that another plugin is doing something.

[Robin W]

this works on my test site

add_filter( 'bbp_default_styles', 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;

function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css ($defaults ){
unset ($defaults['bbp-default']) ;
return $defaults ;
}

[kikismedia]

Here is the code they assisted me with on buddydev

/**
* Modify activity args
*
* @param array $r Activity args.
*
* @return bool
*/
function buddydev_modify_record_activity_args( $r ) {

if ( $r[‘type’] && in_array( $r[‘type’], array( ‘bbp_reply_create’, ‘bbp_reply_edit’ ) ) ) {
$r = false;
}

return $r;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_record_activity_parse_args’, ‘buddydev_modify_record_activity_args’ );

And it’s worked

[Robin W]

might be better as this to ensure it fires after bbpress has loaded

add_action ('plugins_loaded' , 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;

function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css () {
	wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;
}

[Robin W]

wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;

should do it

[JohnRDOrazio]

I can confirm that the problem is in bbpress do shortcodes, I will leave it deactivated for the time being and will open a ticket on the plugin support forum.

[robertherold]

Thank you for your answer!

email_change_email for the ‘User Email Changed – For User’ notification.

new_user_email_content for the ‘User Email Changed Confirmation – For User’ notification.

I think I only need the last one because it sends the ‘User Email Changed – For User’ notification.

[cryptoking]

That was some brilliant code. Thank you so much.

[Robin W]

add this to your custom css

#bbpress-forums .entry {
	width: 100%;
}

I am a newbie on BBPress and just installed it and I’m in the process of setting it up. The problem is that the body columns are not aligning with the topic headings.

I did some testing and this is the default layout which is not aligning.

Forum: Imagination Room

However if I create a new Page and insert the shortcode the alignment is perfect, so I’m not sure what’s happening, but I don’t want to create several dozen pages and insert shortcodes, so I’d like to figure out why it’s not aligning.

test

I’ve tried messing with some of the css but I couldn’t figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Robin W]

answers from my perspective – I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here, and has written some plugins including style pack

1. it was bbpress authors’ choice to change freshness to last post – it does the same thing, and you can change what it says to what you want either using code or style pack. I don’t think there is any change in philosophy, apart from that what most other forums call that column.

2. I logged 3297 which is incorporated in 3356, which is as far as I know the fix. It is awaiting bbpress authors to look at it.

3. Given that bbpress authors have lots to look at, and that the freshness problem was not in 2.5.x code, I simply added a re-run of the 2.5.x code into my plugin and made it an option, which seems to fix the issue for many people. Given I am designer, author, tester, and everything else for my style pack plugin, I can simply do this. I do not have the problem that my code will affect 300,000 sites, or is run by several people who have busy lives and need to agree who will do what.

function bbp_subscriptions_handler always have $action = ''…

I`m fix this:

if (!$action && $_GET['action']) {
    $action = htmlspecialchars($_GET['action']);
}

Check this… I think is bug…

[Robin W]

#main-content {
background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%) ;
}

[falconizer]

i want it as main background like this

#main-content {
  background-color: #000;
}

That worked fine, but not with:

#main-content {
linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%)
}

[falconizer]

Thx for that link. But im a complete noob and have no idea how to put in the code in my theme css area.
i tried with:
#main-content {
linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%)
}
But get error there!

[Robin W]

hey if it works, then it’s good code !!

servers are so fast nowadays, that a few cycles extra will make no difference to what is downloaded !

well done on cracking it, it’s always a good feeling when it works !
