your theme is loading css with the page including

.btn-primary, .btn-secondary, .btn-success, .btn-info, .btn-warning, .btn-danger {
	color: #fff !important;
}

this area is using .btn-primary

as it comes up as inline, it is almost impossible to overwrite.

Don’t know how your sign-up form is done, is it a plugin?

[Jacob_26]

Hello,

I’m trying to style my subforums (background, h1 entry text etc.) but unfortunately when I change the css it also affects and overwrites my other posts…

Can I assign ids or classes? When I insert the subforums with shortcodes in custom pages, how can I change the breadcrumb links in the main forum page and all subpages?

I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Best

Jacob

what functions are you using to create the topics/replies – if you are creating topics and replies using bbpress functions, then repair shouldn’t be needed.

do you want me to take a look at your import code ?

[liderxlt]

Hi, I have a project which updates the forum daily through an import program.

What I need is to run the repair tool that has bbpress once a day, when all imports are finished.

I found this code but I can not make it work.

function bbp_register_default_repair_tools() {

ok so leave in the code that you have – that will make the default into date

then add this

function rew_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0) {
	echo rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id );
}

function rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0 ) {
		$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );
		$link_url  = $title = '';

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );

		if ( bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );
		} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id );
		}

		$time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );

		if ( !empty( $time_since ) && !empty( $link_url ) )
			$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
		else
			$anchor = esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );

		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_forum_freshness_link', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );
	}

and where you want to show a ‘since’ freshness link change

bbp_forum_freshness_link() to
rew_forum_freshness_link()

You should put any amended templates into your child theme

come back if you don’t know how to do that

[Robin W]

ok try this

add a page called ‘forums’ and put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index] 

in it.

Your site should then see it as a page, and you should be able to use this page in your menu swapper

[emgb_520]

I have installed a plugin called “MENU SWAPPER”. This allows for each page/post on the site to choose any menu that has been created to be displayed on that page/post.

Originally, the functionality of this plugin did not include ANY of the forum pages. I figured out what to add to the menu swapper code to get the individual forums and the topics to have the functionality to swap menus. See the code below, I added “forum” and “topic” to make that happen.

function mswp_add_swap_meta_box() {
$post_types = array(
‘post’,
‘page’,
‘forum’,
‘topic’
);

The only pages on the site where there is no MENU SWAPPER functionality are the forums archive page here: https://scoutfantasysports.com/forums/

I am assuming this is because there isn’t really a “PAGE” in wordpress for this.

The menu on that page needs to be the same as on the individual forum pages here: https://scoutfantasysports.com/forum/fantasy-talk/

I need to know how to make this happen because it looks like I will need to edit a bbPress plugin file to do it.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

adding an editors choice field to the topic form is doable, and creating a view of these also possible, but would be a chunk of code.

[Robin W]

This can be done with gravity forms and some code.

How technical are you ?

[u_Oi]

Hi,

In my forum some users post great topics and I don’t want disappear them in the pagination. I wonder if there is a way to mark topics as for example “Editor´s Choice” to keep a record and display them in other page with a shortcode or generate a view?

For example, allow keymaster and moderator roles mark topics as Editor´s Choice?

Any idea?

Thanks,

[Caroline Hehemann]

1. I’m using the code because I need the ‘d.m.y’ format.
2. Exactly.
I need both the date format filtered (date) and the original freshness function (‘since’) in the topic-single-loop.

[Robin W]

you would think that was easy – but placeholder is a concept for <input> and <textarea> tags, and wordpress doesn’t use that for then visual editor.

I found several bits of code that do this for posts and pages, but couldn’t get them to work on topics/replies – I haven’t yet worked out why.

I’ll have a further play later to see if I can work it out

Robin

[Robin W]

1. are you using code from above or my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/
2. so you want some as a date and some as ‘since’ ?
3. if so, which ones are which

[Robin W]

try

.bbp-the-content {
	background-image: url("paper.gif") !important;
}

ie add the !important bit

if that fails, then it is beyond general help !

[simondevries]

1 fixed the code \/

2. i put my own image inside

but it is still black

any ideas?

[Robin W]

your css area is very picky, most just accept what they are given

try

.bbp-the-content {
	background-image: url("paper.gif");
}

[Robin W]

not sure if it’s theme or plugin – maybe be a combination

anyway if you are happy not to have the avatar showing in that line, then this fixes

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar {
	float: left;
}

add it to your custom css.

[Yanur Islam Piash]

I am using [theme-my-login] shortcode in login and register button in the top bar. And a caldera form shortcode in “contact us” button in the footer.

You can see it here: https://www.bohubrihi.com/forum/support-forum/support-for-students/

[Robin W]

add this to your custom css and alter the image to the one you want

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
	background-image: url("paper.gif");
}

[Robin W]

what shortcodes are you using ?

[Yanur Islam Piash]

Hi,

No shortcodes are working in the bbpress pages. The shortcodes are runnng very well in all other pages of my site. Just not working on bbpress topics, forums and replies pages. So I guess the problem is within bbpress. I tried to find out plugin conflict but no conflict was found.

Here is one of my topic pages: click on the “Login” or “register” button in the top menu. A hover will appear where I put a shortcode that works well in any other pages. Also, you can click on “contact” in the footer to see another shortcode not working. No problem with the plugins created shortocode or the popup modal, as they are working just fine in all other pages.

All the plugins, themes and applications are updated.

[Robin W]

sorry – it needs to go in your theme’s functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

ok, two wrong fixes, so I loaded it to my test site

This works for me

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_add_email') ;

function rew_add_email () {
	$email = get_post_meta ( bbp_get_reply_id () , '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ) ;
	if (!empty ($email))
		echo '<p>'.$email ;
}

[Robin W]

This should work

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_disable_text_editor' );

//editor bbpress
function rew_disable_text_editor( $args = array() ) {
	$args['tinymce'] = true;
	$args['quicktags'] = false;
	if( current_user_can('administrator')) $args['quicktags'] = true;
	return $args;
}

add this to your functions file

[Robin W]

ok, try this, if this fails I will load it to my test site and get it right for you

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_add_email') ;

function rew_add_email () {
	$email = bbp_get_author_email (bbp_get_reply_id () ) ;
	if (!empty ($email))
		echo '<p>'.$email ;
}
