I needed to add a Login/Logout link in one of my navigation menus.

Using this from the bbpress docs got my link to work, but how would I add this link into another menu? For example, the link went into the menu below my logo in the header, but I would like to use it in my very top menu (above the logo).

its a theme issue,

ok, so try

The link you gave

Sidebar on left for Forums, then right for Forum and Topic – Why?

had this as his solution

Just swap the floating elements from left to right, where content becomes right and sidebar becomes left. Remember to end with the !important to override any other CSS. Code is thus:

.bbpress.single-forum #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-forum #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}

You need to put the code in your style.css

I meant adding his code to the style.css ?

[mvasicm]

Am I right that I should put this code into functions.php file in my theme right?

Im still getting english version.

[Robin W]

I just looked and it’s actually in the code as

<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your topic needs a title.

and the translate works on exact !

which might explain why it didn’t work in the pot

you can try it as one phrase, and if that doesn’t work, then make it two

ie
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == ‘ERROR:’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘CHYBA:’;
}
if ( $translated_text == ‘Your topic needs a title.’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘Vaše téma musí mít název.’;
}

return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_translate_text’, 20 );

The same is probably true of the POT file, so you try all that there first !

I changed syntax and the code is ok, but nothing happen on the page.

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == “ERROR: Your topic needs a title.” ) {
$translated_text = “CHYBA: Vaše téma musí mít název.”;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_translate_text’, 20 );

?>

Hello Robin,

thanks for quick response.

I tried to add manually into .po file, but it doesnt work I dont know why…

#~ msgid “ERROR: Your topic needs a title.”
#~ msgstr “CHYBA: Vaše téma musí mít název.”

Then I tried your way, function file, but there seems to be error in your code. It says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /data/web/virtuals/82697/virtual/www/domains/investplanet.cz/wp-content/themes/sahifa/functions.php on line 139

[Robin W]

I hope the theme authors read this.

In the meantime either add it manually and keep a note

or add this to your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

just put the old and new words to change ‘old test’ and ‘new text’

[Robin W]

you’d add this code in the theme function`’s files

@robin-w I did deactivate the plugins and found out it was Yoast’s breadcrumbs causing this.

@Robkk apologies but where would I put this code? Sorry, I’m a bit new to coding. Found it!

Thanks for all your help.

If I add an image with a caption using the tinyMCE editor it generates the code below which is displayed properly in the WP editor and if I preview the post from outside the forum.

[caption id="attachment_683" align="alignnone" width="300"]<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0089.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-683" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0089-300x225.jpg" alt="An image description" width="300" height="225" /></a>My image caption[/caption]

However, once the post is added to the forum, I get the image but the caption codes are ignored.

[caption id="attachment_683" align="alignnone" width="300"]
<my image here>
My image caption[/caption]

I have tried switching Themes to Twenty Fiifteen and Twenty Thirteen but the problem persists.

common issue with yoast breadcrumbs.

/**
 * Filter to call default bbPress breadcrumbs
 */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb', 1, 3 );
function myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb($trail, $crumbs, $r){
        // This will remove wordpress-seo filter to disable bbPress breadcrums by default
        remove_all_filters("bbp_get_breadcrumb",10);
        return $trail;
}

use this to enable bbPress breadcrumbs

[Robin W]

yes you’ll need to enable debugging and have a play to see where the error is

Hi @robin-w

Thanks for responding, but it’s not really a name change. Kindly see this link
the breadcrumbs for that is Home | Topics | News & Announcements | Welcome to Nurseslabs and our forums! how come it points to Topics rather than the forum’s homepage?

[Robin W]

is this just a name change?

if so, add this to your functions file

add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'change_breadcrumb_text' );

Function change_breadcrumb_text ($trail) {
$trail = str_replace ('Topics','Forum Index',$trail) ;
return $trail ;
}

I actually came up with an in-elegant solution using css.

select#bbp_forum_id, [for="bbp_forum_id"] {display: none;}

Participants are only able to edit posts for 5 minutes–per the default setting. I just prefer that all the backend stuff remain backend stuff.

If anyone has a more elegant solution (one that avoids the needless database querying for ALL the exiting forums/categories for every topic edit) please let me know.

Thanks again, Chad

[Chad R. Schulz]

I’m trying to create a discussion board type site. Each forum will be only accessible through a shortcode pasted into a post/page. All the forums will redirect to the appropriate post/page so the users will never be able to access the actual forum hierarchy.

However, when a participant “edits” their topic they are given the option to move that topic to another forum–giving them backdoor access to the hierarchy that I don’t want them to have.

I simply don’t know where to go in the code to eliminate that edit option. All I want is for them to be able to edit the content and not the location of that topic. Leave all the topic redistribution up to the moderators and administrators only.

The site is not yet live, but any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Chad

On my site the pagination bar has line breaks make it line up vertically horizontally. On this bbpress site the pagination bar sits horizontally. How do I get rid of those breaks? I’ve looked into the code but can’t seem to find a way to do it.
