thanks bud

I had @import in my child theme

did as mentioned in

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

put below code in style.css in child theme
———————————————–
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
———————————–
also copied page.php (from twentyfourteen folder) and renamed to bbpress.php put in root of child theme

[Robkk]

try this anywhere where you can put custom css

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
line-height: 1em;
width: auto;
}

Lots of info stored against a topic in wp_postmeta and several parameters you could use, but the most obvious is

_bbp_last_active_time

so your sql statement would search through wp_posts for a post type of topic where postmeta post id _bbp_last_active_time was greater than a month.

Easiest way to get you head round this is to look at a forum topic in your website that has replies, and make a note of the topic number in the heading (the #nnnn eg #15108 bit!).

Then using phpmyadmin, go into wp_postmeta table and type the following into the sql query

SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id=15108

where 15108 is the topic id number.

You’ll see all the data stored against it, and the above should become clearer.

post type is stored in the wp-posts table

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’topic’

Robkk,

I hope to be understanding what you are requesting from me… sorry my english…

This is my link profile (when I click on my name in any topic): http://quadriciclobrasil.com.br/forum/users/admin-2-2-2/

This is the link when I click on ”edit profile” that is appearing on my menu after have I added the code on functions.php: http://quadriciclobrasil.com.br/forum/users/admin/edit (PAGE NOT FOUND)

anyway, can I give you a admin acess?

WordPress Messenger Plugin: Send Private Messages Between WP Users

you need userPro for this one

http://codecanyon.net/item/private-messages-for-userpro/7124805

[Robkk]

in both functions you see something similar to this

$profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';

change forums to forum , since you have changed your root slug.

$profilelink = '<li><a href="/forum/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';

[bsilverop]

Thanks @robkk. This is looking good to me after making the changes. I tested on a few different screens here with different sizes and seems to be working well. I’m not sure why the @media screen commands weren’t working before, but suspect it had something to do with the order. This is what I ended up with for those looking to do something similar in the future. Thanks again, and if you accept donations please contact me or direct me to a place where I can contribute to all who helped here. Thanks again,

this should remove that space on the right of the forums

[Robkk]

@bsilverop

remove the !important from

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
 .bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}
}

there should be some space to the right, I will try to figure out that too, but tell me if removing the !important fixes the forums hiding under the left sidebar.

Hi @Robbk,

I added this code on functions.php from my theme and appeared a link ”profile” on my menu who directs to this link: http://quadriciclobrasil.com.br/forums/users/admin/ but it is a page not found. Am I doing it correctly?

[Robkk]

this css code i forgot to add , put it before the media queries

.bbpress .hentry {
    margin: 0px auto 48px;
    max-width: 100%;
}

[Robkk]

alright this should be your entire css now

if the @media queries still do not work try just adding them into your child themes style.css file.

if it still doesnt work when you put the media queries in your style.css make sure you are not using @import and instead using this in your child themes functions.php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

more info here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and also contact jetpacks plugin support and see if there is a problem or if i made another mistake or something

you can see i removed the width:100% on the #bbpress-forums css code , its because it didnt really do anything.

I’ve updated the plugin to include a (very basic) paypal payment feature and the ability to mark topics as “accepted”. You have to manually update the topics when payments come in, I don’t have enough time to make any sort of PayPal IPN integration.

Code has been updated here: https://github.com/dtbaker/bbPress-Support-Forums ( warning, my paypal address is hard coded into includes/bbps-vote-functions.php )

Screenshots:

Main forum page, it sorts topics by “funds” then “accepted” then “votes”.

Admin topic page: you can vote, mark topic as accepted, and manually update payments.

User topic view, can vote (when logged in) and pay:

[bsilverop]

Thanks. I’m just using one .bbpress .site-content because I’m keeping the right sidebar. Whenever I use the @media screen piece, it just chops off what’s below it. But yes, it does seem like it’s needed. The first other person to test said that the title of the page is cut off just a little bit on the left side, where as on my end it seems like there’s plenty of space.

This is all the custom CSS if it makes a difference:

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

And this is it after I add the @media screen tag (notice it just cuts off the rest):

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {

[Robkk]

try this and make sure its above the other .bbpress .site-content {

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

[bsilverop]

I didn’t notice this before, but the problem seems to be that when I try and save anything with the @media statement, it ends up saving it like what’s shown below (notice the missing margin-right and margin-left) no matter how many times I fill in the missing lines and re-save. I suppose it’s an issue with the CSS plugin (JetPack Custom CSS), but from what I understand that file is stored in the database and generated dynamically and cannot be modified directly. So I’m not too sure how I can add this otherwise.

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
	
}

[Robkk]

@bsilverop

well i just checked and its almost there,

you have space on the left whenever you go to a smaller screen size so you probably need to bring back the @media statement so there is space for the left sidebar when it reaches 1008px but none when its on a smaller than 1008px.

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 0 !important;
}

i think your full width forum should be done now

[bsilverop]

Thanks, removing @media screen and (min-width: 1008px) and adding !important seems to have worked. The forum now resizes to fit the page if you go to a smaller screen size. I appreciate the help from both @robin-w and @robkk. I didn’t expect support like this, I really am grateful. Thanks again!

Solution:

1) Copy page.php and rename bbpress.php. Remove <?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?> as I want to extend beyond the content sidebar.

2) Add CSS:

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

[Robkk]

@robin-w 🙂

@bsilverop well you can try adding !important to it too, or removing the @media screen and (min-width: 1008px)

i just took it right off of inspect element.

but for sure keep the margin-right:at zero pixels because that is where your old sidebar use to be.

if all still doesnt work change .bbpress to #bbpress-forums

reply back if you havent got it yet.

[Robkk]

you can use this to add links to the edit profile section of your profile in the menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can then use this to just lead to just the profile

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_pro_link' );
function my_nav_menu_pro_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

then you can just create a link to your topics archive by going to the menu section and adding a link to the menu with the link being yoursite.com/topics

[Robkk]

change the width from 150% to just 100%, if you go to a smaller screen size the forums are cut-off.

use this and see if it works

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0;
margin-left: 182px;
}

I had initially installed Buddypress but uninstalled it right away.
So Buddypress took a ____ on my domain and didn’t clean up after itself.

Now I need to code my own members list plugin, I don’t see a good one in the plugins directory.

[packzap]

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)

[bsilverop]

It did indeed muck up other areas of the site. But I combined the two you sent and this seems to work:

#bbpress-forums {
	width: 150% !important;
}

Can you see any reason why this wouldn’t be ideal? The only thing I’ve noticed so far is that when testing on a large monitor, the footer has a lot of empty space at the bottom (only on the forum pages). Otherwise it looks to be working ok on my laptop, I’m just concerned it might not for others. Thanks again!
