when you edited the template , did you just remove the array( 'size' => '14' )

because when i look at http://revlanka.com/forums/forum/automotive-news/local-news/

it doesnt even show started by: Admin anymore, just remove the array code and that should remove the avatar and thats it.

[tonydes]

I just tried out the code as well and it didn’t work.

[tonydes]

@robkk

So I did what you said and added the loop-single-topic.php to a folder in my child theme labelled bbpress. I edited out that code, but unfortunately nothing changed!

[Stephen Edgar]

Robin, WordPress includes functions for this:

e.g. sanitize_file_name($current_user->user_login);

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_file_name
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title_with_dashes
(There are quite a few of them, they are linked in the ‘related’ sections of the above articles)

[Robkk]

@tonydes i just forgot about this, do this first

pay attention to the started by image on the link to your forums in the above post.

add this for custom css ,

span.bbp-topic-started-by img {
width:20px;
height:20px;
}

does that change the size??

[Robkk]

first one more question , do you have custom css rules that you added already that include modifying images?

I don’t have a bbpress custom theme

okay create a bbpress custom theme now, add all the templates into your child theme.

more info here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/

lets work on this first http://revlanka.com/forums/forum/automotive-news/local-news/

since it has the issue on the notice , started by and freshness authors

now go to loop-single-topic.php and find

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

does it say 14 ?

if you dont want the started by author image remove make it where its like this

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link() ); ?></span>

tell me if that works

I’m pretty novice at this, but does this mean that I have to edit from the style sheet?

all of the images that have issues (started by, notice, freshness), are sized in the templates in php rather than css .

[tonydes]

@robkk, I’m using a premiumpress theme. I tried again after disabling all my plugins, but the code still didn’t work.
I don’t have a bbpress custom theme either. I’m pretty novice at this, but does this mean that I have to edit from the style sheet?

[tonydes]

@robkk haha I know, the images are absurdly huge! I tried the code but unfortunately it didn’t work 🙁 Honestly I ‘d prefer if none of those avatars were there except for the one in the post. However, I’ll take smaller avatars any day rather than those big pictures!

[Robkk]

@tonydes you dont know how much im laughing, its like your forum is bombarded with a gallery of your self portrait. xD

do you want the started by and freshness authors still if they were just a smaller size??

and also the notice author image if it was a smaller size??

but first try this if you dont want any of those avatars, see if this code works.

.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }

[Robkk]

Is there some code generator and if not the plugin, I guess I can add it in “Style.css”

I just need when people posting in forums they have options to change color and size of font. I am unable to find something

you want a code generator , so that users have an option to change font color and font size, I do not know how to do this, so i cant help much here.

as for CSS I am not very familiar with that.

everything in the documentation says all about using css ,and how to, using firebug.

give me something specific to change the font size and color ,and ILL help you there.

[tonydes]

So the css editor works, and this code got rid of all my avatars, but I’d like to keep the one in the post itself;

.bbp-author-avatar {
display: none;
}

Here’s a link to the over sized pictures: http://goo.gl/wmTgBo

Thanks for taking a look at it! Much appreciated!

[Robkk]

dont reply on the other topic you made

pretty much just copying the same thing from this

Finding .css style file

give me a link to your site

so i can see if its a special code in your template making the avatars huge
if its a .avatar css rule making all the avatars on your site big
or if i could find something else.

I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?

thats not a good idea , it will be lost next upgrade.

ok try this, which should tidy most usernames

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://mysite.com/forums/users/
<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
$string = $current_user->user_login ;
     //Lower case everything
    $string = strtolower($string);
    //Make alphanumeric (removes all other characters)
    $string = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9_\s-]/", "", $string);
    //Clean up multiple dashes or whitespaces
    $string = preg_replace("/[\s-]+/", " ", $string);
    //Convert whitespaces and underscore to dash
    $string = preg_replace("/[\s_]/", "-", $string);
    return $string;
echo $string . "";      
?>/edit/">

[tonydes]

@Robkk Thanks for the response, but I moved the file to both locations, and edited the css but nothing worked. I used this code to resize the images:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
width: 20px !important;
height: 20px !important;
}

I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?

[Stephen Edgar]

None of those plugins standout as something that would cause the issue, though I expect most likely it is one of them…

You state:

When the bbPress plugin is deactivated, I can not. Instead what I see is a page that displays:

And then:

I disabled then deleted bbPress and still saw the error reported above. I then re-installed and re-enabled bbPress and the error went away.

If you can’t access /wp-admin with bbPress disabled, how exactly are you re-activating bbPress?

Hi robkk,

Thanks for your fast reply. I am not too good with CSS format.

I just added “Adding CSS” plugin and was trying to see some code to work with it, but unable to do it.

Is there some code generator and if not the plugin, I guess I can add it in “Style.css”

I just need when people posting in forums they have options to change color and size of font. I am unable to find something like and as for CSS I am not very familiar with that.

Thanks
Nik

[KevinBCarney]

Stephen… Thank you for your reply.

Here is my current issue.

When the bbPress plugin is activated, I can access my website via zippe.biz/wp-admin.

When the bbPress plugin is deactivated, I can not. Instead what I see is a page that displays:

Error 500
The server encountered a syntax error, and could not complete your request.
Website owner? check your code, and your debug log, you may find a ‘parse’ error in there.
Visitor? Try and reload it in a few minutes.

I disabled then deleted bbPress and still saw the error reported above. I then re-installed and re-enabled bbPress and the error went away. I then disabled bbPress and the error returned.

I have no idea what to do next. My hosting provider is working on this as well as we’re not sure where to focus our attention.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

[Stephen Edgar]

@kevinbcarney The Deleting Conversion Table… Failed is nothing to worry about, this is just cleaning up and removing the extra database table if you had previously imported forums.

@jordanpinski wrote

“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”

Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?

Rob is also correct above (presuming you do want to delete all bbPress data)

• Run “Reset Forums”
• Deactivate bbPress
• Uninstall bbPress plugin

I’ve just tested this and I have no issues accessing the dashboard after performing the above steps.

Caveat: You are correct that the bbp_keymaster role is still assigned to the user in wp_usermeta, though this should not block access for you to WordPress’ dashboard, there is a tweak to the uninstall/deactivation for bbPress 2.6 listed here in #2580. I also came upon another issue that I’m updating a patch for now, but again, none of this should be stopping yopu from accessing the dashboard after deactivation and/or uninstall.

As Rob wrote, what other plugins are you using that may conflict with this? It could be any plugin role or capability related and/or other plugins that extend bbPress functionality.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

bbPress Styling Crib

[lizbeck]

Hi all,

I just installed bbpress using the shortcode to display the forums on my frontpage, but I don’t think the lists are displaying as intended. In the part2 instructions it says the default look is:

But, by default my forum is displaying as a list: http://pubs.hamlin.org/tech/

I’d be happy to use the default view if I could make it work. Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on here? I’m using the twentyeleven theme.

Thank you in advance for your help!

[Mathijs Lemmers]

It’s been a long time but I have a problem with the last provided code. It should would perfect, were it not that my username contains a space. And the code doesn’t change a space to a dash.

Could the code above be modified to achieve this?

Thanks so much in advance!

[Robkk]

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
margin: 0 0 8px;
border: 1px solid #222;
