Thank you, but what would the actual line of code that should be entered there look like? Again, I apologize for the basic question, and I truly appreciate your help! 🙂

[Robkk]

.content, #right-sidebar {
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

this should do it , you shouldnt make everything at the top super cozy though.

[Robkk]

Now i am think what the point of having this forum because Mostly Webmaster talks about code and customization and i have limited knowledge regarding that. i think i should abort this forum.

sorry about that,

but how did you get the actions button on each post if you didnt know much about code?
like how did you get a quote link in there??

[MarximusMG]

Thank you SO much robkk.

At the risk of sounding like a complete newbie (which I definitely am), I’m getting stuck at placing the link in loop-forums.php. What would that line of code look like, using the sample New Topic URL?

[Robkk]

for sidebar, also replace that .content code with 5px padding top with this

.content, #right-sidebar {
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

and

#right-sidebar {
float: right;
width: 28%;
padding: 0 0% 0%;
}

I whole idea of having this forum is having a common place where admin of bbpress forum can chit chat about managing the forum. i appreciate that you guys have provide genuine feedback. Now i am think what the point of having this forum because Mostly Webmaster talks about code and customization and i have limited knowledge regarding that. i think i should abort this forum.

@cybarmitzvah

well you shouldnt use that code.

especially this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: -85px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 2.00em;
}

because if you go to your about page, there is text colliding with each other
and never go negative.

[Robkk]

it should have but i mean there is space created by different objects.

try this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 1.4875em;
}

if you want to lose more space try this

.container-wrap, footer .ftop {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 2% 0 2%;
width: 96%;
background-color: white;
}

after that there isnt any more you can delete.

[Robkk]

I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?

try this, but if you see some weird looking css throughout the rest of your site in that area remove it, Or try to find an alternative.

.content {
padding-top: 5px !important;
}

search forum and topic icons in bbpress search then go from there

[Robkk]

they use , the bbpress shortcode for the new topic form.

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.

more shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

create a page , lets say “new topic”

add that shortcode, and save

place an html link in loop-forums.php

the link should look like

<a href="http://sitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>

style it with css with

a.bbp-new-topic-button {
background:#009375;
color:#fff;
}

[Robkk]

saw your site , and see that you have an actions button on each post

i assume you are doing the same thing as my dropdown list for bbpress admin links, or that you took the code from my topic. I think its a great idea , and more help would be great.

As for your site , right now all i can see is that its doing the same thing as this sites support, but i guess if you can come up with some cool ideas and code or i guess some custom themes you could in the future be for bbpress as buddydev.com is for buddypress if you develop some features for bbpress users.

heres for sent from name

// Change the Mail Sent from NAME
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'email_sent_from_name' );
function email_sent_from_name( $name )
{
    return 'YOUR COMPANY';
}

credit goes to jordan boston for both functions

[Robkk]

How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?

[gold1]

i get that post comment page on firefox, it looks fine in chrome, but my brother tried from his computer and he gets page not found in chrome, works fine in IE and firefox. Can it be a setting in the browser or something? I put the shortcode on my register page in pages -> edit page

[Ene Marius]

Hi, I’m trying to display the total posts and topics count on the index page (content-archive-forum).

I know that this works inside a forum, but is there something similar that counts the totals posts / topics ?

Thank you.

[Robin W]

and look at the styling crib

bbPress Styling Crib

[Robin W]

ok, the register in the login in the sidebar works fine.

On what page and where did you put the shortcode?

[Robin W]

@tomkalili

I can only suggest that you start by setting up a forum, and then come back with any questions you have.

to start you should follow the guides in the documentation

Codex

[Kris35]

Ok thats great – thanks. I was using User Pro but I didn’t like it. I kinda remember the BBPress login widget was a bit rough looking but am sure I can get a coder to make it look pretty. Do either of you know if most people with a BBPress forum also use the BBPress login widget or do they use something else?

[Robin W]

no, we can carry on here !

I have to say I’m not sure whether it can take two, the codex seems to think it can be passed 2in the examples.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode

However you are passing an array $attr to the function, so why cant you just pass two elemenstb within that array

$attr[‘id’]
and
$attr[‘id2’]

[PinkishHue]

Yes support is a little short here but we just have to deal with that. I think support will improve as the plugin becomes more and more popular but it’s just taking a while 🙂

As bbpress is a WP plugin, your question is more WP specific, so – as you’ve mentioned – you just need to use the WordPress Codex to find out how to do things like move your installation. This is a valuable tip for everyone – if you’re having trouble finding an answer here, try the WordPress Codex or support forums as many answers can be found there.

[sktrader]

bbpress uses wp user database and bbpress plugins comes with login widget to enable login on the sidebar. you can enable registration on the frontend by putting bbpress shortcode on the page

[Robkk]

i found this code but i dont know if it helps

// wp_mail altered for bbPress (Mail sent from address)
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'email_sent_from' );
function email_sent_from( $email )
{
    return 'noreply@sitename';
}

[Robkk]

if one registers to wordpress they also are capable of posting on forum topics.

all registration is around wordpress.

bbpress may come with a register shortcode to place on a page ,but all the information still goes to wordpress.
