late night brain fade

try

<?php if (!bbpress()) {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); } // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template.?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php if (!bbpress()) {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); }// Loads the sidebar/subsidiary

[Leonyipa]

yes, I followed your instructions, and when I saw:

Custom Capabilities

I followed it and copy-and-pasted the code into my capabilities.php

however, it still show me the error message.

sorry but pastebin adds millions of blank lines, so without re-editing the file I can’t see what you are doing.

Does it work if using RAW Paste Data?

[Stephen Edgar]

Does it import anything at all? Do see any messages such as ‘Conversion Complete’?

I think most likely it will be you have an incorrect table prefix, my PunBB dtatabase tables are all prefixed with punbb_ so you should check what yours is via phpMyAdmin. Also double check your MySQL username and password.

If neither of the above work let me know the punBB version you are importing from and I will take a closer look for anything that may have changed recently.

@robin-w got this done successfully , didnt need a filter the way i did it

took me about a few minutes when i found how this bit of code is arranged

BBDT Forum will bring you to enter username/password, but no link to new user registration. That page is using: [bbp-forum-index] and is one I setup in wordpress, no link. Does that answer your question? Also, do I need to have a page called Forum Registration using: [bbp-login] that seems redundant. When I initally started I used this link as a guide if that helps: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

[Robin W]

ok no problem

Normally you would have a bbpress.php that would contain

header stuff
while have posts loop stuff
do_sidebar stuff
do_footer stuff

Your theme has decided that the sidebar stuff will be in the footer stuff.

Now all this will work for non bbpress pages, so all we need to do is stop sidebars for bbpress pages.

so put back the footer line in bbpress.php

and then edit footer.php to make the first lines that were

<?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template. ?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/subsidiary.php template. ?>

change to

<?php if !bbpress() {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); } // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template.?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php if !bbpress() {hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); }// Loads the sidebar/subsidiary.php template. ?>

essentially that code says ‘if the page is not a bbpress page ‘ the do the sidebar stuff the ‘!’ is a not statement and bbpress() checks if we are dispaying a bbprtess page

Give it a try, and come back and let me know if it works.

why changing directly doesn’t work?

because on every software update you will lose your changes!

[Robin W]

The ethos behind bbpress is keep it light and let other add plugins for the functionality you require, so you don’t get tons of code for functions that you don’t need.

1. You can create menu logins such as

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or add this code to your functions file

//add login to top of index
function index_login () {
if (!is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-login]');
}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index', 'index_login' ) ;

see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

2. Easily added as a plugin

3. can you give an example of how you would like it to look? doesn’t need to be a bbpress site

[Robin W]

yes use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[SAPinfoASAP]

Hi,

Is it possible to allow shortcodes in the forum? These shortcodes are not part of bbpress, but other wordpress plugins I have installed.

For example one short code allows me to add an optin form, I would like to add this to the end of my forum post.

Thanks in advance,

[Thanh Sang Nguyen]

I have use your plugin bbPress. I has add this code into form-reply.php and form-topic.php

Sorry for the late reply,

why changing directly doesn’t work? I am a bit confused sorry

yes, I will paste the code

[Robin W]

very high chance it will be fine, but risk that your developer will have changed some core files.

Since your trying to learn stuff, then I strongly recommend that you create a test site, which will let you try it there first, but also will teach you loads about wordpress and how it operates, and give you confidence to make other changes in a test area first

heres is what i have now , the sticky and super sticky link are still in one li because i dont know how to split the two links

there is a new problem though with a new css way of displaying a dropdown and working on every post , i have run into some blank lists when i switch to a user with a participant role.

i thought maybe i could use

if current_user_can 'moderate'

to display only the certain lists (<li>)

and also only show the entire menu if the user is logged in

but i dont know how to stack three if functions together

this is the code i have in my loop-single-reply.php

<?php if (bbp_is_topic(bbp_get_reply_id()) ) { ?>	
<div id="bbpdropdown">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="content">
            <ul>
<li> <?php echo bbp_get_user_favorites_link(); ?></li>
<li> <?php echo bbp_get_user_subscribe_link(); ?></li>
<li> <?php echo bbp_get_topic_edit_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_close_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_stick_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_merge_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_trash_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_spam_link(); ?></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="first">Options</div>
    </div>
<?php } ?>	

<?php if (bbp_is_reply(bbp_get_reply_id()) ) { ?>
<div id="bbpdropdown">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="content">
            <ul>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_edit_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_move_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_topic_split_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_trash_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php echo bbp_get_reply_spam_link(); ?></li>

@robin-w you want to try this??

this thread discusses

looks like you need to go via 1.2 but then should just be export/import?

of course back everything up before you start.

Actually if I were doing this I’d do it on a test site first

and just see if it works !

Can you document as you go, and When you’ve done it, come back and give us how you did it, and I’ll add it to the

[3djake]

Thanks heaps for your help guys.

I ended up using Robins plugin, I edited his display.php file.

For future reference for others, here is what I did
I replaced every rpi_label1 with the name of table in SQL database, this works great.

I needed it to work like that because the fields are completed upon registration.

[Robin W]

Hey don’t worry, code is just a bunch of stuff that either works or doesn’t – and yours now works.

what I couldn’t figure out was why the sidebar was showing, and now that you’ve posted the footer.php I can see why. Strange bit of theme coding to put the sidebar in a footer.php but there are only conventions not rules. All you’ve done by deleting the footer line is stop the sidebar running, which is what you wanted.

The fact that I changed your code also is worrying me since I have absolutely no knowledge about php coding. I mean, I’ve found out there is a something called php coding.

Don’t worry you’ve done nothing wrong, it’s all good.

NOW the only thing you’ll need to do is make a note of all the changes you made. Themes sometimes have updates, and these may overwrite existing files, and in your case may also delete the bbpress.php. So keep copies of any files you have changed or added on your PC.

[gogitossj34]

Okay, now this is what I did:
I replaced the line above

<?php the_title( ‘<h2 ‘ . hybrid_get_attr( ‘entry-title’ ) . ‘>‘, ‘</h2>’ ); ?>

with this line in my old bbpress.php file because I see they are in the similar position and the page work ok.

<?php the_title( ‘<h2 ‘ . hybrid_get_attr( ‘entry-title’ ) . ‘>‘, ‘</h2>’ ); ?>

But at the topic page, it pushed the sidebar to the bottom. So, I deleted the get footer line and everything looks exactly how I want them to be.

Only that now I don’t know if they’ll be any problem, especially when I removed the get footer line.

The fact that I changed your code also is worrying me since I have absolutely no knowledge about php coding. I mean, I’ve found out there is a something called php coding.

Anyway, here is my footer.php content, can you check if anything is important ?

<?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/primary.php template. ?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php hybrid_get_sidebar( ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the sidebar/subsidiary.php template. ?>

</div><!– .wrap –>

<footer <?php hybrid_attr( ‘footer’ ); ?>>

<div class=”wrap”>

<?php hybrid_get_menu( ‘social’ ); // Loads the menu/social.php template. ?>

<p class=”credit”>

<?php printf(

/* Translators: 1 is current year, 2 is site name/link, 3 is WordPress name/link, and 4 is theme name/link. */

__( ‘Copyright © %1$s %2$s. Powered by %3$s and %4$s.’, ‘stargazer’ ),

date_i18n( ‘Y’ ), hybrid_get_site_link(), hybrid_get_wp_link(), hybrid_get_theme_link()

); ?>

    return $author_avatar;

can you give us your url so we can see the lack of search !

[gogitossj34]

I tried it but this happen when I get in the General:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in …/bbpress.php on line 14

You can see it here
http://mmo4teens.netai.net/forums/forum/general/

I don’t know if this is right but the error seems to be in this line ( ran some php code checker and read the error on my page):

<?php the_title( ‘<h2 ‘ . hybrid_get_attr( ‘entry-title’ ) . ‘>‘, ‘</h2>’ ); ?>

[Robin W]

Hey no need to apologise, it’s often difficult to resolve these things, and it’s not due to your lack of explanation, it will just be something simple that needs fixing !

can you try the following as your bbpress.php

<?php get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

<main <?php hybrid_attr( ‘content’ ); ?>>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : // Checks if any posts were found. ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : // Begins the loop through found posts. ?>

<?php the_post(); // Loads the post data. ?>

<article <?php hybrid_attr( ‘post’ ); ?>>

<header class=”entry-header”>
 <?php the_title( ‘<h2 ‘ . hybrid_get_attr( ‘entry-title’ ) . ‘>‘, ‘</h2>’ ); ?>
 </header><!– .entry-header –>

<div <?php hybrid_attr( ‘entry-content’ ); ?>>
 <?php the_content(); ?>
 <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
 </div><!– .entry-content –>

</article><!– .entry –>

<?php endwhile; // End found posts loop. ?>

<?php else : // If no posts were found. ?>

<?php locate_template( array( ‘content/error.php’ ), true ); // Loads the content/error.php template. ?>

<?php endif; // End check for posts. ?>

</main><!– #content –>

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

[Robin W]

also either use or crack open my plugin that does exactly this, you’ll find all the code in there

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/

[Robin W]

Thanks. But the other problem is

so is the first issue fixed, and how did you do it? or is this part of the same issue?

sounds like you are directing users to a [bbp-login] shortcode not a [bbp-forum-index].
