Unable to Assign Forum to Topic

Published on May 22nd, 2014 by pedravil

Hi there,

I’m having trouble when defining topis on my instalation.
I can create Forum entries, but when I’m creating Topics the forum combobox is always empty. I’m creating Forums not Categories, so the combobox should show the forum list.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Kind regards.

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

Published on May 22nd, 2014 by demonboy

Going nuts, here. I’m using an Avada child theme and I’m fairly au fait with CSS and getting under the bonnet with PHP (commenting stuff out etc), though I’ve not done much aside from a few CSS changes.

My forum home has the sidebar on the left. The problem is when I click into a forum, (so the URL is http://www.lizcleere.com/forums/forum/assignments/, for example), the sidebar now jumps to the right. Same when I click into a topic.

What isn’t explained very well is the use of the additional slugs. ‘Topic’ is set as the slug ‘topic’, so surely it stands to reason that I create a ‘topic’ page, format it how I want the ‘topic’ section to appear, and save it with the name ‘topic’. I’ve tried that and it doesn’t work.

I’ve also tried disabling the WP Tweaks plugin, removing the inactive widgets, logging out, logging back in, reactivating etc etc. Nothing.

I then took a copy of Avada’s single.php and renamed it forum.php and made it a template. I’ve called that template up on my Forum page and the sidebar appears on the left, as intended. (Actually, it’s the Blog sidebar, even though I’ve set it to BBPress sidebar, but that’s another story.)

Why do ‘forum’ and ‘topic’ not inherit the properties I set on the forums page (i.e. default layout (not 100% width or full page or anything like that), sidebar on left, using the forum template page)? I feel like I’m missing something really obvious…

Forum still not working right…

This is regarding http://saveourgrace.com/forums/

I believe I followed all the instructions properly. However, initially, my WordPress “Page” with link above was blank. I found advice at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-forum-blank-pages/ that it may be a theme issue, so I simply added the short code

.

This got the page working as you can see it now. It properly shows the “Fundraising” forum. However, the number of topics is listed as 0, and when I click on the forum name, I get the otherwise blank page at http://saveourgrace.com/forums/forum/fundraising/ .

I did add a topic per the instructions, and confirmed on the topics list page that my topic belongs to the fundraising forum.

I am using the theme “Academica” version 1.2.2. I changed to “Twenty Thirteen” temporarily, and things seemed much better. I could see and get into the topic. If I figure out how to make the topic show with “Academica”, am I nevertheless going to find myself fighting an endless battle with this theme? Or should one more fix take care of it? (Of course, if it is just one more fix, what might that fix be?)

Note I’m using WordPress 3.9.1.

Thanks very much,
Helmut

Ban users

Published on May 22nd, 2014 by lifk

I don’t know if it’s possible to ban users from writing in the forums some amount of time like two or three days. It’s possible this with bbpress or maybe with a plugin?

Thank you.

Search shortcode is displaying two search forms

Published on May 22nd, 2014 by demonboy

I’m using an Avada child theme and have inserted the search shortcode. Unfortunately it is showing two forms. I’m sure I could get rid of one by doing a display:none on the relevant div but I’d like to know why this is happening. You can see the page here, whilst the code is here:

Problem installing bbPress

Published on May 21st, 2014 by bonbida

Hello,
I would like to get help with a bbPress problem. When I activate the plugin, it does not direct me to the welcome page. Also I cannot see the plugin option such as Forum, Topics ect.. on the left side bar on the dashboard. Tried many times to reinstall it, but with no success.
What should I do now?

I’ve changed the Permalink to : /postname and added

Not sure what i’ve done wrong.

Thank you.
