This is probably a dumb question, and you’ll point me to a much easier solution!
Also I am still very new to wordpress, so understand a little of css and php’s but not tons. I’ll use thing and thingy a lot as well, so as not to embarrass myself with the wrong technical terms.
I am using bbpress 2.2.4 on WordPress 3.5.1 with a twentyten child theme that does a few minor mods.
I am setting up a forum, but don’t want users to see the WordPress toolbar, as this is outside the theme.
But I do want users to be able to change their password and details.
I am using the bbpress login widget in the bbpress sidebar, and by clicking the avatar or their username, users can get to a theme friendly profile page that lets them do just this.
However clicking the avatar is not instinctive, and I’d like (in the absence of a more obvious solution) to add a thingy to the bbpress sidebar that says “amend profile/change password” which when clicked takes you to the same place that clicking the avatar does (or some similar solution)
From searching on the forums, I have found the line within the widget that does this fro teh avatar (around line 140) which looks like
‘<a href="” class=”submit user-submit”>
But have no idea how to then use this or other code to achieve the goal.
Any good ideas, or is there a very basic solution I’ve missed.
Thanks
I am fairly miserable at web design, so I did the visuals and had another person do the bulk of the code and technical stuff for my website. I have a WordPress site with forums on the site using bbPress. My issue is that I seem to only be capable of having 5 topics in the forum at any given time. At the top it will indicate it is showing topics 1-5 of 8, but there is no link to any page where the older topics can be found. It’s fairly useless to have a Forum where only the most recent 5 topics can be seen. So my question is, is there a simple fix I am overlooking, or is this more likely something the person I had work on the site previously set up aside from bbPress? The site is live, and can be seen here:
Black Flag Games Forums
I am trying to make a open forum that anybody can see what topics are discussed, but requires them to register and login to see the detail topic message. How can I do this?
Please advise!
I tried using a handful of different plugins to change the default avatar. However whenever someone changes thier avatar the “mystery man” icon is still showing in the bbPress profile. What plugin are people using to do custom avatars with bbPress? Is there one that will allow people to choose from a couple different default avatars?
I’ve restricted access to /wp-admin using .htaccess file within the /wp-admin directory.
I have a forum with BuddyPress + bbPress installed.
All forum users receive the default subscriber/participant roles upon registration.
Visitors not logged on are free to roam the forum (no posting though).
But logged-in users are asked for the username/password that is set for site admin (for /wp-admin, specifically) immediately after accessing a forum or a topic.
How can I stop WP asking regular forum users for username/password set for /wp-admin?
I can provide url to site, a test user credentials and the content of .htaccess file.
Thank you.

I have two recent installations of BP. The first one is www.mancaveland.com and it is my main domain account with hostmonster. The second is www.hollisterwatch.com and it is an addon to the account. The first one has all of the options like keymaster, member etc. The second is missing these options all together. Is this a known issue?
Thanks,
Brian
I would like some help displaying all my forums on the main forums page. I believe I have more forums(60) then the settings allow but can’t find where to make the change to show all. This is my first WP site….
hi.. i tried to look around the web to find solution of my trouble.
my forum is http://tanyajawabforex.com/forums/ and all seems to be fine (the installation)
i work on wp 3.5.1 + bp 1.7 rc 1 + bbp 2.3
but little bit annoying about the display of my bbpress forum.
Dot of list style appears and the text wrapped. Maybe because of not a full width.
Any suggestion how to fix it ? @netweb ?
So, right now with my un-edited bbPress installation on the forum pages, the authors role is displayed as KeyMaster::1, and so on and so forth depending on the forum role of the author of the topic / reply. Is there a way to change what is displayed there? I would like it to display possibly my wordpress user roles rather than the forum roles, or maybe to display something else once I figure out how to modify the display.
Is this possible?
I don’t really want to edit core bbPress files so i thought i would try to make a plugin that would just change them.
Any and all replies are much appreciated. Thanks.
This is my site / theme and you can see what im referring to on this page:
http://oqueuefansitedev.co.nf/?topic=a-test-topic.
Is it possible to change where the link to the topic / reply’s author links to ?
Currently when you click on the author’s name it links to the author’s bbPress profile, i would like it to link to my themes author.php file.
Thanks for any replies.
