bbPress.org

thanks, I think I have a solution I’ll come back later with instuctions

Hi @robin-w,

I just installed your plugin, but the child page still not works.
I build a single page template, put the shortcode in the section(boxed), and set the condition as Any child of > my forum page.
Anything missing?

@robin-w Installed your plugin on and have some feedback for you.

I had already solved the template problem with archives and singles.

Outside of Robin’s plugin, the trick to archives was to setup an archives template, use the Post Archive widget, and in the dropdown setting for the display, choose Full Content, instead of Classic, or Cards. That will output the BBPress forums.

Anyhow,Robin, the one place I was able to get to work were the user profiles, and your plugin fixed that for me. Once I had your plugin in place, the profiles started working. Of course, the plugin also broke all the work I did on the Elementor templates before I installed the plugin. It turns out, I don’t need to do any Elementor template work at all with your plugin.

The only issue is that all the BBPress pages render as 100% full width. I looked into /hell0-elementor-bbpress-fix/templates/bbpress.php to what I can do there. I noticed that there wasn’t any unique specificity in the class names within that template. All the class names are generic. My solve for this was to add the class “forum-container” to the class definition on Line 17.

This gave me something to target to handle the widths of the forum pages.

Hi,

Can you explain how you created Single Forum page in elementor?

Thanks

I did your solution, and it shows my recent posts instead of forums !

Hi
I can see here that you have been able to apply the following condition on theme builder :
SINGLE PAGE with CONDITIONS-> ANY CHILD OF: FORUM.

When you say FORUM, do you mean each forum of your board, or do you mean the Forum homepage
if so i can’t find in the list of page that forum homepage, that would be the solution

thanks !

Hi

Here is how you can do it :

First you need elementor pro so that you can use theme builder

Then on theme builder you add conditions to your template for single post :

include :
Forums > Forums
Forums > Forums by author
and :
> Any child of (to include topics too)

Then you exclude :

All pages
All posts

so that the template only applies to the forum

Then you create a page for your forum homepage and you paste : [bbp-forum-index]

on this page you have full control with elementor

the normal hompage is /forums/ so you just need to redirect /forums/ to this page (permanent redirect)

For some reason only profile pages and search pages are not included in this template, but not a real problem in my opinion

Hi all,

I think I have a better solution. Add the following to your themes functions.php:

function make_post_type_public() {
    global $wp_post_types;
    $wp_post_types['topic']->public = true;
    $wp_post_types['topic']->show_in_nav_menus = true;
}
add_action('init', 'make_post_type_public');

Then “Topics” will show up in your Elementor template conditions and you don’t need to mess with the other solutions which seem a little clunky. Works well for me and hope it works for others!
