Trying to set up bbPress and open a small forum on my site.
Have encountered a weird (small) issue with the headline on the forum page.
I have installed bbPress, created a new page named Forum and inserted [bb-forum-index] on it.
Everything works fine, except for that the headline that says Forum points to the bottom-most url instead on sitename.se/forum. Se the picure below for reference.
How is this possible? If i don´t create the Forum-page at all and just type in sitename.se/forum the url is correnctly linked to sitename.se/forum. But as soon as i create a forum-page and add the bb-forum-index code, this happens.
I need to be able to use the editor to add more stuff to the page (other text-fields etc.) so just leaving out a forum-page is not going to work.
There seems to be more issues with the forum starting page…
If you go to http://www.enkelteknik.se/forum and look at the headings stating “Ämnen” “Inlägg” and so on, they are of a certain size and font.
However if one click in to one of the forums (for example the first one, named “datorer”) the text size and font changes (for the better).
There seem to be an issue with the landing page that uses the shortcode bbp-forum-index and links and fonts not being displayed correctly.
Have I missed something in the settings or am I doing something wrong when implementing the bbp-forum-index shortcode?
Hello,
this could be a plugin conflict that affects the forum. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer and bbpress, clear your cache and reset cdn files. Then check the forum again.
Let us know if the problem is still there.
Thank you!
Hi,
I disabled all the plugins (also updated Visual Composer to the last theme-included version) but no change.
I think the font size problem is due to the fact that i still have to use a css-hack to actually target the paragraph (p) settings under the individual pages, like:
.page-id-81 p {font-size: 12px !important;}
– if my forum page has 81 as the id-number.
This has been an issue since i brought the theme about a year ago (have had to do it on my contact-page for example). It only applies when using Visual Composer since the divs being created by it seems to be uneffected by the regular page paragraph setting.
As for the link on the H1/Title being incorrectly set to the bottom-most forum I have no idea what can cause. I disabled the whole H1-tag with:
.bbpress .td-page-title {display: none !important;}
Not an ideal solution, but at least it works.
Any more ideas on this?
Hello,
For the font, if you change it with css you need to inspect every place you want to change it (use the browser inspector) as not all places are ‘p’ elements.
As for the h1 link, you will probably need to contact the plugin author and let him know of the issue. Try to switch to a wp default theme to see if the link still goes to the wrong address.
Thank you!
