August 16, 2019 at 2:07 am #222482jtprattParticipantI know that WPMLS uses BuddyPress forums, and that they are at /forums in your site. I also know there seems no way to modify or edit the forums home of the forums URL anywhere. It seems like forums are only created when classes are created. Is that true? Is there no WPMLS place to edit the forums or forums home page like in BuddyPress? I already tried to edit index.php in the /forums folder inside the WPMLS theme folder. And I also tried to move /forums/index.php to the child WPMLS theme folder - neither of those worked at all. Simple changes I've made to the just edit the H1 heading on the page just don't appear.August 16, 2019 at 11:08 am #222601DianaParticipant@jtpratt Forums are a part of BBpress plugin. To customize the forum home page you have to go through the code of BBpress plugin. Or you can use any third-party plugin for this which is compatible with BBpress You can also ask for help in the support forum of BBpressAugust 19, 2019 at 1:53 am #222789jtprattParticipantHi Diana - thanks for the reply. This doesn't make any sense. While I know forums are part of BBpress, many of the features of WPMLS are built on BBpress. In the WPLMS theme there is a folder called "forums" and a file called "index.php" which clearly is supposed to run the forum homepage. But when it edit it, the edits don't show up on the forums home. Also in WPLMS when you create a class, you get a forum for it. There has to be some more help with forums - here in WPMLS.August 19, 2019 at 7:53 am #222830loganMemberHello, as Diana wrote please contact to the bbpress to edit the home page of the forum.
you can create forums from backend too and you do not need to connect it with any course. refer: http://prntscr.com/ouhj9jAugust 19, 2019 at 11:22 pm #222961jtprattParticipantHi Logan: So - thanks for the screenshot. This verifies something is wrong. I have WPMLS installed and have nothing in the sidebar that says "Forums" at all. It looks like this:August 20, 2019 at 8:03 am #222993loganMemberHello, In dashboard>pages. go to add new page. Call this ‘Forums’ or whatever you want your menu item to be. Then in the content section, you may want to have some introductory words “welcome to the forum” etc. then add the following bbpress shortcode [bbp-forum-index] Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site. You will now have a forum page, and a forum to display. refer: http://somup.com/cqjYjneZC4

You showed me the wp-admin dashboard with "Forums" in it. I attempted to show you once but you cannot add images to your forums here (why?). View this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/ovuh0a You'll see that WPMLS is installed, but there is no entry for "Forums" like there was in your previous screenshot. That's what I was trying to tell you. WPMLS is installed, and BuddyPress is installed. I have working forums on the front end of the site which are by default with WPMLS assigned to the permalink /forums. Creating a page to show forums when WPMLS already has one at /forums is strange - why would you suggest that? Also, you still haven't answered the question - why is there a /forums/index.php file inside the WPLMS theme folder by default if it's not editable? Your replies seem to indicate you don't understand how the theme works from a development perspective. Do any of the actual authors of the code within WPMLS answer these forum posts?August 22, 2019 at 6:27 am #223259Anshuman SahuKeymasterWell to modify the forums page you will need to edit the bbpress templates . yes we have the bbpress folder in our theme but it does not overwrite the bbpress forums page template . The correct way would be to create a bbpress folder inside your theme and copy the " content-archive-forum.php " file from bbbpress plugin into bbpress folder in your child theme . please refer : https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/amending-bbpress-templates/August 24, 2019 at 1:02 am #223464jtprattParticipantThis is very helpful, and thank you for that answer. Could you also answer per my screenshot why your screenshot shows "Forums" in the sidebar of wp-admin (with WPMLS installed) and my does not (with WPMLS installed)? How is that possible? I have forums available, I just can't get to "forums" in wp-admin sidebar to review, create, and work with topics. Is this a setting?August 24, 2019 at 8:21 am #223481Anshuman SahuKeymasterOkay to check this out we would need your site url and admin credentials.Please share them in private reply .August 26, 2019 at 11:17 pm #223676jtprattParticipantThis reply has been marked as private.August 27, 2019 at 1:13 pm #223779loganMemberThis reply has been marked as private.August 28, 2019 at 12:13 am #223820jtprattParticipantThis reply has been marked as private.August 28, 2019 at 12:49 pm #223893loganMemberDear Mr. as we asked you twice, i need admin credential, not a guest account. please read carefully because it is delaying too much. refer: http://prntscr.com/oyn6c9 http://prntscr.com/oyngl0August 29, 2019 at 12:57 am #223962jtprattParticipantThis reply has been marked as private. -
