Hello,
There are 374 pages on this forum, I cannot see where to search, ” JUST THIS FORUM “, Enfold – for the answers I’m seeking
When I use the search at the top of the page, I’m getting way, way more than I asked for.. Example,Forum Page
What I’m trying to do is RECREATE the forum page found on the Demo, what I’m getting is .. ‘no help’
BTW: – I would like MY forum to look like THIS Forum – There is no sample page in the Demo for that..
Hi!
It looks like the advanced search limiting the search to just a single forum isn’t available unfortunately.
As for the styling, this is a custom styled and set up version of bbPress that isn’t available with the theme at the moment.
We have the theme docs online here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/
And this is a good starting point for setting up bbPress: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-forum-in-wordpress-with-bbpress/
Best regards,
DevinHello Devin,
It’s unfortunate that the forum is “A custom styled and set up version of bbPress that isn’t available with the theme at the moment”
It was one of the items that sold me on buying use of this template – and I see that the Demo has a page created that suits me just fine, but isn’t in the Dummy Material – Odd, that you would sell something with a ‘Custom Styled’ page but not offer even instructions how to duplicate that item.Of course, it’s not the ONLY item that doesn’t appear on the Dummy Data, and you did give me instructions on how to view set-up movies and such (which were useful, but not very helpful)
As I said earlier, I wish to ‘duplicate’ the forum page you have in the demo… It’s unique in that it changes with they styles in the Demo here… Colors and such.. But the material you had me view doesn’t offer how that’s done. And from the looks of the lists of problems here, my request falls way, way down on the list..
But I wish it wasn’t – Please, can someone offer ‘exactly’ how to set-up a Forum page for this Template?
Kriesi.at is not the demo for the theme.
The demo is here: http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/forums/
That page is using the default, un-altered bbPress forum set up following the guides from bbPress for which we are *not* support for. If you set up forums using bbPress then that is the result you will get which inherits the theme’s styling options.
Full bbPress docs can be viewed here: http://codex.bbpress.org/
The demo data doesn’t include some pages and settings which aren’t able to be imported like bbPress settings. For everything else Kriesi has tried to include as much demo data as possible to show examples of everything without weighing the import down so that a user doesn’t have to delete a lot of extra pages, posts, images and settings which are really only useful as a demo and not something that could be modified to fit a need.
Hi!
Looks like you did a lot of tweaking on the Enfold > Styling, is that correct? Can you please try to use a predefined color scheme? Say for example, use the “Splash Orange” scheme which is very close to the theme demo.
Cheers!
IsmaelYou can downgrade your version of bbPress to use the same version Kriesi has on the demo and it will have the same exact styling and inheritance.
The 2.4 version of the plugin is what is being displayed with the “old” style of forums you see in the demo. The download from the bbPress SVN is here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.4.1.zip
I’ll explain a bit further on the demo data as I recorded the video and wrote all of the docs. The demo data is there to assist the user so they don’t have to re-create every single element. Some content we don’t force on to users because it can cause a lot of additional resources to be used. Things like bbPress, WooCommerce, GravityForms are all extra data that don’t *need* to be present to use the theme.
So from here what you can do is install bbPress 2.4.1, not update it to 2.5+ which uses a new different style of forums and you will have the same look as the demo. In time, Kriesi will update Enfold to the new styling on the demo site and may change how the theme integrates with its styling.
When I say we are not support for bbPress what I mean is that we aren’t the developers of the plugin. Just like with WooCommerce the theme has support *for* the plugin. This means it will work with the theme but we don’t actually do support for it or in helping to get it set up. bbPress has their own site and support forums for any issues that come up when using it and are much more equipped to answer customization questions, troubleshooting etc.
Devin,
Thank you! – With the downgrade of the bbpress, the forum on my site looks exactly as I expected, and I am satisfied with it.
I am also grateful for your help in getting the problem resolved and apologize for any confusion.
I also understand and accept all of your explainaions on how the theme is put together, Thank you again! Ed
