this plugin creates a style.css for bbpress to use, and you are correct that the plugin won’t work without this, so you will not see any effect.
644 should be good for this as it allows owner to read/write.
do you have ftp access to your site?
If so look to see if this file is present
wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/css/style.css
That is the file the plugin creates, and if present what file permissions does it have?
There is no style.css. The only file in that directory is styles.php.
Does generate_css.php need more permissions to create the file? What files or folders in your plugin would need more privileges to create and edit files?
Because I can change them, I think my provider may have some added security in place that may be causing this.
the wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/css directory should have 644 privilege – can you check what it is?
Permissions on that folder are 755
so need to be set to 644 and it should work !
sorry ignore that, too early in the morning, 755 is more permissive.
I can only suggest that you delete and reload the plugin as maybe there is a corruption.
It looks like everything is resolved now Robin. Thanks for the time spent on this. My provider made some group/ownership permission changes and that seemed to fix everything because now I don’t get any error messages and changes made in plugin show in bbpress.
I do have one question:
I am trying to use a font family and it doesn;t seem to be showing up so I may be using it wrong I have tried doing typing these into the box but font still doesn’t show:
“Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif
or
“Monotype Corsiva”
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
If you can post the url/link to a page that this should be showing on, I can take a look and see what’s wrong.
Here is the link to the page: http://www.forgingfriendships.com/community/
I set the font for the breadcrumb (ie: Home > Community) and just never seems to change when inserting either “Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif or “Monotype Corsiva” into the settings.
The help page link discusses sticking it what I have listed but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I am sure I am doing something wrong or maybe using the wrong font name but I don’t know 🙂
Just tried
“Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif
on my test site and it works.
I can see this parameter set kin the system, but something from your theme is over-riding it.
Not sure what to suggest you do next
The theme I use is Enigma Premium. I do use a child theme for tweaks and things like that, is there something I could add to a child theme to give your plugin priority over the themes CSS for bbpress?
If not, thanks for trying Robin. So far your plugin has been great and I will hopefully finish up look and feel this week for bbpress.
Just had another look – on that page are you talking about
Home>forum
or
Home>community
?
The ‘Home > Community’ is the bbpress breadcrumb. I will be removing that other from the page that is a theme related breadcrumb which isn’t working well. But the one right about forum box is the one I am trying to change the font on.
I was able to set the style and color for the breadcrumb line but that font doesn’t seem to be working for me. Opening this piece in firebug shows that it is inherited from ‘div.bbp-breadcrumb’.
Could that other breadcrumb from the theme be affecting this one?
yes it is bbp-breadcrumb that my plugin alters, but if you look in firebug, you’ll see that it is grey, indicating that it is not taking effect.
With a default theme (I use twentyten to test) it works fine.
….ok just had a thought and a look
your theme has
.enigma_blog_post_content p {
font-family: “Open Sans”,sans-serif;;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 27px;
margin: 0 0 20px;
}
which set up a paragraph (p) as “open sans”
bbpress prints the breadcrumb text following a para html, so it uses the code above, as that is what it has been told to use for paras.
so we need to alter the style pack code to
#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb p {
font-family: “Monotype Corsiva”,Times,serif;
}
to get it to take effect, as now it says for a para in the class .bbp-breadcrumb use this font-family.
That should then work for all cases.
I’ll do the code change for stylepack for that later today.
ok, version 2.2 released – let me know that this works !
