customize root page

They look the same to me apart from the number of forums, can you either :

Confirm that you have fixed the problem or
Tell me exactly what the difference is

sorry. the difference is that the one with more forums has the exact same set of shortcodes and the same shortcake options:

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ’93, 85, 87, 89, 91′ search=”no” breadcrumb=”no”]

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘285, 282’ search=”no” breadcrumb=”no”]

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ’83’ search=”no” breadcrumb=”no” breadcrumb=”no”]

but on the one with more forums, each shortcode is displaying ALL the forums, even though the shortcode options limit it to a specific few forums.

the one showing all the forums is the root page. i assume this is the difference, but i don’t know why. i want the root page to display like the first image.

is that clear?

ok, I’d just try switching t a default theme such as twentytwelve to ensure it is a theme issue.

Then since your avada theme is a purchased theme, so suggest you try their support site for help

hi. i tried it with twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, and twenty sixteen, and got the same result each time. it doesn’t seem to be a theme issue. can you help with this?

thanks!

ok, I haven’t seen this as an issue before, and can’t say why this is occurring.

i tried switching to a default theme and deactivating most of the plugins:

ACTIVATED

• bbp style pack
• bbPress
• BuddyPress
• Fusion Core
• LayerSlider WP
• Slider Revolution

DEACTIVATED

• Advanced Custom Fields
• Akismet

• What’s Hot Activity Tab for BuddyPress
• YOP Poll

i still got the same result.

and does the problem go away of you disable the style pack plugin?

well, then the shortcodes just stop working, like this.

of course – sorry it was late when I answered.

can you send me a screenshot of then settings in

Dashboard>appearance>customise>static front page

where is says ‘your theme supports a static front page’

sure: here you go.

i figured it out! i just took this part of the shortcode script:

function bsp_display_selected_forum($attr, $content = '' ) {

...

// Filter the query
if ( ! bbp_is_forum_archive() ) {
	add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'bsp_display_forum' ) ;
}

and commented out the if statement:

// if ( ! bbp_is_forum_archive() ) {
	add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'bsp_display_forum' ) ;
// }

problem solved!

Thanks – I’ll take a look and see if I need to change my plugin
