Poking around with firebug, it looks that what I need to restrict to is:
(1) it should be in a class typic-type-topic
(2) the div class bbp-reply-content should not contain any < br >’s.
Can one add that into the conditions?

Thanks a lot!

OK, I’ll try it, but before I do, can I ask a couple of questions–where did you find that it is parent-forum-5, and should it be .bbp-reply-content
or .bbp-topics-content , and why?

Thanks a lot!

Martin

p.s. I am already moving the content panel around on the page:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
    margin-left: 100px;
    padding: 12px 0 12px 0;
}

Can I add the redefinition of p into that? How should I do that? What does the div. in front of bbp-topic-content do?

Sorry about all these questions!
Thanks a lot!

Martin

oops–I see that firebug answers a lot of my questions. I still have
a problem; if I understand what this fix does, it doesn’t change the html that TinyMCE produces, just shrinks the space for < p > < /p >.
But if someone pastes from, e.g., textedit, or uses the HTML panel rather than the Visual Editor, then the p’s are really between paragraphs and the lines are in just separated by < br >. I don’t
want to mess up their formatting!

Thanks again!

Thank you! Here is the link: https://poetryroundup.us/whup and here is an example of what happens when people paste in their text: https://poetryroundup.us/whup/forums/poem/my-unravished-bride/. I have fixed most of the posts by hand (as admin–it is a pretty light traffic site).

It would be perfect to just fix it for topic starts in the forum

https://poetryroundup.us/whup/forums/forum/poems-and-prose-about-poems/dr-whup-ass-bitchass-poetry-roundup/

which seems to turn a specific topic URL into just

https://poetryroundup.us/whup/forums/poem/\[specific_topic]

(presumably due to permalinks, but I don’t understand how WP makes up addresses).

Thanks again for your interest!

Martin

Again, any help would be appreciated!

Can I do anything with the Advanced TinyMCE Config plugin? It looks promising, I just don’t know what I should try.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Probably the pros would consider it an ugly hack, but you could try to rederict the bad links to the correct ones using the .htaccess file; I’m not knowledgeable enough to tell you what precisely to do, but I used
RewriteRule author/([^/]+)/?$ https://yourwebsite/forums/users/$1/ [R=301,L]
to change “href=”https://[yourwebsite]/author/%5Bxyz%5D&#8221;, to
href=”https://[yourwebsite]/forums/users/%5Bxyz%5D&#8221;

So you would need to change references to trp.old to whatever they
should be using this rule.

I am using a plugin called htaccess control, and the discussion is
here: https://forum.ternstyle.us/topic322-markup-question.html
The writer of the plugin seems to be very knowledgeable, terse, and helpful.

I am a n00b, but could permalinks solve the problem?

Thanks,
I tried using the Paste from Word and the Paste as Text tabs, and it didn’t help–still double spaced. Curiously, if I paste from textedit
(default Mac text editor), there is no problem. Could the “Paste from Word” function be modified?

I did find a suggestion somewhere to change the spacing but using

.tinymce-content p {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 2px 0;
}

as a custom CSS in the graphene theme, but it didn’t work and actually broke the editor for topics posts and was a hassle to fix.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

It turned out that the solution was to use the WP htaccess Control plugin and use it to install a custom .htcaccess file with a rewrite rule
(using the pretty url’s generated by the permalinks):
RewriteRule author/([^/]+)/?$ https://yourspecificwebsitename/forums/users/$1/ [R=301,L]

I ran into the same issue, though the number of hidden capabilities depends on the role–e.g., admin has 11 extra, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Elsewhere someone told me:
You could use htaccess and a RewriteRule for that.

Can someone help me figure out what that means and how to do it?

Thanks!

Martin

To be precise–if a link directs me to …/?author=n, I want it to go to …/?bbp_user=n

Thank you for your quick reply.

This site is given as an example here:
https://bbpress.org/about/examples/

I am interested in a basic site, with several forums, registration, logins,
etc. Is there any template anywhere for this kind of functionality?

How about the examples given at: https://codex.bbpress.org/showcase/
or even https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/example-of-a-bbpress-forum

Can the settings, etc., for these be found anywhere?

Thank you!
