I have another question 🙂 Is there a way to specify which wordpress template file the forum uses?

I have it running on my site now, the address is http://www.blackwatergulch.com.....log/forum/

But, my site sidebar is always showing, I'd like the forum to take up the whole content area. So, I made a new template page called forum.php based on my usual template page just with the sidebar code removed, but I can't figure out how to get it to use this new page.

any ideas?

You probably need to add the special custom template header. See jere: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages - about half way down.

My forum is up and running 🙂

 
now I just noticed that on the member list, it lists everyone who ever signed up for my blog which is fine, but it also displays everyones email address. I want that to be private, is there any way I can hide it on that list or anywhere else for that matter? I don't want to get blamed for people getting hit with spambots or stalkers or anything else 🙂

We do not show a members email address to any other user except the forum admin. But that still confuses me because we don't show it on the members list anyway. We DO show a users website if they have provided the address of one.

Oh ok, that's great then 🙂 I just got worried when I saw that, but I logged out and went back to the board and couldn't see it.

Really liking your board 🙂 it's exactly what I was looking for

Hi, everyone

 

I used 4.5 a few weeks ago and was quite happy with it. 

Judging from the bit I read, it seems the beta is pretty stable for 5. 

 

"With 5.0, you will now be able to use the wp updater within the admin to update to new versions!"

 

So, I want to put it on a live site and just don't want to have to re-install from scratch - hence from this point on, from what I quoted, the upgrade path from beta to final release version will now all be automatic?

I gathered this from the quote, but wanted to confirm prior to install.

Yes -AFTER it is installed for the first time.
Same goes for V5 SP Plugins and themes.

Hey folks!

Complete Green Horn here 😉

In my first round, I failed to install correctly. I will try again.

 

Quick questions:

 

Can I reverse the thread order? I want newest first.

 

It appears I can display Simple-Press output via a single post page?

 

The end game is to allow local news for http://TRCBNews.com

(dumping the Sports section)

 

I'm *blown away* at the signup process here! Bravo!

So far, I'm not allowing any signup for anything... beta to come.

It appears unlike BuddyPress (overkill for me) user signup goes into the WP users?

 

Great work here! cool

TIA to my stupid questions.
