That's it quite simple once you know how. Select the new blog page you created in the drop down as show above.Select the new homepage you created in the drop down as shown above.First click the radio button to set static page.Now that we have our home page and blog pages designed we will now need to go into our WordPress Admin and under settings->reading. The OptimizePress Drag and Drop Builder What settings need to be changes to accomplish this?
I wrote these posts on Drag-n-Drop builders: Unlike the blog page this page will be designed how you would like your home page to lookĪ drag n drop builder really comes in handy for this part. So you will need to create a new page for the home page.
Just like the Blog Page you will need a page for the home page. Once we make the new settings you will change your WordPress to point to this new blog page. So the first thing you will do is create a new blank page and call it something like Blog. You will need to have a location for your blog page. The first thing you need to know is that when you make the settings changes I discuss below so that you have a static home page.
#OPTIMIZEPRESS BLOG SETUP HOW TO#
I also noted that Optimizepress was discontinuing their support forum in favor of their ‘customer happiness team’.Glen's WordPress Tip #3 - How to Set a Static Home Page.īy default, the WordPress setup sets the front page to show the latest blog posts. I just did a quick Google search on ‘Optimizepress and bbPress’ and it looks like there is a lot of incompatibility. That way you can use the WordPress Editor (Appearance>Editor) to make changes. I also make a copy of the bbpress.css file from plugin folder (\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\css\bbpress.css) and put it in the theme folder. That way bbpress will always use that template. Remember, whatever optimizepress theme template.php you want to use for the forums page (right sidebar, no sidebar, etc) make a second copy of it IN THE SAME FOLDER and rename it bbpress.php. It allows you to modify colors, fonts, font size, etc easily. I suggest that you try changing the forum root slug to ‘forum’ or ‘forums’įinally, unless you are very adept at CSS modifications, I recommend the ‘bbp style pack’ plugin. Individual topic page: sitename/forums/topic/topic-title Individual forum page: sitename/forums/forum/forum-name I use the bbpress default settings as follows:Īnd I check the ‘Forum Prefix’ box as recommended.
I think you need to review your bbpress settings again. If the forum root is ‘discussion’ then the /welcome page should be either /discussion/welcome or /forum/discussion/welcome. by going to‘ OptimizePress > ‘Blog Setup from the WordPress dashboard. Do you perhaps have a page titled ‘Welcome’? Try hovering over the forum title on the /forum page and see what the link says. To start using OptimizePress take a minute to run the blog setup. So I would expect it to use the template of the /help page, not the one of the /forum page. If you leave the /forum page blank then you can choose whether to show the forums index or the topics index on the bbpress settings page.Īs I noted before the URL of the Welcome page says it is a subpage of the ‘Help’ page ( ). The index shortcode on the ‘forum’ page is perfectly normal.
