Hello! I'm building a forum for my website and I really want the users to invest in their profiles. I've figured out how to add fields but I'm having two.5 problems.
1) In the social media links, it will not accept urls that don't start with http:// - this causes a few problems visually, but the main thing is I don't think users will bother to figure out that's what's stopping them. Is there any way to have them enter their username (like @frontierforever) and then have it link? Or at least just the URL without the prefix?
1.5) I cant get the facebook or instagram ones to work even with http://. What am I doing wrong?!
2) Is there any way to hide the posting stats like number of posts and questions ect? Or better yet, hide just some of them?
Thank you so much!
Hi @frontierforever,
All the Social Networks URL's in the Profile Page` Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. Are using https: not http, the users only need to copy and paste their profile links in the fields and that's all, nothing else.
Insert the below CSS Code in Custom CSS Code field, from Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles Settings:
Change the Numbers: 1 and 2 to hide the needed field.
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(1),
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(2) {
display:none;
}
Thanks Chris!
I think I misrepresented my question about the Social URLs (I'm a noob, and barely understand the difference between http and https). I'm trying to get it so the user could just type @frontierforever or at least instagram.com/frontierforever instead of http://www.instagram.com/frontierforever a) so users are more like to do fill it out b) so it displays better.
Thanks! I'll experiment with that code right now! I understand that the (#) is the order in which they're currently listed and I add the display:none; to the (#)s I don't want?
Thanks again!
You need to insert full URL.
http://www.instagram.com/frontierforever if you press on it and enter your Instagram, and check the protocol again you would see that it has changed from http to https.
So in the Network fields you need to insert the Full URL, copy it from the address bar and paste in the Network field.
And I really can't figure this part out: even with the http:// - facebook won't display: https://frontierforever.org/participant/bkrieger/
After experimenting with the code you sent I was able to get the 8th one to disappear, but not the 10th or 11th. What did I do wrong?
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(1),
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(8) {
display:none;
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(10) {
display:none;
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(11) {
display:none;
}
Need some HTML/CSS knowledge.
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(1),
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(8),
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(10),
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-profile-section .wpf-statbox:nth-child(11){
display:none;
}
Thank you so much!! (Lol yes I do). I will insert those right now 🙂
Any idea why the Facebook and Instagram ones won't show up?
I don't follow you, what do you mean don't show up?
You have inserted the URL's of FB and Instagram profiles in their fields from Account and they don't show in the Profile Tab?
Exactly, I type them in and click save, it says it saves but they never show up. It works with the others.
Please provide a screenshot of what you did and what you got.
I checked your Profile Page in your website and saw that you have inserted twitter.
@chris Yes, twitter is working fine. Facebook is on the list but does not appear at all. Instagram is on the list, but when I enter a URL and try to save, it says saved, it does not.
Have you done any customizations to Network fields with User Custom Fields addon? Or some other way?
Also navigate to Dashboard > wpForo > Tools > Debug Tab check Errors & Issues and Check Database Tables Tab.
@chris I had the developer look at at what you said and her reply was this screenshot and link: https://prnt.sc/rDdkNOJqPVw5
Please provide admin access to your website, send the credentials to info[at]gvectors.com, mention this topic in the email and let me know here that the email is sent.
