bbPress Genesis Extend

bbPress Genesis Extend is for bbPress 2.1+ and Genesis 1.8+. bbPress 2.1 is currently in testing.

bbPress and the Genesis Framework are both fantastic additions to any WordPress site. However, depending on your setup they don't always play nice right away.

bbPress Genesis Extend does some behind-the-scenes tweaks and fixes to make bbPress/Genesis integration as quick and painless as possible.

Additionally, bbPress Genesis Extend also:

  • Adds option for a forum specific sidebar
  • Adds option to control the layout of your forum, separate from Genesis
  • Adds Genesis Layout Controls for Forums
  • If a forum has a specific layout set, all topics in that forum will use that layout.
  • Adds Genesis SEO Controls for Forums

The forum sidebar and layout options are located on the Genesis Settings page, look for 'bbPress'.

Enhanced Admin Bar with Codex Search

This simple plugin enhances the default WordPress admin bar by adding a new menus that includes search fields for searching the Codex, wpbeginner.com, WordPress support forums, plugins repository, themes repository etc. Links and search fields to common areas in wp-admin (posts, pages, users, custom post types, plugins, media, settings) are included in the drop down menu when you are not in the WordPress admin area.

If that's not enough link goodness for you, the plugin now has the option for a custom WordPress menu in the WordPress Admin Bar. (Props to @wpsnipp - http://wpsnipp.com/) If you go to wp-admin/nav-menus.php you'll see a theme location, "Admin Bar Custom Navigation Menu" where you can attach a custom menu.

Other plugin features:

  • if you use the Genesis theme framework, a custom Genesis menu can be added to the admin bar. (for more enhanced functionality regarding Genesis admin bar menus, see GaryJ's excellent plugin, Genesis Admin Bar Plus)
  • Includes option for a dashboard widget that conveniently displays info about the currently active theme.
  • Turn wpbeginner.com search and WordPress support forums search on/off.
  • Turn on/off admin bar features on the front-end or the admin side.

Enhanced Latest Tweets Widget

Enhanced Latest Tweets Widget extends the twitter widget which will now allow you to display a certain number of tweets by a specified user with a specified hashtag in a widget. On the admin side, given the twitter username, you can tell (1) how many of the last tweets that you want to display, (2) whether to hide replies, and (3) then whether you want to limit the output to contain a certain hashtag (with or without the #).

Generate Box

Generate Box adds more functionality to the StudioPress Generate Child Theme.

Generate Box is a very handy tool for Generate Child Theme users, it allows you to display the Generate Box on front page, home page, single posts, and everywhere. It also has an option to switch between different color schemes with only a few clicks.

See live example of Generate Box.

Genesis 404 Page

Customize the content of the 404 Page within the Genesis Theme Framework.

Genesis Admin Bar Plus

Genesis Admin Bar Plus adds resources links related to the Genesis Framework to the admin bar.

These resources include direct links to StudioPress support forums for each theme, quick access to Genesis Theme and SEO settings pages, quick access to Genesis-related plugin settings pages (for those that are active), and links to useful tutorial pages for how to get the most out of Genesis.

Genesis Admin Bar Plus is built with theme and plugin developers in mind, as they can add support for their product with only a few lines of code, giving their users instant access to the right support board, a link to their website etc.

  • Adds support for menu item positioning, so custom entries can be added anywhere, and not just as the final items.
  • Easy addition of Support board links via single lines in theme functions.php.

Genesis Admin Bar Plus is conceptual fork of the Genesis Admin Bar Addition plugin, re-written from scratch, adding new features.
