Wordpress Mingle Forum - Your ADVICE NEEDED

Hi Guys,


I am using a website to test certain aspects of Mingle Forum before I move it onto my domain, and I am currently facing a few issues. Where can I access the Forums page i.e. the homepage displaying the forum to change certain aspects. Take a look here...



I can make changes using A firefox plugin called Firebug, so I know it's possible to do, however I am unable to find the file to make changes to this. Any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

So the overall goal is finding the code to replace the default "Letter" image and replace with images of my own and remove the moderators code and put in a summary of the sub-forum, seeing as the descriptions don't work for the forums.


PS: I am using the ElegantPress Theme.

To save you time you can find it here: ElegantPress Theme

If you guys have done work with Wordpress forums before I would highly appreciate your help or if you know what to do but have questions to ask please let me know.

Thank You.

  • Any ideas on this guys? Still trying to figure it out without any luck. I thought I would post again now due to time differences and hopefully some of you have some ideas.

    Appreciate it.
  • Actually you are talking about something relatively new in the field and it is not all that spread out yet.

    • You mean forums being run via Wordpress?

      If there are some guys that can do PHP, HTML, CSS and are familiar with Wordpress, I am sure it won't be a problem for someone to make these minor adjustments. I am just trying to find someone who can help me do this, even if it means paying for the help to be done.

      It's a real pain in the *** lol.

  • Ok, so now I understand better, you are looking for a way to change these site wide defaults to a forum by forum option. I may be over ruled on this but that sounds to me like a BIG job coding the PHP that makes up that plugin. I would think that it would take disabling the site wide code and then creating a way to enable it on a forum level. The plugin draws or creates its pages by pulling info from the database using the site wide PHP directions and it is going to be pretty complicated I think to rewrite that. Wish I could help more... sorry!

    • Hey Daryl,

      Thanks for keeping track on this and giving me some advice. What a shame it seems like a big job. I thought new code gets created per new forum created as the format is the same, but duplicated referencing a link for each image.

      Look here at some of the code <-- Image appears to big for posting.

      Like this code follows a similar format and it's just a case of changing the ref link in order to change the image, so this is what I am having trouble to find, but it must be somewhere surely.
