Needs more customization of error message

[osarusan82]

The error message when visiting a restricted forum ("This forum is for members only.") needs more customization ability. Right now the text gets slapped onto the top of the page and in my case is appended to the breadcrumb trail. It's very hard to see and also looks bad.

The ability to add a few html tags like div or p or br, or the ability ot adjust text size or weight would go a long way to help make the error message more visible.

Hi @osarusan82

I know this issue is old, and I still see that this is still occurring. Due to the lack of hooks on the bbPress forum archive page it's limiting for us.

There is a filter to adjust the message contents here - https://github.com/strangerstudios/pmpro-bbpress/blob/dev/pmpro-bbpress.php#L168

I do think this can be improved to allow for div's etc.

What you can do is unhook this function, and then hook it into wp_head for example and then create your own function/message for the ?noaccess message or even redirect user's to somewhere else.

Here's a link to the full function - https://github.com/strangerstudios/pmpro-bbpress/blob/dev/pmpro-bbpress.php#L161-L172
