    Hi,
    For your question about ‘arange my sub-forum verically instead of horizontal’, you can add this code in a child theme or your own plugin or functions.php file (Remove the // twice if you also want to hide the counters):

    add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'bbppc_bbpress_list_forums' );
    function bbppc_bbpress_list_forums() {
    	$args['separator']        = '<br>';
    	// $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
    	// $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
    	return $args;
    }

    For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.

    Thanks Casiapa for your contribution.
    The question here is; could you please explain to me how to create a child plugin for bbpres so that i can make the changes or if i can get blank bbpress child plugin will appreciate.
    i know how to create child theme for all kind of themes but i have never create plugin because if i didn’t create my own plugin for bbpress, during updates, all modifications will be a waste of time.
    Thanks

    What exactly do you want to do ? Play with background colors ?
    If it’s a public site, please include the URL so people here can propose you things directly working on your site.

    Hmm, nothing comes to my mind directly. Maybe with a plugin like https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-new-ui ?

    I also saw a lot of ‘Oh bother no topics’ and other messages. You can always use my bbP Toolkit to hide those.

    Thanks Pasca, Though i am actually doing what you said above.
    Please how do i activate these plugins:
    bbPress – Private Replies
    bbPress – Report Content
    bbPress New Topics
    Better bbPress Signature
    gp bbpress attachement
    Please how do i configure these plugins to work because these features are not showing.
    Also, please hoe do i customise the forum for users to upload image of there choice?

    As said above:
    For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.
    If they do not work, then you need to ask on the forums of those plugins.

    For the avatars, you can start reading here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/faq/user-avatars/

    Thank you Pascal.
    I installed the plugin but the arrangment i made to subforum, all scattered.
    i have uninstalled it already hoping to get a better option later.

    But man, check my site http://www.guruscrib.net you will notice the login,register,forget password on the menu bar.
    so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like “http://rush-hour-crush.co.uk&#8221;?

    and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?

    Thanks so much man.
    you the boom.lol

    @seyibest Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

    so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like

    They added custom menu item links in the menu section. You can create links leading to the WordPress login/register forms. There is also this php code snippet here to add links, you might need to add a conditional to it for a specific menu.

    add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rkk_add_auth_links', 10 , 2 );
    function rkk_add_auth_links( $items, $args ) {
        if (is_user_logged_in() {
            $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
        }
        elseif (!is_user_logged_in() {
            $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
            $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
            $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword') .'">Lost Password</a></li>';
        }
        return $items;
    }

    and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?

    There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]

    The plugin bbP Toolkit is mention on these posts.

    I’ve installed bbP Toolkit, but do not know how to access its’ settings.

    I’ve installed it on a MultiSite installation.

    Could someone give me directions to access its settings?
