    Hi,
    I have received a few complaints from my users, that when they search in the our forum, a result list displays, but it’s not possible to keep searching without having to go back to the main forum page.
    Is there a way to keep the search function on every page/post of the forum?
    thanks in advance for any replies/help with this.
    Daniel

    Use this PHP code place it into a child theme functions.php file or use a plugin like functionality. 

    //display bbPress search form in search results
function rk_bbp_search_form_in_search_results(){

    if ( bbp_allow_search() && bbp_is_search_results() ) {
        ?>
        <div class="bbp-search-form">

            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

        </div>
        <?php
    }
}

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_search', 'rk_bbp_search_form_in_search_results' );

    Also look at this guide.

    Hi Robkk,

    Thanks for the code. unfortunately it doesn’t work for my website. Well, I have a vagrant set up on my computer with a copy website and i test everything there before i make real changes.
    I made a child theme and a style.css file (this works as my wordpress site recognises it) and i made a functions.php file and added the code you gave me. The thing is, i tried some other code that exists on https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#23-show%c2%a0the-bbpress-forum-search-everywhere and they didnt work either.
    any suggestions?
    would greatly appreciate any help.
    thx
    Dan

    Hi,
    can you tell me if its actually worth adding a child theme, if the parent theme is an individually created one by a web design company? There wont be any updates to this theme.
    Also, can you explain what you meant by “… or use a plugin like functionality. “.?

    This plugin its called Functionality, its like a plugin that can hold custom php code snippets.

    Thanks for the code. unfortunately it doesn’t work for my website

    Both of the code snippets I posted should show the forum search above a single topic, single forum, and in search results. Well unless your custom theme has custom bbPress templates with all the available hooks I am using in my code removed.

    I mean you do not have to.

    Hi,
    can you tell me if i should be able to add this to my functions.php file and it should work?
    The reason i ask is that i have tried it and it doesnt show any search box after the initial search.
    thx
