Elementor and BBpress theme builder

    Hi

    I am customizing BBpress with Elementor

    i managed to add a theme builder template for bbpress with display conditions :
    Forums > Forums
    Forums > Forums by author

    That’s all i can find as conditions on theme builder
    so it applies to forums but not to :
    – forum home
    – topics
    – profiles

    i can’t figure out how to include those in the template
    i tried the Any child of condition but i can’t find the forum homepage in the list
    i can only set Any child of … and then add each forum one by one, which is not a good solution when a forum has plenty of forums

    the easiest solution would be Any child of “Homepage forum”

    Any help welcome thank you

    i tried every theme, at the moment the default theme Twenty twenty one, makes no difference

    if you have elementor you can try, i wonder why elementor doesn’t detect forum/ as a page

    maybe because it is not a real page on a WP basis, forums and topics are, but homepage forum seems not to be (like profiles and search too)

    For those who have the same problem, here is the solution :

    Here is how you can do it :

    First you need elementor pro so that you can use theme builder

    Then on theme builder you add conditions to your template for single post :

    include :
    Forums > Forums
    Forums > Forums by author
    and :
    Any child of (to include topics too)

    Then you exclude :

    All pages
    All posts

    so that the template only applies to the forum

    Then you create a page for your forum homepage and you paste : [bbp-forum-index]

    on this page you have full control with elementor

    the standard homepage is /forums/ so you just need to redirect /forums/ to this page (permanent redirect)

    For some reason only profile pages and search pages are not included in this template, but not a real problem in my opinion
