Dude you are awesome.
Thank you so much.
A couple of things: The counts are gone but now the bullets are layered over the names of the forums. Is there a way to leave the main theme’s bullets alone but in the Forum bbPress reverts to generic bullet points that it’s compatible with?

Also I must have made a mistake with the breadcrumb code.

// Custom breadcrumb label for bbPress
function my_change_forum_root_breadcrumb_title( $args = array() ) {
	if ( ! empty( $args ) ) {
		$args['root_text'] = 'The EcoPsi Forums';
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'my_change_forum_root_breadcrumb_title' );

It’s not an excerpt it’s the contents of this sub-forum.
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/

I searched and found part of the answer on why it isn’t working from sometime last year.
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=19192
1) In the ‘Template name, without “.php”. No spaces. Only letters, numbers, – and _:’ option type ‘[B]archive[/B]’
2) At ‘Make new template a copy of:’ choose ‘[B]page.php[/B]’
3) Press ‘[B]ADD Main Template[/B]’

I created a page.php and now when I point to . . . [url]http://ecopsi.org/forums/[/url]
I still get nothing, a completely wrong forum page. I get part of a sub-forum rendered.
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/

This is the greeting that I wrote in the forums page.
This is the text it should be showing.

What could I have done wrong?

I’m also working with the people at bytes for all the authors of Montezuma theme on this issue so perhaps they can shed some light on the problem.

First I used method 2 and the page only rendered part of the Welcome text. The shortcode didn’t work.
[bbp-forum-index]

I then switched to Twenty Ten theme and the short code to produce the page Forums worked perfectly.

So this incredibly beautiful theme I’ve been grooming into the hub for my organizations activities doesn’t work with bbPress.:-(

[K-Path]

I used Method 1
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything

b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.

Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.

Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)

Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.

Job done!

I don’t know what information you need to help me. All I know is that when I publish a forum I can see it for example . . .
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/

But when I follow the breadcrumbs to home of the forum I get a totally useless page from which I can’t get to any forums. If you look you can see that there is some text that suggests there are other forums but no live links to them. Can you think of what is wrong?

Thank you for trying to help Robin.

Thanks that was a common sense suggestion and had predictable results.

Robin W,
Thank you for the resources. I can work my way through the CSS and HTML4 and some 5 but I haven’t a clue how to program in PHP. Is there anyone that comes around regularly that would either donate the time for these couple of tweaks or let me pay them over time?

I cloned TwentyTen and renamed it TwentyTen+ and then tweaked the CSS of the formatting to the limit of my understanding. I’m going to keep at that but I’m not going to have the programming kung fu needed to tweak the PHP that bbPress depends on for it’s formating.

I found a way to have a search box that is persistent on every level of the bbPress forums. Now I have to get rid of the second search box that is at the top of the forums. I can’t find where that is in the code to remove it.

Help please.

Auriel
