Thank you so much I found that the following css fixed my problem while using the 1st functions if then statement code

a.bbp-backto-forum {
    margin-right: 8px;
}
#subscription-toggle, #favorite-toggle {
    display: block;
    float: right;
    padding-right: 8px !important;
    padding-top: 0 !important;
}

Wow thank you so much ! 🙂 … This is my loop replies php with the code in it, but I dont know if I put it in right because even though it shows, it does not appear in the same row as subscribe and favorites but rather a little above the row, and any css i added did not help.

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_replies_loop' ); ?>

<div id="topic-post-list" class="item-list" role="main">

<div class="forum-head-reply-tools">

 <a class="bbp-backto-forum" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>">Back to <?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a> <?php bbp_user_subscribe_link('before=&nbsp;'); ?> <?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?></div>
<div class="clear"></div>

<ul>
		<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div><!-- #topic-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>-replies -->

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop' ); ?>

Here is a picture of the row so you can see the new button is a little above the row

@robkk,

Thank you for that here is a little more info because i don’t understand where to place that code:

What I want to do is add a button ( which I will later style in my css) that will just take the user back to the forum (basically a button that is a breadcrumb).

I would place all the information here but bbpress reply box is not letting me for some reason. But you can read the information here where I placed it in the wrong section before I asked it here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-add-a-button-in-loops-replies-php-file/

Hi, no this does not work :

function role_show ($args) {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' )

This is a screen shot of that result :

This works for me :

function role_show () {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' )

BUT

It removes the avatar from showing and the “last post by” name, on the Forums topic post lists. How can I fix this ?
