It’s like using the shortcode

, or is it using the shortcode [bbp-search] ??

[Robin W]

are you also using buddypress?
and what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[Robin W]

forums belong to categories

[Robin W]

great – glad you are fixed

[Robin W]

So you can either

Create ‘operating systems’ as a category, and have Windows, Linux, Apple, Android etc. as forums belonging to this parent category

or

Create ‘operating systems’ as a forum, and have Windows, Linux, Apple, Android etc. as forums belonging to this parent forum.

The first of you don’t want topics in the parent forum, the 2nd if you do

You set the ‘type’ in dashboard>forums>edit forum and on the right hand side you will see ‘forum atributes’ wity type within that and parent forum underneath

[Robin W]

yes that looks like a good solution !

[Robin W]

If you just want to remove it from the list then you could amend loop-single-forum.php

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

change it to (assuming 40250 is the fiorum id)

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

if ( !bbp_get_forum_id() == '40250')) {
?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

	<li class="bbp-forum-info">

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() && bbp_is_subscriptions() ) : ?>

			<span class="bbp-row-actions">

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

				<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link( array( 'before' => '', 'subscribe' => '+', 'unsubscribe' => '&times;' ) ); ?>

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

			</span>

		<?php endif; ?>

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

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

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

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

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

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

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

		<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

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

		<?php bbp_forum_row_actions(); ?>

	</li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

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

		<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>

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

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

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

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

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

		</p>
	</li>

</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

<?php } ?>

Not tested but should work, if not then might be another bbpress plugin overwriting the template – come back

[Robin W]

ok, the code does not allow for pagnination if you have nested replies allowed in the forum settings.

That is just the way the code is written, I am not an author of the code.

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

add_filter( 'bbp_get_replies_per_page', 'rew_replies');

function rew_replies () {
$replies = 5 ;
return $replies ;
}

[Robin W]

hmm… not sure what to suggest next

[Robin W]

I would suggest you reverse the order for answers, as pagination will not solve it.

This may work

bbPress – Sort topic replies

[Robin W]

you want sub 10 hour response on a sunday ?????

[Robin W]

enable bbpress

then

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

Then decativate and delete bbpress and any dependent plugind

[Robin W]

sorry, that is usually theme specific, so beyond help here

[Robin W]

so did you load this as a plugin eg

Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’
Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.
then in worpress go to
Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.

[Robin W]

great – glad you are fixed

[Robin W]

This plugin seems to do that and claims bbpress support

I have not tried it, so please come back and let us know if it works

Highlight Search Terms

[Robin W]

great – thanks for letting us know

[Robin W]

which version of bbpress are you using ?

[Robin W]

there is a fuction

bbp_delete_topic function that you can substitute which I have not tested

[Robin W]

this will close topics with no activity in the last 10 days

I appreciate that generic words on setting up do not always cut it, but the guide is just that a guide, not intended to be definitive in all cases.

Given that I have neither a link to your current site or a real idea of what you are after, it is hard to help.

Maybe a link to your current site would help my unedrstanding

[Robin W]

that’s a category and forums underneath

[Robin W]

hmm… those capabilities should allow this to happen.

I’d suspect that these are not being added – how are you doing this?
