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/content-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/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so change line 26 from
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
to
<?php if (bbp_get_single_forum_description != 'This forum is empty.') bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
This is not as easy as I thought.
As a widget it can be shortcoded, but the version I currently have does need to do the calculation each time, which on a site with lots of forums and users could make the site slow.
Whereabouts on the site were you thinking of – eg in sidebar, at top of each forum, within the forum list etc.
hmm…
not sure what to suggest next.
I could code a quick ‘close topic’ shortcode, but that would be beyond free – contact me via my website if interested

bis bold
I is italic
B-quote puts a wordpress block around the text – exactly what is set by your theme
Del – is delete quotes
img is an image
ul is an unordered list
ol is an ordered list
li is a list item
code is code – stops the display from executing, just displays it
close tags – closes all open tags
ok, thanks glad it is working for you
bbpress doesn’t override permissions, and works fine on several hundred thousand sites. Sever or webpage cache is the almost certainly the culprit – why it was affecting you we will never know.
Once they are logged in they go back to the forum.
went back to the forum
sorry to keep asking , but I keep asking because I cannot fix the issue without knowing PRECISELY what someone is doing.
what does ‘go back’ mean – if it is just hitting the browser back button, then that will always show what was there before. If they are clicking areas on the site, I need to know precisely what areas. ie after creating an account, they log in USING WHAT, and then press WHAT THINGS
that should work, but the code is not showing up in the browser, so it is not getting loaded.
since you have a paid theme, it would be good to raise this with them
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>not working?
where are you putting this code ?
this plugin will help you style the forum pages
bbp style pack
don’t know what is happening
I’ve just looked at the core close topic code, and it just changes post_status to closed, although it goes via a whole bunch of code in a topic hander function which I haven’t been through line by line.
Suggest you try just changing the status directly in the db, and see if that fixes. You can always change it back !
hmm – I can’t see anything obvious here, the fact that sticky topic is 0 says that it is not sticky.
In any case you can just delete a sticky topic, so that shouldn’t stop it.
However since I cannot see why there should be 4 entries, then try just deleting the sticky topic entries in postmeta and try and close again.
If not come back and I’ll take a look at what the bbpres close function does tomorrow
no that’s as good amount of information
for one of these topics that won’t close, can you give us the full post and postmeta entries. (you can blank any sensitive content)
depend what you men by ‘back’ if you mean your browsers back button, then this will simply return to the previous screen.
@brent0r – that would be great – all for having lots of options
try
input[type=”text”] {
width: 50% !important;
}
.bbp-login-form .bbp-password input {
width: 50% !important;
}
Put this in your custom css area
input[type=”text”] {
width: 50%;
}
.bbp-login-form .bbp-password input {
width: 50%;
}
I’d need a link to the actual site to tell you how to fix this
if you have a child theme, and are happy with ftp, I can give you a revised template
having a button at the top which goes to the form at the bottom can be achieved by
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons
Having the from hidden is quite possible, but I don’t know of any already written code to do that
yes, I frequently have multiple users on different browsers on my one PC when I am testing
great
than add this
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function rew_change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum is empty.' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_translate_text', 20 );
Instead of ‘This forum is empty.’ you will get ‘new text’, so just change new text to what you want
eg change the line
$translated_text = 'new text';
to
$translated_text = 'Categories listed below';
– if you want it blank then have that line say
$translated_text = '';
