So given forums 1, 2, 3 & 4
a. Not logged in user – should they see any forums or existenece of forums?
b. Logged in users – majority would have access to forums 1, 2 & 3 , but not know 4 esists
c. Chosen users – access to forums 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Your answer to a. is needed first
Sorry missd your follow up mail
Can you not set keymaster by
Dasboard>users>all usres and edit the one and put in te keymaster role
Come back if not
never write code whilst your other half is waiting to go out !
ok, this works
function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before'] = '' ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;
On your larger point, there are a lot of resources, but it takes a lot of practice to get good at PHP, and to understand how any plugin works which is the size that bbpress is.
Generally it is quicker to ask a question on here, than spend hours delving into bbpress. But if you start wanting to really tailor it, then the step by step guides and other documentation will try and get you into how to go about finding code within bbpress.
I know nothing of php 18months ago (I’m just a humble bbpress user – I didn’t write any of it!), and now have several plugins for bbpress to add functionality, so it is quire do-able.
I’ve tried to get much of my learning into the documentation, so have a look round

Previous response edited to correct
quick reply as I’m on my way out, so untested, but put the following in your functions file
function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before' ] = '' ;
Return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscription_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;
If it doesn’t work, come back and I’ll do it properly and test it for you !
The link comes up with page not found
I have added a note in the step by step guide part 3 which should help, but if you think it’s not clear or find anywhere else that’s confusing, then please let me know.
I always welcome suggested text – someone who has just worked it out always writes better explanations that someone who is already familiar ! so if you want to post suggested text or alterations here, please do and suggest where they should go.
Thanks again, we can only improve the documentation if we get good feedback like this:-)

This is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412
The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config
This is just information and should not affect its working
No problem, the spam catcher sometimes get too enthusiastic !
I will presume you’re now fixed, unless you come back
When you read the bbpress information when it comes to customizing templates php ect it says to create a bbpress folder
I’ll take another look to see if we can improve the wording.
‘bbpress’ templates do need to go into a bbpress folder, but creating a ‘theme’ template for bbpress needs to go in the theme root.
I think that what it says, but clearly it’s not that clear 🙂
Thanks for posting
ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8
the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.
Read this first for background
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
so try the following
1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme
As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
but either way keep a copy of it.
Come back if this isn’t clear
after trying some different settings
is not really very helpful.
what did you try ?
great – glad you’re fixed
Hey great, glad that you are fixed, an sort of see what he has changed (essentially the code was executing for a page which bbpress is and he’s essentially limited it to categories). Chances are that it won’t affect anything else.
I presume he will release this as a permanent fix at some stage, but in the meantime, keep a note of this change, in case it gets overwritten by a plugin update.
ok, so what is the slug in
dashboard>settings>forums forum root slug
forum root
?
so if you go into Dashboard do you see forums/topics/replies as items, and if so, can you see topics etc.
Beyond @netweb’s links above, what help do you need?
