No it should be clickable.
It may well be your receiving email system is turning this into plaintext.
It may be wroth seeing if other users have the same problem
It should be displaying nickname and type of user as per your second example by default – have you now fixed this, or do you still have the problem?
Certainly works in the template both in childtheme and if you do it in the original location – just tested the latter.
It could be that either I’ve not explained well enough or or we’re talking about a different “Forum” position.
The change you make should be from :
<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
to
<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Elephant', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
if you want it to say Elephant.
If that is not the issue, can you confirm that it is the “forum” in the top left of this example that you’re talking about

Great, glad you’re fixed !
If you’re reasonable at php, download a plugin I wrote for adding town and county to bbpress, and crack this open.
bbPress town and county plugin
It has the code to add two fields (town and county) to profile, which displays under the avatar on topics and replies. But you can alter and use this code to add any fields the users profile so that they can edit and update.
There are probably much cleverer ways to do this but find the following file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
On line 19 you’ll find the following
<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
change the ‘Forum’ to whatever you want it to read.
If you just change it in this location, it will be overwritten each time bbpress updates.
What you really need to do is to put it into your theme – see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3
item 3 for how to do this, and part 2 of the guide (go to the codex home for this) discusses how to set up a child theme
create new is at the bottom of a forum page – not always that obvious
I created a page titled “add new topic” with the content of
[bbp-topic-form]
– the shortcode for creating a topic.
I then use a text widget in the sidebar with the content of
<a href="/add-new-topic/">Create a new topic</a>
the “/add-new-topic/” is the permalink to the page.
Great, glad you’re fixed !
Great, glad you’re fixed !
Greta, thanks, and let us know what buddypress says !
Suspect you have a conflict somewhere. bbpress and buddypress will work, so it is something else.
Suggest you start by disabling all your plugins, and switching to a default theme. Add bbpress, buddypress and test that works (it should). Then add woocommerce, again it should work. Then switch to your normal theme, and test again. If that all works, then add back the other plugins one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Suspect that not a lot of bbpress people will have done this, and probably none that view this forum.
Basically you just need your form to save the relevant bits to the database as a forum entry.
I’d start by looking at how an entry is stored in the database, and then get your form to do this for you.
Great, glad it all worked !
If you’re not using a child theme, then any theme upgrade may overwrite your functions file, so keep a note of the final code you used, as you may need to add it back.
Yes, No particular point that you should insert it – I’d put it at the end.
Ok, I cracked that code open, and think that putting in the following will work
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'assylumn_insert_thumbnail' );
function assylumn_insert_thumbnail() {
echo('<a href="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg">') ;
echo('<img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail" width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg"/>' .'</a>');
}
Obviously you’ll need to change the URL to your image
You’ll need to add this to your functions file, if you don’t know how to do this, come back !
which plugin are you referring to? That would be a good starter
This plugin might let you change the words
EDIT: Robin, I removed the code you posted as it was not really what was needed, check the plugin below. Cheers, Stephen
Great to hear you’re fixed !
can you see “forums” in the dashboard?
Could be theme or plugin conflict.
Try switching to a default theme (such as twenty twelve) to see if problems remains.
Then try disabling all you plugins, and if that fixes, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue
Try using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
I haven’t used it myself, but others have with success
Markic,
Thanks for posting these – I’ve added them to the codex documentation at
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
as items 6 & 7
