In reply to: no title in content-single-reply.php
That wording is in form-reply – have you altered this?
In reply to: no title in content-single-reply.phpI think we’re going round in circles.
“The topic “title” is showing, it is “support”
The topic title shows above the breadcrumb, and yours resolves as
<h1 class=”entry-title”>Support</h1>
On my site this title is the topic (entry) title. so for example my site at the same point as your support title shows
<h1 class=”entry-title”>Feeding Oats.</h1>
where the topic is “Feeding Oats”
”Have you amended loop-single-reply?
In reply to: no title in content-single-reply.phpok, but replies don’t have a title in their own right, so the long version of the url which a user would get if they clicked on the reply is
Sorry if I am being stupid, but you would only get to your link if you have dashboard access.
In either event, what would you wish the url to look like?
In reply to: Do any of you allow users to upload photos?You’re welcome !
In reply to: no title in content-single-reply.phpSorry, there is a “title” within ‘content-single-reply.php’, so I had assumed that a topic called
‘no title in content-single-reply.php’ was referring to this 🙂The url is referring to the post number.
You set the format for this in permalinks
Dashboard>settings>permalinks and set it to ‘postname’
The name will then appear in the url
In reply to: move Username and IP to the right of the avatarok, thanks

In reply to: Settings not saving in admin for new fields addedI’d download the plugin bbp notify to your pc, and crack that open. That plugin adds stuff to dashboard>settings>forums, so see how that one does it.
In reply to: Login screen in forum is goneYou see on the settings page that some are bold, indicating that they exist. Is forums.php bold?
I’d set the forum root to forums, and see if that fixes it.
In reply to: Is it that hard? WP Theme Selection DropdownTrae, thanks for coming back – we all have bad days 🙂
‘As far as sucky themes go, it’s really just my observation. I’m not trying to be cruel. I haven’t seen a truly amazing bbPress theme implementation that makes me go.. “HOLY COW, THIS IS AWESOME.” ‘
Just out of interest, can you let me have a url of a forum (any make!) that does make you go ‘holy cow’ or even “that looks nice” – I’m interested in what bbpress is missing.
In reply to: Login screen in forum is goneok, are you using bbpress wp tweaks?
And in Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug what is the forum root set to?
In reply to: Login screen in forum is gonecan you post a link to your url so that we can see?
In reply to: Settings not saving in admin for new fields addedI’m a bit of a newbie to this area, having just created my first settings page, so of this is irrelevant, please ignore !
The following talks about needing to register
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_API
eg “NOTE: You MUST register any options you use with add_settings_field() or they won’t be saved and updated automatically. ” – which seems to describe your problem
and
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_setting
That may not be necessary as you’re adding it as a filter??
anyway my code cribbed from elsewhere looked like
// register the plugin settings function ui_register_settings() { // create whitelist of options register_setting( 'ui_settings_group', 'ui_settings' ); } //call register settings function add_action( 'admin_init', 'ui_register_settings' );where ui_settings was my array.
In reply to: BBPress is not showing up on dashboardCheck that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
In reply to: move Username and IP to the right of the avatarGreat, glad you’re sorted.
If you’ve fixed it, would you like to post what you did here, it might help someone searching for a similar fix going forward 🙂
In reply to: move Username and IP to the right of the avatarYou’ll be needing to modify
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php
more spam
No problem !
In reply to: Removing "Started by:"great – glad you’re fixed
In reply to: Links and avatars moves to right sideGreat – glad you’re fixed
In reply to: Is it that hard? WP Theme Selection Dropdown“I’ll read the link you posted. Hopefully it doesn’t suck.”
I wrote it, and hopefully you give me some positive feedback if you feel it can be improved. By the way I don’t consider “it sucks” to be positive feedback 🙂
In fact if you worked you way through the documentation, you’d probably gain a lot of knowledge.
“Easy of me to throw stones in a glass house when I don’t code I guess. ” Yes, basically you are taking something that people have written in their spare time, don’t get a penny for, and that you are using it for free, and you want the people who developed it to abandon taking their kids out for the afternoon (or in fact many afternoons) and write code so that you don’t have to. And then you come on this site where people like me who again do this in my spare time for free, and have lots of other things I could be doing, and slagging it off. 🙂
There is a lot of development of this plugin going on all the time and it will keep improving.
“And, I have yet to see a non-sucky bbPress based forum. Most are fairly crappy in how they present and deal with the content. ” – now you just resorting to insult.
A community (like the open source community) requires contributors as well as takers
If you want to contribute to the development of the plugin, please let us know exactly what you would like to see, and how you think it would benefit other users.Oh and yes, I think you are now starting to sound like a troll !
Best Wishes

In reply to: Is it that hard? WP Theme Selection DropdownbbPress by default tries to use your themes default templates as it’s base. So it is already using your theme’s page template, maybe not the particular one you’re after, but it will be for your theme, or one you have created.
It will look for the following files in your theme in this order, and use that for it’s forums
plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php
generic.php
page.php
single.php
index.phpSee https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ for more detail and how to get it to use a particular template.
Since some theme writers create a bbpress template, and some have variously named page templates, it would be kinder hard to get bbpress to work out which of your themes files are page templates, and which you want to use.
Yes, getting the right template to display forums can involve you in renaming and moving some files, but that’s because you have decided to use a non-default theme (no criticism), and so your theme writer and the writers of bbpress would need to be telepathic to know how the other one is going to code. As I said some themes actively allow for bbpress, for others it is just one of thousand of plugins.
The plugin bbPress Tweaks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/
In dashboard>settings>bbpress tweaks allows you to select from available templates as a dropdown, so partly achieves what you are after.
I fully appreciate that WordPress and plugins can cause a lot of frustration, and no you’re definitely not a troll (yet!), but less heaven and hell in your posts would be better!
In reply to: Pagination not working (not plugin conflict)glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Each Forum to Have its Own Admin EmailLaurie,
Would need some code to do this
If you’re into coding, suggest you download
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/
and crack open the code
It should give you a good idea on how to create your own code.
if not try putting it on wp-jobs
and see if someone will pick it up for you
In reply to: Freshness Date FormatStephen,
Is there a quick and easy way to amend the headings other than amending the template?
eg loop-topics.php has
<ul class="forum-titles"> ... ... <li class="bbp-topic-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li> </ul>
