Hello Robin,

Thank you for the help you offer.

I tried the code in the child theme’s function file and it works fine to re-order the replies… BUT I have 3 issues :
– The link given in the recent activity widget leads to the last page of the topic… now being the beginning, so not the last reply
– Same problem for the link in the email notification
– and when we post a reply, the page refresh leads to the beginning of the topic too so you don’t see you answer published unless you click on the right page number or scroll back to the top.
These 3 situations imply too much confusion for the users so I choose to not use the code but don’t find another solution.

I’m surprised no plugin exists for this ( part from “bbPress – Sort topic replies ” which is not maintained so I didn’t try it worried to get security problems).

Do you think of a way to fit the issues generated with the descending order or do you consider it is too much of “torsion” of the system ?

Thanks again.
Sophie

Thank you Mark for your answer.
I’ve downloaded the Read More by Edmon plugin but I’m not sure this can be the answer. If you used it yourself for a forum, do you know how I could manage to display automatically the button “read more” after a certain amount of characters in a response ?
Thanx

Oh boy, I just read my message agin and I’m so confused ! Sorry, I didn’t give you the right info… The initial message was supposed to say :

Is there a simple way to HIDE it for the [bbp-topic-form]

And answer to you second message is the other way round :

DISPLAY (the breadcrumb) for the [bbp-topic-index]
HIDE IT for the [bbp-topic-form] that is called underneath

so sorry again…

Thank you Robin for helping me,

The procedure is all clear but unfortunately the breadcrumb is still displayed above the [bbp-topic-form].
Maybe that’s because the site is also using the WOffice plugin (some code there that would pass over the content-archive-forum.php ?)

I just thought of another solution, more wobbly maybe :
I can see in the code source that this div is called <div class ="bbp-breadcrumb"> meaning that if I create a .bbp-breadcrumb in my CSS file, I can add a display:none; and could hide it ?

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

That’s right !

OR maybe it’s as easy to add something for the forum root page : I have recently chosen (in the backoffice) to display the topics instead by publication date (on the root page) instead of the index forum thematics, but now members don’t find how to open a new topic !

(hope my explanation is clear ! ;-))

Hello,
I’m looking for the same customization as @spicynodes 8 years ago !
I have created a page with 2 shortcodes :
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-topic-form]

But the breadcrumb displays twice, above each one.
Is there a simple way to display it for the [bbp-topic-form] or do I necessarily need to do something in the function page (I’d prefer not too !)

Thanks for your help !

Hi,
I have a similar issue (Version 2.6.3, no subform displayed on the forum page) but one interesting difference :
One of the parent category forum is displayed as wished with the subforums underneath.
The difference I see with the other categories is that the others have a description text and not this one. Do you think this could be a reason ?

Hi,
Yes, I have the exact same problem but no answer found yet 🙁
