Check in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php
bbPress employs some “theme compatibility” magic to insert itself into your existing WordPress theme, and that directory is where those template parts live to try and fill in the gaps
Thanks to JJJ’s excellent plugin, I can now do what the basic bbPress said it would do, so that ‘spectators’ can read but not post to private forums. However, is there any way that I can set this as the default option, so that I don’t have to carefully edit the permission on every single user who subscribes?
Thanks

Hi,
I have bbpress installed on a multisite (network activated) but for some reason the CSS and JS is not being linked to properly. When looking for them the site is looking in http://roobla.com/var/sites/etc/etc/etc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js and /css/bbpress.css.
You can visit any page on my website (roobla.com) to see the JS like this in practice. I had to deregister and reregister the CSS but I’d prefer to not have to.
The network’s primary domain is cultiplex.com and Roobla is a subdomain.
Can anyone shed any light on what could be causing this, please?
Thank you for your help,
Sam
I’ve been searching, and there seems to be no solution for creating a unique topic icon for each individual forum (i.e – to be displayed to the left of each forum title/description). There is a plugin which pulls the image from the first topic, but that want work for many such as myself.
I’m no coder by any means, but my idea was to insert some simple php (if statement) in the template file, maybe right after “bbp-forum-info” in loop-forums.php
Something such as this:
<?php
global $post;
if ( is_single('17', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic1"></div>';
} elseif ( is_single('19', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic2"></div>';
} elseif ( is_single('18', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic3"></div>';
} else {
echo '<div class="forum_pic_default"></div>';
}
?>
The topic numbers would equal the forum topics. This would allow a unique topic icon to be shown for each unique forum. The “forum_pic” divs could be used to display a background image or even a font-awesome font (using css background property).
Anyone have any suggestions for this? Will the idea (with proper code) work? Anybody with some php under their belt willing to take a shot?
Or, is there another completely different method to accomplish this, which is easier?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks for the reply!
The duplicate text I’m talking about that I want to remove is the bbpress default post count text (which counts posts in a specific topic). I only want it to show the text from bbp topic count.
An example can be seen at: http://flyfisherscorner.com/topic/lets-get-the-conversation-going-where-are-you-from/
I want to remove the “Post Count: 1” generated by default and keep the “Total Posts: #”
Thanks again!
are you expecting an advanced search that would be similar to goole
like say i search this
shark + attack – sharkweek ??
you might need to use a search plugin to make the default search more advanced if you want it that way.
if your talking about the category layout that default phpbb usually has.
Then use this file
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
download the zip.
take the loop-forums.php file and put it into your child theme in a folder called bbpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
also has a file like this but i think you have to manually install this too.
bbpress user profiles are like this usually , example.com/forums/profile/name
i think you are using BuddyPress hence the default members slug.
you should contact them on figuring out how to change them.
https://buddypress.org/support/
notifications section sounds like BuddyPress too, so follow that link and contact them.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
1. sorry I don’t understand what you mean by ‘site wide forums’ – by default forums are site wide. Can you come back and explain a bit more
2. The plugin adds exactly that to the bbpress profile. It doesn’t to the toolbar profile, which is possibly what you mean. Toolbars are really for admins, they detract from the site theme.

bbpress has a quirk (or it’s simply the way it works), where if you have no bbpress role, on login it gives you the default one.
I know nothing of multisite, but maybe Simplest way is to change your bbpress role to blocked?

Hello,
I’m currently running Robin’s plugin to display total posts by user. However, below each avatar I now have “Post Count:” and “Total Posts:”
I’ve messed around in the loop-single-forums file, but don’t want to break the plugin as I believe this is the file that Robin’s plugin calls to work correctly.
I’m sure it’s simple, but I just can’t figure it out / don’t want to mess something up.
My forums can be viewed at http://flyfisherscorner.com/forums
Also, as a follow up: maybe a newbie question, but how can I make sure that the eventual changes won’t be lost on updates? Just put the altered file into a bbPress folder in my child theme, or do I need to create all the folders to give it the same “path” as the file has in the main wp-content folder?
In other words, if I put the edited file into my child theme, can I just stick it directly into a bbPress folder, or do I need to create folders in there to mimic the directory path (e.g. bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php)?
Thanks a million!!
no sorry – I can see nothing wrong with the code – it seems fine, so don’ know why it is doing this.
as long as you have tried

which you say you have, then can you list all the forum settings in dashboard>settings> forums in case there’s something in there.
The default WordPress Import/Export tools.
WordPress 3.5.2 (export/old site) -> WordPress 4.1.1 (import/new site)
They’re both running the latest version of bbPress. Is there another tool handy I can utilize?
I need this feature as well. And no, it does not do this by default. Topics will display the most recent activity, but you can’t click the ‘Freshness’ text/link to have it SORT.
I have been looking everywhere for this answer, but all the topics found relate back 2-5 years and for the past 3 days I have been struggling to figure the following problem out:
I have a network of 4 sites. I am using buddyPress on 2 of them and there are predefined groups. Each group has 15 members and each group has its own private forum (discussion board). I have tried integrating buddyPress with bbPress, which seems to work perfectly up until I have figured out the following: when accessing the Group 1 on site1 I can see the forum assigned to the group, but however when I go to site2 and access the same group from there, it says: there is no forum assigned to this group”.
In my admin panel I can see the forum on only the site I have created it on (site1), but not on others. I want to know if it is possible to make forums shared across sites and make the users of the same group have the ability to access the same forum from both site1 and site2.
I have tried resolving these problems with different themes (default ones) but not luck. My groups are definitely shared across all sites, as I am able to see all the assigned members from any given site (site1, site2, site3, site4).
Any help would be much appreciated !
ok, you should not change the default bbpress.css as this gets trashed by upgrades
you should put the bbpress.css file into your theme, and preferably a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will delete it.
See
functions-files-and-child-themes-explained
you could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
which may well do all that you want, and isn’t lost when bbpress or themes are upgraded
The first time, I went step by step through the bbpress.css file and made my styling changes. The first time lasted about two-three weeks and an upgrade trashed the changes by overwriting the file with the default.
The second time I installed bbPress on my local development site, went through and made my changes. I then uploaded the file to the live server. To my knowledge it has not been upgraded but a couple of weeks in and the install reverts to it’s default. A quick scan of the bbpress.css shows none of the changes I made.
ok, the back to discussions link is being put in either by your theme or by a plugin (maybe buddypress)

Then come back
Finally after the second time of spending hours styling the forums on my site, I saved a copy of the CSS but I don’t have access as I write this. I replace the CSS and everything is good and then in a couple of weeks, the CSS is overwritten to defaults.
What can I do to keep from having this happen over and over again?
