I am very unclear as to what you are trying to achieve.
if you want one forum say forum id 12345 to display differently, then just amend content-single-forum to
<?php
$forum_id = bbp_forum_id() ;
if $forum_id = '12345' {
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
else {
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
and change whichever display you want
Hi @robin-w,
thanks for your reply!
I managed to reproduce my problem:
I created a WordPress instance on wptaste.com, reinstalled the essential bbpress plugins as well as Elementor Pro and Astra Pro, trying to redo my settings by hand, the error did not reproduce , I then exported my settings from the original site to re-import them into the test site and there I got the error.
So I set out to reset my settings in Astra Pro and then redo them by hand, and now everything is back to normal.
I didn’t understand what it was, but I was able to isolate it and find a solution that didn’t take your time.
Thanks for putting me on the trail!
Best regards,

you could try method 2 in this
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
it might work, it might not 🙂
method 2 is picking up on the page template file in your theme, this is theme dependant.
If you can give us a link to a live example of method 1, and a non bbpress page in your site that has borders, I’ll try and help further.
Hi there 👋
I followed this step by step guide
👉 https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page
And I’m annoyed with one quirk that I can’t seem to resolve: My borders aren’t showing!
With method # 1 my borders disappear and with method # 2 everything is normal.
How can I fix this please?
My regards,
Ludovic
Hi,
I just did something similar for Rank Math SEO plugin:
/**
* Sets bbPress user profile pages to noindex
*
* @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
if (!bbp_is_single_user_profile()) {
return $robots;
}
unset( $robots['index']);
$robots['noindex'] = 'noindex';
return $robots;
});
Cheers
This whilst old still works well
bbPress – Moderation Tools
I have the same question. I am using bbPress as an integration with Profile Builder Pro. Has this question been answered yet?
ok, the line
echo esc_html__( 'You must be logged in to create new topics.', 'bbpress' ) . ' <a href="' . esc_url( thim_get_login_page_url() ) . '">' . esc_html__( 'Login here', 'bbpress' ) . '</a>';
is doing the Login Here
This line chooses the location from a setting in your theme thim_get_login_page_url()
so I suspect it is as simple as changing that setting to the page you want it to say, so look at your theme settings
If that doesn’t work, come back

can you have a look at your parent theme to see if it has a folder ‘bbpress’ with form-topic.php
in it
Hi Robin!
Thanks for your quick reply and assistance. But there’s only one major challenge (at least to me) I am currently facing, which I’ll describe below:
Re: — “Then amend this file to take out the current form and put in a link”
I get the “what” to-do part (i.e. amending file…, creating a folder in my child theme, etc) but as for the “how?”, I have absolutely no idea. In all humility, I make no pretense of familiarity with php syntax or anything php code-related.
I see the <form>….</form> tags in my file below, should I remove it all and place https://mydomain.com/login?
<?php
/**
* User Login Form
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php bbp_wp_login_action( array( 'context' => 'login_post' ) ); ?>" class="bbp-login-form">
<fieldset class="bbp-form">
<legend><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></legend>
<div class="bbp-username">
<label for="user_login"><?php esc_html_e( 'Username', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
<input type="text" name="log" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_login', 'text' ); ?>" size="20" maxlength="100" id="user_login" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="bbp-password">
<label for="user_pass"><?php esc_html_e( 'Password', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
<input type="password" name="pwd" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_pass', 'password' ); ?>" size="20" id="user_pass" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="bbp-remember-me">
<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="forever" <?php checked( bbp_get_sanitize_val( 'rememberme', 'checkbox' ) ); ?> id="rememberme" />
<label for="rememberme"><?php esc_html_e( 'Keep me signed in', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
</div>
<?php do_action( 'login_form' ); ?>
<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">
<button type="submit" name="user-submit" id="user-submit" class="button submit user-submit"><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>
<?php bbp_user_login_fields(); ?>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
My question is and where do I amend this form-user-login.php file with my login url https://mydomain.com/login/?
If given a blueprint, I can certainly reproduce the steps faithfully when dealing with a similar issue
Can you (or anyone willing) please pinpoint the parts/lines to modify with the url? Thanks so much in advance.
Thanks, Robin
I set up bbPress on my other site, which runs the Karuna theme (https://www.in2itmusic.net/forums/topic/taize-or-celebration/), and it shows up correctly. It seems that something in the Native Church theme is causing the issue. I’ll contact their support.
Thanks again for looking into this!
Chris
I took a look at this, but cannot see what is causing the issue
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
login here came with 2.6.x
bbpress has a template in
\templates\default\bbpress\form-user-login.php
you can change this to have a click link to any url you wish
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-login.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then amend this file to take out the current form and put in a link
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-login.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Hello Bbpress-ers!
I read somewhere in the forum that having a certain/recent version enabled a login form to appear rather than the “Login Here” url for forum guests.
I have Bbpress Version 2.6.6 and I see the “Login Here” displayed. My question is “Is this normal for the BBpress version I have”?
Screenshot
Login Here instead of Form
Assuming a login url is displayed, my question then is, how can i change the login url? The one listed right now isn’t the one I want. Is there a file I can modify and place in my childtheme?
Can you please assist me with it? Assuming the new login url I want is https://mydomain.com/custom_login_url/, how would you actually insert it in the php file you’ll show me above to replace the existing url? Thanks so much in advance.

My topic thread content does not show up to the right of the author’s avatar, but underneath and to the right. Is there any way to display them side by side – it looks like that is what it’s supposed to do.
Hello Regnalf,
I’m happy to report that your fix worked. I had to apply the new class to all the previous CSS code, but it did the trick!!!
This is truly got the time to appreciate firsthand php notions such hook and filters, etc and see them at work. It was neat to be able to fine-tune the bbpress-index class vs bbpress and target one vs all parts of the site. I’m grateful.
Pushing my luck a bit further and modeling your code above and another post I saw elsewhere, I was hoping to get a bit more granular in the way I applied my css to parts of the forum, so I tried this bit of code below to target individual topic pages (or replies?)
but it didn’t work. If it’s not too much to ask, whenever it’s convenient for you or anyone, could you tell me if this code below somewhat does what you just provided me.
function my_topic_class($classes) {
$classes[] = 'herman-topic-class';
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','my_topic_class' );
Nowhere, when viewing the topic page or thread did I see the new class ‘herman-topic-class’ in the Inspect Element utility. With your code, the bbpress and bbpress-index appeared.
thanks in advance for all the support.
H
I don’t know how you excactly you want to style the forum index page, but i found out that the index page doesn’t have the bbpress class included in the body tag like the sub pages. So i had the problem too that i couldn’t style the index page.
Here is my code i use to add this class, and others, to the body tag for the index page. Then you can style the index page with css.
add_filter( 'body_class', 'bbpress_add_body_class' );
function bbpress_add_body_class( $classes )
{
global $wp;
$bbpress_index = get_option ('_bbp_root_slug');
$bbpress_search = get_option ('_bbp_search_slug');
if (strpos($wp->request, $bbpress_index) !== false)
{
$classes[] = "bbpress";
}
if ($wp->request == $bbpress_index)
{
$classes[] = "bbpress-index";
}
if (strpos($wp->request, $bbpress_index . "/" . $bbpress_search) !== false)
{
$classes[] = "bbpress-search";
}
return $classes;
}
Hi Robin,
Thanks as always for your assistance.
Starting with the last question, I have BuddyPress installed but not activated…
As for the slug, I’ve now ditched the underscore thing and went with /lab for the shortcode page, and in settings, /forums for the root and /forum for the forum. My permalinks are back to %postname%. This current setting guarantees that all my styles are displayed properly when accessing the page with the bbp-forum-index shortcode.
If I visit the /lab page, it’s all good until I clicked on a specific forum. Then the /lab is lost to acquire /forums (declared the settings) and thus display a 404 error page since there’s no page with that /forums/forum/topic, etc.
When I switch to having the shortcode page slug and settings slug be the same, no 404 error message, but all customizations vanish.
I’ve read some other post talking of templates not being properly referenced and honestly, so I created a bbpress folder in my childtheme. Since I’m not sure which templates/file to copy inside the newly-created BBPRESS there, I tried copying all php files included in the default template folder inside the BBPress plugin, and it didn’t go to well, so I removed them.
Still not sure where else to look. 🙁
I appreciate other pointers you or other bbpress-ers might have.
Best,
H
Hi, i want to add bbpress. The question is:
How do i mark a question as “solved”?
https://planetadoamor.com
Hi, I just updated my site which was 7 years old and had bbpress1. The Forums and Topics have migrated ok but none of the posts are attributed to a poster. In all cases, including Admin, poster=Anonymous.However the poster IDs are showing in database tables wp_bb_posts and wp_bb_topics. I can’t see how to fix this. Any ideas?
I just realized that being able to set all the posts in a topic to be moderated would also be an acceptable solution. But the two moderation plugins I have found don’t give this functionality.
These are the two I checked:
bbPress – Moderation Tools
bbPress Moderation
Does anyone know of a plugin that might help from this angle?
Is there a way to disable the “Duplicate reply detected” error checking? My forum will mostly be people uploading audio attachments and they may very well just say the same thing each time they post. But in the short term it’s a bother to my testers since they can’t just write “test” each time.
I know that the error code is in \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php
I’m guessing there is some way to filter the bbp_check_for_duplicate function, but I don’t know enough php to do that.
I’ve seen some others post this question in the past but didn’t see answers.
(BTW, I posted this question a few hours ago but it got marked as spam. Not sure why. I included some code in it but have removed it in this one. Hope it’s ok to repost.)
