Hi Johan, goede avond,
I suppose you can copy the content-single-forum.php to your own child theme and modify it accordingly.

Customizing a bbPress theme will take a good amount of time to mimic the look and functionality of Xenforo. IF you want simple style changes, use Robin’s plugin, if you want more of the functionality of the forum, I suggest you hire a developer to create something for you.
@elovkoff
You do not have to create a child theme just for custom code snippets, you can also use a custom plugin, this plugin below will give you an area to add custom php code snippets.

I still rather suggest you just stick with an inline image upload plugin instead of gd bbPress attachments(unless you are using pro), instead of removing the error notice and allowing empty replies.
Hey, my name is Johan.
I just wondering how to put the postbox on top of the forum, because we have reverse forum that you se the latest post first and not last.
So i want to have the post box on top. is this possible?
Where/or how do i fix that?
I use bbPress 2.5.8 version.
Thanks in advance!
/ Johan
BINGO! So my local SVN repository didn’t have the files added to its database, even though I could see the files in the folder on the Mac.
Now enjoy the images and such:

Hi Pascal,
Thanks, updating the wordpress profile is not a problem I can do that.
However using the code from bbPress profile such as:
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_profile' ); ?>
<div id="bbp-user-profile" class="bbp-user-profile">
<h1>View Users Trading Profile Here <?php get_the_author_id(); ?></h1>
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></h2>
<div class="bbp-user-section">
<?php if ( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'description' ) ) : ?>
<p class="bbp-user-description"><?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'description' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<p class="bbp-user-forum-role"><?php printf( __( 'Role: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_display_role() ); ?></p>
<p class="bbp-user-topic-count"><?php printf( __( 'Topics Started: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw() ); ?></p>
<p class="bbp-user-reply-count"><?php printf( __( 'Replies Created: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw() ); ?></p>
</div>
</div><!-- #bbp-author-topics-started -->
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile' ); ?>
added to my author.php doesn’t work.
I presume its because its not tied to the bbPress ‘user’ profile?
I’m afraid I won’t be able to help with that because you try to change the WordPress profile, and my knowledge is limited to bbPress profiles…
@casiepa thanks for trying to help. I’ve renamed README.txt to readme.txt. I DID have structure under tags. So I fixed the stable tag to 1.0.1 in readme.txt and redid the update.
The only thing that updated is readme.txt. No images uploaded to anywhere and tags did not upload either. More help/suggestions welcomed.
Here’s the current structure.

Hey guys.
I’ve tried searching about this but not really been able to find a definitive answer, especially for my own situation.
I currently have a live site, where users NEED to use WordPress default domain.com/author/username
Currently when you go to the profile of a poster in the bbPress forum it takes you to a different user page domain.com/user/username
I need this to direct to domain.com/author/username as the default WordPress profile contains information about the user (feedback ratings, post details + more – its a classified site).
Now I’m not 100% fussed on whether the domain.com/author/username page displays post details, as the ‘forum’ I’ve having is a single forum and more like a general chat area of the site. I’m not looking to setup a fully fledged forum.
However the most important thing is having their profiles direct to their author page instead of their bbPress user page.
If there is code I can place in the author.php file (WordPress one) that will check their bbPress details regarding their posts, that would be great. I’ve tried copying the code from bbPress user-profile.php but that didn’t work.
Can any one offer any assistance? I’d deeply appreciate it.
Thanks
bbPress: Version 2.5.8
WordPress: Version 4.4.2
Website: http://www.airsofttrader.co.nz (You can see the example of author pages, however bbPress is not installed on the live site – its installed locally.)
For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.
If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.
Sup guys,
im currently working on a WordPress based Gaming-Theme and want to change a few of BBpress Templates.
Unfortunatly bbpress dont like the take the changes and always falls back to the default ones.
My Theme folder looks like this:
%mythemename%/bbpress/%template_files_here%
but everything i change here wont update…
So, im a doing something wrong with the bbpress folder there or is it just my dumbness ?
DLParticipant
OK if I could delete the last two posts I would.
After struggling with doing this on XAMPP I gave up and set up a new test on a live server and it worked! (with some issues)
https://github.com/damon18/dizkus-bbpress/issues/4
Yeah you do not need to run both plugins at the same time. I meant just use one instead of the other.
This php snippet will allow empty posts which is kind of not a good idea. Also I cannot seem to find the code in the bbPRess plugin responsibe for the no redirect to post after submit after using using this code.
function rkk_remove_content_error_check( $reply_content ) {
if ( !empty( $_POST['bbp_reply_content'] ) && empty( $_POST['bbp_reply_content'] ) )
$reply_content = $_POST['bbp_reply_content'];
}
add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rkk_remove_content_error_check' );
@mimbelli Here is the list of plugins, these could be about 7 plugins in total if you want to do the free route, or 4 plugins in total if you only want to use BuddyPress and GD bbPress toolbox (paid plugin)
User signature, hot/new/sticky topics (labels/icons??), post count and join date, visual preview could be possible using a small piece of custom code and using bbPress hooks to display them.
Below is the structure of my local repository. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Thanks Rob, but I can’t do it for the simple reason I have to explain to users and place the message on the page that says ‘if regular upload doesn’t work, please use the inline one’.
Ideally just need to know how to lift the restrictions so I would be able to click on the upload button and upload the image even if there is no text in the bbpress text field.
Thanks.
Elijah.
@elovkoff
Use an inline image uploader, so at least the html of the image would be present in the post content box. GD bbPress attachments may have something for inline image uploading, but I think in the pro version.
This plugin is a good and simple inline image uploading plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/
Here is some CSS that could do the same thing. Add the css styles to your child theme style css or insert the code in a plugin that can hold custom css styles.
.bbpress .header-holder,
.page-template-bbpress .header-holder {
display: none;
}
Ultimate member has a paid extension for integration between the two plugins.

Hello,
I am starting a new thread because all the searches I found come up 1-5 years old and I do not trust some of the code when I do not know how to read it very well.
I would like to allow participants to be able to trash (not delete) their replies and posts if they are still allowed to edit them based on the edit time provided in BBPress settings. Can you please give me some code to achieve this?
Thanks.
Kind of thinking that 80 forums/sub-forums might be the cause… That *is* a lot of forums even for a pretty big site.
Maybe install these two plugins to help narrow things down:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/
Stewart,
That’ll be in your header.php, and you’ll need to find the part that says
<div class="header-area">
through to
</div>
and wrap it in
<?php if (!=bbpress()) : ?>
<div class="header-area">
through to
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
so it will display if it is not a bbpress page
hey all,
Could someone please help me integrate bbpress forums with ultimate member. Ultimate member is a perfect plugin for members but it does not have forums so I wanted to use bbpress’ forums! Is there anyone here who is familiar with this? How can I do that?
Thanks a lot!
