@ebunny3k
copy the loop-forums.php file into your child theme in a folder called bbpress
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
also i need to move this file to a gist….it seems more appropriate over there
yes take out the line
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
about 5 line sup from the bottom.
BUT you need this to be a bbpress.php file in the right directory as per and don’t delete the page.php file – that runs the rest of your site !
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
@ebunny3k
are you talking about categories/subforums like this.

if this isnβt possible, I totally understand.
no its possible , i forgot some periods though.
Here should be the full code , not shortened though.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
if it still doesnt work , post a topic that has a couple links in the replies and topic post and i can find some CSS that would work with your theme.
ok,
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
Any replies with silly css hacks will be ignored
not sure that attacking potential helpers is the best way to get a response. Using hide in css is a perfectly acceptable way of achieving things even if you think it silly. I prefer non css solutions purely because my css is rubbish π
Anyway in the documentation you will find
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
enjoy !
I think your theme is causing this. Unfortunately many theme authors wrap the various sidebar options into one page.php file nowadays. It gives theme flexibility, but doesn’t help andyone with custom post types such as bbpress. I’ve taken a look and try amending the bbpress.php to
<?php
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID;
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die();
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
<div class="container">
<div class="middle-main content-full">
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div class="inner">
<article class="post post-details">
<?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
</header>
<?php endif;?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div>
</article>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
<?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>
which takes out all the stuff relating to sidebars.
Come back if that doesn’t work or errors
good set of questions!
bbpress uses WordPress registration for forum users, so they will integrate nicely.
There are widgets within bboress that allow for login and registration
With forums set to public, then anyone can see forums, but only logged in users can ‘participate’
Users can change their email in the profile section
two queries
5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.
This will be the case, unless they use the remember me function, but in effect that is the same as it is a logged in person. There are plugins to prevent remember me if you want to disable eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/
7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.
They cannot delete themselves, they can just stop using. They can of course send the admin a request to be deleted, and then the admin has the choice of deleting all content for that user, assigning it to someone else, or just blocking that user so that the content remains under their name.
@ebunny3k maybe fair comment, but not sure why you’re lurking on here if you feel that bbpress is such a bad product π
Is it really hard to add this categories thing to core code? So anyone can use them without any hassle? And yes it is so nice to point out some nice websites where people rewrite bbpress code to make it usable. <- But it does not help other 99% users.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method BBP_Default::epicwebs_bbp_list_forums() in /data01/virt50419/domeenid/www.mkuubis.net/htdocs/wp-content/themes/valenti/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 38
You should instead use phpbb, musch more options available, including categories/subforums option what bbpress does not have. <- years later and they still do not have so simple thing like that. crazy.
Noticed that lots of users are interested about main categories options, like phpbb, vbulletin, and other popular forums are using. And years later there is still nothing???
There is still no options or plugins to make my bbpress look like this one: http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ with different main categories like: “General Discussions”, “mechanics discussion”, “player factions”, etc.
When bbpress team will ad that option?
I installed both “fixes” and the search still does not include bbpress topics. For example there are several discussions on dog food and pressure cooker puddings in the forums so if I search for “dog” or “pudding” those topics should be included in the results, but they are not.

I have this theme from ThemeFuse called GameZone, and every changes i have made since the original i usually have fix by my self somehow, but the other day i was tired of PHPBB and converted and move it over completly to BBPress, and it work as is should i got some of the css fix so its almost as ret of the page, the only problem is i found out even i use the themes own “widget” deattachtment for pages i need to be with out side bars Like Guides etc.
Then the BBPress have put my finish touch on hold for the last 36 hrs and i am really irritated over it , because why should a thing i literally find 100 of topics about this problem. Reeally think it is weird there isnt being any solution implented as part of bbpress.
Anyway my forum here is correct size in the “front-page”
1. Frontpage : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat-forum/
2. Sub-page : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat/kategori/playstationforum-dk/
As yoy see the sub-page dont have full width even i have remove made a page.php and copy it over to my child theme and rename it to bbpress.php and remmove
<?php get_sidebar();?>
This is mention alot of places and everything there is sidebar related, but i can really not figure out what because no matter what i remove it either remove background completly or remove the sites build up. And i have made a Page for it and use the shortcode. – Still nothing – Hope someone can help. I actually change to bbpress because i though the hardest part would actually import everything from PHPBB
here is my code as it is now
<?php
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID;
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die();
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
<div class="container">
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'left') : ?>
<div class="middle-main sidebar-left">
<?php endif;?>
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'right') : ?>
<div class="middle-main content-cols2">
<?php endif;?>
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'full') : ?>
<div class="middle-main content-full">
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div class="inner">
<article class="post post-details">
<?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
</header>
<?php endif;?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div>
</article>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
<?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
</div>
</div>
<?php if (($sidebar_position == 'right') || ($sidebar_position == 'left')) : ?>
<div id="secondary" class="sidebar widget-area">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>
I’m building a new website that, for the first time for me, will require registrations and logins for a forum it’s hosting with bbPress. Here is what I see as the process:
1. A person comes to the site and can browse it just like any site.
2. He/she can go to the various forums and read what’s there.
3. If he/she wants to either answer a question or create a question (topic) he/she will have to login.
4. If the person is not registered, he/she will have to do so.
5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.
6. The user will have to be allowed to change his/her email address.
7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.
I’m not sure how to set this up. I’m using WP 4.1.1 using the Divi theme. I’d appreciate any information on how to set this all up or links to information that will explain how to do it.
TIA,
Martin
No, bbpress is up and running – just the search with the above code added to my functions file no longer shows bbpress topics as part of the results. Will click on the recommended fix links above to see if either fix will bring the results back.
Thanks & Happy Easter!

that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.
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.

Hi there, could someone help me figure out where to stop my bbpress topic and breadcrumb links from defaulting to target=”_blank”?
When I’m on my forum archive page — or anywhere else on the site — everything is fine, but once I start navigating to topic pages, all of the links start popping up in new windows: http://pafoic.org/forums/
I’m running WordPress 4.1.1 with a Customizr Pro child theme, and bbPress version 2.5.6
I feel like the solution should be somewhere in plugins > bbpress > includes > topics but I’m just not finding it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hey – thanks for at least looking into it. If that’s the worst limitation of bbPress, I have no complaints!
I was just asking here because I thought there might be a simple solution. I guess I could hire a coder and post the fix back here.
can you carry out the steps in
Before Posting
then come back
that was 7 years ago when bbPress was not a WordPress plugin.
just use any normal WordPress theme.
search bbPress compatible WordPress themes in google to find one that should would work great.
or search bbPress in the wordpress add new theme area in the backend of wordpress.
This plugin will help styling bbPress on any WordPress theme though.

In this topic i read there is an admin area:
How I change theme?
I mean bbPress forum theme only.
