yes there’s lots to learn, my css is probably at your php level !
I found a way to have a search box that is persistent on every level of the bbPress forums. Now I have to get rid of the second search box that is at the top of the forums. I can’t find where that is in the code to remove it.
You could try just turning off the forum search
dashboard>settings>forums and look for allow forum wide search
Is there anyone that comes around regularly that would either donate the time for these couple of tweaks or let me pay them over time?
you can put an ad on wordpress jobs
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
just post it as a project and detail what you want
But I’d play with the css first, as I think much of what you want is stylable.
Robin W,
Thank you for the resources. I can work my way through the CSS and HTML4 and some 5 but I haven’t a clue how to program in PHP. Is there anyone that comes around regularly that would either donate the time for these couple of tweaks or let me pay them over time?
I cloned TwentyTen and renamed it TwentyTen+ and then tweaked the CSS of the formatting to the limit of my understanding. I’m going to keep at that but I’m not going to have the programming kung fu needed to tweak the PHP that bbPress depends on for it’s formating.
I found a way to have a search box that is persistent on every level of the bbPress forums. Now I have to get rid of the second search box that is at the top of the forums. I can’t find where that is in the code to remove it.
Help please.

no problem, using the wordpress editor will not work, you’ll need to use ftp or cpanel
see the following
Functions files and child themes – explained !
on FTP and notepad++ which will get you the tools.
then you want to
ftp the file to your pc
open it using notepad++
then save it to your pc as the new filename
the edit it for the sidebar
then save it on your pc
the ftp the file back to your host
lots to learn, but you’ll find this useful for future as you customise you site
I have also made the edits to that part 3 document.
Awesome, thank you 🙂
The _bbp_topic_title on the new form something like:
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form p,
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea,
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select,
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
margin: 0 0 8px;
background-color: #111111;
}
(The above includes a few other areas of bbPress forms you might be interested in)
There is a Ticket somewhere in our bug tracking for bbPress, I just can’t find it right now but there is a planned improvement to only show a single revision log notice, it is planned to do a bit more than just the notice display also 😉
I haven’t used any of those above plugins except BuddyPress of course so I really can’t help you there except to say that ‘bbPress Roles’ are separate to ‘WordPress Roles’ and most likely the ‘Student’ role you refer to above (and the plugins) are all manipulating WordPress’ roles for you and NOT bbPress roles.
You would need to create a custom role, should be possible.
Take a look at these to get you started:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
Custom Capabilities
I have not tried these recently though I still believe both work, that is of course if you want some Ajax topcs bits also 😉
bbPress – Ajax Replies and bbPress – Ajax Topics
This worked for me…. Try a hard refresh (CRTL F5/CMD F5 I think), your CSS might be cached.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
background-color: #111111;
}
Use your browsers debug tools also, most browsers tools are pretty awesome, F12 will bring it up or right click an element and select ‘Inspect Element’
Also could you update the codex with the correct edits you found, anyone can edit the codex, just login using your same username and password 🙂

Take a look at the following thread as a starter point for navigation menus and bbPress content.
Forum index
Only moderators and keymasters would see that you it should not be an issue in the majority of use cases.
If you still want to though create a child theme if you don’t have one already and modify the bbPress template form-topic.php.

I don’t see this coming to bbPress in the near future as subscriptions are keyed by user_id, which anonymous users do not have.
I don’t know of any plugins either sorry.
Try disabling each of your plugins one at a time (except bbPress) until you see the topic and reply content.
Then you will know which plugin the conflict is with and can then research that further.
After upgrading to bbPress 2.5.4, none of my topic contents are being showed anymore! The topic page loads and everything is visible but the topic content and replies! I use WordPress 3.9.1 and here are the list of my active plugins:

I tried disabling and enabling bbpress plugin and resubmitting settings, but none fixed the issue. I don’t know how to fix it!
@netweb Thank you for replying my question, could you please read the below info and give me some guide, thanks a lot in advanced!
I have installed the following plugins: buddyPress, bbPresss, wp-roles at registration(Allow me to have a drop-down which user can choose their role at registration), buddyPress xProfiles ACL (allow me to set buddyPress xProfile group to Role) and BP Force Profile (display a message and require user to fill in required fields after register and log in before continue).
So I have a Role called “Student” and using buddyPress xProfiles ACL I set a set of xProfile Fields to that Student Role.
I create a User and choose Role as Student and log in with it. I see the message of BP Force Profile that requires me to fill in the missing fields of Student Role User – this means this user role is set to the Student Role.
But, in Admin panel, I still see in the User list: that user Site Role is still : Participant.
In the BuddyPress xProfiles ACL I set it to display the Student Profile Group Fields on User Profile Edit page if the Role of User is Student, but because the New created user Site Role is still Participant so the Student Profile Group Fields Edit Tab won’t be displayed on the User Profile edit Page..!
Is it possible to reply to a bbpress post without reloading the page itself?
Like how it works with Facebook, when someone replies to a Facebook post whole page does not reload and the reply gets posted.
First issue I ran into is the example at the bottom of this page is no longer valid, but I did find the correct edits.
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3
Second issue I am currently having is I am unable to find out how to change the “New topic” and “Reply To” backgrounds that show up at the bottom forums and topics.
Lastly(for now) is that I am unable to change the reply header despite having added this to my css.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
background-color: #111111;
}
My forums are located here: http://test.greatarchitect.us/forums/
Thanks for any help.
basically you’d use the same css as @robkk into your stylsheet, and then the code would be
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo '<p class=bbp-user-nicename>' ;
echo "@".$user_nicename.'</p>' ;
}
}
how do I change the font colour of @username?
im going to use my version though , cause i dont know how with the add action version
<p class=bbp-user-nicename><?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?></p>
throw this into custom css
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-user-nicename {
font-weight: bold;
color: #888;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
}
It works! And it looks really pretty now!! Thanks 🙂
how do I change the font colour of @username? (e.g. grey like BBPress forum)
Hi!
Is there any chance you guys will make a “notify me of follow-up replies via email” for anonymous posts (and replies)?
Or is there a pluggy that can do this? Any help is appriciated.
Anyway, thanks for bbpress awesomeness 🙂
You are right. That’s not it.
It’s a plugin from Genesis, bbPress Genesis Extend that is causing the problem with the newest Genesis Theme update 2.1.0. Have logged on to the StudioPress Forum to see if I can get some help there.
I’ll update this in case anyone else is having the same problem. Or, if anyone has a solution, please let me know.
Cheers.
Just deactivate bbPress, delete the plugin and files, add the plugin again.
You won’t lose any bbPress data 🙂
(I don’t actually think this is it though 😉 )
Hmmm, didn’t see any errors.
Thinking of uninstalling the bbpress plugins, deleting them and reinstalling.
Is there a way to save the current topics, registered users before I begin?
Is this too extreme, what would you suggest?
thanks in advance.
I’ve got nothing, all I can see is your bbPress is merged into your themes ‘cloudfront’ minified/cached CSS.
Try using your browsers debug tool, right click and ‘Inspect Elelement’ or F12 on your keyboard, you should see errors once you are logged in showing certain assets can’t be loaded (i.e. CSS)
That should get you to a starter point on what is missing to debug from there.
