I think this should do it. It’s from my library of code and haven’t used it in a while, so come back if it’s not what you want
You’ll need to add it to your functions file
Functions files and child themes – explained !
//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
// Define used variables
$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
$i = 0;
$count = array();
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'before' => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
'after' => '</ul>',
'link_before' => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
'link_after' => '</li>',
'count_before' => ' (',
'count_after' => ')',
'count_sep' => ', ',
'separator' => ', ',
'forum_id' => '',
'show_topic_count' => true,
'show_reply_count' => true,
), 'list_forums' );
// Loop through forums and create a list
$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {
// Total count (for separator)
$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
$i++; // Separator count
// Get forum details
$count = array();
$show_sep = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
$title = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
$content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ;
// Show topic count
if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
}
// Show reply count
if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
}
// Counts to show
if ( !empty( $count ) ) {
$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];
}
// Build this sub forums link
$output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after'];

return $output ;

}

Hi,
How can I move a topic from one forum to another programmatically? I’m hoping to send a post variable with the new forum ID, and then update the topic like so:
// Update the Status Meta After Changes are Posted
if ( isset( $_POST['bbps_forum_option'] ) ) {
$new_forum = $_POST['bbps_forum_option'];
bbp_update_topic( $this->topic_id, $new_forum );
} // if()
Thanks!
There are a couple of issues with that code up there. Correct function is this one:
public function forum_list(){
$forums = array();
if ( bbp_has_forums() ) {
while ( bbp_forums() ) {
bbp_the_forum();
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$forum_name = bbp_get_forum_title();
$data = array( 'ID' => $forum_id, 'name' => $forum_name );
$forums[] = $data;
} // while()
} // if()
return $forums;
} // get_forum_list()
Hi,
I’m trying to retrieve a simple list of all forums on a site, for which I need to have a loop. I’m trying to create one from within a class in my plugin using this function:
public function forum_list(){
$forums = array();
if ( bbp_has_forums() {
while ( bbp_forums() ) {
bbp_the_forum();
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$forum_name = bbp_get_forum_title();
$data = array( 'ID' => $forum_id, 'name' => $forum_name );
$forums[] = $data;
//} // while()
} // if()
return $forums;
} // get_forum_list()
Which is called inside the construcor like so:
$this->forums = $this->forum_list();
This is telling me there is no object (Call to a member function get() on a non-object). The function works perfectly well outside the class, but inside it fails. What am I missing?
Hi there,
I use the Genesis framework. In the Genesis theme there is a CSS part that sets the global margins.
.entry {
margin-bottom: 40px;
padding: 50px 60px;
}
I managed to change a lot of the CSS by learning trial and error. I managed to change lot of the CSS of bbPress, but I don’t now how to change specific global things only affecting the bbPress forum.
How can I change only the margings and the font type of the forum, without affecting the rest of the site (Genesis CSS).
Your help is highly appreciated 🙂
The normal behaviour is to allow anyone to see profiles.
You can limit this to only logged in users by adding some code to a couple of files.
If you have c-panel or ftp access and know how to transfer files, come back and I’ll help you with the changes.
ok, save this file as bbpress.php into the root of your theme
ie
wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php
where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme !! 🙂
Then add a line above the last, so that it now reads
<? get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
bbpress will now use that page as the one for bbpress, and should display a sidebar.
‘tweaks’ should tghen sue this fro your forum sidebar.
Come back if any of that doesn’t work, or you need more explanation
Thanks Robin

can you post the code for the full width one here please
I wish to show the description of each forum in the forum list as seen here:
http://forum.unified-automation.com/
If someone could point me towards the file and/or function I need to add/amend, I’d be eternally grateful.
I have it laid out with the child forums listed as shown by following this example but when I last tried to show the description along side it, I got the WSOD (my php sucks).
Thanks to any and all!
WP version 4.0
bbPress version 2.5.4
Ok, I found it.
I had a plug-in called Landing Page.
It wasn`t enough to deactivate it. I deleted it and everything seems to work fine.
Don`t ask how or why, it just worked.
Thanks for your help.
@nightcoder You Rock! I was having this same problem where the “s” was missing from our noreply address. I followed your instruction and modified bbpress/includes/common/functions.php and it works perfectly! Thank you very much. 🙂
Hey Stephen,
Up until earlier today when I adjusted forum settings I believe it would just say “PRIVATE: Forumname”. Now I see “PRIVATE: PRIVATE Forumname”. Not sure what I changed to make that start happen.
Is there a reason why you would want to say “PRIVATE: PRIVATE: Forumname”?
I added the code you provided to the bottom of functions.php and no wordpress page would load.

I also tried saving ntwb_remove_protected_private_titles.php to my plugins directory with no luck. I guess I need a little more direction.
Thanks!
I am trying to help users and want to use the code backticks to display the BBCodes they need to use.
It won’t display the actual code, it renders the code out instead when placed in backticks using the code/code buttons.
Using a default theme, WP 4.0 and 2.5.4 bbpress
I just moved your topic as it really has nothing to do with the other topic.
You shouldn’t need a plugin to do that, simply browse to http://example.com/topics and you’ll have a list of the most recent topics or topics with replies sorted by freshness.
As for colours, that will depend upon the theme, if the theme includes customised templates for bbPress then typically yes, if it does not you’ll end up with the some default colors bbPress sets for you in this case.
There are lots of docs here to browse also https://codex.bbpress.org/
images are doable, but you’d need code that is beyond the free help on here
yes, you will need to rename one of your theme pages (the one that has only one sidebar) to bbpress.php and put it into your theme

Yes, each of your
['my_custom_role']
needs to be different, otherwise it’s just overwriting each time, which is why only the last one shows
eg my_custom_role1 my_custom_role2
giving
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1>'] = array(
'name' => 'Recruit',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Corporal',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants
);
I used this code, and added a few new ones but when i try assignem them it only shows 1
Hi everyone, i was wondering what i’m doing wrong here..
I added 13 new roles in my themes functions.php, but when i try to assign them to my users it obly shows a few of them..

return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
Anyone has an idea?
also how can i add images in front of the names? small icons like this:
