@ttmt place this code into loop-topics.php above the <li class="bbp-header">
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
@robin-w I think the second one would require PHP and i hate PHP , but i can tell you the second one is going to use scraps of this
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
and some of this , basically the wp-get-current-user and output a link
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
@gogitossj34
well if you want the 14px avatars by started by and the freshness try this instead
remove the code i gave you before and add this
.avatar {
width: auto;
height: auto;
margin: 0 0 1.5rem;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 50%;
}
and then you can resize certain avatars by providing their class then .avatar then the css
@robin-w just helping out
link to show a list of the most popular topics
this is easy you can just create an html link to the (most poplular) view in bbpress
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
‘View my posts’ link so user could view a list of there posts
this would require a link to replies created
which i think you could if you edit some of this function
<li class="<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) :?>current<?php endif; ?>">
<span class='bbp-user-replies-created-link'>
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
</span>
</li>
I’ve just started using bbpress and I like the simplicity of it. I’ve been trying to customize it to my need for the past 2 weeks (yeah, I am slow). This is something that I came up with that I’d like to share with the community since I’ve learned so much from over here. And I am really proud of myself for coming up with this since I usually suck at php and css.
If you want a new topic, or new reply button on top of your topics list ore replies list.
You can just add this code to your functions.php and you are good to go. This way, it will only show a “new topic” link if the user is logged in. If they are not, then it’ll show a text saying “to post a new topic register or login”. Of course, you can change the code to whatever you want. And make sure you change the links to your login and register pages. And you can add class to customize the text with css.
//function to add new topic thread
function bbp_login_thread_link() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<a href="#new-post">Create a new thread</a>
<?php }
else { ?>
<p> To create a new thread <a href="http://yourwebsite.com/login">login</a> or <a href="http://yourwebsite.com/register">register</a></p>
<?php }
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'bbp_login_thread_link' );
//function to add new reply thread
function bbp_post_reply_link() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<a href="#new-post">Post a Reply</a>
<?php }
else { ?>
<p> To post a reply <a href="http://yourwebsite/login">login</a> or <a href="http://yourwebsite/register">register</a></p>
<?php }
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'bbp_post_reply_link' );
I am hoping you guys can add this to this article which has examples of layout and functionality. That article helped me immensely and I will feel honoured to have contributed to it.
@gogitossj34 this code is what your problem is, it changes the size of all avatars in your site.
.avatar {
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
margin: 0 0 1.5rem;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 50%;
}
the distorted avatar image is because there is a function in your templates that is used to call the user avatar , and in the function it is proportioned to be at 14px X 14px. your css code stretches this out 14px avatar to be 60px X 60px causing a distorted avatar image.
to remove the distorted image just add this to custom css
.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }
it should work
i dont know what exactly is causing your double avatars though , i would guess that it is the “started by” avatar like how these forums have.
But i am not for sure.
If you want to keep the avatar next to freshness only tell me
I’m not a programmer or such so I cannot understand what you’re saying
im no programmer i had practice with trial and error, and all this is basically common sense
Hello Dears,
@Robin – did run a test yesterday; please see below. Yes – it is still missing the ‘s’. This test was with both Easy WP SMTP and WP Email Template Pro deactivated.
@nightcoder – sorry you are having this problem also, however it is always good having another set of variables for troubleshooting. Hopefully we can get this resolved for everyone :-).
Kind Regards,
Sura

Sorry Peter but I’m not a programmer or such so I cannot understand what you’re saying, can you provide a step by step for me ?
I can use custom css plugin but that’s all.
I tried your code with custom css and now it looks different but still weird nonetheless. Any suggestions ?
Yikes I think I may have spoke a little too soon. Having done your recommended method, it doesn’t seem to isolate the changes made for the shortcode. I have removed the original modified file and created a duplicate named ‘content-single-topicb.php’. This corresponds with the change to line 335 in shortcodes.php with bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topicb' );.
Any idea why it’s not working?
ok so if your code savvy, two approaches
1. the hack
I haven’t tried this, but it should work fine
go into
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php
and look at line
355 which says
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic' );
change that to
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topicb' );
That will then get bbpress looking for a php file called ‘content-single-topicb.php’
so then you can use the method in my first post to create that file in your theme ie as per first post, but just rename the file with a b at the end.
YOU WILL need to change this each time bbpress upgrades as it will overwrite – hence why it is the hack ! But that’s hardly difficult !
2. the proper way
Would be to create your own version of the shortcode, by copying all that particular shortcode into your themes functions file, BUT renaming it (or you’ll get already loaded errors), and then lots of editing to get it to work.
Personally I’d go route 1, and just make a note to change that file each time bbpress upgrades
ok, I’ve worked out that error
You have two issues
1. the code is slightly wrong, I’ve corrected it in the documentation, but you need to change your line 168 from
function add_new roles( $bbp_roles )
to
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
ie an underline between ‘new’ and ‘roles’
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
2. you have now put the code in a core functions file of bbpress, and it cannot run there as it calls code that has not yet been loaded.
The code needs to go into your THEME’s functions.php file, not any functions file with the PLUGIN bbpress.
Please read again
Functions files and child themes – explained !
Thanks Robin! No problem with the steps you have laid out so far. How would I isolate these changes only for the shortcode?
ok the template you are after is
wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
this will alter it wherever this template is used.
make a copy of this template and put it in a directory called bbpress in the root of your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then modify this file
to remove breadcrumbs take out line 14 which says
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
then move line 44 (will probably be line 43 if you’ve taken out then breadcrumb!) which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>
You may need to play with where to put it 9i haven’t tried it) , but after lines 21 & 22
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
looks a good start, if not just keep moving it til you get what you want.
If you only want it to look like this for the shortcode, then that is doable but a lot more complicated !
now I added the code in functions.php
but the error message still appear:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘(‘ in /home/u639474582/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php on line 168

Hi guys, I’m using the [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] shortcode to include a topic on my post. Would it be possible to have the reply form above the topic? How would I modify the template to remove the displayed breadcrumb as well?
I tried your code anyway, fixed some stuf here and there and apparently, it worked but there is still some problem.
The copyright part is acting weirly now.
The one on orther page and the one in the forum is very different.
Can you give it another shot, we are so close to finally win this theme. :))
Thanks for trying so hard to help me.
Can you send the file to me since I’ve notice that copying the code sometime corrupt this theme. Even copying the original code break it sometime.
Hmm… not sure what’s going on here. Have you tested it on a default theme?
My avatars were not doing that the last I checked. I’m pretty sure they were auto-resizing smaller, and fitting in quite nice. But, I stopped using this bbPress theme before the last couple WordPress updates because it’s not responsive, and the default bbPress is. It’s possible something changed in the WordPress code to make it act different.
If you can make a child theme, you could try this to change the avatars’ size on the page where they’re squished with css:
bbp-topic-meta .avatar {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
ok, so now we are back to my first response which gave you two ways to do it.
If you want it within the screen, then add this to your functions file
//add login to top of index
function index_login () {
if (!is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-login]');
}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index', 'index_login' ) ;
see
Functions files and child themes – explained !
for how to do this
ok, this theme has annoyed me so much that I have down loaded it.
I then saw that it claims to be a bbpress friendly theme, aghh!!! why not include a fullwidth forum????
so had a little play
on my test site the following works
bbpress.php looks like
<?php get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>
<main>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : // Checks if any posts were found. ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : // Begins the loop through found posts. ?>
<?php the_post(); // Loads the post data. ?>
<article <?php hybrid_attr( 'post' ); ?>>
<?php if ( is_singular( get_post_type() ) ) : // If viewing a single page. ?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 <?php hybrid_attr( 'entry-title' ); ?>><?php single_post_title(); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
<div <?php hybrid_attr( 'entry-content' ); ?>>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php else : // If not viewing a single page. ?>
<header class="entry-header">
<?php the_title( '<h2 ' . hybrid_get_attr( 'entry-title' ) . '><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark" itemprop="url">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
<div <?php hybrid_attr( 'entry-content' ); ?>>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endif; // End single page check. ?>
</article><!-- .entry -->
<?php endwhile; // End found posts loop. ?>
<?php else : // If no posts were found. ?>
<?php locate_template( array( 'content/error.php' ), true ); // Loads the content/error.php template. ?>
<?php endif; // End check for posts. ?>
</main><!-- #content -->
<footer <?php hybrid_attr( 'footer' ); ?>>
<div class="wrap">
<?php hybrid_get_menu( 'social' ); // Loads the menu/social.php template. ?>
<p class="credit">
<?php printf(
/* Translators: 1 is current year, 2 is site name/link, 3 is WordPress name/link, and 4 is theme name/link. */
__( 'Copyright © %1$s %2$s. Powered by %3$s and %4$s.', 'stargazer' ),
date_i18n( 'Y' ), hybrid_get_site_link(), hybrid_get_wp_link(), hybrid_get_theme_link()
); ?>
</p><!-- .credit -->
</div><!-- .wrap -->
</footer><!-- #footer -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<?php wp_footer(); // WordPress hook for loading JavaScript, toolbar, and other things in the footer. ?>
</body>
</html>
Sorry, ignore the code checker part, the error said it all.
getting this, code checker said it’s mssing ); ?> on line 52 or 50
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/a7203024/public_html/wp-content/themes/stargazer/bbpress.php on line 52
Just have this weird idea. What if we make a copy of footer.php, name it footer1.php then delete the getsidebar line in it. Afterthat, modified bbpress.php for it to call the footer1.php nstead of footer.php ?
The fact that your theme has coded the sidebar in the footer is really annoying !
No idea why that isn’t working, but plan b
change footer.php back to how it was, that way all the other pages will work.
now go back into bbpress.php and instead of the
<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>
paste the footer.php code, but without the two sidebar lines
</div><!– #main –>
</div><!– .wrap –>
<footer <?php hybrid_attr( ‘footer’ ); ?>>
<div class=”wrap”>
<?php hybrid_get_menu( ‘social’ ); // Loads the menu/social.php template. ?>
<p class=”credit”>
<?php printf(
/* Translators: 1 is current year, 2 is site name/link, 3 is WordPress name/link, and 4 is theme name/link. */
__( ‘Copyright © %1$s %2$s. Powered by %3$s and %4$s.’, ‘stargazer’ ),
date_i18n( ‘Y’ ), hybrid_get_site_link(), hybrid_get_wp_link(), hybrid_get_theme_link()
); ?>
</p><!– .credit –>
</div><!– .wrap –>
</footer><!– #footer –>
</div><!– #container –>
<?php wp_footer(); // WordPress hook for loading JavaScript, toolbar, and other things in the footer. ?>
and see what that does ! Sorry without having your theme, I’m guessing at some of the code, and am as before likely to miss some grammer so you may need to play a bit with it.
I’m getting this instead
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/a7203024/public_html/wp-content/themes/stargazer/footer.php on line 7
I noticed that your code was missing a .?> thing so I added it and no error but the sidebar is now hidden in everypage.
Apologies was trying to answer many threads with guests due for dinner, so prevouis answer was a bit short !
I followed it and copy-and-pasted the code into my capabilities.php
ahhh, now I understand, as per original thread you need to add that code to your functions.php, not to capabilities.php, and that would explain the error.
Whilst you could amend the participant role, I haven’t documented that, so easiest is just for you to create a new role and give it the participant capabilities plus the ‘delete topics’ and ‘delete replies’. This article explains how
Custom Capabilities
add this code to your functions file – see
