a look through and you should be able to work out what most of it is doing.
If you want to alter any of these, make a new directory in the root of your theme and copy any of these template files to it (only the ones you want to alter)
so for instance if you wanted to alter content-archive-forum.php you’d create a copy to get
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
you can then alter these copies, and bbpress will use them instead
at the finer level you may need to use something like firebug to work out how to say ‘bold’ the forums names to see what css each part is using, so that you can alter it.
Firebug is downloaded to go with the Firefox browser. There are loads of firebug tutorials eg see
If you’d like to get Montezuma working then an answer to my questions in my previous post would be helpful as if they are the links being emailed something else is not quite right, maybe a conflict with some ‘mail’ type plugin you might be using.
I just installed the Montezuma theme myself and the email links I get appear correct.
I also had to folow the steps on this page to get bbPress looking kind of right, there are still a few theme issues such as > being displayed in the header and footer.

YOU ARE A GENIUS. I have to go to the forum settings and change m root to forum. It seems to be working. I could hug you through the computer. Thanks so much for sticking with me.
You should not have had to change this, you should keep this setting as forums, changing it to forum will likely cause a slug conflict, change it back to forums.
i pretty much gave you all you need , i just cant work on the exact structure on the code it might be just adding in ‘woothemes’ but i dont know for sure
(i work trial and error, im a 19 y/o newb haha) .
you could wait til @robin-w or @netweb takes over , work it out yourself, or contact woothemes and link them to this topic and maybe they will help you out too.
I moved the code below <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?> but it does make no difference.
Here is the link: filmprojekt.ch/Izzy2/community/forum/
well maybe there is a problem with recognizing the menu location , like exactly where the function is in loop-forums.php
first let me see a link to your website
then im going to recreate this bbpress menu from the steps i gave you and see if i made an error copying and pasting
by the time i finish this is what you could do
put <nav id="subnav" role="navigation">
<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( 'bbmenu' ) ) { /* if menu location 'bbmenu' exists then use custom menu */
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'bbmenu') );
}
?>
</nav>
I already had a child theme (made from woothemes canvas), in there I have a folder called “bbpress” in there I already had the “form-topic.php”, “loop-forums.php”, “user-details.php” and “user-profile.php”. And one level above is the bbpress.php file.
I pasted the code in the functions.php of the child theme, and added the other code in the “loops-forums.php” above <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
I created a new menu called bbmenu and placed a custom link into it, and I added it to the “bbpress Forum Menu location”.
Then I pasted the css into my custom css.
I don’t get any error every thing works fine, but there is no menu showing. mmmh?
I successfully imported my Vanilla Forum. But what its missing are my forums. I got 7 categories in my old Vanilla forum but 0 forums after the import.
Quite a lot of info, and not sure if it is affecting
The middle paragraph starting ‘My initial setup was a template file called…’ is worrying.
Basically you should not be adding stuff to your main theme, instead you should use a child theme.
Within this you will have a functions file (not a bbpress-functions file), and you would put the functions code for the custom role in the functions file.
It is not a compatibility issue because even before I had someone add the DIVI theme to the CSS for me the links were not working and I thought that it was because it was not incorporated into my theme.
you should not be adding code to the end of a main theme’s functions, but should be creating child theme. By all means leave it there and test that it works, but then create a child theme and move it there or you risk losing the change on an update. I’ll try and make this even clearer in the documentation – it is a first version !
Hope that helps you, and please come back with any further issues ! 🙂
I was told that I could either make the breadcrumbs go away completely or modify them. I chose to modify the appearance of the “crumbs of bread”. The following code was offered to me as a possible solution to my desire to modify my breadcrumbs . . .
The result was this message in black against a white screen . . .
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/sylviannai/public_html/journal/wp-content/themes/twentyten/functions.php on line 568
So what I’m asking is there additional code or an error in the code as that last line suggests.
Thank you for reading and please, please help. I’m losing my mind on this project and I didn’t have that many marbles to play with before I started in the first place.
Do you know why this fixes the pagination issue when using shortcodes and partnering with a page?
No 😉
I’m not sure what is going on there, I’ll dig around a bit further and see what I can come up with, it should work for any combination of use cases though once you start adding two shortcodes per page it looks like bbPress may have an issue deciding which shortcode to honour the pagination for.
