Hi Sam,

I had a hard time looking for the archive-forums.php, until I found it in the bbp-twentyten theme folder in bbp-themes folder. From my understanding I’m not using this theme for bbPress (or am I?)

I made the changes as you described and nothing takes effect. I’ve tried moving about the archive-forums.php into different areas, my main theme folder, the bbPress includes folder and others to see if I could find the right spot it needed to be in order to be called, but without luck.

Where do I need to place this file in order to have it activated or used by bbPress?

I also tried creating a new ‘theme’ for bbPress following the direction here.. https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/themes-and-templating/

But it seems to call in my bbPress theme into my main WordPress theme area, and I don’t want to change th WP theme, I just want bbPress to use this file to generate it’s <h1> Title.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks for your time!

Hey Jobjorn,

I’m still pretty green with bbPress but I think you could make a plugin to modify that base page title. I think the function you may want is this..

function bbp_get_forum_archive_title( $title = '' ) {

global $bbp;



// If no title was passed

if ( empty( $title ) ) {



// Set root text to page title

if ( $page = bbp_get_page_by_path( $bbp->root_slug ) ) {

$title = get_the_title( $page->ID );



// Default to forum post type name label

} else {

$fto    = get_post_type_object( bbp_get_forum_post_type() );

$title  = $fto->labels->name;

}

}



return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_archive_title', $title );

}

It’s located in the bbp-forum-template.php

Gadzooks! It seems to me that’s critically important I can’t really use bbpress until something like this comes along

Help?

[Jared Atchison]

FYI a better way instal of hacking core or using CSS is placing this in your functions.php

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );

function ja_return_blank() {

ja_return '';

}

You are correct! It looks like my theme is hardcoded to make this happen. Thank you for your support!

[alienalias]

In what folder(s)/line(s) of code in bbpress files in my cPanel can I change the font size for the description of that particular forum thread or thread descriptions? I’ve searched this forum, but can’t find it anywhere using the search. Please help, as the descriptions of my forum/Topic titles are MINISCULE and will strain the readers eye. THANK YOU for your help!

Hello

I have just received a response in German bbpress forum where you can change the date when an update does not always need to manually (except changing the class name or the bbpress WP Theme gets an update) …

In the wp-theme style.css add the following:

div.bbp-template-notice.info {display: none !important;}

This causes the system tray is no longer displayed in the forums and in the individual posts.

I hope this will help any other peoples

But I’m still on the search, the number of posts and the number of topics to delete (numbers in parentheses after the forum) – because you know a solution?

Thank you very much

[John James Jacoby]

Something with your theme is hardcoded to make that happen. Nothing bbPress can do about it if the theme takes over.

Hello

In the German Forum bbpress unfortunately I found nothing about this problem … I want to delete the numbers behind the forum (post number / number of subjects). Where can I find this code?

Thank you in advance!

Do you mean you want a wysiwyg editor in bbpress such as TinyMCE? (Which include bold, italic, etc)

bbPress 2.0 does not comes with a wysiwyg editor. bbPress 2.1 do have a TinyMCE editor, although it’s still under development.

You can try this plugin Rich Text Editor For Comments or Basic Comment Quicktags

Thank you!!!! Thank you very much )

It all works perfectly!

…. And yes, I would also like to get rid of every post in this area – you’ve got a solution?

Again, thank you very much!

[Sniper Kitten]

Do you mean you want the bbPress to appear in the mainpage (http://www.yourdomain.com) but not sub pages? (http://www.yourdomain.com/forums)

I don’t think you need to give me the admin login info. It’s just a few step:

Create a page with the following shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

Navigate to Setting > Reading in your dashboard. In the “Front page displays” option, select the page you created as front page. Now the forum should show up in the mainpage.

That’s it!

If I have a category and a description as initial treatment – this is unfortunately appear AFTER all the forums. I would like to have this but BEFORE all forums, as this is my opinion makes more sense.

Is this possible?

And sorry for my bad english, i’m swiss )

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Hi, I’m a real wordpress noob. I followed the above instructions step-for-step only to come across this message in the middle of the instructions…

“[Note: You will have to create the link to your sitewide forums page in your custom menu or main navigation. The menu links in the image below were created prior to setting up this tutorial.]”

Now, I need instruction to create the link to my site wide forums page in my custom menu or main navigation.

Hi…

I’ve added bbpress forums to my WordPress account without any problems, but I want to use a different image header for the forums than for the rest of the site. In which file does bbpress pull the header from my site, and is it simply possible just to plug in a different image into the code instead of it finding my regular header?

Forums are at http://ovcball.net/forums/

Thanks!

See the author box here: http://www.wisewahm.com/forum/topic/test-2/? It looks like I’m missing an opening or closing tag somewhere and I can’t figure out what file to check. I’m using bbpress & buddypress with the buddyboss theme.

BuddyPress Forums Extras – BBCode to HTML 0.3.0 installed (No change to my forum)

and now I’m here.. is there a plugin for avatars ?

Can’t wait for a reply have a great day all

[Andrew]

Hi Scoe, Thanks for the Code to alter the forums breadcrumbs. I was wondering if you could let me know which file you found the h1 located in? in order to change that? I’ve been looking everywhere.

I think you brought that file into your main theme directory to overwrite bbpress’s standard files?

[John James Jacoby]

You can use bbp_get_forum_last_active_id() to get the post ID of the latest topic or reply. From there you’ll have to use WordPress functions to get out what you need.

(This, of course, is assuming you’re using bbPress 2.0 or beyond)

Hi Folks, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction on where or what to modify.

I’ve got BB press set up at the root slug ‘Forums’ and when I navigate there I get a list of the 5 forums I’ve created so far. The page title on that page is currently the last forum I added.

SO the page display’s ‘Off the Mat’ as the page title in the h1 of the main content

while below is a listing of 5 different forums (the last of which is Off the Mat).

How can I modify that page title to be something like ‘Community Forums’ or similar?

I understand I’ll need to create a plugin, and get a bit of bbpress code pulled into it and then modify it, but looking at the includes folder I really don’t know where to start. And once my plugin file is created it goes where?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi everyone, I wanted to see if there are any shortcodes or code for displaying my favorites or for my topics started? If so I can just display them on a custom page. I’ve been all over the forums and cannot find anyone who has asked for this.

Thank you for any help,

Chris
