might well be theme related, does your theme have any bbpress templates in it?
Hi,
My theme does have a folder for BBpress, but this has not changed for over 4 years and now this issue has come up.
I suspect that your theme is using out of date templates, and the new topic/reply forms have a login in them, then old ones didn’t.
If the list is not massive, can you list the files in that folder?
content-archive-forum.php
form-search.php
loop-single-topic.php
content-single-forum.php
loop-forums.php
loop-topics.php
Hi @robin-w , did you have any idea here how to remove the additional login box?
I have used JS to hide a second login box for now, but this is not a long-term solution.
is there a function I should be looking for?
could i just add a function in the functions.php file with something like:
if user_is_logged_in –> don’t show loginbar
I think your theme is adding another one in the bbpress templates
so in 2.6.x they are added in
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php
so your have 2 choices
a. the better one
Look in each of the files you listed as being bbpress in your themes template and look for a line which says something like
bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' );
and edit out this line
b. If you can’t find it there, then
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
remove the line which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘user-login’ ); ?>
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Repeat this for form-topic.php
Great Robin. Thx so much for this. Did B option, as couldn’t find the function. Either way, can remove my JS and this has worked. Sorry for the late reply. This topic is now closed.
