Hi there,

I’m building a website with Elementor Pro and bbPress.
I created 2 different Headers: a main one for the Landing page and blog, and another one for the forums.
I used the shortcode to display the forums index on a page I’ve built with Elementor and the Header works fine. But when it comes to the automatically created single pages (topic, reply, search, etc.), it displays the main Header.

I contacted Elementor support, not knowing if the issue was on their side or on yours, and they told me I had to contact you, explaining me this :
“For your information, we usually find this happening when creating custom post types where it is excluded from showing in menus via the custom post type’s “show_in_nav_menus” option; this option is found in the post type’s “register_post_type” function used to add it in WordPress and may be set to “false” in this case […] we highly recommend contacting the bbPress support team to help with changing this option to “true”. The solution we suspect would be similar to using the function code mentioned in this bbPress support post but with the ‘show_in_nav_menus’ variable set to ‘true’ > https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/ ”

So, here I am! Can someone help me, please?

Thank you!

ok, put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'rew') ;

And whereabouts in the functions file do we insert it?

[@richardwantstoknow Participant 4 years, 9 months ago]

Here’s what the child theme looks like now:

<?php

function hello_elementor_child_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style(
‘hello-elementor-child’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
[
‘hello-elementor’
],
‘1.0.0’
);
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘hello_elementor_child_enqueue_scripts’ );

function ele_disable_page_title( $return ) {
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘hello_elementor_page_title’, ‘ele_disable_page_title’ );

=========
I tried adding your suggested content at the end of the file, but received an error message that stated the functions file had reverted due to an error in line 45. Line 45 was simply a close-bracket “}”.

just tried it, it is all good, you must have missed a character off somewhere, just add it to the end

<?php
function hello_elementor_child_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style(
'hello-elementor-child',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
[
'hello-elementor'
],
'1.0.0'
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hello_elementor_child_enqueue_scripts' );
function ele_disable_page_title( $return ) {
return false;
}
add_filter( 'hello_elementor_page_title', 'ele_disable_page_title' );
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'rew') ;

function rew ($rew) {

$rew = array(
