I changed the default length of forum topics (bbp_title_max_length) in bbpress’ core-functions.php, but it seems to have no effect on the length of topic titles. What I’m wondering is if there is some function in Genesis Connect that may be overriding this change, or something else that may be conflicting? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!

So it looks like the Genesis Connect plugin only impacts buddypress pages… Is there any other file I need to edit in bbpress besides core-functions.php?

Are you using BuddyPress or just bbPress?

[johnnysomething]

Thanks for the response, Jared. I’m using both BuddyPress and bbPress.

What version of bbPress? What Genesis theme?

[johnnysomething]

bbPress Version 2.0.2

Education Child Theme

I found a solution but am not wild about the method.. In form-topic.php I replaced “bbp_title_max_length” with the desired number of characters, “126”, and that did the trick. I just don’t understand why editing the default characters of bbp_title_max_length didn’t work on its own.
