Hi,

How can I change the “Forum” title on top of the forums list in the layout?

Thanks for your help,

Philippe

Hi Robin,

The question I asked is still an issue for me.

1/ The layout says “Forum,” not “forums,” as for the root and single slugs in the settings. So, I am not sure we speak of the same thing. You will see here an image of what I mean: https://i.postimg.cc/QCDnCpcb/Screenshot-2023-09-03-174309.jpg

2/ If I change the root slug (in the settings), I then get a “page not found” in the front end. That is normal, but how do I sync the slug change on the forum page itself since there is no such page in the WP list of pages?

Thanks again

so which method are you using in item 3 of this

Hi,

I followed method 1.

Bad news: The title of my page is Forums; however, there is no such title or anything at all relating to forum(s) in the WP pages list. I came across a similar issue once and there was a technical reason for it but, of course, I forgot which it was. For now, that can be left aside.

Good news: The “bad news” is not related to what I am looking for. The image link I gave will show you.

?!

Not for me when I click on it. The image is on the left-hand side of the screen. Alternatively, you can try https://postimg.cc/r0h9YRn0.

ok, so this is below the breadcrumb, and is not the standard forum layout, so what are you using to make the forum display look like this?

[@ph59 Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

I use the GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress plugin for the bbPress layout and Paidmemberships Pro for my membership website. Even after deactivating both, there is still the Forum, Topics, Posts, and Last Post bar appearing in bbPress, which seems all but normal to me: https://postimg.cc/wR1SkHWY

My question is: Can I change “Forum” in that bar to something else?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 4 months ago]

ok, so yes you could change the default template for that page in bbpress, but your theme is not using that template, so that is pointless.

You need to amend the template your theme is using, so need to contact the theme support.

Ok. Thanks a lot.
