ok, so
I understand from this threat that the layout of search results or topic-tag pages can be customized based on the template files stored in the bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder.
In order to retain the customization during updates of the bbpress plugin, I have created the same folder structure inside the directory of my child theme (see screenshot).
yes that is correct and should work, BUT you would do better to only copy those templates you are changing/altering – bbpress will then use those you have changed from your child theme directory and use the unchanged from the plugin directory..
so what are users clicking to get the topic tags page ?
Hi Robin,
thanks for getting back timely and for re-confirming my understanding about copying template files selectively. In fact I have already done so. When I copy the content-search.php into the related subfolder of my child-theme and rename it into “form-topic-tag” the trick is not working ;-/
What I need to know is which page is linked to which template, so that I know which template I need to copy and modify.
Regarding your question: Users a clicking the tag name to get to the topic tag page.
Again my questions:
1) what is the name of the template file behind the topic search results?
2) how do I need to rename this template file in order to get the page structure of the keyword search result page for the archive-tage page also?
Any advise is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Jan

Hi Robin,
thanks for sharing this piece of additional documentation.
Unfortunately I don’t quite see how this answers the two questions of my previous reply. None of the entries talks about “search” or “topic-tag” related template files.
May I kindly ask you to elaborate please.
Thanks,
Jan
sorry, I just help out here I’m not a bbpress author and this is at the limit of my knowledge.
As far as I can see this page just uses the standard forum display templates
Fair enough Robin.
Any thoughts on how to connect to to bbpress authors directly on this?
I’ve been kicking this round from time to time in an effort to get to a solution.
This is close to what you want I hope
download this file, unzip and FTP to your child theme’s bbpress folder
Taxonomy like search
sorry, you’ll need to kick this round yourself if you want to alter layout, but it should be close
I wanted to asked for a similar query. But it seems i have to look somewhere else. BTW, Thanks for all your efforts in providing the solution. Regards, Etarasai
that link in my last post will get you a list as a solution
