I should have been clear and indicated that I mean I want this facility at the point where you get to all the posts; I would like to see all listed and have the ability to expand or collapse, plus remove the avatar
thank you,

Yes it can be done, but you’d need to have some coding skills.
You’d need to amend loop-single-reply.
Start by creating a directory called “bbpress” under you theme directory
ie
wp-content/themes/what-every-yourtheme-is/bbpress
and copy this file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
to it
This file is then used by a higher loop to display the topic and replies as you now see them, with avatars and all the content.
You can then amend this file to display as a single line items, presumably with a post link attached.
Hi all,
Robin suggested that it is possible to expand and collapse the replies in a thread. However my php skills are rudimentary so I am wondering if someone has the solution?
This is what I want – in perfect world:
- to allow replies to have a title (they do in the back end but never when the user is posting)
- to display a thread as a collapsed, and indented, list using the title (or first line if titles proves impossible) as the default view
- to offer an expand “button” to allow the user to see the full text of anything that is collapsed
- to offer a collapse”button” to allow the user to collapse and expanded item
- to complete the usability it would be good to have a config parameter that the user sets to indicate if he wants collapsed or expanded threads as default – but this is a plug-in change, I include it here for completeness
If anyone has don anything similar please share it, I think it may be a good addition to the dev requests in the long-run?
Thank you……… liz
I have yet to look closely at the code in each of the following plugin (I’m scared of Javascript, jQuery and AJAX ;)) though they might be a good starter for the functionality you are after.
bbPress – Ajax Replies and bbPress – Ajax Topics
