Hi,

It’s easiest to show a visual of what’s going on, but when you click on “Forums” in the breadcrumb, you get a page showing a search of some sort, with no data…this is a fresh forum with some dummy threads, but not much else. Is this supposed to be what’s showing up? How do I fix or override.

Also, there’s no spacing between the words in the breadcrumb, how do I make this better looking? I’ve already tried using a plugin to change the word “Home” to a – because I don’t want a home link, but the plugin didn’t help in terms of spacing.

Using the latest version of BBpress and WP.

ok, on your breadcrumb issue see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

On your weird forums page, given that it says “continue reading” I suspect that your theme is treating this as a post, and just giving what it thinks is an ‘excerpt’.

I’d suggest you next try setting up a page called ‘forums’ and using [bbp-forum-index] to get it to render. ie

method 2

If this doesn’t work, then come back

Thank you. The Subscribe link is now moved over.

Still working on the forums page and ultimately would like more control over the breadcrumb, like changing the Home URL, or removing Home alltogether, in which I’ve used another plugin to turn it into a dash.

I tried the creating a forum page trick you linked to and mentioned, here’s a screenshot. http://take.ms/P50mX

Page still loads weird search data -> http://take.ms/fBaV7

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks for this info!

So, the bbpress.php page worked, its loading the correct forums looking page now, no sidebar, but I can add that into this page. I see how it works.

The breadcrumbs code unfortunately does not work, causes a parse error if I try to add the second part, this one http://take.ms/JKeuq

The first part works, but if I add the second part, it breaks. If I just have the second part, it breaks….has this code become outdated?

[@robgranholm Participant 10 years, 7 months ago]

Nevermind, fixed the second code, it’s missing a );

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 7 months ago]

great – so you’re fixed ?

[@robgranholm Participant 10 years, 7 months ago]

I’m fixed! Thanks again.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 7 months ago]

great !
