Hello

I want to hide sub-parents and display the main parent only. As seen in the picture below, i want to remove those categories that i circled with the red color.

Also, i want to remove that blue bar that shows how many posts are in the forum and says the forum is empty. In short, i circled everything that i want to remove in red.

Thank you in advance!

Ok, you need to amend some templates and put these into your child theme

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

Sub-forum removal

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this to remove the sub forums

line 44 says <?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

delete this line and the sub forums will go !

forum posts

do the same as above, but for content-single-forum

and then take out line 26 that says

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

Hey Robin.

Your tips were specific and very useful. Thank you very much! It worked like a charm!

Im looking for the same thing but Im having issues getting in FTP, Ug I hate this host! while I understand some FTP and how it works Ive never made a new directory. ha ha. I cannot get in with theirs or filezilla.

Is there any other fix outside ftp? Someone here I can pay to do this?

Ive tried various plugins, etc, stuff I found here. Ive been searching this thing for a couple weeks now. ha ha

in FileZilla you right click whilst pointing at the directory you want to create a sub in.

I cold cut a plugin for you, but it would be at least a week before I could do this – contact me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk
