How to add search bar and Breadcrumbs for Forum?

    @zvonfeng

    I want to have a search bar and Breadcrumbs for my Forums but can’t find place to set up. I wonder is there a Forum.php thing or I will have to use a plugin to do all those? Or there is a setting area that I didn’t find out?

    Also there is a problem with the forum. For example, I have A and B forums and I created a topic in A, then when I open B forum, the A topic will show up in B, too! Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a way for me to fix it?

    Any help would be appreciate!

    you should have breadcrumbs and searchbar by default

    for searchbar look in

    dashboard<settings>forums>forum features and make sure that ‘search’ is ticked.

    Your theme can prevent breadcrumbs from showing, as can other plugins

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Thank you for helping!

    I think the problem was Theme after the steps you showed me.
    I will contact Theme support to fix that part.

    But the other problem is still there:
    For example, I have A and B forums and I created a topic in A, then when I open B forum, the A topic will show up in B, too.
    But I don’t want A’s topic showing up in B. How do I do that?

    Is the issue there with all plugins disabled AND a default theme?

    ok, just had a look

    You have made that topic ‘super sticky’ – which is why it is appearing at the top of every forum

    Change to sticky to get at the top of just the forum it belongs to

    or normal to be just a topic

    are you using pieces of this theme https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte

    or did your theme come with that kind of forum layout??

    because it says you need to install the search everything plugin for the search bar to appear.

    and also i see breadcrumbs by the title.

    other than that if you did take parts of the Supportte theme it would be harder to customize than the default bbPress theme.

    Oh ok! Now I know what super sticky does now. Thank you very much!
    The problem with search bar and Breadcrumbs, I have to show Title of the page to also let Breadcrumbs to show. So i was able to compromise that.

    I am still waiting for answer from my Theme support to figure out how to put search bar on there.


    @Robkk

    No, I used HB Highend.
    I don’t know what knid layout my theme has for Forum, but the layout of forum is pretty poor looking from Highend.

    And yea, I had to compromise to show my page title if I want breadcrumbs, so it was able to show up now.

    I have ticked the option Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics. But the link for subscribing to forums is not displayed.

    Breadcrumbs are being shown in my page title, but without the subscribe link.

    Without the page title, the breadcrumbs aren’t shown at all. Does anyone know if this is due to the theme I’m using (Avada)?

    I would like my members to be able to subscribe to forums. Does anyone know how I can add the required link?

    try this first

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    if the issue is only happening when only avada is the current theme then contact avada for help putting it back.
