hello there!

trying to setup a bbpress forum!

i managed to create an homepage with the latest topics.

I want to add the <span class=”bbp-topic-started-in”> (found this using chrome inspect) near the “started by” like it’s made here in the support forum!

i think it’s rpetty crucial to show what forum the topic belong to, i have to idea where to start, any advice or pointer would be great

thanks a lot!

The file you are looking for that has this code should be part of the templates you can customize if you copy the file loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin to your child theme.

You may need to refresh any cache if you cannot see any changes appear.

The original code in loop-single-topic.php from \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

Has this code. Which makes it not show up in single forum pages, so it is only visible in topics created section in your forum profile, forum search, and the topic archive on yoursite.com/topics. You may need to remove the conditional if you want to always have it visible.

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() || ( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

i cut the ifs but nothing happens, should have said this before, i am in no mean a programmer i did this

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

is this correct?

Oh I forgot, put the customized loop-single-topic.php you have to a folder called bbpress in your child theme. bbPress should then use that file, and you should see the changes immediately.
