Hi there, using WP 5.3.2, bbPress 2.6.3
I would like to get rid of email and website fields when users are about to create a new topic. It is not related with my site theme and I don’t want to liaise with GDPR stuff either.

Here’s a screenshot

Thanks beforehand.

Solved by deleting the code lines on wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

great – glad you are fixed, but you would do better to pout the amended version I your theme, else it will be overwritten by bbpress updates

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

Then transfer the file you changed above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Do you mean moving the file to the new directory instead of having it copied from one to the other folder, right?

[Robin W]

it exists in both.

Then original exists in the bbpress folder, and is updated by bbpress updates

The amended sits in your child theme folder

Got it, thanks.
