Hello all,

So I finally managed to get bbPress up and running. As suggested, I copied all the template files inside bbPress plugin directory to my active theme. However, I want something better.

I came across this website http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes and I really like the first template. I downloaded and extracted it. There are many .php files and one style css. Can I do the same thing and copy these files to bbPress folder of my theme?

Also, how do I remove Topic: and Forum: slug at the title of the page? Where should I enter the filter code?

unfortunately bbshowcase was for the standalone version 1 of bbpress and doesn’t work with the wordpress plugin version.

Not sure where you got that from. Only if you want to alter templates do you need to copy templates to a bbpress directory, and then only those you wish to change.

Also, how do I remove Topic: and Forum: slug at the title of the page?

Can you specify exactly what you want to remove – a screenshot would be good

Hello,

When you open this topic, you can see at the tab bar on top there is “Topic: How to install new template”. Can can I remove the “Topic” word so only the title of the topic is displayed?

Also, where can I find some premade templates?

And lastly, how can I add sub Forums.
So the main Forum is Android, and when you click on Android, there are more forums like Apps, Games, Phones etc.

What about pre made templates?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

bbpress 2.x uses your themes template for most of it’s css

Can’t I replace it with another one?

yes if you have the knowledge and skills to write one !

And how do I remove Topic:

I’ve not tested but believe this will do it

function my_generate_titles( $new_title ){
        // reset the format to title only
	$new_title['format'] = '%s';
	return $new_title;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_title_parse_args', 'my_generate_titles' );

come back and let us know if it does or doesn’t
