Thanks in advance!

Hi Johan, goede avond,

I suppose you can copy the content-single-forum.php to your own child theme and modify it accordingly.

Hello,
You could try something like this. Place this code before the ending </html> tag in your footer.php file of your theme.

<script>
jQuery($('.bbp-topic-form').insertAfter('#subscription-toggle');
</script>

Oh thanks for answering.

Hmm i don’t have a footer.php file haha?
Or am i looking at the wrong place perhaps..?
What do i do then?

My knowledge of wordpress and html is so crappy and my english is also crappy, please describe in much details haha.

Thanks 🙂

Hello,
Do you have a theme footer.php file? Appearance, Themes, Editor? Everyone has that.

Thanks.

[@bj87 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Then i am at the right place. But i don’t have any .php file that say footer in it what so ever haha, i’m serious…. :S

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Can you please share your site URL? I don’t know how it is possible to not have a footer file.

Thanks.

The forum is here and as you can se the post box is at the bottom

http://www.barabajen.se/forums/topic/bara-bajens-forum/

It’s swedish. I have never touched one php file ever. Maybe we use deafault or something…i don’t know

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Sorry, I was trying to ask you to link to the theme but failed. Your theme does have a footer, now we just have to find the file.

Thanks.

[@bj87 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

I use Avada fusion as theme i think. I have looked for avada footer fusion footer and footer of any kind, but noting 🙁 🙁

I do suck at this with wordpress and editing.

[@bj87 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hey i found it!!! It was translated to my language swedish, but in the little small text under it it says footer hehe dumbass Johan!

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I would just edit the template, I could not make my code work either.

Thanks.

[@bj87 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

So where should i place that code again?

It looks like this in my footer.php at the end, already another script also…

// Echo the scripts added to the "before </body>" field in Theme Options
		echo Avada()->settings->get( 'space_body' );
		?>

		<!--[if lte IE 8]>
			<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/assets/js/respond.js"></script>
		<![endif]-->
	</body>
</html>

[@bj87 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Help the last time, where should i paste that code you wrote in?

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Please insert this code in a mu-plugin. Using FTP, create a folder named “mu-plugins” in the /wp-content directory without the quotes. Then create a file named what ever you want with a .php extention. For example, example-plugin.php.

<?php
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'reposition_selector' );
function reposition_selector() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
var htmlString = jQuery('.bbp-topic-form').html();
jQuery('.bbp-topic-form').css('display','none');
jQuery( "<div class='bbp-topic-form'>"+htmlString+"</div>" ).insertBefore( "#subscription-toggle" );
		});
	</script>
    <?php
}

Thanks.

@bj87

Do what @casiepa said and just put the bbPress template content-single-forum.php in a folder called bbpress in your child theme, and edit the file.

A guide like this would help you figure out how you can customize the bbPress default theme in a child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

Just make your file look similar to this gist.

@tech55541 thanks for helping out in a few topics in the support forums, but your code shows undefined messages in the user profile subscriptions section if you are subscribed to a forum.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

@robkk, I am quite a new coder, I will have to test it later and figure out what is wrong.

Thanks.

Hi, jumping into this conversation.

What Johan is asking for is to put the reply box into the top of a single topic.

What line in content-single-forum.php and/or content-single-topic.php is it that defines the (position of the) replybox?

Thanks

[@tapirk Participant 8 years, 8 months ago]

When it comes to getting the reply box on top in single forum it seems to work out fine. Can´t just figure out what to change in the content-single-topic.php to make the same things happen.

1. Does anyone know how to move the reply box in bbpress forum from the bottom to the top!? I tried to code but it does not work for me!!?
2. Is it possible to make the reply box as it is in the activity page? (which is very small and handy)
Thank you!

[@marcono Participant 8 years, 5 months ago]

No one around! 🙁
