bbPress adds a prefix in the META title of Forum and Topic pages. Please tell how to remove that?

For example, see the META title of these pages:

1. http://www.androidpakistan.com/forums/android-apps-games/

2. http://www.androidpakistan.com/topic/facebook-for-android/

I believe this has been asked before, but no clear answer. I’d really appreciate if someone would help me get this fixed.

Thanks!

Using the bbp_title filter you can change or modify the titles if you want.

However there is no quick switch to turn that off unfortunately.

How do I use that filter? Please guide me to a link/documentation where I can read on its usage. Thanks for the quick reply!

[Jared Atchison]

You would use add_filter. Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

You can see how the title is constructed if you look at bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php starting around like 2026 or so. Look for function bbp_title().

Thanks a lot jaredatch! I just fixed them

[Jared Atchison]

No problem.

Hopefully in a future release (2.2) this will be a bit easier and their will be some direct filters in place

[Haris Nadeem]

That would be really great!

One more thing, can you please tell how can I remove this box from the FORUM page and similarly from the TOPIC page? http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/6052/bbpre.jpg

It depends on what your setup is, however you should be able to put this in your theme’s function.php and get it to work. The reason I know this is because I’m doing it on one of my bbPress installs.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description','ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description','ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

return '';

}

Thanks! That perfectly worked with my theme as well
