Hi,

I’m using bbPress and was wondering how I could remove the freshness column.

Thank you!

hmm

you’ll need to alter several files, so general first

altering bbpress templates

You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.

so if you wanted to amend loop-single-forum you would do the following

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

files

There may be others, but

loop-forums (forum headings)
loop-single forum (forum content)
loop-topics (single forum heading)
loop-single-topic (single forum content)

will get you most of the way there

Hi,

Thank you very much for answering!
I have created the folder and copied the file. But i’m very new to php, and are not sure what to do next… Do I just have to delete the freshness-column sections in the php? Or won’t that work?

I have seen this, and will respond, but I need to do paid work first. I am only a volunteer on here.

so from forums loop remove

<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

and from loop single forum remove

<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

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

		<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>

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

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

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

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

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

		</p>
	</li>

I’ll let you work out the topics
