I am looking for a way to not have the login form not show on Forum and Topic pages to un-logged in users.
Note: I have some scripting background but not a lot. Thanks in advance for any help.

link to an example on your site please

[Rob]

Here is a page showing the form: Forum Sample Along with this sample of a post page Post Page

I am thinking this is getting called from a page template, but not sure. Basically what I want is for everything below the ‘User must be logged in’ to not show.

it come from

bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php

are you fine with FTP and changing files – if so I’ll give you intructions

[Rob]

Let’s give it a go

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

FTP transfer this to your pc and edit

find starting from line 254

<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

and delete these lines

and save

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 saved 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-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Thank You

One last question, I noticed that the font size on the forum/topics is very small, is there an easy spot to fix this in the css?

[Robin W]

bbPress Styling Crib

or

bbp style pack

[Rob]

Ok, got this done. It works on topic list page: Lists of Topics

But, on Topic Post
I am still getting the form, is this pulling from another template?

[Robin W]

oops yes there is also a form-reply.php which has the same – it’s in the same directory

[Rob]

Found it, thanks for all the help. This was confusing my users as they are all 65+

glad to have helped 🙂

Hi
Another solution
add to your css :

form.bbp-login-form {
    display: none!important;
}
