copy loop-forums.php from plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress into your theme directory, overwrite whats in the file with this code. bbpress will look for the file first in your theme before it looks in the bbpress directory, that way if bbpress updates, you won’t lose the file update. Should get the look you want
<?php

@kvr28 great looking modification. Just tried it and it fell over with a parse error :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in….line 44
which is
bbp_has_forums(‘post_parent=’.bbp_get_forum_id());
Any ideas?
I’m also getting a parse error… Line 40
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home1/kushman/public_html/wp-content/themes/farmer/bbpress/loop-forums.php on line 40
Any ideas?
the site I’m getting the error on is kylekushman.com/forum
I’m not sure, I thought I had found that as a example on here somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it, it’s what I use on my forum and I’m not getting any errors, I just found this example and just tried it on my testing site and it works well, see if it gives you any errors
https://code.google.com/p/ogre3d-fr/source/browse/wp-content/themes/ogre3d/bbpress/loop-forums.php?r=25
also lynq made a pretty sweet template pack, maybe try that and see if you like the look
I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel
Downloaded the template pack, and added the css that you posted in the other thread,
everything seems to looks good, except 1 thing…
Please take a look….http://kylekushman.com/forum/
Where it says “Directions for using the Message Board” right below the tabs. Anyway to place this in its own grey table field just like where is says write below Cannabis Cultivation….?
