Hello guys, i just installed bbpress on my theme called:hadron-multi-purpose-wordpress-theme and i am using wp 4.3.1 version of wordpress and latest version of bb press as well as at 15/11/15.
what i wan is that i want to arange my sub-forum verically instead of horizontal and also i have uploaded all the bbpress plogins such asbbpress new topic plugin,bbpress private replies,bbpress report contents,better bbpress signature. so how do i make them function?
Thanks

Hi,
For your question about ‘arange my sub-forum verically instead of horizontal’, you can add this code in a child theme or your own plugin or functions.php file (Remove the // twice if you also want to hide the counters):

add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'bbppc_bbpress_list_forums' );
function bbppc_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args['separator']        = '<br>';
	// $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
	// $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
	return $args;
}

For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.

Pascal.

Thanks Casiapa for your contribution.
The question here is; could you please explain to me how to create a child plugin for bbpres so that i can make the changes or if i can get blank bbpress child plugin will appreciate.
i know how to create child theme for all kind of themes but i have never create plugin because if i didn’t create my own plugin for bbpress, during updates, all modifications will be a waste of time.
Thanks

[seyibest]

Thanks man its works.
I jut copy and paste it into my child theme function.php

Thanks
But please how do i differentiate the main forum from the subforum. i mean, is there anyway i can bolder/color the main forum from subforum?

Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

What exactly do you want to do ? Play with background colors ?
If it’s a public site, please include the URL so people here can propose you things directly working on your site.

Pascal.

[seyibest]

yes. I want to change the bbpress forum and subforum background color.

The Url: http://www.guruscrib.net

[Pascal Casier]

Hmm, nothing comes to my mind directly. Maybe with a plugin like https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-new-ui ?

I also saw a lot of ‘Oh bother no topics’ and other messages. You can always use my bbP Toolkit to hide those.

Pascal.

Thanks Pasca, Though i am actually doing what you said above.
Please how do i activate these plugins:
bbPress – Private Replies
bbPress – Report Content
bbPress New Topics
Better bbPress Signature
gp bbpress attachement
Please how do i configure these plugins to work because these features are not showing.
Also, please hoe do i customise the forum for users to upload image of there choice?
Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

As said above:
For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.
If they do not work, then you need to ask on the forums of those plugins.

For the avatars, you can start reading here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/faq/user-avatars/

Thank you Pascal.
I installed the plugin but the arrangment i made to subforum, all scattered.
i have uninstalled it already hoping to get a better option later.

But man, check my site http://www.guruscrib.net you will notice the login,register,forget password on the menu bar.
so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like “http://rush-hour-crush.co.uk”?

and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?

Thanks so much man.
you the boom.lol

@seyibest Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like

They added custom menu item links in the menu section. You can create links leading to the WordPress login/register forms. There is also this php code snippet here to add links, you might need to add a conditional to it for a specific menu.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rkk_add_auth_links', 10 , 2 );
function rkk_add_auth_links( $items, $args ) {
    if (is_user_logged_in() {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
    }
    elseif (!is_user_logged_in() {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword') .'">Lost Password</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}

There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]

The plugin bbP Toolkit is mention on these posts.

I’ve installed bbP Toolkit, but do not know how to access its’ settings.

I’ve installed it on a MultiSite installation.

Could someone give me directions to access its settings?
