Hello,

Just found this support forum….great to find you!!

How the heck do I permanently remove/disable “Oh, bother! No topics were found here.” and it’s accompanying yellow box??

I tried plugins, moving files, nothing worked. I would like it gone, regardless it there are topics or no topics!

Thanks.

the easiest way is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling and tick item 16 don’t show this message

if you want to do it using FTP then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

transfer this to your pc and remove

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
	<ul>
		<li><?php esc_html_e( 'Oh, bother! No topics were found here.', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
	</ul>
</div>

and save (this file must exist, but we just make it empty!)

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/feedback-no-topics.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
