Hi,
Never edit bbpress templates directly in the bbpress folder, otherwise you will loose your changes when bbPress updates.
There are several ways that I know of, but the most easy one would probably be by installing my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin.
Or you play with CSS yourself:
.bbp-template-notice {
display: none;
}
.bbp-template-notice.info,
.bbp-template-notice.error,
.bbp-template-notice.important,
.bbp-template-notice.warning {
display: block;
}
Not that also other similar messages will disappear with the above.
And if you want to modify bbPress files, please check the codex (https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/) and/or create a child theme

I installed the plug-in and changed the words but it still doesn’t work, it’s still showing the original message. 🙁
What I want to change is “Oh bother! No search results were found here!” , not “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” which is what your plug-in changes. This is what I want to edit:
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-search.php (inactive)
but it’s marked as “inactive” so what does that mean?
or, look at it another way, is there a way to make the “Search Forums” widget invisible unless you are logged in? I notice that you can’t see some of the widgets unles you’re logged in. That’s what would be ideal for me. This is a private site for members only so I don’t want the general public to be seeing anything except the front page message.
Okay, maybe this then:
CSS:
.bbp-search-form {
display:none !important;
}
Also check the option called ‘Search’ in your dashboard: ‘Settings > Forums > Forum Features’

It’s no good, I can’t find anything like what you’re talking about. The only thing I can find is this: bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-search.php (inactive) which is clearly the thing I want to edit but it’s marked as “inactive” so editing it doesn’t have any effect.
I’m going to have to find a different plug-in, I haven’t time for this. But thanks anyway and have a cup of coffee on me!
Hmmm, I’m getting the ‘Oops’ page, not the ‘Oh Bother’ … So that’s the 404 page.
If your forums are private, check if my replies here help: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/
EDIT: Thanks for the coffee !!!
Pascal.
I already found your other thread, which was also helpful. I’ve ended up getting a very simple plug-in which is all I need. (I hope)
