Hi all, I have been playing on and off with WordPress, BBPress and Buddypress, mostly to build my own company website.

I have almost completed my quest to make BBpress as functional and user friendly as any other major, paid for, forum software offers, and I think I have even improved to my own preference and proven that BBpress is capable to be better then any commercial package.

Please review my website, I have a demo account as you need to be logged in for all the plugins and hacks to be visible.

I have added quite a few plugins and function snippets, I do not know how to code php or javascript, just basic html and css for the rest I cut and paste until it works, although I do understand what I am looking at with php after 4 years of cut-and-paste…lol

Here are a few screenshots:

Category pages show titles of last reply/post.

Topics can hold images and have a like system.

Profile pages are beefed up a bit.

Activity wall with likes, images and forum list on left side.

Good job! It seems you got inspiration 😈 lol

I suggest redirect login page after login because you see an empty page with bbpress link on top.

Hi @arutam

I tried to get to that empty page but my login redirect works for me and few others, we are redirected to the activity page.

The only way to get to that page is to type that actual url once logged in.

It seems I need to do a little study on how to make that page look different when already logged in.

Thanks for pointing it out.

P.H.

I really like what you’ve done. I’m struggling to make changes to several areas and it looks like you’ve managed to get it perfect!

Specifically the “latest post / freshness” changes on the forum index. I love how its formatted with picture on left, followed by forum and dates. Also the Replies: Views: changed on each section is really nice too 🙂

Any chance you would share the template changes, it would really help me achieve similar results and learn how you got there.

Cheers 🙂

Hi @brent0r
I made the following adjustment in my child-theme´s loop-single-forum.php and styled with CSS.
This code will place all elements in the right order to have simple CSS adjustments make it all work as expected.

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum

 * @package bbPress

?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

<li class="bbp-forum-info">
	<div class="forumtitle">

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
