Hello,
I’m looking for some help adding taxonomies dropdown selectors for Topics (in frontend).
I understand I can treat Topics as custom post type. So I added my taxonomies with register_taxonomy() without any problem.

Now I need to add these taxonomies selectors in frontend form (in New Topic Form / Edit Topic form)

Can anyone give me some help please?

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit as needed

and save

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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Thank you Robin,

I created form-topic.php in my theme and added my taxonomies dropbox in the new/edit topic form.
The form is the original one

<form id=”new-post” name=”new-post” method=”post”>
…

Can you explain me in which file the system saves the data sent on submit?
And how to override or extend the save topic method to save also the values of the custom taxonomies?
Thank You!!!!

This article explains it quite well and the save hooks

add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );

are still there
