This is both feedback and a request.

I’m working on simplifying the UI of a Commmons In A Box site, which means I’m working with both BuddyPress and bbPress. While working on the group/forum page, I found that the forum title is hard coded as a simple h3 with no selectors into wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php at line 767. This is just before the content-single-forum template call.

My request is that the forum title be moved from groups.php and into content-single-forum.php where it can be customized through the normal child theme process. Let me know if there is a better place than here to file this as an issue.

Thanks!

I am just a humble user, so can’t comment on changing core code, but is it is styling capability you want you could filter the actual title eg

add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_title', 'rew_title');

function rew_title () {

$title = '<span class="rew">.$title.'</span>' ;

return $title ;

}

Thanks, Robin, that’s helpful.

In my case I wanted to remove that title and was able to do so with

#bbpress-forums > h3 {
    display: none;
}

But that feels like a workaround and it was a long hunt to find this bit of the UI in what I would think of as core code. I’ll make my suggestion in the trac.
