I was wondering if there were a way to not have a topic’s content appear in its own box at the top of the reply list. Ditto for the forum content (in other words, the HTML that output using bbp_topic_content() and bbp_forum_content() respectively).
The built-in bbPress styling shows the topic and forum content in a box that has the same (or very simiar) styling as replies. In my case, I’d like to remove the box so that the content appears as though it’s the lead-in text of a page (with H2s, H3s and so forth) with the replies + reply form below.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Idea / potential solution 1)
I found that I can do this:
add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'show_text');
function show_text() {
ob_start();
echo '<div class="my_class">';
add_action ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'do_shortcode'); // added b/c the content may have shortcodes
bbp_topic_content();
echo '</div>';
$output = ob_get_clean();
echo $output;
}
But this results in the topic content appearing in both the “top” of the page (as I’d prefer) and in its box listed with the replies (which I’d like to remove).
Idea / potential solution 2)
I’m guessing there’s something I can do with a template. If so, can someone direct me to how my plug-in can override bbPress’s template? I haven’t done a lot of template work.
Troubleshooting
– All themes have this “extra box” issue.
– Using WP 4.9.8
– Using bbPress 2.5.14-6684
– I’m working on a local site, so I can’t provide a link
Can anyone tell me how to add the thumbtack and the paperclip attachment icons like you see in this forum? https://www.activemelody.com/forums/forum/active-melody-guitar-lessons-2/
Also, can anyone recommend a good plugin that’ll show recent forum posts just like you see on that page as well?
Thanks!
Dear Buddypress community,
I’m facing hard time to simply add space between topic tabs using the bbp-topic-index shortcode.
I only found this post with a reply on this problem here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/space-between-posts/
However, the solution given seems either outdated either wrong because there is no such things as topic.php in my bbpress or theme directory.
I cannot find the template (.php) used to render the topics index table and I tried adding margin through CSS but none worked.
I see the topics list is designed as table using tr and td but don’t know how to customize it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Sincerely,
Hello,
I just installed bbpress on my site (greenteacoffeedate.com) and noticed that it hides notifications from another plugin in user’s profile. It does not hide standard BP notifications like, someone sent you a message or commented on your activity post (in BP, not BB). The plugin in question is this one and it’s no longer supported so I can’t reach out to the plugin designer. So members can’t see who viewed their profile in notifications.

I looked at the code in my Chrome inspector and this is what happens. Please see linked image:

So I can see that the description is turned off ( the one on top) but where do I turn it back on (like in the bottom yellow rectangle). I tried to play with display tag in css but it doesn’t seem to do it. Any thoughts?
Hi 1) when users login they are directed to the home page. Can I set it so they are taken to the forum page instead? 2) How to hide admin sidebar? Right now when they login they can go to a minimized version of the dashboard – where they can see things I’d rather them not as well as Jetpack for some reason. I’d like to give them access to the forum page only. Is that possible? THANK you so much!
I have implemented an image attachment function using “GD bbPress Attachments”.
However, since we only want to implement it in the topic creation form, we do not need it on the reply form.
Could you teach me how to do this please?
Thanks.
Hi, the sidebar widget does not look right. The text is not aligned with the text entry boxes for the login. I tried the previous suggestions of adding Css and that did not work. Can you help?

Would anyone know why my “Archives” title is appearing on my “forums” permalink/slug, and how to get rid of it?

I installed bbpress on my wordpress site and it looks like this:
https://ibb.co/fRQMSU
https://ibb.co/bu3mu9
It doesn’t look remotely good like it does on this website.
I use the theme “Twenty Sixteen” along with the plugin “Customize Twenty Sixteen”
I also use “LearnDash”.
Can somebody tell me what could be the reason for the strange looking page?
Hi there,
If someone is writing a response to a forum post, and someone else in this time has posted a new response to the same post, is it possible to get a notification (when you go to publish your response) that someone in the mean time has posted something new?
