@Brain, I haven't done this. But I'm sure this can be done. As website url will be stored in DB, you can retrieve it and replace the profile link with the url link. Nice idea. @Kevin, comment means, those commented lines will not be executed by PHP engine. That is, those commented lines will be skipped from being executed. I know those code already exists, so you have to comment it like I have shown in above article. By doing so, you'll be making those commented lines of code not to be executed. hope I'm clear.

Hello, thanks for the article however I have NO IDEA what you mean by “comment this code”… The code is already there so do you mean delete that code… Or you saying to place that code there? Which if you are then its already there so its not working!

Now Satish Im using a Themeforest Theme called Dynamix which comes with a Child Theme and already has most of this done. Still nothing!

Would love your thoughts!

Hello again, I was able to figure out how to customize the look of my forum, thank you! I have one more question. I know you offer custom bbPress setups for a fee, and I will pay you if necessary, but I’m hoping this one will be easy.

Right now within a reply, a user’s avatar links to a nonexistent bbPress profile page. Can I change that link to show the “website” link that the user typed into their WordPress profile?

Thank you,
Brian

I have not created a child theme. Every time I try, it wipes out the theme I have setup (yoko). I have even looked up Child themes on the Worpdress.org page and followed those instructions. I will try again….

Thanks,
Brian

@Brain, I need to know more details to suggest changes. Have you created child-theme? If not, create one. It's so easy. Follow the steps mentioned in the article. Once you create a child-theme, create a file called sidebar.php and drop it inside your child-theme. Over rite if already exists. That might solve the problem. ps: Our new bbpress service

Thanks for your quick reply!

There is no page-front-forums.php or page-front-topics.php files inside of the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/ folder. Those files exist in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/ I edited those and it didn’t make any change.

Thanks,
Brian

@Brain, yes. There is a way.

Simply go into /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/ folder.

Then comment these line of code /* < ?php get_sidebar(); ?> */ inside
page-front-forums.php and page-front-topics.php files.

That’s it. Let me know, if it worked

I am having the EXACT same problem with bbPress. I have followed your fix exactly, plus I have read the 5 page forum discussion on the topic as well. I like the way bbPress is looking, I just want to hide the side bar on the topics page. So, I don’t understand why I need to create a child theme. Is there a way to get rid of the side bar without going through all of the child theme stuff?

Thanks!
Brian
