Better category layout for BBPress?

[Bob1nz]

Hey there

I purchased this theme almost a year ago but never really put it into a live website.
The main reason for that was the way that bbpress is laid out.

I was wondering if it is in your plans to customise bbpress’s layout to display like most of the other forum scripts do (Example image attached). eg smf, xenforo, phpbb and so on and so forth

I had a muck around with it back when I got it and got it looking somewhat “normal” but I’m not very good with this code stuff and it ended up breaking badly as I had little to no clue what I was really doing.

Is this something that you would consider implementing into buddyboss?

Well I have the linked loop-forums.php in my child theme (buddyboss-child/bbpress/loop-forums.php)
and it achieves nearly what I want.
Any thoughts on this?

bbPress is always a problem. And I really hope they will make fast progress in development as otherwise… They are quite outdated compared to other solutions…

bbPress is becoming so troublesome.

@tjchester I have switched all my clients to gravity is that a good move to go away from BBpress

@cwilliams I can’t say. The same developers that bring us BuddyPress also bring us bbPress, but if there is a group of developers that want to make a better forums then full speed ahead. However if it is a free plugin watch out if they ever tire or decide to stop updating the plugin. I know bbPress will always be updated as long as BuddyPress is being actively developed.
