bbp Private Groups is messing up my Theme

hmm. Not having a copy of that theme, nor your settings it is hard to say.

For my plugin not to display items, I extensively reply on the original bbpress files to hook changes to. Your theme text says ‘has also totally redesigned bbPress so it now looks like a traditional forum.’

so it is not surprising that the two aren’t working.

Without knowing what the theme has changed it is impossible to help.

In the Theme Folder socialize/bbpress there are only 2 files.

loop-forums.php

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop

 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>

</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

the problem is in loop-single-forum.php, which has a function

ghostpool_bbp_list_forums

in it.

I can only suggest that you rename both of these files – eg add say old to them to have
loop-single-forum-old.php and loop-forums-old.php

that will stop them being used and revert to the original bbpress templates, and see if that fixes.

If it makes it worse, you can just rename them back again.

nothing further heard – marking as resolved
