I like how the subforums list looks in the threaded layout but I don't like having the topics threaded on the front page. Is there a way to get the subforums list to look like that on the simplified layout and not have the topics threaded?

If not, maybe at least a css code to make the subforum titles larger larger would help.

Edit: Okay I found this https://wpforo.com/docs/root/forum-themes/theme-customization/
So would I copy the topic.php from the simplified folder and put it in threaded to not have the topics show on front page? Or maybe there's a subforum thing that can be moved from the threaded theme to the simplified theme?

Hi @pluggercat,

Try to create custom post list layout in upgrade safe way. 

1. Create /wpforo/ folder in your current active theme folder.

2. Create /layouts/ folder in /wpforo/ folder

3. Create /4/ folder in /wpforo/layouts/ folder

4. Then copy simplified layout post template file ( posts.php ) to this /wpforo/layouts/4/ folder. You can find the template file in /wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/layouts/2/ directory.

Thank you. I'm new to wordpress as well as the forum so just want to verify I have this right before messing with files.

I have wp/wp-content/themes and WPFORO/wp-content/themes/

The active theme is in the latter so I create WPFORO/wp-content/themes/activetheme/wpforo/layouts/4/

And then just copy posts.php into that.

Sorry, I just want to be sure I don't make a stupid mistake

@pluggercat

the /wpforo/ folder you should create in the /wp-content/themes/your-current-active-theme folder
