    This is my bbPress forum – https://ofpad.com/community

    I am trying to make it function like this support forum.

    More specifically I am trying to add one specific features

    The search bar along with the open support topics and forum profile buttons on the right of the search bar.

    The screenshot is taken from this forum.

    Here is what I have done so far to get to where I am now.

    My bbPress CSS Code is the following:

    #bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
    display: block;
    }
    
    #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form {
    	border: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    }
    
    div.bbp-submit-wrapper {
    	float: none;
    }
    
    .bbp-replies .bbp-header,
    .bbp-replies .bbp-footer ,

    }

    li.bbp-body div.type-reply {
    	margin-bottom: 30px;

    I have also used the Code Snippet plugin to add some PHP code to my functions.php file. Here is the PHP Code I have inserted:

    //Removes the sub-forum topic and reply count
    function remove_counts() {
    $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
    $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
    $args['count_sep'] = '';
    return $args;
    }
    add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );
    
    //Removes Breadcrumbs
    //add_filter( 'bbp_no_breadcrumb', '__return_true' );
    
    //Change Breadcrumbs Text
    function change_bread_crumbs_text( $args = array() ) {
    $args['root_text'] = 'Community';
    return $args;
    }
    add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'change_bread_crumbs_text' );
    
    //Add descriptions to subforums
    function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
    
    	// Define used variables
    	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
    	$i = 0;
    	$count = array();
    
    	// Parse arguments against default values
    	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
    		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    		'after'             => '</ul>',

    		'count_sep'         => ', ',
    		'separator'         => ' ',
    		'forum_id'          => '',
    		'show_topic_count'  => true,
    		'show_reply_count'  => true,
    	), 'list_forums' );
    
    	// Loop through forums and create a list
    	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
    	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {
    
    		// Total count (for separator)
    		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
    		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
    			$i++; // Separator count
    
    			// Get forum details
    			$count     = array();
    			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
    			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
    			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

    How do I incorporate the search feature along with the buttons into my bbpress forum?

    Thank you in advance for all the help.

    Here’s the function we’re using for the search bar:

    add_action( 'generate_before_content', function() {
    	if ( is_page( 'support' ) || ( function_exists( 'is_bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) ) :
    		?>
    		<div class="account-info">
    			<ul>
    				<li><?php echo do_shortcode( '[ bbp-search-form ]' ); ?></li>
    				<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
    					<li><a class="button ghost" href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>/support/#new-post">Open Support Topic</a></li>
    					<?php if ( function_exists( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url' ) ) : ?>
    						<li><a class="button ghost" href="<?php echo bbp_get_user_profile_url( get_current_user_id() ); ?>">Forum Profile</a></li>
    					<?php endif; ?>
    				<?php else : ?>
    					<li><a class="button ghost" href="<?php echo wp_login_url( get_permalink() ); ?>" title="Log in">Log In</a></li>
    					<li><a class="button ghost" href="#" rel="nofollow" title="Our free support forum">Free Support</a></li>
    				<?php endif; ?>
    			</ul>
    		</div>
    		<?php
    	endif;
    } );

    As for the toolbar, I think it may be this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/
