It’s built into the 1.0 core, if you’re on bbPress 1.0+.
I think it was the login.php file.
Definitely don’t edit any pages in bb-includes… create a /my-templates/ folder as described here!
https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
I did this on a bbPress install recently… but rather than doing anything tricky programmatically, I just changed the links in the theme.
It worked great!
Ah ok…
I notice you also have a blog on your site… did you do anything to integrate the forum and the blog?
Try the following:
* Disable your plugins, and see if the forum link works now
* If it still doesn’t work, then activate your Kakumei default theme and see if that helps.
Also – have you tried turning off pretty permalinks?
Check out the instructions around creating a /my-templates/ folder?
https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
Try deactivating all of your plugins, and seeing if you can post OK?
Hmm that’s quite odd.
I’m not sure what the cause is – but I noticed that you have a number of plugins active that are injecting css into your page. Maybe try turning them off and see if that helps?
Btw you may want to replace mini-track with mini-stats… that’s the version being supported now, I believe.
The bb-attachments has an option to upload images to Amazon’s S3 service. It could probably be modified to not save a copy of the image on your local server…
Sounds like a classic integration issue.
Start a new thread with the details… make sure to include the version numbers of both bbPress and WordPress, along with whatever techniques you’ve used to integrate the two!
Wish I could help – I don’t know how IIRF ISAPI stuff work!
If you want to use bbPress and don’t know much about rewrites, your best best is probably to switch to an Apache server. Then everything should “just work”! (At least, that’s the hope.)
Hey collmonster – it’s definitely possible to change this. This plugin should do the trick.

You can also increase your chances of making it through any spam algorithms if you’re using an SMTP mailer:

Good luck!
unholyfruitbat – Glad that we narrowed it down. Do you have a program to compare two text files? I use Beyond Compare and love it:
http://www.scootersoftware.com/download.php
You could use that to compare theme pages like front-page.php… and see what differences there are in your theme codes.
There are no bbPress chat plugins that I’m aware of:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/chat
Also, _ck_ is a female developer.
Are you installing bbPress as a plugin under your WordPress?
Ah I think maybe unholyfruitbad is asking about those little page icons that show up on the frontpage… when a topic has more than ___ posts?
If so – if you’re on 0.9.x, try this “Page links for bbPress” plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/page-links-for-bbpress/
Otherwise if you’re on 1.0+, it’s already built into the core! If it’s not showing up, maybe there’s a setting… or try changing your theme to Kakumei, and see if it shows up then?
You can limit the size of the files you allow to be uploaded to your server using bb-attachments. I set mine to around 150k.
You can also use Amazon’s hosting for your file:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/faq/
I think that the plugin still keeps a copy of your photos on the local server though…
This user hacked permalinks to rewrite in a new way… his/her rewrite rules were written for the Isapi Rewrite filter, so maybe that would start you off in the right direction?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done
Good luck!
This is the closest plugin that I’m aware of:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/members-online/
I don’t think it displays a total number of registered users though…
You could write some Updates to make sure there was no ID overlap? That’s what I had to do when we were doing a similar user integration…
Actually – the user who wrote that last thread followed up with a fantastic list of exactly what steps s/he did, including specific update quries:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps
From one coding novice to another, I can try to answer that question.
Plugins that need to keep track of topic_id include topics that tend to “attach” something to a topic, or track data tied to a particular topic. _ck_’s examples above mentioned file attachments and polls… I’m guessing that at some of the following might work similarly:
* Best Answer (since a post within a particular topic is selected as the Best Answer)
* Unread Topics (which tracks if a topic has been read by a particularuser)
* bb Topic Views -(which tracks views for each topic)
Just a guess though…
You definitely want to use the same users table for both installs.
I’ve had to eventually integrate bbPress and WordPress users after not integrating them upfront, and you definitely want to do it sooner rather than later. It wasn’t fun, but it’s definitely doable.
There’s a good discussion on how to go about it here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations
It all sounds good, but just out of curiosity – are you using pretty permalinks? Trying to figure out where the topic IDs might be visible to users…
Try something like this?
<?php if ( bb_current_user_can( ‘write_topic’ ) ) { new_topic(); } ?>
