enable bbpress
then
dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
Then decativate and delete bbpress and any dependent plugind
sorry, that is usually theme specific, so beyond help here
so did you load this as a plugin eg
Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’
Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.
then in worpress go to
Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.
great – glad you are fixed
This plugin seems to do that and claims bbpress support
I have not tried it, so please come back and let us know if it works

I appreciate that generic words on setting up do not always cut it, but the guide is just that a guide, not intended to be definitive in all cases.
Given that I have neither a link to your current site or a real idea of what you are after, it is hard to help.
Maybe a link to your current site would help my unedrstanding
that’s a category and forums underneath
hmm… those capabilities should allow this to happen.
I’d suspect that these are not being added – how are you doing this?
link to an example on your site please
[bbp-forum-index] gives a list of forums, not topics. you then click on a forum to get that forums topics.
sorry, not into selling stuff. and no I’m not the bbpress author.
great – thanks for posting the answer
ok, to understand what your issue might be, I need a link to your site
Private groups
will get you most of the way there. You could then link your purchases to joining a group, but you’ll need a hook from whatever payment/membership plugin you are using
not sure what you are trying to achieve
[bbp-forum-index] shows the forums, you click a forum and get a list of topics for that forum – ois that not happening?
great – glad you are fixed
Please forgive me my ignorance – don’t worry we were all there when we started !!
bbpress uses the wordpress database and pages so is contained entirely within wordpress.
at it’s simplest, just put a ‘custom link’ menu entry of url ‘/fourms/’ and navigation label of ‘forums’ into your menu.
Alternately create a page with a title of say ‘forums’ and put [bbp-forum-index] in the content.
