bbpress will use your wordpress theme. If you want to style and add features use
bbp style pack
ok quick questions –
1. are you getting any sidebar at the moment,
2. and is the presence/absence consistent on all forum pages?
ok, the issue is I suspect with the moderation tools plugin.
I haven’t opened that one up to see what it does, and I see you have posted the issue on their support forum to see if they can help.
suspect it would be beyond free help to look at issues between the two. If you like contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk
what plugins other than bbpress are you using?
I’d suspect issues with the quotation – different systems seem to alter these – try making them consistent – this might work
function cxr_subforum_filter() {
bbp_list_forums(array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
));
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );
If it doesn’t then come back and I’ll take a deeper look, midnight here and on way to bed !
or is this not a support forum for BBpress users
yes this is, but you misunderstand how open source software works
People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to.
If someone gave you a car for free, would you complain because they don’t come and service it for you?
I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others.
I have seen your questions, and there are many reasons why it might not work.
The most obvious are in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ and in particular the troubleshooting section on plugins and themes will probably get you to a root cause.
Once you have worked through those, do come back.
yes the template files would be useful.
contact me via my website
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
suggest you pose the question to their support team, as a paid theme I of course can’t see it.
start with
dashboard>settings>forums>forum user settings has a parameter
Disallow editing after xx minutes
see what that is set to
sidebars are a nightmare since theme developers went away from the wordpress tradition of having standard files for each page type.
Many now just have a page.php file, which frequently calls functions and stops any easy solution to the problem of getting a bbpress sidebar.
So let’s start with what theme are you using?
I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order
I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order
Issue resolved.
Usernames had ‘ Disable the visual editor when writing’ switched off in profile
I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>topic/reply form item 9
ok, you’ll need to amend wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.php
so
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

@confusedneedhelp – great glad you are fixed !
ok, it’s maybe a clash of terms being used on your site – ie something else is using search
As a test change the slug to say ‘find’ and see if it works then.#
We can then narrow down the issue
@carzpk -lots of questions – need a link to examples on your site
@anhduy304 – it is site specific, give us a link to your site
@dreuezekiel – ok try adding this to your functions file
add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'order_by_freshness', 10, 2);
function order_by_freshness ($args='') {
$args = array(
'meta_key' => '_bbp_last_active_time',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'DESC',
);
return $args ;
}
if you don’t know how to do that, come back and I’ll wrap it in a baby plugin for you

I presume you are linking to a page that has the [bbp-login] widget in it ?
ok, I can only imagine that the code is not in the right place, or that a character is affecting (one character out of place and nothing works !)
ok, remove the code above completely
I’ve put the code into a small plugin
go to
add visual aditor
and download it to your PC, noting where it is downloaded to
go to
dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the file you downloaded and activate
If that doesn’t work, then I’m stumped, but please come back and let us know
I’d do two checks
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
