    images are doable, but you’d need code that is beyond the free help on here

    yes, you will need to rename one of your theme pages (the one that has only one sidebar) to bbpress.php and put it into your theme

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    Yes, each of your

    ['my_custom_role']

    needs to be different, otherwise it’s just overwriting each time, which is why only the last one shows
    eg my_custom_role1 my_custom_role2

    giving

    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role1>'] = array( 
        'name' => 'Recruit',
        'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants
    
      );
      
      $bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array( 
        'name' => 'Corporal',
        'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants
    
      );

    try running repair

    and run one at a time

    I personally have no experience of multisite, but most times when this doesn’t work on single site, it is a plugin conflict.

    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

    Suspect that won’t help, but in case, and since no-one else has responded 🙂

    Users don’t normally see those words, not quite sure where you are seeing these, can you post a link or screenshots please.

    and what do you mean by topic status? – again link or screenshot please

    If you have one of the two issues listed above, then you can se if the suggestions work for you, or wait. The first has a ticket with wordpress so hopefully will be fixed in 4.0.1

    ok, we have two issues with wp 4.0

    ISSUE 1

    The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

    I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

    1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

    Dashboard>settings>permalinks

    The most often used is ‘postname’

    This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

    2. revert to 3.9.2

    see

    for quite a good video on how to do it

    3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

    and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

    ISSUE TWO

    The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

    For the second, the patch in this plugin may help.

    jerry – the article is mine, and one of the forums I run!

    I’m not sure quite what your question is?

    Can you detail what is missing/needed/different?

    hey, power to you for developing your own theme – not something I’ve attempted !

    ok, I looked again. because I had selected ‘wordpress’ it looked fine as there is only one topic, when looking at others it moves.

    Your theme is setting your sidebar position to relative which means it sits in the middle vertically of the content, so as topics build it will go lower.

    I Suggest you contact your theme provider for how to get the sidebar to stay at the top

    Ok, I know what the problem is

    for a forum structure where the parent is forum-a and the sub-forum is forum-b

    under 4.0 the permalink is

    http://www.mysite.com/?forum=forum-b

    whereas to work it should be
    http://www.mysite.com/?forum=forum-a/forum-b

    So now we have a problem definition, only need to find a solution now, which is the tricky part !
