    Did you disable all plugins at once (apart from bbpress) ? and have you switched to a defualt theme such as twentytwelve?

    wordpress uses gravatar as it’s avatar system

    http://en.gravatar.com/

    so you change the gratatar there.

    If you want to change the default

    Dashboard>settings>discussion and at bottom of that page

    If you want to use local avatars

    from a quick look, I think what you are after is

    #bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd,
    #bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.even {
    background: url(‘images/footer-bg.png’) repeat left top;
    }

    come back if that’s not what you’re after !

    The solution I am working on gives the ability to create groups.

    Users are then assigned to a single group.

    Each forum can then be assigned to none, one or more groups.

    So if
    user a is assigned to group 1
    user b to group 2
    use c to group 3

    and
    forum x can be seen by group 1
    forum y by group 1 & 3
    and forum z by group 2 & 3

    so group 1 users (user a) can see forums x & y
    group 2 users (user b) can only see forum z
    and group 3 (user c) users can see forums y & z

    and yes it will be publicly available

    It is working, but needs the search function to limit viewing, and then a whole tidy-up. I am trying to finish it while retaining a marriage !

    This is community software – why not get involved and crack open the plugin, see what it does and add it to the core bbpress software

    To get started and learn about how to create a patch that is in the format we use here (and the entire WordPress Trac ecosystem) here are a couple of docs to get you on your way:

    Yes, I’d check themes and plugins as above !

    I’ve now published this on wordpress

    I didn’t know what “post on the forum” means – after 30 years in IT support it could mean anything from the battery has run out to a very very specific set of circumstances, and anything in between.

    Therefore it was only an attempt to see if your user had a bigger issue, like she couldn’t get forum access. If you don’t think it will help, and you will know your moderator, then ignore it, I just got it from a google, and given that no-one else had come back, thought it was worth a try.

    It would be worth you seeing if this is a theme or plugin issue.

    Check other plugins

    Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

    Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

    Check themes

    If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

    if you change your forum to hidden, then only moderators and keymasters can see it.

    But I sense you need more than that, can you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to achieve?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    all topics in that forum, or just some within that forum?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Hey no problem, do come back if you have more queries !

    Great that your are fixed !

    This is all set in your theme’s page templates.

    You can copy one of these and rename it bbpress.php and put it into the root of your theme.

    bbpress will then use that one, and you can delete the sidebar from the bbpress.php

    come back if you need further help

    @robin-w

    nothing bad in doing that

    as bbpress has different custom post types for topic and reply, you could also link to the action bbp_theme_after_reply_content action and put a topic condition on
    something like

    function display_after_topic() {
    	if( get_post_type() == 'topic') {
    	$text="hello mother" ;
    	echo $text;
    	}
    	else {
    	return ;
    	}
    }
    
    add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_content', 'display_after_topic') ;

    I suspect this is not related, but always worth checking

    Do you have a forums page with shortcode.

    If not another poster did the following with success for a twentyfourteen theme.

    So let me restate what you found to work:

    1. When creating a menu item for forums, do NOT use the automatically available permalink that ends in “/forums/”
    2. Instead, create a page that has the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the body. There could also then be other content or links in the body.
    3. Make sure the page you created does NOT have a permalink that ends in “/forums/”. In my case I had a page Title of “Forums”, but I changed the permalink to end with “/allforums/”.

    I suspect that this will not fix for you, but give it a try anyway !

    Terry, thanks from posting that – sometimes (in fact more than sometimes!) it is a small but vital bit that’s missing !

    Glad you’re now fixed !

    I am writing a bbpress specific solution at the moment – hope to publish in the new few weeks

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, add this in

    #bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
    color: #000000;
    }

    and then come back with any others

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    yes, it was an untested change, but now I know you can do it, I’ll change it later today to catch the other ones

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, you have several routes to go

    If you think you will be making other changes, then it may be worth you reading this

    Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

    but if you just want to get this going then download this plugin

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    and then put this code into it

    #bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
    #bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
    color: blue !important ;
    }

    a:link {
    color: blue !important ;
    }

    Obviously you can change the blue to whatever, or use hex codes to get any shade you like

    Come back if that doesn’t work, and I’ll try to help further

    some of the code in here might help you

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok if it proves an issue, you could use

    if ( is_singular( array('forum', 'topic', 'reply') ) ) {
        //  conditional content/code
    }

    great, glad you’re fixed

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    yes they are on your site.

    If I gave you the code and said for you to add this to your style.css would you know what I was asking?

    If so I’ll cut some for you to use

    If not, come back and I’ll try and help further
