so you are left with a sidebar that has lots in it except your custom widget?
Sorry I am a bit confused – can you explain further or post a couple of screenshots showing the two different situations, and a url link to your site.
on styling, yes all can be changed.
see
bbPress Styling Crib
for lots of help.
On your page http://atlantacraftbeer.com/beer-exchange/ – what is this page? In theory if it is a normal page with a sidebar, and you put the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on it it should work.
How is this page set up?
can you post a link?
I’d try switching themes to test if it is a theme issue
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
If I have understood correctly, you need to change the forums slug
Dashboard>settings>forums and change forum root slug to in your case discuss
Just had a two minute play with
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-useronline
Looks like it would sort your who’s on line.
is it just the words ‘Mayrhofen’ Forum you are wishing to move?
I have no idea of this plugin works if you are using buddypress (it does with bbpress) but might be worth a quick test – let us know either way !
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information
yes and yes !
bbPress uses the wordpress login, you simply have an additinla contro, to set the user access level to the forums.
So each users has a wordpress access level and a bbpress access level, but only one login !
great – glad you’re fixed !

If you want to try just the latest reply, then try
function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
$args['posts_per_page'] = '1';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');
But I suspect it will have some weird effects on the site, and of course you’ll never see anything but the latest post, so if pupil a posts and a minute laters pupil b, then you’ll never see pupil a’s.
or do you mean that for each topic, pupil a would be pupil a’s reply, pupil b would see pupils b’s reply etc.?
@slprof
Try putting this in your functions file
function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');
I haven’t tested, so come back if it doesn’t work, it should do topic then replies with latest at top
bbpress should have no problems with any database prefix that wordpress accepts, it just rides on this
” I have a copy of the site running the same plugins but with WP3.8.2 and it’s OK.”
Exactly it may be another plugin that’s having a problem with 3.9 – it may not, but you need to eliminate
could be plugin or theme related
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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
bbpress largely picks up on your wordpress theme, use any of thevdefault ones and you’ll get a great look.
I use twentyten very successfully.
and look at the set up guides

if you mean the bbpress shortcodes, they’re held in
includes/common/shortcodes.php
at the simplest just comment out line 109
ie change to
//add_shortcode( $code, $function );
bbpress upgrades will overwrite this, so keep a note to change again as bbpress upgrades are issued.
May well be a plugin or theme issue

Is this an existing installation that has gone wrong, or a new one that you are just uploading?
Thanks for your patience – simple case of link to file missing.
I have now corrected the plugin.
can you deactivate, delete and then re- download from same link as before
bbp Private Groups
oops – sorry will take a look and be back shortly !
Try
#bbpress-forums input[type='text'], textarea{
background : blue !important ;
}
Just spotted you post on the wordpress forum :
‘My theme (MH Magazine) has no bbPress template by default, so I copied my full-page-width template and renamed it plugin-bbpress.php. I’ve got the forums page set to this template’
If this is how you have it currently, then it is a sidebar template from your theme that you need, not a full width page one. With a siderbar theme, then wp-tweaks will pick this up and add the forum one to the page.
