try switching to a default theme and see if the issue persists , if it doesnt contact your theme author for help.
@projectprince
try this first
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.
if the issue is only happening when only avada is the current theme then contact avada for help putting it back.
you can go to settings>forums and change the forum settings
there should be menu items for replies/topic/forums to handle those.
@helene-n-insdigbord
what are you expecting??
this should not be a problem with bbPress , but how you/something you installed changed the default from address that WordPress uses in the mail function.
by default its wordpress@(yoursite)
did you use a function/plugin to change the from address??

for registrations i use bruteprotect it helps out alot.
bruteprotect + akismet = <3
plus combine that with bbPress’s spam control functions (throttle posting/time to edit)
bbpress uses the comment moderation settings https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/
so combine that with the blacklist.txt from here and you should be fine
https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist
@nolimit966 i think you can use <?php bbp_topic_excerpt(); ?> place this in loop-single-topic.php and you should see it.
Akismet , bbPress is integrated with Akismet
start from 0 and change the others to the sequential numbers
@danajoy2008
threaded replies is part of core now, go to settings>forums and check reply threading.
there is no shortcode for recent replies
you could try this??
https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/
you could follow this tutorial to create a recent replies shortcode , i tried it and i didnt get the results i wanted before
http://www.daggerhart.com/bbpress-recent-replies-shortcode/
other things you could do is use get template part, then make a shortcode for a template
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part
you could do some custom query in a new template , put a custom sidebar in the template and place the widget there.
then if you want follow this tutorial to use get_template with a shortcode

@spespam
sorry , if you could please explain what you did to fix your issue so others that have same issue could look at this topic for help.
follow this guide here is part 1
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
part 2 is linked toward the very bottom
but you can create a blank page and have it use the same forum archive slug as you set in settings>forums.
for example create a page called Forums , the end slug should be the default /forums and it should lead you to your forum archive.
an alternative is to use the forum archive shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]
@danajoy2008
i see you said earlier you deactivated a few plugins
Try deactivating all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
other than that work backwards and see what you couldve done to cause this issue.
cool!! i will test it out on my test server and give ya some feedback later
i also see your plugin was mentioned here too
WPWeekly Episode 182 – John James Jacoby Talks BuddyPress, bbPress, and GlotPress
i found this plugin which pretty much has it, no styling though.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-info-widgets/
but bbpress.org uses
forum shortcode to list the forums.
regular bbpress topic tags widget
they are just links , you can put the menu widget there, create a new menu and put your feed links there, they will be exactly like the links what bbpress.org uses just replace the domain name with yours
custom development for the forum info.
i think this is per-forum moderation that will be added to bbPress core in the future.
@alice-kaye
i know that finding the id in the page source is a little easier since your using CSS.
but i also like to point out that you can use this plugn for finding the ID in the backend of WordPress for the forums/topics/replies sections to show the post types ID.
its pretty useful.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/
as for the CSS you could be missing a few periods.
.bbpress .single-forum .postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg') !important; }
you are using the newest version of bbPress right??
you didnt try to use a “bbpress standalone theme” and try to install that right??
because i see the layout on the forums are tabled when the newest version of bbPress uses lists.
@numumar
are you using an old version of bbPress or are you importing from an old version of bbPress??
because from what i can tell you dont need a bb.config.php file on the new version of bbPress to work with the newest version of BuddyPress they work flawlessly no problem, well since bbPress became a plugin for WordPress now.
you also might want to go to https://buddypress.org/support/ for help setting up BuddyPress
explain a little more of what you are talking about , if you could include any pictures to help explain what you are talking about that would great too.
@seo45
if your theme author did not copy all of the bbpress templates to your child theme (use a child theme if you didnt) you can go into the plugin and copy the loop-single-reply.php file into your bbpress folder.
if your theme is highly customized and copying the file from the bbpress templates to your child theme is causing issues, contact your theme author for help as your theme might be highly customized.
this link might help explain better how to copy the templates you need into your bbpress folder, but since you have customized templates from your theme already try not to overwrite them.
