    Try to see that you are placing widgets in the right sidebar for it to show on the bbPress pages.

    IF you want full-width forums.

    Try this custom CSS to see if it fixes the empty space and makes your forums actually full width. Place the custom css in your child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.

    .bbpress .sidebar {
      width: 0;
      display: none;
    }
    
    .bbpress .postcontent {
        width: 100%;
    }

    This has happened to a couple users before, so it may be a bug in bbPress that needs to be reported now.

    Just to make sure that it is just bbPress causing the issue.

    Make sure you have already done most of these troubleshooting steps. Also try in a different browser and see if it helps any.

    Troubleshooting

    And please answer these questions also.

    Is this a single site installation or multisite?
    If it is a multisite installation, what is your current user role Admin or Super Admin?

    After all this I have to collect all the topics on here about the issue in the last year.

    Did you try refreshing your permalinks??

    Navigation Links Return 404s Errors

    Also make sure it is not a plugin conflicting with bbPress or your current theme/a code snippet in your theme causing the issue also.

    You should be able to see the Forum role beside each user in Users > All Users in the WordPress backend.

    You can change the Forum Role of a user by checking the checkbox by the user and then you will see a change forum role dropdown above the user list. Click the forum role dropdown and select the role Moderator, then hit the change button next to it and the user will now be a moderator.

    On this site it is custom links in the WordPress toolbar.

    You can follow this tutorial to add custom links to the admin bar.

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-custom-shortcut-links-to-wordpress-toolbar/

    There is also this plugin that can add links above forum pages.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-pages/

    And also you could just place the bbPress login widget in a sidebar you have and input additional authentication links in the widgets input fields.

    I just split your reply into a new topic because your reply is very specific with using the divi theme and reply threading feature in bbPress.

    I am aware of this issue. There is a conflict with a script in the Divi Theme some custom-js.js script that holds carousel/slider javascripts and it is conflicting with bbPress’s reply threading.

    A simple and fast fix, I guess would be to de-enqueue the script on any bbPress related pages.

    Contact Divi Support first about the issue to see if they have a fix handy or are aware of the issue.

    Are they activity Streams from BuddyPress? What are using for activity streams??

    I think these are the borders the plugin is missing the ability to customize.

    #bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, 
    #bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
        border-top: 1px solid #eee;
    }
    
    #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, 
    #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
        border-top: 1px solid #eee;
    }

    Second question is tough for me to try to find what is causing the issue.

    DId you do anything to make /forums page any different from your other pages??

    I do not use the plugin, I just found it in the WordPress repository.

    The plugin author has been active in the support forums in the past few weeks, so I assume people are using it still and with at least most with the latest version of WordPress.

    You can contact the plugin author in their support forums if you have any concerns with the plugin working with the latest version of WordPress.

    If a bbPress post contains a word that you put in the comment blacklist, the topic or reply will be marked as pending, and will be pending until moderation approval.

    The plugin I linked to just replaces profanity words you list with characters such as ***

    Which one did you link me?

    Robin’s plugin for just bbPress fields.

    What I did, which seems to work fine for now…

    Yeah I told you the WordPress code would work. If you want cleaner templates you may nee to use the hook.

    bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details

    I might be saying very stupid things here (gotta learn some way), but I tried changing bbp_theme_before_topic_title to bbp_topic_class which is what my inexperienced self thought would do the trick, but it didn’t.

    Oh, you are trying to make a post class. You can try this to see if it adds a new-topic post class to any new topics. I haven’t tested this though.

    add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rkk_unread_topic' );
    function rkk_unread_topic($classes) {
    	$offset = 60*60*1; 
    	if ( get_post_time() > date('U') - $offset ) {
    			  $classes[] = 'new-topic';
    		  return $classes;
    	}
    }

    Does it actually print the paragraph tags??

    This is for any new topic/reply right??

    You might possibly see if this is a plugin issue, maybe something that modifies Tinymce somehow?
    You can also check to see if it is a theme issue also, or a possible code snippet in a child theme.

    Yeah I might suggest a few questions that should be in the next survey the next time you create a trac ticket for it. And thanks! 🙂

    The custom profile fields, what exactly do they do? I get that I can now add my Twitter handle from profile settings, but it’s not displayed anywhere on the site.

    Yeah you have to manually place the any extra fields you want on the frontend of the user profile and and place the code in the template user-profile.php, that should be in your child theme for easy customization.

    in user-profile.php you will already see an example of the user’s description field being displayed, and you would need to do some of the same procedure.

    <?php if ( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'twitter' ) ) : ?>
    
        <p class="bbp-user-twitter">
            <a href="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'twitter' ); ?>" title="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?>'s Twitter" rel="nofollow">
                 <?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'twitter' ); ?>
            </a>
        </p>
    
    <?php endif; ?>

    I will probably put an example for user’s to place the links on their profile templates later on that guide.

    I would love for it to be displayed beneath my avatar and username phpBB-style in topics, or at least on my visible forum profile.

    Yep, there is a way to that too. I can’t remember much but I think it just involves a hook to place the data. There is a plugin Robin made that can basically do that. There is also a different plugin for displaying BuddyPress profile fields. You can dig around the plugins code if you want to see how he did it.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/

    This doable? Obviously I can’t use the_author_meta() in bbpress, so…

    I think it is possible to just use the WordPress code with bbPress. bbPress is just a plugin of WordPress now.

    Also, instead of adding labels to certain topics. Can I add classes so I can do changes in CSS?

    Yeah you do not have to leave the [status] and just leave the classes there so you can style with just CSS.

    In reply to: Is there a REST API?

    @robkk

    Try not to bump very old topics at least older than a year, especially ones that are 8 years old!!

    There is an API or an example API in the Jetpack plugin.

    https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/jetpack/trunk/class.jetpack-bbpress-json-api-compat.php

    There have been users trying to make apps with bbPress.

    WordPress JSON Rest API bbPress and Android

    Also know there has been work to introduce an API into WordPress.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/

    And there already have been plugins in development for compatibility between the WP-REst API and bbPress like this one.

    https://github.com/thenbrent/BB-API (Alpha version)

    Any contributions for any work toward any type of bbPress Rest API are welcome and much appreciated.

    Pretty permalinks should work fine in bbPress if you have set up the permalinks to use the post name structure in Settings > Permalinks.

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen

    I don’t think it would be a step backwards, I am not sure all that the vbSEO plugin did SEO wise, but I bet there is a WordPress plugin that works fine with bbPress.

    There are two different vBull converters, vBulletin and vBulletin3. The last one is what you would want to use.

    Not really a bbPress related question, but use this.

    ul#menu-secondary-menu {
        float: right;
    }

    Make sure to keep it bbPress related next time.

    It might be that bbPress does not have support for featured images, and the SEO plugins pull from the featured images.

    I think you are the first to mention a feature request for a fallback image in bbPress.

    There have been users that were suggesting a possibility for featured images for forums for forum thumbnails/icons. There is a neat little piece of code to that here.

    http://www.kristarella.com/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/

    There might be a way to get the forums featured image to and I guess set it as the child posts (topic) featured image, but right now I am not sure how to do that right now.

    Yeah I think you could just use amembers login if it works fine with WordPress. You may need to check if the user registering into amembers registration forms acquire their bbPress forum role to even participate in the forums correctly.

    They are technically logging into your site not just the forums, everything is unified when using bbPress with WordPress. Unless you want everyone to redirect to your forums, or if you want a referer redirect like if a user registers from a bbPress forum page and they should be redirected back where they were previously before registering.

    From posts I see on the amember forum they should integrate nicely. The amember plugin also has some kind of plugin integration with bbPress. If you need any extra help from users setting up with amember with bbPress and WordPress, you may need to contact their support forums as there are more topics about the integration between the software on their site.

    I am not sure using Visual composer, but since bbPress has dynamic pages and not static WordPress pages, I am not sure a page builder will help much.

    If you have a custom bbpress.php file in your theme you can add a banner to all bbPress pages or just the ones of your choice with some conditionals.

    If you are adding the banners using a shortcode you can echo the shortcode like this.

    <?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>

    Just make sure to edit the bbpress.php file in your child theme and place the shortcode in the template.

    I guess double check and make sure the email is the same.

    You can also try and see if a plugin/theme is causing the issue.
