You have to copy the main template bbPress is inheriting from your theme for its layout and create a bbpress.php file from it. This would usually require you to remove the sidebar code, then use CSS to make the layout fullwidth.

What is the error??
I have my localhost server running the latest WordPress and bbPress and I do not see an issue.
I also tested one of my live test sites, and still do not see an issue.
In Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.
Set Forum Root should show Topics by Freshness.
Found this snippet earlier this week, this should help not allow guest users to see BuddyPress Profiles.
/**
* Redirect buddypress and bbpress pages to registration page
*/
function kleo_page_template_redirect()
{
//if not logged in and on a bp page except registration or activation
if( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! bp_is_activation_page() && ! bp_is_register_page() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url( '/register/' ) );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'kleo_page_template_redirect' );
sorry for the late reply, but I am not sure this is possible at the moment.
Sorry for the late reply, I am going through some old topics to see if I missed something.
Have you tried disabling all other plugins AND using the default theme at same time? (difficult if the site is live of course)
If it’s not on a live site maybe try a fresh bbpress install? Also there are some repair tools in the settings you can try (I haven’t had experience using these but it’s worth a try)
Do this to see, and report back.
If it doesn’t work I might have to report a bug.
I’ve looked inside the loop-forums.php template, then found this <?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ ); ?> being executed. Which template file is bbp_template_before_forums_loop pulling from ?
Sorry for the late reply, but that is a hook. If you want the login form only above the forum index just echo the shortcode like so above or below that hook.
<?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>
or if you are pretty good with PHP just use the hook.
If you want the login form above all bbPress pages, you might have to consider echoing the shortcode in a bbpress.php file.

Well I went to a .org version of your site and a .com version and I do not know which one is your current site.
On the .org version, it is because you have BuddyPress activated with the extended profiles component activated and it replaces your profiles.
Replies Created in Profiles should be something like this http://luffit.org/members/luvvieclaire/forums/replies/
Could be whenever I get around to it, or someone else figures out how before me. It might be pretty simple to do though.
If what you are looking for is to remove the
This topic contains blah blah blah
Look for this in content-single-topic.php
<?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>
You can also use a function snippet like this to remove it for Forums and topics.
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
function ja_return_blank() {
return '';
}
Try some troubleshooting especially the Theme and Plugin steps.

I couldn’t duplicate the issue from my Local development area running the Alpha of this site. If you do come across this issue again, please post the error image like I said before.

your participants cannot use all the HTML tags
You could’ve added a function to allow extra tags though.
Whenever I tried your modified plugin the close tags button worked for me.
Add all this CSS, it fixes the issue you have created this topic for and whatever else I could find on your site.
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
padding: 0;
display: inline-block !important;
text-align: inherit!important;
}
#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover {
background-color: transparent !important;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
color: inherit;
}
#bbpress-forums #content p{
text-align: inherit;
}
max links allowed in posts are 2 this includes links in embedded images.
You can remove the http:// from the code, I would know what you are talking about.
The category slug? Can you please explain a little more about this?
Maybe this? Not 100% sure though, if you haven’t contact BuddyPress support.
if ( is_user_logged_in() || bp_group_is_member() )
Well that picture is custom design that I made for some clients forums, I am saying that I was working on something similar. The unread posts and the forum colors are custom plugins I have installed. I won’t care if they take some ideas like voice/reply count icons, and little things here and there though.
the first kuena link the forums look too busy.
Second link is what I was talking about but for bbPress, make it look cleaner. I have made something kind of similar, not exact but some parts are similar. (I know the icons are off a bit, idk what I did to mess them up, but they were fine before.)
the third and fourth link remind me of old bb boards, some phpbb inspiration I can see though.
Almost all of those Github plugins have almost non discussions, issues, requests. It doesnt mean they are perfect, it means they will be abandoned very soon. As much you here would abandon bbPress if nobody used it and nobody come to this forum. As much Drupal core and other Drupal developers abandoned Drupal forum because nobody used it. So simple.
I get what you are saying but what about plugin forks or just plugins with similarities.
Here are the other github plugins and their alternatives and why I might and might not fork them.
- VIP support -> bbpress-VIP-Support-Plugin-for-Latest-WordPress (will think about pushing to WP.org)
- Simple Support -> bbResolutions
- EDD bbPress Support Dashboard (this is a fork of VIP support too and was specific to the EDD site)
- bbPress Spam Cleaner -> This is the plugin that was made for a job for a specific user
- bbPress Report Abuse (needs paid plugin gravity forms) -> bbPress Report Content
- bbPress Avatar -> Basic User Avatars
- bbP Quote -> bbPress Direct Quotes(I said I might add this into a different plugin, and users can also install GD bbPress tools)
- bbPress Ajax Replies (not touching, do not know much about ajax)
- djb bbPress last read plugin -> closest I think to this exact plugin is the one I said I might add to WP.org
- bbPress Live Preview -> Just enable TinyMCE(but I will think about forking it more)
Tell me one thing sincerely. if you so much trust all those plugins why you dont install them here and use it as showcase for newcommers ?
I told you some of the plugins in there could be some ideas for functionality and that is why it is there, which leads to me sprucing up the page again.
if you need to use the user nicename replace
$user = $current_user->user_login ;
with
$user = $current_user->user_nicename ;
How could I possibly find out the correct menu slug id? Right now the menu appears in every menu (sidebar as well) and regardless of an user’s login status.
I guess you can try doing what the top answer said here.

I think multisite would be the best option in my opinion. Let the specific language users go to their own specific language forums. No automatic translation for the forums, just let specific language users create their content like normal. I think that is how wordpress.org does it, but I am not entirely sure??
Thanks for sharing, will keep this bookmarked so that I can come back to it as a possible solution if other users come across the same issue.
And see if they have time for some plugin.
What plugins exactly need help?? There are some alternatives to some old plugins that might be better, and there are solid plugins that are fine how they are now.
I have some ideas of making bbPress more acceptable to Pods or ACF. It would open many possibilities. Some of them could be, polls, attachments (very regulated and narrowed), SVG icons, reply title (it is just text input field), avatars, etc..
Most of these have some kind of plugin and could be accomplished.
Polls -> Pollka Polls
Attachments -> GD bbPress Attachments or BuddyPress with Forum editor plugin
SVG Icons -> Easy to add with CSS skills
Reply title -> bbPress Reply Titles
Avatars -> Basic user avatars or BuddyPress or bbp Avatar
And some of the github plugins on the feature plugin tracking page have alternatives.

Making bbPress more acceptable to Pods or ACF -> This might just be a separate compatibility plugin.
There is a lot of plugins for bbPress v1 that give me an idea where in some circumstances might be useful to carry over their functionality into a bundle if it is achievable in WordPress and bbPress v2.
Do you have anything unique to mention that is very important that it needs its own plugin??
Ugly as hell when installed, takes lot of time.
I want to talk about design so much, don’t be afraid to speak on any issues about it. I have some ideas that would be great for theme compatibility but not really fancy layout. A really fancy layout could be achieved with some nice themes, and hopefully later when I get the docs done for that theme developers would have no problem designing for bbPress.
