In case anyone else out there is having similar issues, I figured out a work-around. It is very hacky and I would love it if someone happened to have a better solution. In essence, the problem was with bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php. For some reason, the labels that were associated with bbp_stick_topic, bbp_topic_status, and bbp_topic_title were not wanting to adhere to the forms or drop down menus and the titles were being printed up by the forum title. To work around the issue, I just deleted the titles of the form and drop down menus. It is only a temporary solution, so I would love it if anyone had any ideas about why the labels might be breaking. I uninstalled every other plugin and reinstalled bbPress but still had the issue. Thanks for the help!
I should have specified that this only happens when you are logged into the site. Hopefully my description is enough to go off since you won’t be able to log into the forum. Thanks!
