Hi – I am running the Activetab Child Theme with a left side bar. The Pages menu includes an option to make the pages full width with no side bar. How do I do that to Forum pages? There are numerous solutions posted on this none of which work. There seems to be wide spread demand to have full width bbpress forum pages but no easy way to do it. It makes sense not have the forum pages crowed with side bar noise that is required on the main page but nowhere else. The lack of support for this is a serious weakness in the bbpress plugin.
I have a child theme implemented and have no problem adding bbpress specific overrides to the style sheet if they work and persist after plugin, theme and WordPress upgrades.
Yesterday I installed this plugin, but I do not see any migration option anywhere … I am asking you for help, I can give data to my server, phpmyadmin etc.
Comments on the xoops module “news” also this plugin moves?
I am waiting 2 years on this forum for any help! sick… I thought that it helps people here
I would like to finally go on wordpress and bbpress.
Please Angelo Rocha help me, You are the last man who gonna make this, i migrate all articles with comments and users, i need migrate only module NEWBB.
Best regards. You can find my e-mail previous message.
This plugin is already functional, I’m working on a user-friendly interface, currently only works with some programming settings.
This site: https://www.guiadocftv.com.br/
It was migrated successfully using my plugin. At the moment I’m running out of time to finish it, as I’m involved in other WordPress projects, it’s how I make my living.
This plugin is under GPL license, anyone from this forum can help in its finalization. Any doubts I am available.

Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me decipher this error (with WP_DEBUG). Without WP_DEBUG simply getting a blank page. Front index and viewing topics works fine, but for some reason the forums (where you see a list of topics) don’t work.
Tried disabling all plugins, besides bbPress of course. Running the latest WordPress version 5.1.
Kind regards,
Jonas.

1. install
Private groups
set up a group, then activate topic permissions, and set the forum topic permissions to create/edit replies
2. not sure how this is different from users being registered
I like the bbPress plugin because of the Freshness column on the forum page. However I do have a couple of questions.
1. In my current forum/blog I do not allow participants to add topics, they are only allowed to add comments to a topic. Is there a way in which I can only let the key master add a topic and NOT participants?
2. In my current forum/blog all topics are password protected. Is there a way in which I can set a password for the individual topics? (The password would be the same for all topics and all participants know the password.)
Wordpress version: 5.1
bbPress version: 2.5.14

bbPRess-wordpress is really slow on my site. 7 to 10 seconds loading the main forum page. Submitting a new topic can go over 20 sec. 75% of that time is waiting for a reply…
It’s hosted on a VPS and when I monitor the CPU and RAM memory, it is always under the max, CPU runs at 50-70% on a request and ram stays around 70% used.
It seems to me that the requests to mySql takes a long time to execute.
We have 11500 topics and 75000+ replies. It was a phpBB forum that has been converted to bbPRess.
What can I do to improve performances?
Hello,
BBPress is running great on this site but if a visitor is a guest and clicks a topic to view the content, they are redirected to the home page. We are using WordPress pages with shortcodes to manage the forum.
If you view the sample forum and click the I’m In topic it goes to the home page as guests. We need guests to be able to see the topic info to decide if they want to join.
Any info would be great, here is the page:
<a href=”http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/forums/main-forum/”
Thank you.
You can achieve what you want if I have understood by the following
Install the private groups plugin
Private groups
then
a. Public discussion – just set up a public forum, and all users will be able to access this – no private groups settings needed
b. Then for the keymaster only forum – do as follows
1. Go into dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>topic permissions and activate this feature
2. Create a group in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>Group 1 (or whichever group you want)
3. Create a new forum, set it as private (so only logged in users see it) and in the forum groups set group 1 with access
4. Then click save and when then page refreshes, you will see topic permissions have appeared below the forum groups
5. Now select Create/Edit OWN topics
This then means that within that forum, users will only see topics they have created, and be able to reply. The keymaster can then see/reply to these topics. Any topic created by the keymaster will be visible to all users in this forum
So from the user point of view they get a forum where they can post threads which only you and they see.
I think this should achieve what you want – and given they can create multiple threads on what looks like to them as their own private forum, maybe is even better as they can create a new thread for a new topic !!

this site only does this for the wordpress and bbpress sites.
I’ll take a look at the plugin above soon, but tied up with other stuff at the moment
Hello again, right well here’s a plugin that purports to do EXACTLY what I want… Except its for posts in WordPress, NOT for bbpress.
URL-Preview-Box
I feel like somebody here might know how to make this work in bbpress as well. I also feel like somebody must have already implemented this on their own forums and knows how to do it. Can anyone assist at all please? Thanks!
I’ve purged all caches and purged again and it still won’t accept this word. I made sure the word was removed on My Sites panel in WordPress too…
Hi there, first of all, sorry if this is something everybody knows, i did try to google it but came up with only things that aren’t the same as what i’m looking for.
What i would like is for an image preview of some sort to come up within the post or reply, in bbpress, whenever somebody pastes a URL. Ideally it should only happen for the first URL in each post or reply, and ignore any subsequent URLs, but if that’s fiddly then just something that will generate previews for any URLs posted would be very helpful.
Here is an example of it not happening: https://yesbook.scot/forums/topic/the-greatest-argument-of-all/
That’s me posting an OP in my bbpress forum, and as you can see i pasted some text from a web page, and then a URL link to the page. Now what would be ideal is if the post also automatically showed a picture, drawn from the URL, inline within the bbprss post, in the same way that facebook pulls a picture in when you post a URL on their site.
Is there a plugin that does this, or some simple tweak i can make to the config files of the site to make this happen? I’m not totally ignorant of how to use php and CSS but for the sake of argument, please assume that i am, because it isn’t far from the truth!
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
It is currently WordPress version 5.1 and bbPress version 2.5.14-6684
I am using DI Business Responsive theme, though i don’t think that makes much difference for this particular question.
Managing replies and topics in a large open forum has become a nightmare. I have searched high and low for a way to manage posts by IP/user, name, and of course the marking bulk spam as you mentioned. Mass edit/delete is not teaching anything to Akismet. I am using CleanTalk to manage spam registrations which seems to help with spam. But managing posts that get through filters requires tools like the Comment Dashboard for WordPress. I am going to look for someone to write a plugin. Perhaps the Comment Moderation plugin Developer could help us.
Sorry I misspoke. I was unable to run the code through my functions.php file, but it seems to be functioning through a snippet plugin:

My bad.
put this in your child theme’s functions file
function rew_breadcrumbs ($args) {
$args['home_text'] = 'your new words here';
return $args ;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'rew_breadcrumbs');

Hi,
we’re running bbpress and our users should be able to delete their own posts.
We’ve blocked the wordpress menu bar on top of the page after a user is logged in.
How is it possible to delete posts in the frontend without switching to the backend of wordpress?
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi,
We have a site in soft launch. The forum is its key function.
We are seeing each post takes a very long time to submit. A reply will take like 5 seconds. A new topic, about 3-5 seconds. There are no more than 3 people intermittently posting on the forum now since we are still in a beta mode.
We have not done any customization regarding the function. The only other bbPress related plugin we have installed is bbPress Toolkit. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/) No other types of post are posting as slowly as the forum topics and replies now. bbPress is now by far the slowest component on our site.
What shall we try to make the forum post faster, like maybe this one?
Shall we change the caching level? We are using WP Rocket Cache.
At the same time, we noticed that the bbPress is sending notifications out before completing a submission. Can we change it so that it takes submission then send out notification later?
Thank you so much! We have been struggling with this for days now. Desperately need your help.

I’m using WordPress 5.1 and Buddypress 2.5.14
My site is a writing community and we upload work for comments. Having trouble with some comments which wordpress block as part of the Comments Blacklist function in ‘Discussion’ settings. Have removed words I want to allow for posting without being blocked but still not able to post. For instance the word double breasted is not allowed because it contained one of the blacklist words. I have removed this from the list but it is still being blocked when I try and include it in a topic…
