Can’t do a treeview (whatever you mean by that), but my plugin
bbp style pack
has an unread posts tab
I’m having trouble replying to my own thread I just created on a forum. All the options available say “Edit”, “View” and “Trash”. But I want to reply & post in my own thread that I created. Can you please help me? I’m quite stressed out trying to get my forum to appear not only as a page but with the ability to reply. I cannot reply to my own thread and forum?
I reached out to wordpress.com, wordpres.orf (who redirected me to wordpress.com); and Wordspress.com told me to reach out to bbPress saying, “It is a design issue , You need to add it with the web developer. Please check with the plugin providers also for that. Its not the server settings . Its a forum settings you need to check with the forums developers.”
So that is what I am doing. If you need me to provide links, I will. I just am desperate for help so that I can get my post and website up and working.
Please advice and thank you.
I almost had it done converting it to simple machine and then to BBPress but it kept getting an error at the end. I was converting to 4.4 (I believe) it was using the latest converter someone posted on the VB Forums. I apologize for not saving the links. I finally gave up. Went back to VB 5.0 and am hosting it myself. vBulletin is by far the best software out there for forums, but not great when you want integration. My forum was pretty good sized..

I didn’t use the cloud like I did and went back to self hosting like I had before. If you host vBulletin yourself you have total control over it and you can install 3rd party plugins. I use DragonByte. It is inexpensive and great customer support. With the new vBulletin interface and mobile support for apps it is again top of the line.
I waited well over a year for a solution to the problem and WordPress and BBPress were obviously not willing to take a good portion of the crowd wanting to jump from vBulletin. But they waited too long and vBulletin worked their issues out.
It does not work as it used to before.
Here the faults:
1) Under Settings > Discussions when I try to select the Forum, and click on “Apply settings to existing posts” it shows an error.
2) When I go to the posts I find all the wordpresss comments removed, and no bbpress replacement
3) However It works only if I edit individual posts and select the forum under the individual posts.
That means if somebody has 1000 posts he will have to edit 1000 posts for enabling the import?? How time consuming that will be
And during the time the individual posts are being edited the existing comments will remain hidden
Earlier this fault was not there, the import could be enabled for the all the posts with one click…
Hi @thebeeobee,
That looks like a nice bug. Would you be able to add that to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket , describe in short the issue and the steps to reproduce? Also put a link to this topic.
Thanks a lot!
Pascal.

Ciao Fabio,
As you can see on https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/bbpress , bbPress is translated in stable and dev at 100%, so I confirm that all strings have been translated in Italian.
What you show in your screenshots is however coming from a theme or an extra plugin and not from bbPress.
So identify the theme or plugin that adds this string and translate it. More information on how to translate can be found on https://it.wordpress.org/traduzioni/
@zcoin,
bbPress is not different from WordPress. Basic information on the post (a forum, a topic or a reply are all a ‘post) is a record inside the wp_posts table. Then in the wp_postmeta table you will find more information for every post.
Hi @tonyleev,
That would be a question for the support forum of that plugin. Maybe it’s this one: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/moderation-tools-for-bbpress ?
Hello everyone!
I’ve set up a bbPress forum on a clean WordPress installation and applying the simpliest boxed theme to it (twentysixteen). I tested ie and everything was working fine so I made a child theme and started styling it.
Problem is, almost at the end of the customization, I realized that when I search something in the top form, the results page is completely messed up and I can’t seem to figure out why…
I’ve done some googling and ended up on these two topics:
Search css issues…
Template in Extras Directory for Search Results
But they didn’t help me because as for the first one, by using What The FIle plugin, turns out the files WP pulls up in the index and search restults are the same; as for the second one, I didn’t import any custom UI and the theme I created was made a child of twentysixteen which was quite vanilla as for looks.
I admit I’m not a sharp expert on the matter, but I’m out of options…
Does anyone have an idea of why the results page breaks so badly?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Have a nice day 🙂
my private groups plugin will let you do that using topics permissions
create a group, allocate a forum to it, activate topic permissions, set topic permissions to only allow users to create a topic and see replies to that topic. Set users you want to that group.

@studentfilmmakers As a start try using this plugin to style your bbpress.
bbp style pack
then come back with any further queries
I am frustrated with the lack of layout and theme availability for the bbpress. Yes, there are a hundred thousand themes you can use it with but a lot of them are only visually pleasing and not really made for functionality. What really bothers me is the use of the grey text that looks great aesthetically but it is not for reading. I am sure there is a way I can change the grey text and make the nice background show up after the post. I just have to find the person who can tell me where to edit this in the theme or style sheet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I like the way this forums looks. Is there a link I can download the them at. The link above is not in my face understandable for me. Here is it https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes
What can I do to make this work as a theme. The steps to make this happen would be appreciated greatly. Have a great day and God bless.
I am looking to do just what the original poster was looking for:
When a user creates a new topic, the menu assigned to this new topic should be the same menu as the forum. It is currently using the default WordPress menu. Can someone point me to the right code and where to add it to automatically assign the right menu to new topics? I appreciate your help.
Hello!
BbPress 2.5.14 WordPress 4.9.4
I define the language of the user’s browser in the php template.
And I want to change the bbpress (.mo) translation languages depending on the browser language.
How can i do this?
possible, depends what you mean by ‘looks like’ – every detail?
try
bbp style pack
to get the style
I am struggling to implement a plugin / functionality to catch the likes and replies from a source user (giving the like/reply) and notify the destination user (the author of the post) in bbpress, the forum plugin from wordpress.
Are you aware of existing projects implementing this functionality in bbpress (even partially) ?
Which mechanisms / plugins are better to use to trigger actions in the frontend in this case? On the other hand, is it a better approach to put triggers on the database column?
I am more analyzing the database…it has good information, such as user id of the source user, post id. I am talking about the wp_posts table. However, the parent_post is the first post of the topic, so it is not the ierarhical parent post. I need somehow to identify the nested replies from the database, but I dont find the needed information there…
Thank you for your suggestions !
Hello,
i would like to know how to make my homepage as a forum. i mean when the user join my website he will directly see the forums. i dont want him to click the forum tab in menu and then join http://www.website.com/forum
like this website : https://www.utehub.com/
wordpres version : wordpress 4.9.4 , twent fifteen
bbpress version : 2.5.14
The site use wordpress.org and the theme is OceanWP. So now anybody can prove to use the bbpress plugin and see the screen that I was posted.
Not sure you can, and since users are allocated wordpress ID’s during import, which then link to the topics and replies, then a 2 stage import would not know which author to apply to which topic.
my style pack plugin has a latest activity widget that lets you display the above
bbp style pack
You can use Yoast plugin to display breadcrumb !
wp-dashboard –> Yoast –> search appearance –> breadcrumbs and then aticate it.
later on you will have to add a code to header.php
Full tutorial from here. if you have any question please don’t hesitate to ask me.
Thank you @robin-w! So the function I linked to activated the feature, and then I was able to copy the content-single-topic-lead.php into a bbpress folder in my theme, and edit it a bit like in your link. Feeling good about it.
I do have a question though, if anyone can help me figure this out (i’m new to php and am not familiar with the syntax). In the file https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php , on line 73, what this mean:
`<?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>’
That’s one of the few places I see the function called at all in the templates they edited. Still digging and learning. Thanks for any help or ideas.
Same question here. I am not a WordPress engineer. Will discuss this info with my friend, who is.
Thanks, Marten
