You can just hide it using below custom CSS code on your site as described here http://freewptp.com/how-to-use-custom-css-in-wordpress-site/

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form label[for="bbp_anonymous_website"],
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form #bbp_anonymous_website {
    display:none;
}

Or you can overwrite following bbPress template file in your child theme and remove website field code from it.

/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

It seems you are getting 500 Internal Server Error so please try fixing it as described on the following page.

Well we’re all waiting for breaking news for bbPress release or rc4 but online timesheets it is not. And seeing as user onlinetimesheets’ system is built on Microsoft ASP.Net 4 it seems unlikely to make much use of bbPress..

Now, could we get the bbPress on wordpress.org to add the Plugin name (Forum title) to the email alerts? It’s tiring getting all the alerts with no context about which plugin they refer to.

Something like this should do it:

function add_the_plugin_name_please( $message, $reply_id, $topic_id ){
  $topic_title  = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
  $forum_title = bbp_get_topic_forum_title($topic_id);

  $messageheader = sprintf( __( 'New post in Forum "%1$s", Topic "%2$s".', 'wordpress-org' ),
    $forum_title,
    $topic_title
  );
  $messagefooter .= "\r\n" . "\r\n" . __('Thankyou for participating on wordpress.org', 'wordpress-org' );
    
  return $messageheader . "\r\n" . "\r\n" . $message . "\r\n" . $messagefooter;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_mail_message', 'add_the_plugin_name_please', 10, 3);

Hello. My new site is not up yet, so I cannot give a link, however, what I would like to know is that on the main page of the bbpress forum, the category name and description for all the forum, has too much space in between them. I would like to reduce the spacing in between all category names/description. How to do this?

When you look at the screenshot of the website page in particular, you will notice the spacing is large between New and Updates and the description and also between the other categories and their description. I want to be able to see more categories on the page and compact the line spacing. Thank you.

Wordpress version – 4.8.1
bbpress version – 2.5.13

I am using the latest version of WordPress and BBPress and Divi theme with the Membership works plugin.
When you click on a topic the “feed” goes out of the theme and there is no way to reply. I have turned off most plugins to see if that was the conflict.

I have also tried bbpress on a different divi themed site and it worked right away.

Thanks

Hello,
I am using the newest versions of both wordpress and bbpress. My website is forum.campexpo365.com. My question is, how do I add a menu to my site that appears on every page of my forum. I want the menu have options to take you back to the home page, contact page, about page, and to link to the main site page which is in a different location (campexpo365.com).

Archived old site: imapiece .com/connect1/
New wordpress site curently being developed: imapiece .com/
WP version: 4.8.1
BBPress Version: 2.5.13
(I broke the links and removed the https:// because the previous posts I made where all the links worked were never approved by mods and stayed in limbo, just take out the space before .com and they’ll work)

I am moving my current guild forums from PHPbb to buddypress/bbpress in wordpress.
There is one thing I can’t seem to find, and ive been looking around everywhere and it seems im not the only one looking.
bbpress .org/forums/topic/looking-for-an-application-plugin

Here is what im looking for, user registers and then applys for a specific group by going to a page with the php form and on submission the post is made in a specified forum.

So lets say there is a page with links to the groups pages and on each page is a application to join that group because the cosplayers have different questions than car guys or wow players. User fills out the app and when they submit it creates a new thread in that groups recruitment forum.

Here is the addon that I use with phpbb
phpbb .com/customise/db/extension/application_form

Here are some screenshots of it in its current use

Front end application

Then it creates a new post with New Application from %username

Then in the output view it has it in its own post

Has anyone seen ANYTHING from bbpress or buddy press that can do this? I have been looking and as mentioned I can’t find a solution anywhere. Closest I found was an option in gravity forms to send to trello or via email but that doesn’t make a new thread in a pre determined forum where community members can access and respond to it. I’m bootstrapping this myself if anyone knows a place that contracts this stuff out. I don’t have a lot of money, but the guild is dying and i dont know what else I can do.

Thank you for any information you may have available,
InTempest

ok, you have two choices

either use the default wordpress lost password and register

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name

or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url

eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg

Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]

Then in the widget you would put

http://mysite.com/password/

you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

[Robin W]

can you check what versions of php each is using.

If you can’t immediately tell from your host details, this plugin will add it to the dashboard

Display PHP Version

Hello,
I’m not sure which version of wordpress and bbpress I’m using but I just downloaded it so I would assume it’s the most recent version.
I’m trying to build a wordpress site which acts purely as a forum. I am using the twenty sixteen theme, I loaded bbpress and I got the opening setup but I can’t add an option to register or retrieve lost password. I tried adding it to the widget as well as using wordpress tweaks, none of it worked. In addition, for some reason, the login suddenly switched to text, [bbpress login], instead of showing the login box which used to be there. My site is forum.campexpo365.com. Thank you

[daltmc]

I’ve deleted bbpress and reinstalled and every problem persisted. It seemed none of the bbpress data was removed. Although in the add plugins page it tells me bbpress has not been tested with my version of WordPress.

[daltmc]

I see that, at least it’s not an isolated issue. I did a similar work around with naming a page forum and using the index short code. We created so many test forums and such when we first had issues that it’s very cluttered. We’re working on limping along using only topics.

Are you on the newest version of wordpress? My theory is it’s either our premium theme or the new WP.

[lupacexi]

Hi there,

I am currently using the below versions of WordPress and BBPress:
BBPress version 2.5.12
Image Upload for BBPress Plugin version 1.1.14
WP version 4.8

My website is myfertilityfocus.com (the forum is for members only).

When I originally installed the ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ plugin, there was an option for setting the dimensions of the image that was being uploaded to a post. Now this seems to have disappeared. If a member wants to post an image, there is no way for them to set the dimensions. Do you know what has happened here? Images are ending up way too big on members’ posts!

Hi,
I’m trying to move my entire WordPress site to another server. I export users, forums, replies and topics but when I try to import the topics I get the “WordPress Import assign authors” for every single user in my site even though I have already imported the users first.
What is the best way to go about exporting and importing BBpress and users?
Thank you,
Chris

I am sure you know, there are plugins that do that for the WordPress comments, so that even commenters who do not have a WordPress account on that site can check a box to receive email alerts of new comments.

wasn’t aware of that.

I don’t know of any plugin that does this for bbpress.

[fdarn]

They can’t comment without entering their name and email address anyway, so is there a plugin for bbPress that will add that name and email address to a mailing list and allow them to receive email alerts of new comments to that post?

if a user is logged out, then wordpress does not know who they are, so I am struggling to understand how it would know which user to subscribe ??

Hello guys,

Is there any chance to have this plugin integrated in bbpress?

WP Editor Imgur Button

Would be a perfect addition!

The idea is to users upload images directly to imgur.com and post in the forum…

[darrennye]

After reading many forums, and trying many other themes, I found that all stock wordpress themes, had no issue with the right margin on bbpress content (and the submit button) from being cut off. Disabling all plugins also made no difference. So I went back to WooThemes and had another chat with a tech, and I explained all this to them. Nicole immediately knew what the problem was. I added the following to Canvas > Settings > Custom CSS:

/* ADDED FOR BBPRESS COMPATIBILITY */
fieldset { width: auto; }

Wallah!! That did it.

I asked her to please put this in the next WooThemes Canvas update, so others don’t have to spend days figuring this out.

[kariellen35]

That suggestion worked perfectly! Thanks so much!!

For anyone interested, you can edit any part of the wordpress email messages (/buddypress/bbpress) because they are all tied together) by going here to download this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-email-editor/

There are a couple more ways to customize the emails and the tutorial is here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-a-custom-welcome-email-to-new-users-in-wordpress/

Thanks for your help Robin! 🙂

I had a lot of trouble getting registration to work on my site until someone told me my host doesn’t support “membership plugins” which I think means I can’t make login and register pages with short-code like [bbp-login]. So to log people in I just use the default WordPress login. I put “/wp-admin” at the end of my domain to load the page. Then I made a custom link to load it and did the same for register and reset password. Now people can log in and post.
