Hi. I’m new to WordPress. I’m creating a site and I wanted it to have a forum so I installed bbPress. There are 2 categories in the menu. Each of them contains forums. There’s 3 issues I have.
1) Under the text box for writing a comment, visitors to the site will see “Topic Type” and “Topic Status”, each with its own drop-down menu. I don’t want visitors to have access to those. I looked through all the forum settings and can’t find a way to get rid of them. How do I do it?
2) The font used for the menu is fine but the font used for the forum names is too small. Where do I increase the font size for forum names?
3) Is there something built in to the plugin that lets visitors rank or vote for posts? High-ranking posts would appear above other posts. Does the plugin have anything like this?
Thanks.
Thank you Chad – My apologies I’m still having trouble locating the files. Is this something I can do from the WordPress dashboard or do I need a FTP client?
Thanks again for the help
That’s what I feared, I just had to give it a try 😉 thank you.
I also recently posted another question in the WordPress forum. This one should be easy and advisable:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-31/
If you know that, I would very much appreciate your guidance. Thanks.
Ok. I want people to make their own site with wordpress multisite, I want all users to have one multisite and one say in the bb-press forums. I am not that good at php. Do you maybe know some articles which could help me make some php to do this? I don’t don’t know where to end or begin. Thank you.
Hi @tkserver
I will launch v1.0.3 today on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/
Sources are still on https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API/
The routes have slightly changed to comply with standard bbPress settings, but when you get the specific forum, e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-json/bbp-api/v1/forums/forum/5914 it would give you the details of the forum and the list of the 20 recent topics with the title, reply_count, permalink, author and avatar.
I see you also wanted the date posted, so let me add that one too before I commit.
If you see other things to add, let me know. But no guarantee on my response time in these weeks 🙂
Pascal.
PS. are you on slack so we could discuss ?
Wordpress Version 4.7.5
We have a new forum and two of my mods are listed as moderators under users, however they can’t access forums listed as “private” for some reason.
Even if I edit the private forum and list them as mods there as well they still can’t access.

Hi,
I know this post comes late but this can help.
I had the same issue and could not import as nothing was found in the PunnBB database.
Finally, I could do the import locally:
– export punBB database from distant host
– import to MAMP database1
– export WordPress database from distant host
– import to MAMP database2
– install WordPress localy
– run the importer
It worked great
Thank you for this tool!
Allowing untrusted users the ability to upload images to your site is one of those frequently requested but still pretty risky features we’ve so-far shied away from.
WordPress (and most server configs) don’t do the type of strict file/mime type checks you’d want before enabling this, so JPGs and GIFs can embed other weird stuff and most sites would have no idea.
There are some plugins out there to enable it, but it’s not something we’ll include with bbPress proper until WordPress (and most hosts) have a better setup under the hood.
It must have been wordpress-generated and I looked into it more and was able to find a way to change it (with some online help!) Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. I appreciate your time!!
Take care,
Kari
There are plugins that can share content across sites.
*But* I still don’t think in the scenario you’ve outlined that multisite is the answer, using one of the membership plugins should be able to “fence off” the content to different “user groups” on a single WordPress site.
Thats what caught me off when you said it supported multi-site, Im guessing WordPress isn’t able to provide what i need long-term. I can think of ways around it, but currently lacking the skills to make it happen.
Easiest way I could think of would be to have any plugin you want to access across the network, each have their own database. Use the WP side to generate the content and have it synced to a DB outside of WP. Treat each plugin like a separate module. Have each new site on the network access that module to pull the centralized files, just set access through permissions.
Guess ill go post up in the help wanted sections and see how many kidneys Ill need to sell lol
This is because you’re actually using an old version of bbPress 2.6. bbPress 2.6-RC3 is published on the WP.org plugin repo (although it’s a bit hard to find with the new design), so WordFence is using those files as the comparison. These are legitimate file changes, and I would recommend updating to 2.6-RC3. Below is the official download link
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-3.zip
@jwill207, Without seeing the page you’re trying to change, it’s hard to say what you need to do.
@5unnykum4r, This is a separate issue. Please start a new topic, and provide some extra details. Also, it appears that you’re not using bbPress, so it might be better to post your question here, https://wordpress.org/support/.
@karilistermanyahoocom
The default from email address for bbPress emails is noreply@(url).com. If you’re seeing wordpress@(url).com, it’s either not an email sent by bbPress, or you’re using a plugin that is changing the from address for all emails sent.
To change the bbPress email, you would use the filter bbp_get_do_not_reply_address. For most (if not all) emails sent by your WordPress install, you’d use the wp_mail_from filter.
Can I change who my members receive an email from when they sign up to “reply@(url).com” instead of wordpress@(url).com?
All right,
But I need registration only through my page – my f-orum. Not by redirecting wordpress.

I’m using 4.8 WordPress version.
I just installed bbPress plugin that error occurs.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks.
thank you for your kind donation
plugin support page for style pack is
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
post there and I’ll pick it up
if you are using the bbpress login widget then this has options for a registration page
Otherwise, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so just google
‘wordpress custom registration’ and you’ll find tips, tools and plugins that should sort you !!
if there is supposed to be a redirect when someone isn’t logged in
No. When inaccessible pages are requested, a 404 is returned.
I want to prevent non logged-in users from viewing this 404 page because it has a list of all the pages within my website, and I need to keep that accessible only to logged-in users.
I’ve created a Trac ticket to get more development discussion on the idea here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3118
Hi,
I need to change my registration page so that users sign up for my site. So they did not push for a wordpress registration or login. Can be done?
well thank you
my style pack plugin stops unregistered users seeing profile
bbp style pack
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>profile
I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.
No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.
I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.
Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.
Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?
I’m on my own domain, multi site install.

Hi @atmojones
I too am very interested in this ‘autocomplete tag’ enhancement for bbpress too. I’m new to WordPress, but it sounds like it would be indispensable if you are running a forum and don’t want your Users to make a mess of your tagging system Did you have any luck with finding a solution?
This problem suddenly arose recently. Eventually tracked it down to the PHP version I was using. I had php 7.1.3 was was designated as ‘Leading (edge)’. Went back to 5.6.30 which was designated as ‘Stable’ and all is well on 3 sites.
May be coincidence but it occurred only after the latest WordPress reelase.
