Yes, you sure can, either way you mention would work, another option is multisite.
That said, for either way you mention you’d utilise “shared user tables”
See this codex doc on setting that up: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables
Hi Davidnator,
Is it this bug you’re encountering?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2414
If so it happens when a post is being moved/trashed or marked as spam and can be solved by posting a new post.

Hi,
I am also having the same issue. Have been sitting here for 4 hours trying to fixed it.
i have tried:
disabling all plugins
change to default wordpress themes and other themes
still does not work.
forum is here:
http://www.joannalwleng.com/singleparentworkingmum/your-voice/
but topic can be foind here:
http://www.joannalwleng.com/singleparentworkingmum/forum/
i am running on multisite but bbpress and buddypress are sitewide forum, no groups and only activated on sub-site.
Stephen. I did exactly what you just said. Installed wordpress, bbpress, clean fresh installs, no other customizing of any kind, twentysixteen theme, and the reply button refreshes the page and takes the user to the reply-form. Add a twentysixteen child theme with the reply.js file in a js folder and nothing changes.
What I mean was to do this step by step, don’t try to do everything at once.
Install WordPress and bbPress and don’t do anything else.
Now is it working?
Hi there, I have run into the exact same error but am unable to solve it.
– WordPress 4.6.1
– bbpress 2.5.10
– Great! Theme 0.14
Every reply to a topic is displayed as a huge bar right under the admin bar. Any idea how I can troubleshoot this?
Help would be really appreciated as I would like to stay with bbpress for the site.
Thanks a bunch,
Sebastian
PS: There are no sticky notes configured
Created a second subdomain, right from scratch, added wordpress, added bbpress, added a child theme, uploaded the reply.js file to a js folder at the root of the child theme. Did no other customizations whatsoever. Same functionality as before.

Hi Stephen. That’s what I did. On my staging site, I started with wordpress, added bbpress, setup a child theme linked to twentysixteen with no customizations, added the reply.js file, and it didn’t work.
I know without logging in you can’t see the reply functionality, but this is my staging subdomain. You can see it’s just a completely base wordpress install with bbpress and nothing else added. And the reply.js file makes no difference in functionality. http://staging.universaltheosophy.com/forums/topic/test-topic/
Yes
(bbPress uses WordPress users for account/password management)
Maybe try going back a step or two further…
Start with WordPress, add bbPress, does it work?
From there then incrementally add your customisations.
Hi there,
We’re having quite a few issues with bbPress we’re hoping someone here can help us solve. We’ve mined the forums ourselves and tried a number of fixes and plugins to no avail. We’re working with WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.10. Unfortunately I can’t share a link to the forum (it’s available by login only). Any and all thoughts or suggestions are welcome!
The main features we are having trouble with include:
1) getting the subscribe/notifications settings to work (this has been the biggest headache, we have installed the Postmark and AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions plugins and neither have helped)
2) having the ability to keep selected posts at the top of the discussion threads (the Sticky pr “pin to top” function)
3) Allowing formatting on the images that are posted in the forum
4) Sending private messages through the forum
5) Having a search function within the forum
Can anyone suggest some good resources for us to figure out how to best install these features?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help.
Best,
Trish
Is it possible to install bbPress on a separate WordPress either in sub-domain or sub-directory of the main domain provided that both sites can be accessible with a single login?
Ok, so I played around a lot with my site: changing the theme, disabling plugins, etc. etc. and nothing made any difference. So I went to my staging subdomain, stripped everything down to a basic wordpress install; created a child theme linked to twentysixteen; uploaded your reply.js file; then installed bbpress; added a single topic, and went to that topic to test the reply. The reply functioned exactly as it does on our site: i.e. click “reply” and the page reloads, and the user is brought to the reply-form.
I don’t know what else to think of this. The reply.js file you gave just doesn’t seem to change anything. Any ideas what’s going on? Did I put it in the wrong place or something? Do I need to add something somewhere else to make sure that js is activated ???
I’m at a loss for what to do here.
My project involves using WordPress Multisite for 10, possibly more, sites in subdirectories using the same host.
The domain is the umbrella for the organization with each site being a division of the organization each containing multiple Categories, Subcategories, Sub-sub-categories, Topics, Subtopics etc etc sharing a common userbase for single login.
What I need is to have each division/site to have it’s own BBpress forum each containing multiple Categories, Subcategories, Sub-sub-categories, Forums, Sub-forums Topics, Subtopics etc etc sharing a common userbase for single login.
Is this possible to do with BBpress?
All suggestions appreciated.
This sounds CSS related, but unfortunately I have to login to see these items on your site.
If you want to, create a subscriber/participant account and send the details to my email listed here.
https://robkkdev.wordpress.com/contact/
After I take a look and see if I can fix the issue with css, and after posting the solution on these forums, I will tell you to delete the account later.
It works fine for me, remember to use a topic tags id instead of a name.
[bbp-single-tag id=$tag_id] – Display a list of all topics associated with a specific tag. eg. [bbp-single-tag id=64]
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
To find a topic tags id, you can go to Topics > Topic Tags in the WordPress backend, then edit a topic tag and look at the url. You should see something like this. You can also hover over each edit link and look at the bottom left and see the same url appear. You will see tag_ID=(number).
yoursite.com/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=topic-tag&tag_ID=4&post_type=topic&…
To make it easier to find an ID of a post, tag, user, you can also install the Reveal IDs plugins to add a column to tables that show the ID.
I saw you also posted in the BuddyPress forums. If by any chance you are also using BuddyPress, you can activate the groups feature which works with bbPress to have group forums. BuddyPress is a really handy tool to use for great LMS sites.
Bundle bbPress+BuddyPress up with this plugin and you would have to do less work that you would have to with Robins plugin. This plugin sets up a course to a group, and forums to each group you create automatically.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sensei-buddypress/
You might want to check out BuddyBoss and their other products as well, because I think they are working on other plugins/themes for bbPress+BuddyPress and Sensei.
I’m trying to use this shortcode and it’s not working. I saw this issue was reported several times by the past and it seemed to be resolved but it’s still not working for me.
I think this was the original ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1948
I want to achieve the same comportment – get a list of topics classified under a specific topic tag. Is there a way I can get the shortcode to work OR could you help me code a workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
If you could export data from your Discourse into RSS feeds, I think you could use WPPipes and its add-on to import into bbPress on WP site.
Best Regards!
Update: if you disable “Allow Akismet to actively prevent forum spam” under Settings > Forums, this will allow members who have been given the unfiltered_html capability to post replies freely without them being marked as spam. Aside from fully disabling it, I haven’t found a way to stop Akismet from marking the replies as spam. If anyone knows how, please share.
Note: use the wordpress plugin “User Role Editor” to enable the unfiltered_html capability. It can be done on a user-by-user basis, so you can select only those you fully trust, or by member roles, so, for instance, you could use “contributor” for those you trust, instead of “subscriber” and enable unfiltered_html for the contributor role.
When someone makes a reply to one of our topics, the automatic emails sent to subscribers of the topic contains style formatting that makes it very difficult to read.
This is an example from a recent reply:
<p class="MsoNormal">“The two schools of Buddha's doctrine, the esoteric and the exoteric, are respectively called the ‘Heart’ and the ‘Eye’ Doctrine. Bodhidharma called them in China — from whence the names reached Tibet — the <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Tsung-men</span> (esoteric) and <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Kiau-men</span> (exoteric school). It is so named, because it is the teaching which emanated from Gautama Buddha's <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">heart</span>, whereas the ‘Eye’ Doctrine was the work of his head or brain. The ‘Heart Doctrine’ is also called ‘the seal of truth’ or the ‘true seal, a symbol found on the heading of almost all esoteric works.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Secret Heart" is the esoteric doctrine.</p>

This happens when people copy/paste into their reply from another program (i.e. Word, etc.). How can we strip this formatting in the emails?
Details: we’re using the TinyMCE editor for replies, with “Text” and “Visual” field options. If members paste into the “text” field and then switch to the “visual” field before posting, there’s no issue, as wordpress cleans the content itself. But if people paste into the visual field, the formatting remains and gets sent as part of the auto email.
Also, we’re currently running bbpress 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.
Using v.2.5.10 of bbpress and v.4.6.1 of WordPress.
Canvas v.5.11.2
WooFramework v.6.2.8
Has anyone seen this before (page is not live yet, so I can only link to a screen shot)
https://www.evernote.com/l/AB6XG24Bc4FPi5WEsmEsm03JZB9jYlXURvc
I turned the “Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting” setting off and then on again. No change.
It works fine in Twenty Sixteen, but I’m a little baffled as to how to troubleshoot further — Isn’t Canvas a super pared down theme? What might I be doing wrong with it?
Thanks
Ideally you should be using a child theme for your custom bbPress templates. That way you don’t have to worry about this issue 🙂
Take a look on the docs codex for some help with getting started with custom templates:
https://codex.bbpress.org/?s=child+theme
With that said though, here is a link showing the changes from 2.5.9 to 2.5.10, it’s a single change to includes/users/template.php, and is quite important you upgrade your templates with this change.
