ok, I presume you have a website running wordpress that you want to add this to?
How can I delete a post or threads from my forums?
I am new to WordPress and coming from IPB finding it very difficult to delete a post or thread
I can see anywhere to delete a post but apparently there a few steps to do this
any reason why its not like IPB for example?
just select delete and then delete ?
thanks
In a word – no !
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
I ran the repairs and the problem still remains.
This is perplexing. When I compare the slow forums to the not slow forums I don’t see a difference. Both are under multiple “category” forums… (I was originally thinking maybe it’s slow because it’s two categories deep… but the faster forums are too.)
Slow:
HOME / FORUMS / ACIM LESSONS / LESSON 1 / LESSON 1 – INSIGHTS
Fast:
HOME / FORUMS / ACIM TEXT / PREFACE & INTRODUCTION / PREFACE & INTRODUCTION – INSIGHTS
————-
I was wondering if it’s a database issue? I looked to see if we had similarly titled pages that could be confusing WordPress. We do have similar pages:
Slow Forum:
HOME / FORUMS / ACIM LESSONS / LESSON 1 / LESSON 1 – INSIGHTS
WordPress page:
HOME / ACIM LESSONS / LESSON 1 /
— So, I changed those to the following:
Slow Forum:
HOME / FORUMS / ACIM LESSONS / LESSON 1 FORUM / LESSON 1 – INSIGHTS
WordPress page:
HOME / ACIM LESSON INDEX / LESSON 1 /
After changing I deleted old revisions and optimized database. The slow forums remained slow.
————-
You could just say to try to delete and recreate the slow ones… but there’s 365 top level category forums and each category has two categories within for a total of 1,095 forums to recreate.
(Before I get beat up on that, these are forums for a lesson book with 365 lessons and we wanted two categories within each lesson (sharing and Q&A))

Thank you for continuing to help me figure this out!
Hi there
I am using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and BBPress v2.5.8. I am using a magazine theme called Soledad which allows a number of custom sidebars.
After setting the forum root to community (and I removed the shortcode from a page) and seeing that I did not have a sidebar, I created a new bbpress.php in a child theme to enable it.
At first the sidebar was showing as the default one on the main forum index and the individual forums and topics were showing a custom side bar that I had assigned to posts (it shows the author bio)
After I installed BB WP Tweaks, the main forum index page is showing the correct side bar after adding in the widgets into the BBPress sidebar. However, individual forums and topics are still showing the sidebar assigned to post.
Any help much appreciated. I have read the how to page on setting up specific sidebars, but not luck.
Thanks
Laura
I’ve been puzzled as to how useful showing the user how many “empty topic tags” there are in the bbPress stats widget. I also don’t really care to show the user how many topic tags there are either. SO, I decided to make my own bbPress stats plugin, which I just published in the WordPress plugins repository here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tk-bbpress-stats/
This stats plugin allows the admin to choose which stats to show, which is nice. I’m still trying to figure out how to get screen shots to appear in the WP SVN, but you can see the stats live on one of my bbPress deployments at Ute Hub.
Hi,
Is this the standard /forums ? Then start creating a standard WordPress page and add the [bbp-forum-index] on it. Now you can add any other shortcut or text on this same page.

Hello!
Our site is getting ready to launch soon and I’ve built out the forum structure to our liking but in testing we see that posting a new topic or replying to a topic in CERTAIN FORUMS can take up to 20 seconds after hitting submit for the post to save and appear. In all other forums it takes only 3 seconds. While I wish both were faster, how do we figure out what the 20 second delay is about?
Add this to the mix: Deleting a reply on the backend for the slow forum also takes 20 seconds compared to 3 seconds to delete for other forums…
20 second to post topic and delete reply forums:

3 second to post topic and delete reply forums:
ACIM Text
Thank you for your help 🙂

Hello,
I am trying to import a vbulletin 4.2.2 installation into bbpress and it fails importing the replies without leaving me errors, it just hangs and keeps posting dashes (-) into the progress logs even after stopping it and resuming.
Wordpress and bbpress versions are the latest available as of today 20th of March 2016.
Our vbulletin database has around 11000 users, 600 sub-forums, 30000 threads and around 800000 posts
As the work is being done in local before atempting it on the server i am unable to give links.
If in need of more informations let me know
Thanks in advance for the support
Regards
2.6 is incredibly stable, its nearing, and has been, pretty close to being ready for release for quite some time, bbpress.org and wordpress.org are using 2.6 perfectly if that helps.
Is that on a public site ? Then a link would be great.
I need to understand is that is the bbPress search or the WordPress search.
Pascal.
Hi Adri,
Sorry to come back on this thread, but I have some Dutch WP colleagues that can discuss WPML with you if you want to join on slack. Short procedure:
• Login with your wordpress.org account on this link: https://wordpress.org/support/bb-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fchat%2F
• Scroll on that page (https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) to “Joining the WordPress team on Slack” and enter your email address
• Check your email and you will have a “user@chat.wordpress.org” account
• Activate your account on https://wordpress.slack.com/
• Use that created account on https://wpnl.slack.com/signup to signup to the Dutch WordPress community

@ sziban Cool, 1st up, you should use the development version bbPress 2.6-alpha, it has some improvements for anonymous users, you can get it from https://bbpress.org/download/
Take a look at the phpBB and SMF importers for good examples:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php
In particular, the following was added to add support to import topics and replies from “anonymous” users.
So rather than trying to import each of your legacy anonymous users as WordPress users the changes above will assign each of them to the built in bbPress anonymous user, and assign the “legacy” “nickname” to the imported topic or reply, its kind of cool and I’m pretty sure it will do what you are after.
Let me know how it goes or any other questions you may have 🙂

I hope you can help me.
Great to hear.
For slack:
– Login with your wordpress.org account on this link: https://wordpress.org/support/bb-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fchat%2F
– Scroll on that page to “Joining the WordPress team on Slack” and enter your email address

load my style pack, and you’ll find a shortcode to do just this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
Unfortunately not.
Do you have the possibility to switch to a standard wordpress theme ?
Or deactivate all plugins except bbPress ? Then reactivate one by one

Hi,
bbPress translation files comes automatically and the ‘search’ button is in the translated list:
value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>"
But I see you also have ‘topics’, ‘posts’ and ‘freshness’, so nothing is translated.
Can you please tell me:
1) in what language locale your WordPress is running in ?
Dashboard > Settings > General Settings > Site Language
2) What version of WordPress and bbPress you are using ?
Pascal.
Hi all,
I migrated my website on a new server, all is fine with wordpress, it works but i’ve no acces in the forum settings, BBPress don’t see me as admin when i’m connected with the website as admin, i’ve no admin link in my back office.
My BBPres is up to date; my WP too
thanks
Gilles
@vadim77
I fixed my issue by using the default wordpress search (not bb search widget) and by adding this snippet into my functions.php. This snippet adds the bbpress hook into the default search and works like a charm (adds topics & replies) to search results. This will also make it much easier styling the search results page consistently (forum results vs blog / page results).
Thanks to: @undergroundnetwork for your snippet!
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/
So I can help others – what version of wordpress are you running?
@vadim77
You are correct! When you change the + symbol in between the words to %20, everything works as it’s supposed to.
@Robkk
Considering the change from the + symbol to %20 works, what would our next steps be in order to get this working properly? If we can get the search to return the %20 as the separator, everything should be fine.
I have tried this within the 2015 / 2016 default wordpress themes with the same issue. Plugins running are Ultimate Member, bbpress & WP SMTP
