the patch might not be created right. I don’t think you create the patch from the plugin version but maybe the latest alpha version or the latest version you can download from the trunk using SVN.
You can download/download using SVN using the url from here.

Are you sure how you inserted the filter will not cause any issues?
I am specifically talking about how $blacklist = both of these.
$blacklist = trim( get_option( 'moderation_keys' ) );
$blacklist = apply_filters('bbp_moderation_keys', $blacklist);
Here are a bunch of helpful guides that I am just going to drop here.
Working With Patches
Installing Via SVN
I am running a WordPress network with the latest version of Buddypress and bbpress. The site is http://theglobalschool.net/science and it is run for high school students.
My problem is that every time a blog is viewed, that viewer is added as a user, which makes things very confusing after a short while. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? I noticed there is a checkbox in the settings for forums but it doesn’t seem to resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Rob.
Thanks so much Robkk.
I’ll take a look at those files, and see if any plugins might do the trick.
I am using some custom code I found *somewhere* (!! maybe here haha??) to include Forum results in general WordPress Search results, which works well enough, but of course this is from a site-search, not the BBPress search function.
Here it is in case anyone else stumbles across this thread and wants to extend WordPress searches to include Forum results (without adding a plugin):
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

1. Well yeah the cache staying not removing is the issue, it could be a bug in WordPress itself since that caches the oembeds. What peice of code did you use to fix this?
12. I couldn’t duplicate the issue on latest Firefox on W10 using the html5 blank theme.
Yeah I know, I bookmarked most of the suggestions for features for the bbPress plugin on this site, but if you are experiencing some kind of issue, then why not help out too.
What I got from you that could possibly make the bbPress plugin are.
option to turn off feeds.
add topic auto-suggestion (might be better for the forum search though)
Integrate some plugins like report content (maybe external links)
Export and import settings
View counter
Custom notices
Specific forum permissions
Avatar system
Most of the SEO things could be best to have in a separate plugin, or should be left to the theme and how it is set up.
@pinkishhue
The forum requests and feedback is for this type of thing. If you think some codex article should be available, features should be in bbPress, this site bbpress.org should have some style fixes, etc. this forum is where you post all that in. If you need to create a new topic with a list of suggestions in a list from yourself, you can do that.
The way the menu items show up has always been like that since bbPress v1 standalone. It could be easier for users to see all the post types in one section, this might need another opinion though. I think it is fine either way though. It will be annoying to change all the codex articles if we do change that though haha.
Alright I am going to just test out this theme later today to see all the issues it presents and try to resolve them.
Try this on a local development server or just a test site in general o the site you are trying to import from. Cloning the whole site might be the best way to import from one WordPress site to another WordPress site.

Going to reinstall WordPress and bbPress and budypress
I’ve just created a ticket, hopefully in the correct way…

Hi Rob
Sorry but I am really at a loss here.
The What The File plugin directed me to the index.php, I copied this to my child theme and pasted the suddested code in there, this changed my layout dramatically when viwing the forum and search results, but did noting to help with the problem, still not getting forum results in the bbpress search.
I also tried adding the code suggested in the thread, to add forum to the wp search, and installed both plugin fixes, but still wordpress ignores the forum in it’s searches.
The issue is that my forum is useless without a decent search function.
Please help.
BBCode Deluxe (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbcode-deluxe/) adds BBCode markup (and other shortcodes) to WordPress and BBPress. This plugin is a fork of the unmaintained (but well loved and used) “bbPress2 BBCode” plugin by Anton Channing (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/).
This plugin includes code from the below listed developers and their plugins. More BBCodes/shortcodes will be added (such as the rest of the BBCodes from “Video and Audio BBCodes”).

Hi,
I am in the process of converting Joomla!/SMF portal into WP/bbPress. WordPress I used is 4.3 and bbPress 2.5.8. I managed to convert Joomla! to WP but I keep getting into problems with SMF.
Users from SMF get migrated without a problem. However, migrating topics is a bit of a problem. It’s a large forum with 6885 topis and over 80000 posts. Topic migration keeps getting stuck after ~6500 topics. I tried removing topics that I assumed to be the issue but it didn’t help. I removed large number of topics – it didn’t help. Converter simply gets into loop. Restarting migration doesn’t help.
Neither PHP nor MySQL have any restrictions – it’s a server I’m administering and for this particular scenario I’ve let PHP consume all the memory it needed. It didn’t help. I’ve tried changing row limit to even 1, it’s still the same.
Any suggestion will be most welcome. Thank you.
I will note this as a possible feature request. Having a unique blacklist might be a good idea, there might be a way to hook into WordPress’s blacklist function and specify words only for bbPress, but I do not know at the moment, sorry.
Does clearing any cache help solved the issue?? THis could be from server cache, cloudflare cache, or regular caching plugins for WordPress.
Can you link to the site so I can see everything that is happening for the user profiles?
Try bulk editing a user in Users > All Users, and give them a forum role if they do not seem to have the default bbPress roles and see if that fixes anything.
Are you importing from another WordPress/bbPress site?
I also think how you imported everything could be a possibility of why the profiles are screwed up.
I guess you could hide the profiles but the profile links would link to nothing.
I’m experiencing this issue, where edited bbress forum posts keep showing up again in the buddypress activity feed.
I saw that there is a ticket and patch for this. The question is how do I install a patch? Do I just ftp to my server and drop the patch file into the appropriate directory?
It looks like it’s patching this bbpress file: src/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php
Ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690
Patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2690/2690.01.patch
@Robkk , thank you for your time.
1. I did see the option for oEmbeds. However, after disabling oEmbeds and using WP-Sweep to remove all oEmbeds, WP-Sweep still finds oEmbeds after a few days. Currently, I wrote my own code to disable them.
5. The Report content plugin has not been updated since November of 2014.
12. True, I have tried BuddyPress’s upload-avatar feature and the various upload-avatar plugins, but they no longer work after I upgraded by website to HTML5. Notice that I mentioned that I can still upload media via the backend. My backend is using HTML4. You are right though, this is probably something for WordPress to implement rather than BBPress.
Have you ever looked into the Advanced Custom Fields plugin?
Home
If you’re not afraid to touch some WordPress template files this plugin is for you.
It’s kinda difficult to example what this plugin really does in a short description because it can be used for so many options – Ill give it a try..
What it does:
It creates from your dashboard custom relationships between WordPress Post Types.
For Example:
You have WooCommerce up and running and when you’re creating blog posts you wished you had some extra option fields below your Categories section. In this option field you wished to had the ability to add X products to this Posts you’re creating.
This plugin can handle this for you easily..
You just create a Field Group, call it WooCommerce for example, or whatever you want.
Set the location where this Field Groep has to show up > Posts and only when Category B is secreted ( for example )
Add a number of fields to your newly created WooCommerce Field Groep and hit Save.
After that visit Add New Posts and look underneath your categorie section. You probably won’t see a thing at first but as soon as you select ‘Category B’ this new option field will show up and you can add your Products to this blog posts.
—-
Only where it becomes a little tricky/bold is when you want to show those products on the frontend of your website. You’ll need to use the Advanced Custom Fields PHP function tags inside your theme template files. Lucky for us, the Advanced Custom Fields website has a great documentation about that. Even beginners can start simple if they are not afraid to edit WordPress Theme template (.php) files.
Start reading here.. After using this plugin a few times I think you’ll fall in love with this.
Creating a Field Group
Just curious, for some reason it doesn’t work anymore..
I’ve done this for many years now, visit the Trunk and download the latest version with all raw changes. Activate it locally and run some tests, create themes, make changes..
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
Right now, when I download this latest raw version of bbPress and activate it in my local environment it doesn’t do the trick it should do for me. bbPress native styles will not load frontend and in the dashboard the icon font is broken, probably lots more doesn’t work like normal.
I just want to install a clean and lean bbPress version only in raw alpha/beta state.
Thanks,

could anyone help on this?
thanks!
Problem/Scenario – On my website (http://dcjtech.info/) using the latest version of WordPress, BBPress, and BuddyPress, I closed a topic in my forum. Now, the tags belonging to the closed topic are listed as “empty topic tags”. This issue is always reproducible.
Specific Example – For instance, I closed a topic (http://dcjtech.info/topic/lindows/) and then I see under “Dashboard > Topic > Topic Tags” that “linspire” has a count of zero. Also, in the BBPress statistics widget, it says there are twenty “empty topic tags”. However, http://dcjtech.info/tag/linspire/ lists the Lindows topic as a topic with the “linspire” tag.
Question – Why do these “empty topic tags” appear/form when closing a topic and how can it be fixed and prevented?
Similar Thread on BBPress.org – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/empty-topic-tags/
Hi there – I’ve googled; searched plugins and read a fair bit here. My question is about changing the way search results for BBPress display.
I’m using the Avada theme 3.8.3
Wordpress 4.2.4
BBPress 2.5.8
There are a couple of issues – only in the visual appearance of BBPress search results, and I need some tips as to how to fix it!
- Search results are not well distinguished (compared to our previous ExpressionEngine forum, where admittedly, the forum post content was not shown, but it easy to see the list of topics and results). A mix of “Topics” and “Replies To” are shown
- Search results may include several posts from the one topic, but these are not collated (they are displayed in order of recency, and usually appear in between the other search results)
- Search results with long forum posts take up too much page realestate
Please see these two screenshots that illustrate the difference:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/04ndkdsjlpa5k8j/avada-forum-search.jpg?dl=0

Clearly the search results are very thorough, and I’m looking for help to represent them more efficiently.
- What template would I look for?
- How can I change the loop so that the results are more like our old forum?
Thanks in advance – feel free to point me to any plugins I may have missed.

Hi all I know this question has been asked many a time but nothing I try seems to work
I have a client who has an existing site that is hugely based around a bbPress forum
I have moved the forum and all users over using these plugins
Cimy User Manager
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-manager/
First used Cimy so that when I imported the forums the correct users would be present to prevent author issues.
bbPress Import / Export
https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import
Next used this import export plugin only allows you to do one forum at a time and was hard to find the initial export spot (you have to go forum>”forum name”>On the right hand side under update it will be there). To import you must create the forum first and then in the same spot where you found the export button is the import button
Found these fixes for the plugin on this forum post
bbpress wp4 fix2
bbpress wp4 fix
Integrating bbPress with the Warp7 framework
Next I installed my theme
http://yootheme.com/demo/wordpress/frequency
Then I did this:
“copy the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder into the /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ folder and then copying the files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/extras/ into the /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ folder”
So this fixed most of my major issues except a couple
First off every user profile page looks like this
http://screencast.com/t/26t9FgsH0maC
and doesnt populate with the correct information that can be seen on the current site
Every user you click comes to a profile page where there name is just profile
The other problem I have is how can I now style this page the transparent background isnt really a possibility with this theme
If anyone can help me out that would be great
Thanks
Worpress version: 4.3
bbPress version: 2.5.8
Sorry for the late reply, I just approved this post.
The topic you went to is 5 years ago when bbPress was a standalone forum software but the latest version of bbPress IS A PLUGIN of WordPress.
If you are using the latest bbPress plugin, you are using the WordPress dashboard to manage all your topics, replies, and forums.
I think you disabled the forum search or just haven’t enabled it.
As an alternative you can also include the bbPress posts into the regular WordPress search.
Plugin, snippet, hack to include bbpress topics in wordpress search
From what I could see, on your bbPress pages there was blog post data like the continue reading button.
You may need to create a bbpress.php file to get rid of all the post meta data on your bbPress pages.
