Hey @macpress, you were close, very close on your second post here, we’re using Grunt, not Gulp as part of our build process. 😉
Anyway the overall summary is that certain styles are compiled from SCSS into CSS, or minified CSS, or minified JS via our Grunt build tools.
A more in depth document (that has not yet made it into our codex) on all of this can be found here:
https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress#bbpress
If you don’t want to install NodeJS and Grunt we have another /trunk SVN repo that has everything already compiled https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip via the “developer version” on our plugin page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/, this isn’t truly /trunk though, this is a manual copy of our main repo we upload/update periodically, semi frequently.
FYI: The *.php = svn:eol-style=native SVN is our “Version Control Software” and this stuff sets us sets of rules for different file types or ignoring certain files and folders.
Well using a replies templates as comments to blog posts is a feature for bbPress 2.7 I believe but if that feature is really key you should either [1] code it yourself or [2] look elsewhere cause waiting for 2.7 won’t be worth your time. The bbPress 2.7 release is at least one year away based on the current average development of bbPress.
From the other point of view, bbPress is the most easy to use forum software when it comes to making changes or altering the frontend layout when you have some WordPress experience.
I mean, I customizing the frontend of a ‘forum’ is what rocks my boat I never understand why people would use one of those most populair forum scripts out there and in the end have a forum that looks like a FORUM and completely different from the rest of the site layout. I always like it when everything, site, shop, forum and whatnot looks and feels the same as the general site.. I never create forums for mega large websites or sites that are driven by communities from the early days when you simply had to install a forum script to create a so called community. There are far better systems out there that just do that. Create communities and interaction with users – you don’t need a forum for that. Forums nowadays are generally for support only.
Your MacRumors example is a site that was created 300 years ago based on a forum system to interact with users. Now they are bloated have to hide mega lots of content to fit your mobile screen else the site would load 12min a page.
Myself I was making a bbPress forum today with a subject called ‘Apple support’. Just for fun not a real project. It’s just fun how easily you can alter bbPress templates and create something frontend that you didn’t know was a forum script.
This example is my Forums index page.

@robkk , thanks for everything. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to read my ideas and such. The BuddyPress and WordPress community does not seem to notice my suggestions.
Your summary is right. However, when I say “topic auto-suggestion”, I am referring to the “bbPress Live Topic Suggestions” plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-auto-suggest-topics-based-on-new-topic-title/).
1. As for the oEmbed cache code that I use, the code is below. This is not a real fix/solution since I remove/disable auto-embedding and three shortcodes. Basically, I am making it impossible for oEmbed cache to form.
remove_filter('the_content',array($GLOBALS['wp_embed'],'autoembed'),8);
remove_shortcode('audio');
remove_shortcode('video');
remove_shortcode('playlist');
By the way, the BBPress developers may want to consider designing the “bbp-topic-description” to look similar to the code below. I use that format on my website; the code snippet below was taken from http://dcjtech.info/topic/directx-introduction/ . The below code uses Microdata (like Hentry/Hatom and others) and is used by many search engines.
<p class="bbp-topic-description">This topic was published by <em><span class="p-author h-card fn author post-author" itemprop="author">DevynCJohnson</span></em> and viewed 201 times since "<time itemprop="datePublished" class="dt-published published entry-date uploaded" datetime="2015-07-28">July 28, 2015 @ 06:00UTC</time>".</p>
The BBPress developers are more than welcome to ask me for code or ask how I created/added some particular feature.
alright glad you solved your own issue 🙂
you were using this plugin right??
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/
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.
Download
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' );
@devyncjohnson
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”).

The BBCodes are (or try to be) HTML5-compliant.
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,

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?
