What kind of features are you looking for? BuddyPress can handle most of the social network aspects that vBull does.
Since you said layout are you looking for something similar to this??
Not really a bbPress issue, but you can follow this if there is not a register link by default.

Hi, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress
I’ve just installed bbPress and BuddyPress for the first time.
I was mucking about, looking around to work out how things work.
I thought I’d log out of Admin and try and see if I could see what it would be like to register as a new user. But there is no “register” link showing up anywhere?
Below is a screen capture of part of the screen of what I see, no register, just log in.
Any help appreciated.
Hi all. I have a WordPress site with a fresh install of bbpress on it for my forums. That said, the default bbpress theme for my site looks absolutely awful, so I was wondering how to install another theme or even just change the colors just for my forums. This is what it’s looking like at the moment.
I recently discovered this theme here that looks alright. Is there some way I could import that onto my site for JUST the forums? Let me know, thank you!
Hi
This is an interesting thread.
I have a large vBulletin 5.1.7 forum and after reading this topic I am thinking about migrating to bbPress.
I have powerful dedicated server solely for the forum, the forum has topics: 129,286 Posts: 3,055,650 Members: 51,108
Is there a script to import my forum into bbPress?
Can the WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache be used with bbPress to boost perform dance?
Many thanks for your help.
Hi there, I am having a slightly strange issue in that I have just installed:
Wordpress 4.2.4
BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Everything appears to be fine except for the little fact that I have no bbPress admin sections in the dashboard.
Any help would be most appreciated.
The database *must* be located on the same database server as your target WordPress installation, you can import from a remote database server.
Make sure you select “phpBB” from the dropdown at the top of the importer page.
@casiepa Thanks for creating a plugin to solve this problem for users. It is greatly appreciated. I have a few questions though.
How do I use it??
The setting are confusing me a little bit, and it doesn’t seem to show the subscriptions, but I do not really know where to manage them in the plugin. I just see a list of users with a button that says `[has role]’. I also do not think your plugin works for sub-forums/child forums of categories.
How does it work exactly??
I try to set it up, but I am still confused. Also there are a few errors while activating it with debug set to true in my wp-config.php file.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

This might be custom development since it is the reply/topic forms. You may need to hire a developer to create this kind of functionality for you.
If you basically using this as spam protection you can use this.

You can also just link to your terms and condtions in the reply form too.
For registration/login forms you can use this plugin.

You could possible hook the above plugin to work for reply/topic forms somehow though.

This kind of looks normal since when you edit the topic all you see is the Text editor which will show the html tags.
Visual vs Text Editor
Also did you copy and paste the content of the whole topic page as an test, or was it just like that??
Are you using this plugin??

I tried the theme and plugins with bbPress and I didn’t come across any issues.
I am kind of thinking it could be the index.php in your url causing the issue, but I am not really sure.

Since I am not 100% sure, you can try some troubleshooting to see if you can find the solution to your problem.
Troubleshooting
I got the id from the Reveal ID’s thank you for that. I am trying to get this to work on my website which currently is on a localhost so can’t send you to it. I have put the code in the functions and changed the number to 72 (my forum id), however, when I post it does not create a new topic in that forum. I have been poking around trying to get it to work and have found that some places say the publish_post is deprecated and others that say to ignore that it still works. I’m currently using wordpress version 4.2.4 and here is the code I put in my functions.
function gh_post_published_create_topic( $ID, $post ) {
$checkduplicate = get_post_meta( $ID, 'gh_topic_created',true);
if ( empty( $checkduplicate ) ) {
$author = $post->post_author;
$name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author );
$title = $post->post_title;
$permalink = get_permalink( $ID );
$excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
$subject = sprintf( '%s: %s', $name, $title );
$message = sprintf ('[b]%s[/b]' . "\n" . 'By %s' . "\n\n" . '[i]%s[/i]' . "\n\n" . 'View: %s' . "\n\n", $title, $name, $excerpt, $permalink );
$tags = wp_get_post_tags( $ID, array( 'fields' => 'names' ) );
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $subject,
'post_content' => $message,
'post_parent' => 72,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'topic'
);
$topic_meta = array(
'forum_id' => $new_post['post_parent']
);
$topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);
if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
add_post_meta($ID, 'gh_topic_created', 'true', true);
$term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $topic_id, $tags, 'topic-tag' );
bbp_update_forum(array('forum_id' => 72));
}
}
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_create_topic', 10, 2 );
Any help on why this wouldn’t work for me would me much appreciated.

Install a plugin like Reveal IDs, and when you go to Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend you will see all the forum IDs next to each forum.
There are other ways of getting a posts ID, but this is the easiest way.
Link to the plugin you are talking about. I am having a tough time finding the WordPress plugin.
In BBpress each user has the ability to edit their profile users/USER/edit/
Here they can add their name, their website link and their bio by default. However, this information is never actually displayed on their profile. Why is this?
The bio should show.
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/robkk/
As for most of the other fields, not sure really. I know though they are just going off of WordPress’s profile fields, and whatever is added to that though. I don’t know why the devs haven’t put at least website there. Maybe it is easy for spammers to take advantage of that?? First Name and Last Name could make good choices to display on the users profile too.
I will probably make a suggestion to the devs later to add more profile data to the user’s profile.
You can of course display the data in the profile by editing a template or installing a plugin.
Copy user-profile.php from the bbPress templates in the plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
Just surround the code with conditionals to only display the information when the user has inputted any information.
You have something like this for first name.
<?php if ( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'first_name' ) ) : ?>
<p class="bbp-user-fname"><?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'first_name' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
YOu can also use the plugin, to display the current fields and also custom fields.

Hello,
I’ve searched, really, and I didn’t find any solution before asking here.
So, first, here’s all versions used :
Wordpress : 4.2.4
BBPress : 2.5.8
Theme used : Cry Out Nirvana 1.0.6
A few other extensions are installed :
Active Directory Integration
Advanced Custom Fields
Advanced Custom Fields: Nav Menu Field
CKEditor for WordPress
Collapse-O-Matic
GD bbPress Attachments
List category posts
Members
Our Team
Post Types Order
TablePress
TablePress Extension: Row Details
Uber Login Logo
WP-Utilisateur-Avatar
I think there’s everything.
I can’t give a link to the website, at the moment it’s internal, in progress and next, it will be our new Intranet
So, here’s the issue I have.
My users make forum posts, seems to be OK.
When they try to modify a post, or if I try to modify it myself as admin, I don’t get the window to change the text but an article I made “sticky”, the article is not opened to be modified.
As an example
Link to the post : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/
Button Modify : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/edit/
Page I receive : mysite.fr/index.php/2015/08/10/edito/
Do you have any idea ?
Ask me any question (but the password)
You need a plugin to use quotes with bbPress. The best plugin with quotes is GD bbPress tools.

Hi when I debug I see this notice:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /homehdd/nameyourd/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560
how can I fix it? thank you!
I am on the latest version of WordPress, but a custom theme ( developer left it half way) so I am fixing it myself.
1) The forum page shows for post the correct numbers. Example
post tite: Voices(5), Posts (6)
but inside posts it says
This topic contains 5 replies, has 5 voices
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
Then it shows just the main topic, not the replies to it.
This is the code for the bbpress.php template
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="page-left" class="container">
<?php
the_content();
?>
</div>
<div id="page-right">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Seems fine to me, what do you think I missed?
Hi
I get this:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/easychem/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560
Also I found bbpress interapting my gallery library. When it’s activate I get blank screen in the gallery library, but’ when I switch it off, I can see all my gallery.
This is My site:
Using 2.5.8 version of bbp
and 4.2.4 of WordPress
I have anonymous posting disabled. The setup, as described in my first post (the bbPress setup tries to mirror the WordPress setup as closely as possible):
At the WordPress side, things work flawlessly spam-free with anonymous comments disabled, a custom question in the registration form (stops most spam bots), a mandatory e-mail confirmation for new subscribers, auto-moderation of the first comment (stops manual spammers) and Akismet (which doesn’t really have anything to do at the end). On the bbPress side, I’m only missing the moderation of a user’s first comment, which is letting through some spam.
Anyway, I don’t really want to turn this into a troubleshooting exercise for the bbPress Moderation plugin as that’ll just needlessly eat up your time. 🙂 I can give the plugin another go later if I decide to go down that route. But thanks again!
I could really only find posts that were talking about bbPress v1 standalone. I did find a post that was in 2012, which I think the bbPress plugin was around then. You can study the code and see if it would work.
The page is in another language though.

Okay, then it might not be a bug in bbPress then. I do not know why I didn’t get some emails from my server, some topic notifications did go into my spam folder though, but I did not get any forum notifications. I did subscribe to a forum on this site as a fallback for testing, and I did receive the forum notifications for new topics on this site though, so it seems to work fine.
I did not try the plugin yet because I want to check things in a certain order rather than adding another new plugin to my site and another layer of complications.
The functionality of that plugin I think is going to make it into core anyway. The way that bbPress does it right now with BCC, the emails could be caught up in a spam/junk folder.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2797?cversion=0&cnum_hist=2
So my next step should be to check with Bluehost support to see why these many different notifications from bbPress, Gravity Forms and Wordfence that are being generated are not being sent to any administrator emails. I’ll get back here when I find out more.
Okay, it makes sense to possibly be a server issue since you have issues with multiple notification emails from different plugins. WHen you get sorted with your issues with the other plugins, come back to tell me how bbPress is doing.
After I created a topic, all of the content is under a avatar not on the center of the page. How can I fix this problem?
