Hello to everybody,
I am currently working on a BBPRESS installation. I have 2 diferent parts on my website : a Blog AND a Forum.
I have a parent page for all my forums called “Forums” So, in my main nav, I have 2 items : “Blog” and “Forums”.
When I click on “Forums” in the nav, I go to the parent page of all my forums. In the nav, the item “Forums” gets the following classes in the HTML :
.menu-item menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .current-menu-item .page_item .page-item-20 .current_page_item menu-item-22
Now, when I click on one of my forums, “forum 1” for exemple, my item “Forums” in the nav gets the folowing classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-22
and the item “blog” get the classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-23 .current_page_parent
I mean that “forum 1” should be a child page of “Forums” ?
Instead, it seems to be a child element of the blog. Does anybody know how to fix this ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, work locally with Mamp, using Twenty15 as a theme.
If somebody have a solution, it would be great, thanks for your attention.

Hello Oyeben6, i have the same issue than you. Have you find any solution to solve this problem ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and BBpress, Twenty Fifteen as a principal theme, no other plugin working, reinstalled everything 2 times, changed the permalinks but work locally.
Thanks for your kind answer and have a nice day
Guillaume
Ajax comments might affect this , I think , I had a theme awhile ago that would mess with reply threading if I had Ajax comments enabled. If you have ajax comments then disable that and see if it works.
Other than that , you can allow me to test how your reply threading is doing. You can create me an account for your site with subscriber/participant capabilities and send the login information to my email.

If you want to develop it manually you can use any of these conditional tags for bbPress and WordPress.
bbPress Conditional Tags
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
or you can use a plugin like
- Restrict Widgets
- Widget Logic
That guide was for earlier version of bbPress ,it might be archived later for a new guide to take its place.
The following is written for version 2.2 of the bbPress WordPress plugin. Information in this tutorial may not be applicable to earlier or subsequent versions of the plugin.
See if the creating a theme section would help you.
Right now there is really just some placeholder links and text that I just wrote up real quick , so this guide might be improved in some later days.
It should help you create a child theme, understand what is usually in a theme. and how to customize it to your needs.
Customizing
Hi Everyone,
I am just newbie on this forum bbPress and i guess something is not right with this part:
Step 6: Copy the Default bbPress Theme to Your Child Theme Folder
The default files are no longer stored in wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes. There is a folder called default at bbpress > templates > default, but which files need copying I do not know.
While still in FTP and looking at the root folder of your WordPress installation, go to bbPress’ theme folder. That is, go to wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten. Download all the files from this folder except style.css. These are the files that will style your bbPress theme.
Now return to your child theme folder (wp-content > themes > yourthemefolder-child). Upload the default bbPress theme files to the child theme folder. You can change the image you see for your child theme in the admin area by uploading a new screenshot.png image to this folder.
I did not saw wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten the plugin directory so maybe it was mess i guess. What i saw is this wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default.
Any helps should highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do the default bbPress notifications work when you subscribe to a topic or forum??
Test this without the wp-smtp plugin to test just bbPress.
You may need to use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ , but test the default bbPress subscriptions without wp-smtp and this plugin first.
ACCORDING TO THEMEBUILDER YOUR PLUGIN DOES NOT ALLOW DESCRIPTIONS
The forum description should show at the top of the forum to introduce the topic, between the title and the blue bar. Without it, it’s like walking into a room wanting to have a conversation and no one is there. Please fix this very basic common sense request. It’s simple, allow the dashboard text editor content to show up at the top of the page. Why wouldn’t you include it? Makes no sense. You want people to interact on a title alone.
FROM THE THEMEBUILDER
I have researched this in the BBPress support forums, and the description on the single forum page is not an option in BBPress.
You can even try changing to another theme and you will see that the description on the forum page will not display, it is not a theme issue, rather a BBPress issue.
Who ever told you otherwise was misleading you. Sure it can be done with customization, however it is not how BBPress operates out of the box.
In my research I came across this plugin, it will allow you to do what your after: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

My forum is set to Public, but you cannot see any posts unless you are logged in.
Is there a way to change the visibility to allow visitors who are not logged in to see topic posts?
I’m also using the Ultimate Member plugin, in case that matters.

trying to get the feature image funtionality on front end so user can have the option to upload image about the Topic
This sounds like custom development , you might need a developer to do this type of thing.
get the feature image on Widget “Forum list” Default widget of BbPress plugin
You would need to create a new “Forums list” widget mostly based off the original bbPress default widget.
Then use get_the_post_thumbnail to render your featured images

Hi People!
Please, some help to solve this:
1. I would like to have the code to center text, images, and things in the editor of bbpress. Any idea? (If i write <center></center> in the editor the text after the code change their size :/ ).
2. Simple, how can i add a double space to text in the editor? (if i tap a double enter, it should show a double space)
Wordpress 4.2.2
Bbpress 2.5.7
Thank You!
I have both bbPress and BuddyPress installed on my WordPress site. When someone posts a topic in bbPress, it automatically displays in the BuddyPress activity stream. If another user replies to the post inside the BuddyPress Activity Stream, the reply only shows up in BuddyPress, not also in the bbPress forum where the issue was originally posted. Am I missing a setting that would cause the reply to show up in the forum post as well?
I realize the bbpress sidebar only displays properly when I add widgets to the default wordpress sidebar; however, I only want sidebar displays in the forum page.

Just installed bbPress again after it didn’t work and really want to get it going since it’s about the best forum plugin available for WordPress. The issue is that trying to edit a post will take you to a page like this.
Is there any advice on how to fix the ability to edit a post. I tried under an admin account as well and got the same issue.
try the wp “is_user_logged_in” function
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
} else {
echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
}
?>
or
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<p>Welcome logged in user<p>
<?php endif; ?>

try this and see if it helps.
it sends subscriptions using wp-cron instead of bcc
https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/
See if this helps you. Same basic idea for profile fields. When you add a profile field it will show up in the edit profile section.
There is a checkbox in the edit profile section template that you can use as an example.
