One way to achieve this sort of thing would be using the ‘Display Posts Shortcode’ plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
Once installed you can add a shortcode to a post or page to display a list of all topics and replies:
[display-posts post_type=”topic,reply”]
and there’s lots of different settings you can customise, see documentation here:
https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/wiki
You may just need to customise the look of it to be more like a normal ‘activity’ page as normally this will just give a plain text list of your posts, so it depends on your needs.
Hope that helps 🙂
eta: You would still have to click on the posts in the list and go to their own page to add a reply. I’m not sure if that’s something you are trying to avoid when you say “batch process my replying right there. no clicking to forums” I’m presuming you just mean no clicking to see the posts, not for replying.
I’d love there to be somewhere to turn comments into replies, but it ain’t in settings > discussion.
I’ve googled lots of “import/convert wordpress comments to bbpress topics/replies” and got nowhere. The stumbling block being that WP comments are in wp_comments and bbpress replies are in wp_posts.
Anyone got a good solution for this?
Shmoo, thank you for help!
Please tell me whether to allow the plugin User Role Editor (for WordPress) to prescribe the role solely for integrated in WordPress Forum bbPress? (To these roles do not apply to the entire website to WordPress).
Hi,
in the website of one of my customers, bbpress works perfectly if the user is not logged in but, when I am logged as wordpress admin, the pages of the bbpress forum are not visibile and show a 500 error. The error-log file shows this error:
WordPress errore sul database Lost connection to MySQL server during query per la query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%Ansia%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%Ansia%’)) AND ((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%intermittente%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%intermittente%’))) AND (wp_posts.post_password = ”) AND (
( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’ AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) != ’43’ )
) AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 15 fatta da require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/supportdesk/search-topics.php’), bbp_has_search_results, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
how can I fix it?
thanks
Hello all, i’m new user of bbpress plugin. So after installation and set up configuration of plugin, i get a error ERREUR: ĂŠtes-vous sĂ»r de vouloir faire ça ? in english it’s : ERROR : Are you sure to do that ? when i want to post Topics or Replies since my front-end whatever the user. But in my back-end it’s alright i can create topics, replies.
Please can you help me ?
I use :
Wordpress version: 4.2.2
bbPress version: 2.5.7
akismet version: 3.1.1
WordPress 4.2.2 running Make theme. bbPress Version 2.5.7
The site is in countdown mode, so there’s nothing to see there. But I created a forums page using the permalink method and it works well, except I can’t seem to get rid of the useless and annoying empty author mark. Can anyone help?
file:///Users/caseydixon/Desktop/Forums%20page%20empty%20author%20mark.png
WordPress 4.2.2 Avada v3.7.4 bbpress Version 2.5.7

I would like the hover colour for all the text links to be in red.
I have added the following to the custom CSS box:
a:hover{color:red; !important;}
This does not work in my sidebar.
It works for the bbpress login widget, but not for Forum List, Recent Topics or Recent Replies widgets.
Please can you tell me what CSS code to use.
to save someone scrolling through, this is the solution posted by @themusiciangirl1 – thanks Maya !
Guys, I DID IT! After spending the better part of a day sweating over this problem, I finally fixed it. The solution is so simple, I have no idea why it took me so freaking long to think of it!
1. Download and install the “page links to” plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/
2. Go to Dashboard –> All pages –> and then click edit on your default forum page (usually http://www.yoursite.com/forums)
3. Once you’re on the editing page, scroll down to where your new plugin has two, magic little options for you. The first one, “this is a normal wordpress page,” is probably checked. Instead, check the one right below it, the one that says “custom url” or something like that. Enter the url for the page that you WANT your default forums page to be. Click publish.
TA-DA! Now, when you click on “forums” in your breadcrumbs trail, instead of taking you to that default index page, it’ll take you to the special one that you made using the index shortcode.
It is currently on PHPbb 3.1.3.
Known issue that is being worked on.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716
if you want you can also just patch the current phpbb importer using the most recent file @netweb posted.
I doubt someone will make a plugin like this in the near future because it’s listed as a native bbPress feature for 2.7. ( next year at bbPres dev pace )
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.7
If you’re feeling comfy editing the bbPress template files you could make something like this in a very basic setup.
1) You’d need to add a few different user_roles to WordPress and give each moderator it’s own user_role
2) Next you’d have to work with conditional PHP tags. For example: PHP -> If [ user_role = xxx AND topic is in forum ID ZZZ ] then –> show the moderation links. IF the above rule is not true –> don’t show them at all and return nothing.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
This isn’t very difficult if you have beginner PHP knowledge or let’s say you’re not afraid to touch the template files on a development install. Never do this on a Live site if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Hi, guys,
Yes, I know this topic has been somewhat discussed in a few other threads and I’ve read through them all, but I’m still not really clear on what the pros/cons are for installing this plugin in one’s existing domain/website vs. in a sub-domain. One comment that made an impression on me was one person’s claim that over time it would be hard to keep the bbpress databases optimized if you install in your main domain since bbpress shares databases with wordpress. This, according to the person, would slow down the site.
Can anyone with experience or wisdom give me a definitive statement of the pros and cons of installing in one’s main site domain vs. a sub-domain so that I can stop this endless search for answers and just install this thing? 🙂 THANKS!!

The setup current user error is a bug in WordPress.

The groups issue is known bug and the trac ticket for it is here.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782
OH my god, why the plugin author don’t fix this issue.
But most of all need to say thank you again.
It is an issue with two different plugins, bbPress and BuddyPress.
the fix seems to be slated for bbPress 2.6
The Groups error might be a known issue too.
I think that is this ticket

Hello.
I’d like to solve problem.
Would anyone answer to my problem?
Firstly, the conditions of WordPress, bbPress, design theme, plugin, and function.php are below.
Wordpresss: Latest version
bbPress: Latest version
design theme: Original building
plugin: introduced “bbPress – Sort topic replies”.
The settings of this plugin are “Global:Descending”, “No Parent:Default”, and “Always show lead Topic:Yes”.
function.php: Below code exists.
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');
function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = 'true';
return $show_lead;
}
Then, here is main topic.
The function of bbPress itself is that after the user replies to the parent topic in topic page, next screen shows the last page(the page of max number) if the pagination shows.
With the setting of “bbPress – Sort topic replies” plugin is under “Global:Descending”, the redirection which I expect is to go to the first page.
I think that this solution isn’t https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-replies-redirect-to-last-page/
I’ve searched and tried to solve the problem, however I can’t find the solution.
I wonder my current settings or ways might be wrong.
Thanks.

Adding menu links like that is quite difficult unless you manually create the menu in HTML and just not worry about the WordPress menu configuration.
I suggest maybe creating a copy of the login widget and add whatever links you want for the suer to the bbPress login Widget.
This explains it quite briefly.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
If you need help or an example plugin to create this please reply back.

Guys this is an old topic
The theme was probably for bbPress v1 so not for the bbPress 2 plugin
the guy doesn’t even use WordPress, that is just a static site hosted on I think Github
add this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
dashboard>plugins>add new and search for bbp-style-pack
when loaded and activated
Dashboard>settings>forum display
and select no. 4
ok, just because there are the same symptoms, doesn’t mean that the solution is the same !
have you installed

I’ve been working hard at setting up a site for my podcast and things had been going swimmingly, but while looking around at some RSS feed import widgets and such today, somehow I seem to no longer have working BBpress forums. It doesn’t seem like it would be related, but who knows?
The forums still show in my dashboard, and I was able to create a forum page by hand and get it to show the index with shortcode, but when I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a page not found error. It seems to do so even if I swap to one of the bundled 201x themes.
The RSS widget I was testing out is RSS Multi Import 3.15 and I’m running WordPress 4.2.2 with the Generate Press theme 1.2.9.8 and BBpress 2.5.7. Website is http://www.whitebookpodcast.com.
I’m a quite a newb to delving in to WordPress stuff, so I have to admit that I’m at a loss. Any thoughts on possibilities?
Hi, I’m new to WordPress and a new member of a collective blog who is trying to troubleshoot the same issue described here. Being new to WP, I’ll need a little bit of handholding.
We’re using a Genesis/Lifestyle Pro theme for our site. This was all set up before I was asked to join the blog.
I’m trying to follow the instructions that Auriel followed, but I can’t figure out how to add an “archive”(.php) page to my template. I also can’t figure out how or where I should make a copy of my page.php file (which I can find) to start mucking around with that.
Thanks!
Michelle
