Hi all,
Running WordPress version 3.5.1 and bbPress version 2.2.4 My them is Everest by Elegant Themes.
All works well with the whole site, and wanted to add Forum functionality with bbPress. The CSS doesn’t appear to be showing at all for the forum. It really is horribly dull and small fonts.
Although this is on a staging / testing server, you will see what I mean:

Can someone help please? I have copied the original bbPress css file into the /themes/everest/css/ folder but still get the same issue.
Thnks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I need to change some texts on my forum. Examples of the texts i need to change are listed below.
Topic
Freshness
Voices
Post
Create New Topic
Topic Title
There are a few more but I would run out of space trying to list all of them. (LOL)
Now to my question, How can i change these texts without using a plugin preferably.
I have tried the – BB Press String Swap Plugin – but i am not keen on it as it does not offer the opportunity to change all the texts i would like to change and also because i feel it slows my site down.
Has anyone got any other suggestions to help me out. If there is no plugin out there that can do all the text changes i need to do, is there a tutorial out there to which i can refer? If it is possible to achieve this by editing files would it have to be in a child theme (Risk of losing after update)
Finally, if all fails, is there any expert out there who can make these changes for me for a fee?
Thanks in Advance
OK. I just found the answer to my own question.
I mistakenly installed BB PRESS as stand-alone app. I didn’t realize that it could also just be installed as a plug-in to WordPress – didn’t see that anywhere in the documentation.
Just tested it and it looks great, it not only wraps in the header and footer but also the side-bar. As with any WP page, you can just select a button to undo this.
To anyone in the same boat as I am. Go to WordPress:Plugins and install BB Press from there. Then, all new forums, topics, ect. will be created from the WP Admin panel.
Ciao,

Recently i have started bbpress forum for my blog But i want to know how i can enable custom bbpress avatars for user profiles. Thanks in advance.
My dev site is http://fishwire.rudtek.com. I’m running wordpress 3.5 and have buddypress 1.7 b2 and bbpress 2.3-rc1.
New users can’t seem to signup to the forums. The site lets them register, and sends them the activation email. When it’s clicked it says they are activated, but they can’t login.
The users are being created on the back end but they are not being assigned a default forum role. I have the box checked that says that it should be doing so, but it’s not working.
I have tried with all plugins but bbpress and buddypress disabled and I have tried with and without the default buddypress theme.
Any suggestions? THANKS!
Try running the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair
Are you using any other plugins to manage WordPress/bbPress users?
Theme is officially published in WordPress.Org: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/firmasite
Enjoy 🙂
Maybe I wasn’t clear.
I have WordPress already successfully installed, now I have installed BBpress. I’m looking for documentation for wrapping BBPress in my WordPress headers so the experience is continuous.
Thanks,

I’m wanting to edit the css of bbPress to tweak the appearance of my forums, specifically the font size. I’m running WordPress 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and using a twentytwelve-child theme. My forums are at
I found the “bbPress Custom CSS File” plug-in but according to the description I do not need it.
** This plugin is for bbPress 2.1.x. If you are using bbPress 2.0.x please upgrade. If you are using bbPress 2.2, read below.**
bbPress 2.2+: As of bbPress 2.2 this plugin is NOT needed. bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file if it exists in the right location.
Copy the CSS file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-default/css/bbpress.css to wp-content/themes/[yourtheme]/bbpress.css.
Following the instructions above I have copied the bbpress.css file from the bbpress plugin’s css folder to “wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/bbpress.css”. When I go into the WordPress dashboard under appearance-edit the bbpress.css is available for editing.
So assuming I have the bbpress.css file in the right place (if I don’t please instruct me where I need to put it for editing), which line of code in the bbpress.css file do I need to edit to change the font size on my forums.
Any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can you point me to a guide or post that lists the CSS work?
I’m really surprised there isn’t a better template integration between wordpress and bbpress!
Thanks,
L
that takes alot of css, best you install wordpress and feature your forum on all categories
like here
bbPress is made to integrate with wordpress smoothly, the default template for bbpress forums is your themes own, for every page,category etc. If you change the default layout for your theme, then the template for bbpress would change
and what is the link to your site?
I’ve been searching through the plug-ins and maybe not using the right words to look for this in the forums – surely I’m not the first to ask THIS!
I just installed bb press and I want to put a wrapper on it so it looks like my wordpress website. Google searches got me into trouble with mods that broke the forums.
Can you point me to a discussion, documentation or reliable website that tells me how to do this?
Thanks,
L
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/
Only private replays to public topics. (can be seen by topic creator, moderators and user who post it)
Im also looking for private messaging plugin for bbpress.
Or private topics – same as private replays, but for whole topic.
bbPress 2.02
WordPress 3.3.2
Hello,
I’ve looked and looked, there doesn’t seem to be a way to see all the posts from a specified user. All you can see are the topics that he/she created or has subscribed to, but not the replies. In the backend, you can’t order the replies or subjects by user either.
Does anyone know of a way it can be done or of an add-on that can solve this?
Thanks.
If non-registered users are clicking on private topics via widgets, you may be seeing this bug: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2279
I have a 404 problem with pagination on topics archive pages, for both admins and non-admins. The first page display correctly, but get a 404 errors on subsequent pages:
`
/topics/page/2
/topics/page/3
`
I am using a custom `archive-topic.php` on my theme and using the following plugins on WordPress 3.5.1:
bbPress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7-beta2
User Switching 0.7.1
WordPress Post Type Archive Links 1.1
WordPress SEO 1.4.4
I have disabled all plugins and switched the theme to TwentyTen with flushing rewrite rules on every steps with no success. I have also changed the permalink structure to default `?post_type=topic&paged=2` and still not working.
On my attempt to debug `$wp_query`, at the `pre_get_posts` action hook, everything looks OK:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] => 1
…
[is_404] =>
`
However at `template_redirect` action, query looks like:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] =>
…
[is_404] => 1
`
I only tried that with topics pagination, not forums or replies.
Thanks.
i have a page called /forum that has the shortcode to display the forum index. When I click on a item it will go to that post. In the breadcrumb there will be home->forums->post, clicking on /forums takes me not to /forum where my shortcode is located but to the hard coded thingy that is defined in the plugin setup? So I have to mess around with trying to make templates just to get it working with my theme, when it just seems that if you make use of shortcodes for the operation of the forum, it would be compatible with ALL themes more or less. Is that a correct assumption?
As it stands now, I don’t think I will be able to use this plugin because I do not have the time to workout all the different things just to make it work with my theme. I really should not be complaining for something that is free to the community and it is not to diminish the great work of the developers, this is not my intent. After fiddling for days trying to get this to work correctly, I just came to the conclusion that maybe it would be better if shortcodes where used exclusively for the functionality of the operations, then all of these sorts of problems should become non existing.
if I could have a page called /forums that would override the /forums settings defined in the plugin then that would work, but how can you tell wordpress to do this? I looked and tried different things, but it all becomes way more work then it seems it should be when a shortcode would do the trick. Any way, I am curious to know how other people are getting bbPress to work properly with their themes. I am open to suggestions, ideas and thoughts.
Oh, one thing I did was to setup a redirect from /forums to /forum (forum index shortcode) and that seems to be working so far. Not sure yet what side effects maybe lurking as a result. So far so good. But when I sit back and think about it, what keeps coming to mind is… why? Why should I even have to do something like this??
Thanks

If you create a forum, then move it to trash, delete it permanently, and finally create a new board with the same name, it always gives it an integer
No, I cannot reproduce this.
Also, I have noticed another glitch. If I were to rename the permalink to /leaflet/ and then I change my mind and rename it to something like /leaflet-forum/ and then I finally decide to go back to the original permalink, it adds an integer even though there is no other board with that name and I have just been fiddling with the same forum this entire time.
Again, I cannot reproduce this.
I even deactivated bbPress, removed it from WordPress, deleted the bbPress plugin folder with FileZilla, uploaded the newest bbPress, and all of my forums are still there somehow giving the same error. So, there is something keeping track of forums (even when you go to those lengths) and it doesn’t realize that particular forum has been deleted.
Even if you delete bbPress as you have ‘the data remains in the database’ and this is by design, if you want data deleted you must use bbPress (or a myPhpAdmin etc) to explicitly delete the data.
First thing go to your permalinks settings page and change your permalink settings, click save, then change them back to your original setting and save again. This should flush any of the rewrites going on with WordPress.
If it still doesn’t work try switching themes to Twenty Eleven’ and try again.
Nope. There was a forum named “leaflet” a while back, but I have since permanently deleted that board. And I have repeated this particular error several times. If you create a forum, then move it to trash, delete it permanently, and finally create a new board with the same name, it always gives it an integer, as if the previous board still exists. I even deactivated bbPress, removed it from WordPress, deleted the bbPress plugin folder with FileZilla, uploaded the newest bbPress, and all of my forums are still there somehow giving the same error. So, there is something keeping track of forums (even when you go to those lengths) and it doesn’t realize that particular forum has been deleted. Also, I have noticed another glitch. If I were to rename the permalink to `/leaflet/` and then I change my mind and rename it to something like `/leaflet-forum/` and then I finally decide to go back to the original permalink, it adds an integer even though there is no other board with that name and I have just been fiddling with the same forum this entire time. Very frustrating.
Is this an install on WordPress Multisite?
