Ok thanks. Does the bbpress plugin use custom taxonomies for topic tags? Because if it just used good old tags (read old school taxonomy), wouldn’t my problem be solved?
Maybe a feature request/idea for future releases of bbpress.
It’s easy to combine post types and taxonomies, but it’s difficult to come up with a UI that makes sense for both. Search the WordPress codex on how to combine post types and taxonomies. There are a few good examples out there.
Those topics were created via the WordPress dashboard. The post status is hard coded into the meta box, and password protected content is only loosely supported in bbPress 2.0. Someone is currently making a plugin that blocks admin posting which will prevent this in the future.
Akismet is tweaking the heuristics for bbPress 2.0, and will continue to do so as an ongoing thing. Traditionally WordPress posts are never scanned for spam, and bbPress is using the comment API to do it, in combination with some new information by way typically of being logged in.
bbPress 1.0 has always been a little prone to false positives. Once bbPress 2 officially launches we’ll start a topic here on how to report problems.
When pressing a forum tag I would love to show regular WordPress posts that contain this tag as well. Any thoughts on an easy way to do this?
But bbPress.org.es why don’t you help with the official translation on glotpress?
You can find the Spanish one here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/es/default

Is there any way round this problem. Because more of my good old users gets their replies marked as spam. This happens even though their comments doesn’t contain links.
Is kismet more tricker happy in bbpress, than WordPress? Because I haven’t experienced these problem to the same extend with the wp install, that I’ve had for about 6 years now.
I just installed a BBpress forum using the plugin on my new wordpress site a few days ago and today I see two strange posts claiming to be password protected????
One was clearly spam and the other weird so I deleted both users and all their posts. When I did a test post with my own test user this did not happen.

Any thoughts on this?
When editing a forum topic from the WordPress backend it is updated with a new timestamp (as if it was just published).
This is annoying when trying to make a bunch of SEO stuff (in this case with Yoasts SEO plugin) with existing post titles and excerpts. Are there any reason why this happens, and is there an easy way to disable it?
#1 are you running the old 1x vs. of bbpress or the new plugin?
(I would suggest the plugin for sure as it’s the most updated)
#2 if you are not then here is the page to find the download to the plugin
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
*on the bottom of the page is the download link. Keep in mind that this is the most recent vs. and it changes almost daily until everything is finalized.
You simply click that link, save the file to your computer, and then go to your wp installation. In there you will use ftp to go into your wp-content/plugins/ folder.
#3 From there create a folder called bbpress inside the plugins directory.
#4 Upload the plugin you downloaded to your plugins folder
(browse the bbpress download and go into the folders until you see bbp-admin, bbp-includes, etc folders. You upload those into the bbpress folder that you created in your plugins folder)
Structure should look like
wp-content
–plugins
—-bbpress
bbp-admin
bbp-includes
etc….
#5 From there simply activate the plugin.
There are other steps needed to get the forums working properly in wp and your theme, but the above instructions will at least get you going.
So, I decided to work fairly hard and invest a lot of resources into creating a gaming website. I have been pretty impressed with indie games lately, and decided to start a nice area where I can highlight some of the better ones and maybe talk to developers and post things like great soundtracks and art.
*Ahem* Apparently things have changed a little since I learned HTML in…1998 lol That being said I feel pretty stupid and have some very basic questions to ask. If these answers are somewhere on the bbPress site I apologize, I did some cursory perusing of the forums and didn’t find what I needed and because I’m on a bit of a time crunch decided a post would be quicker.
From what the internet tells me WordPress is a nice content managing/blogging platform and bbPress is the way to go if I want a forum. I have downloaded and activated both the bbPress and bbPress Integration plug ins through my WordPress.
My question is…where is it? Do I have to FTP any files onto the server? Is there a link somewhere I’m missing? Any (very patient) help would be appreciated. Thank you 
There are WordPress plugins to block users of certain roles from viewing your admin area.
Just curious if this is also possible by making my own templates tags.
This way i could make different loops (forums) for each section of the forum.
loop-single-forum-4.php
loop-single-forum-troubles.php
Will this only take-/run forum ID 4 or the troubles forum-/topics loop ?
Same as WordPress ?
single-4.php
single-troubles.php
I found a problem,
I have a WP Multisite installation and when i log-in and log-out the redirect ends up on a 404 page. (only on WP multi sites)
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/example.nl/members/?loggedout=true
I’m just testing offline at the moment.
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/ <– WordPress homepage
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/ <– 2nd WordPress site (WPMU) with bbPress forum.
This is what i did and worked for me.
I do have a WP Multi-site installation but i don’t think it’s different on a normal WP install.
*My root
wp-content > themes > <first theme> <second theme> <twenty ten> <twenty eleven>
First theme is the theme i was using on my WordPress website.
After that i created an empty folder called second theme
I copy-/pasted all files from the bbPress plugin folder into the empty second theme folder i just created.
From:
*plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twetyten > All files and folders from here (without the bolded bbp-twentyten folder)
Now if you go into your style.css in the second theme folder you see that this one is empty and it says it will call the css > bbpress.css from the functions.php file. <– now also inside that second theme folder.
But at the top of this style.css file you see some theme info it just looks like some regular junk-talk (theme info) but it really isn’t junk-talk but very important, at the last line of code it says template name: (twenty ten) (if i remember correct) If you change that to (first theme) in my case and save it you’re done.
Now it will load first theme as a main theme and second theme as your child theme (with your bbPress files inside)
It’s very cool because if you add a new page from your admin you can also pick different bbPress page templates.
Example, you can create a new page and add from the template drop down menu (right-side sidebar) the login bbPress page template and you will get a login-page.
This is all i did and it worked out for me, the add theme support function i never added because it’s also inside the functions.php file in your second theme folder.
Hope this will help somebody here.
Hello, i’m french boy
I have installed plugin Forum bbpress in my WordPress website
and i have created more than 50 Forums, 79 forums
but i see in my page forum 50 forums ?
how i can do for to see more than 50 forums ?
Thanks
Thank you…
So it’s a hook for WordPress and other plugins to work into this bbPress form..
Also, add_action and do_action are in wp-includes/plugin.php.
Adding an action is add_action(‘bbp_template_notices’, ‘funciton_name’);
I used this bbp_template_notices action hook to print my post toolbar in earlier versions of the plugin. This is because I noticed that the do_action(‘bbp_template_notices’); was (in bbp-twentyten) near the post form, so each time the post form is displayed, the template notices action is run and the post toolbar is displayed.
I found something..
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
Only trying to find where those functions are.. they aren’t in my functions.php
??
So they call a function by the plugin DO_ACTION PHP code but i can’t find the template that lists all those actions-/functions.
Just wondering
If i want to add bbPress to my own theme, this topic tells me to add the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to my functions.php <– the functions of my own WordPress theme.
Because if you copy-/paste the files from the bbPress plugins folder to my wp-content > themes > theme folder it also has a functions.php file.
What about two functions.php ?
Hello there,
I think my question will be very easy for most people here but I am really having a hard time to make it work. I read your post about theme compatibility many times but I am still missing something.
I installed the bbpress 2.0 rc plugin in my wordpress 3.2.1 and I also looked over the internet for a bbpress theme (not sure if it is compatible with bbpress 2.0 though). What I did was:
First Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied all the files from bbp-twentyten into the custom theme folder
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
Second Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied the folder bbp-twentyten from “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” into the wp-content/themes. My custom theme was also the wp-content/themes
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
In both case I added the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
Can you please give some me some help cause I feel very stupid.

bbpress: 2.0-rc-5
wordpress: 3.2.1
theme: woothemes canvas 4.4.0
I think I have not understood how to add bbpress to my site correctly.
Thusfar:
1. Installed bbpress plugin and in forum settings, set Archives Slug > Forums base to “community”.
2. Created a page with slug “community” and added [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.
3. Using widget logic plugin, added some sidebar widgets to display on this page.
4. Visited /community page. My sidebars are not showing and looking at source code reveals page is using a forum archive template and not a page template.
5. Changed page slug to something other than “community”. The page then displays the sidebars I have set. However, the breadcrumb navigation still links back to the /community forum archive page without my sidebars.
How can I set things up so that the forum index appear on the page where I placed the shortcode and not on a different forum archive template page, and also have the breadcrumb navigation work correctly?
Thanks to anyone for any suggestions.
Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.
On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!
