You need to see if it’s a plugin issue, switch back to a default theme.

The modification does not limit to just the shortcode inclusion of the topic but on the forum as well. I thought it would have isolated but the changes seem to follow even on the default forum view?
suspect this is theme related.
Try switching as a test to a default theme such as twentytwleve and see if this fixes – if so then theme issue.
Since this is a paid for theme, I’d then suggest you contact the theme support site form help at
http://help.themeva.com/
Never mind I just fixed it. In case anybody else experiences this problem, here is what I did:
(back up database first)
1) deactivate BBPress
2) install User Role Editor
3) Click the red Reset button which will reset all roles to WP defaults
4) Re-activate BBPress.
ok the template you are after is
wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
this will alter it wherever this template is used.
make a copy of this template and put it in a directory called bbpress in the root of your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then modify this file
to remove breadcrumbs take out line 14 which says
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
then move line 44 (will probably be line 43 if you’ve taken out then breadcrumb!) which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>
You may need to play with where to put it 9i haven’t tried it) , but after lines 21 & 22
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
looks a good start, if not just keep moving it til you get what you want.
If you only want it to look like this for the shortcode, then that is doable but a lot more complicated !
Hmm… not sure what’s going on here. Have you tested it on a default theme?
My avatars were not doing that the last I checked. I’m pretty sure they were auto-resizing smaller, and fitting in quite nice. But, I stopped using this bbPress theme before the last couple WordPress updates because it’s not responsive, and the default bbPress is. It’s possible something changed in the WordPress code to make it act different.
If you can make a child theme, you could try this to change the avatars’ size on the page where they’re squished with css:
bbp-topic-meta .avatar {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
offhand I can’t say.

You’ll need to download the translations manually per the details here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x
Save them into /wp-content/languages/plugins
With some luck these two direct links will get you the .mo and .po. Make sure you rename both files so they are named bbpress-fr_FR.mo and bbpress-fr_FR.po respectively.
The reason I asked for the language you are using is because if the language translation is 100% translated then bbPress translations are delived to you automatically by the same WordPress Core ‘Automatic Updates’ mechanism, sadly bbPress French translations are not at 100%. (Technically they are at 100% translated but there are 228 strings waiting to be approved.)
That doesn’t seem to be possible in 2012, which forces a sidebar if you want a search facility, and which consumes a lot of vertical space with the identity of the contributor, including a large avatar.
Good job we’re in 2014 then 🙂
If you switch on the search facility
dashboard>settings>forums and look for search allow forum wide search, you’ll get a search bar at the top of the forums page
for the avatar size use the following code in your functions file
function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) {
$author_avatar = '';
if ($size == 14) {
$size = 24;
}
if ($size == 80) {
$size = 110;
}
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
if ( !bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id ) ) {
$author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ), $size );
} else {
$author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
}
}
return $author_avatar;
}
/* Add priority (default=10) and number of arguments */
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_current_user_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
The example increase the size, just change to to what you want
see https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/ for how to do that
you can also remove things like keymaster – just come back with what you want – and we’ll try to help you
These issues will occur with different combinations of plugins, and it is nobody’s fault.
and it will never be eliminated.
Wordpress is free open source software. It allows others to hook into it using Filters and actions, as well as using templates and functions. Additionally theme developers can affect the way wordpress functions. This lets lots of other people change how wordpress works and add both functionality and looks.
So if two developers both hook into the same bit of code, the actions of one can alter or even cancel out the other’s code.
With many thousands of plugins it is simply impossible for developers to test to see if their plugin works with every other plugin out there.
bbPress is thoroughly tested with the latest version of WordPress, in combination with all of the wordpress default themes (twentyten, twentyeleven etc.) to ensure it functions. Most bbpress plugin developers will also test against this combination to give a good degree of conformance.
This is the best that you can get.
It is no more the fault of bbpress that it doesn’t work with plugin A, than it is the fault of plugin A that it doesn’t work with bbpress!
Sorry but that is life 🙂
Open source means you get lots of great FREE software but you don’t get an integration guarantee – it’s pretty damn good, but sorry not perfect.
And It’s nobody’s fault !
ok, nit sure exactly what was happening , as these lines are already in the default loop-single-forum.php, but glad you’re fixed
Hey Guys,
We would like the topics on the Forum index page to display in order of Freshness. I understand this to be the default behavior, but for some reason our forum is not using that ordering.
http://cornerstonecollective.com/forum/
I have looked in settings and dug into the source code looking for a way to set the order to use the appropriate meta data, which I believe to be _bbp_last_active_time, but cannot seem to find the answer. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
WordPress Version: 3.9.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
Website: http://cornerstonecollective.com/forum/
bbpress will use the default page template for the main index rather than the specific page template set in the page – so your setting in the forum page won’t apply.
There are several ways around this, but as your plugin is a paid one, I can’t see the code to recommend the best solution.
So first off I’d post a query onto their support site
Outstanding Support
they probably have come across bbpress before and will know the answer. You could tell them that bbpress uses ‘is_bbpress()’ to see if it is a bbpress page, that might help them.
Hello,
So I just started using bbpress over the weekend and so far I’m really liking it. There is only one issue I’m having that I can’t seem to figure out. I am using this plugin:
Custom Sidebars Pro
to allow me the function of different sidebars for different pages. It has worked perfectly for 90% of the forums pages except for the top level forum page. That is the only one that I can’t seem to get to use a sidebar other then the default one. At the moment, what I have done is manually made a page with the same slug as the top level forum page, left it blank except for the option that this other plugin enables to change the sidebars. Have a look at it here:
http://www.mythechllc.com/forums
if you look at the public forums page, you will see the side bar is what I want it to be, but if you look at the top level forums page, it reverts back to the default.
I’m still not having any issues with my vBulletin 3 databases 🙁
First up, once the import is finished the progress window should look something like this:

In particular, do you get to see the Conversion Complete without any errors shown?
Do you ever (or even know if you can remember) if you see the importer is actually converting topic tags per Converting topic tags (0 - 99) or do you see an error along the lines of WordPress database error: [Table 'vbulletincopy.tagthread' doesn't exist]
Also @themefurnace what version of vBulletin is it specifically? v3.1? v3.2? v3.81? etc
You want to change line #109 in form-topic.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.4/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php#L109
From:
<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>
To:
<?php if ( ! ( bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_topic_edit() ) ) : ?>
ok lets start by seeing if this is a plugin or theme issue

Hi Stephen,
thanks for the reply. I looked at the trac but it’s not strictly related, since it refers to the spam/trash/admin links on the front end.
What I noticed instead, (and you can test yourself and let me know) is simply as this: in the backend (wordpress admin area) when a topic is in the trashcan, and you click untrash (the same thing you would do with posts, pages, custom post types when you put the in the trashcan) you get the default nonce wordpress error. You simply “CAN’T” untrash something directly inside wordpress.
I was hoping that anyone else could try the same and give me confirmation that the issue exists (in the code i posted I was able to indentify the problem as well)
If you, or anyone else, can confirm there is this issue, I (or you, or whoever wants to) can open a ticket in the trac so it gets fixed asap 🙂
I just had a play with this and you are correct, it works for administrators/keymasters but not standard ‘participants’ or ‘anonymous’ users.
Grab this custom KSES plugin I have here https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990
I just added class to to the pre section as that is where the issue is, pre is allowed but <pre class="whatever"> is not.
Double check any of the other allowed tags and/or remove ones you don’t want/need.
Edit: I just double checked against the default bbPress allowed tags and all are there, you may or may not want the table sections, up to you. I also made a note to add class as an allowed tag of pre for bbPress core, I can’t think of a reason for us not to add this by default.
@leonyipa Don’t get you bb’s confused, what you wrote way up there and quoted here:
And I paste the code into: /public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-default/functions.php
That is the BuddyPress Theme ‘BP Default’, nothing to do with bbPress so make sure you are updating the correct files 😉
Hello! I’m interested in this to. You can add a sidebar manually to each topic page by going into ‘edit topic’ and selecting the layout option for the page that has a sidebar.
However, I would like to know if there’s a default option to have sidebars for ALL topic pages, without adding the sidebar one by one…

yes, but it doesn’t work 🙁
I also found the code is in
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
I directly change the number of
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
max-width: 100%;
}
However, no matter what number I change to, it still doesn’t work.
The width of the image still remain 100%
Problem solved! Thought I’d write the solution here in case anyone has the same problem.
In order to get the feeds coming through on the home page, the forum had to be public. However, I wanted the forum post content to be private and I wanted the user to be prompted to log in.
The solution was simple…
I created a custom content-single-topic.php template and added the following logic:
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
// display all the post content here
<?php } else { ?>
<p class=”message register”>This forum is accessible to approved users only</p>
<p class=”message”>Please log in to continue.<br></p>
<?php wp_login_form(); ?>
<? } ?>
—-
I dont know what I didn’t think of this earlier. The logic is simple… all forums are public by default but you must be logged in to view the forum topic content. If you’re not logged in, it asks you to log in and then redirects you to the right topic page.
