try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.
– this did not work and im not sure what you mean by this Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>
also im not using a default theme but everything else works the same as a default theme, in the basic bbpress theme.

Hello –
I’ve created a copy of bbpress.css in my child theme’s folder, but edits to this file don’t seem to be taking precedence over the child theme’s css file. Possibly something to do with the enqueue function in the child theme’s functions file, but I don’t know enough about that to check that.
I’m using WP version 4.6.1, bbPress version 2.5.11 and a custom child theme. The site’s forum page is here: http://www.amersa.org/forums.
The child theme functions file includes this function:
if (!function_exists(‘inspiry_enqueue_child_styles’)) {
function inspiry_enqueue_child_styles(){
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// dequeue and deregister parent default css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-default’ );
wp_deregister_style( ‘parent-default’ );
// dequeue parent custom css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );
// parent default css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-default’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ );
// parent custom css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );
// child default css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-default’, get_stylesheet_uri(), array(‘parent-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );
// child custom css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-custom’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/child-custom.css’, array(‘child-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );
}
}
}
Is this what’s causing the issue? Thanks.
An easy way to find bbpress themes is looking for wordpress themes with their own bbpress template (theme).
To difficult find just a bbpress theme.
You can also use a WordPress default theme and customize your bbpress through child themes or a custom css plugin.
that pipe is from the admin links and seems to be an extra one.- not sure why this appears for you – could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
That will hopefully tell you what is causing it
ok, untested but try
wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php
copy to your PC and
line 17
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />
change to
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />
save this file to
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
you could try uploading it to the main bbpress templates
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
But you will need to remember that any updates to bbpress will overwrite this, and you’ll need to repeat.
Otherwise suggest you search your site for loop-forums.php to see if any other instances are on it. If you overwrite them with the style pack version, then it must take effect at some point !
Whenever I try to update bbPress I keep getting this error:

Ok it was hanging for too long so here what i found out:
on the patch page (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/3026/3026.patch) you made few mistakes:
1. Line 663 KEY meta_join (meta_key, meta_value) ) {$charset_collate};”;
should finish with ” , ” not ” ;”; ” otherwise it will crash error
2. Line 660 PRIMARY KEY (meta_id),
is duplicated so i guess 660 or 661 can be removed
3. when running import after those changes in wordpress, converter is giving error message:
WordPress database error: [Key column ‘meta_id’ doesn’t exist in table]
CREATE TABLE wp_bbp_converter_translator ( value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key, meta_value) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Btw… im not a coder. No clue about php im just applying some logic to what i see 😉
Hi @johnjamesjacoby
Thanks for the update. I have downloaded again the alpha and installed it fresh on my website. Unfortunately still the same error message:
Repair any missing information: Continue

Thank you for the reply. I have downloaded and installed alpha.

I tried to find this error and potential solution. I found someone recommending bbpress toolkit. I have installed it and system info is as follow:
WP version 4.6.1
Theme Twenty Sixteen 1.3
PHP version 5.4.19
bbPress version 2.6-alpha-6091
Active Plugins Name and Version
– p1 bbP Toolkit 1.0.6
– p2 bbPress 2.6-alpha
Any idea ?
Create yourself a test user with the default participant role and use your browser “incognito” mode.
Also try disabling all your plugins and see if that fixes the issue.
one best way.ive done with my forum. All other ways are not working
-Update phpbb to the latest version
-use the BBpress Alpha 2.6
-import the data from phpbb
-do the fixes down under in separatly ( run sql in 5 steps, begin with the first)

Hi,
By default, to override bbpress template in theme, you need to create a folder called name “bbpress” in root folder theme, like this /%your_theme%/bbpress.
I have a question, How can change the location of bbpress folder in theme ?
I want to move it like this: /%my_theme%/vendors/bbpress
WAMP or server installation ?
ok, suggest
You deactivate, delete and re-install bbpress
If that doesn’t work
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
If those don’t then either maybe corrupt wordpress/server issue.
further to that. From the apache log. The script runs to start with, but next line, gives a 500 error

Hi,
I am using bbPress to create a forum for a customer. I use WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.
I downloaded the .mo and .po files in my language (Finnish) from this link, changed the file names into:
bbpress-fi_FI.mo and bbpress-fi_FI.po, and moved them to wp-content/languages/bbpress
Eventhough my wordpress site language is Finnish and I have those mo and po file in the folder, the bbpress forum is still in English.
I activated topic and reply subscriptions today, and the very first email I got was a bounce. I had written a response to someone else’s thread, and apparently, instead of sending it from my usual sending address (as specified in PostMAN SMTP: mail@domain.org) to my admin address (as specified in my profile: m@domain.org), it was sent from and to (!) this weird address: noreply@sudomain.domain.org (case is bbpress on one subdomain site of a MS network). Since I do not receive emails adressed to my subdomain, it was bounced to mail@domain.org.
Using this noreply@ does not make any sense to me, neither for sender, nor for recipient. Can anyone help? bbpress does not allow me to set a sending address, it just defined and used it. That is not good, since my SMTP plugin must have the last word in this. We all know that sending emails via PHPmailer/webserver (default WP behaviour) is unprofessional. And anyway, to send a notification to anywhere else than my profile email does not make sense. This looks very much like a bug, doesn’t it?
WP 4.6.1 (MS install w/subdomains), bbpress 2.5.11, PostMan SMTP 1.7.2, ~40 other plugins
Excerpt from PostMan SMTP’s log (with EDITS):
X-Mailer: Postman SMTP 1.7.2 for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/)
From: SITE NAME <noreply@de.DOMAIN.org>
Sender: mail@DOMAIN.org
To: noreply@de.DOMAIN.org
Well, the default Topic Tag slug is topic-tag, so I assume a dash isn’t a problem, but I also tried one without a dash and no dice.
Can’t immediately see any issue.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
There’s contradictory information inside these forums about whether it’s possible to have front-end editing for a forum in bbpress.
Within the code there’s obviously support (or once was). However, every attempt to access front-end editing using a /forum/sample-forum/edit url results in a 404.
Older posts here indicate this used to work. Yet, some more current posts state that front-end editing for forums is not yet(?) possible (only topics and replies).
What information is correct? Is front-end forum editing still possible in core as default or has it (for some reason) been deactivated? And if it is still an option what things could I check for why I’m getting a 404 instead of the form-forum.php template?
Thanks for any help,
Chad
suggest you go back to basics and try :

I am using the default BP theme.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

No love for this post? I’m using WordPress version 4.6.1, and I’ve received this feedback from my hosting provider regarding this issue:
I navigated to templates/default/bbpress/bbpress-templates and the file ‘bbpress-templates’ is a symbolic link to bbpress-templates:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sopearly_admin pg1217016 17 Jul 28 18:02 bbpress-templates -> bbpress-templates
I’m not exactly certain how the symbolic link is referring itself but I’m afraid you may have to inquire with bbpress support as to why the plugin is failing with permission errors due to the file, bbpress-templates.
