Thank to your suggestions I’ve made some attemptd, so I deduced that the problem is the theme used. Is it possible to “copy” the editor from default theme to that used on my site?
Hi,
How can I change the default display name from bbpress? I’d like to display first_name instead of username by default, without members having to edit profile to get it.
Thanks
Hey guys,

Hi Casiepa,
Is this the “ultimate fix”?
I changed the line but it does not have any effect. I also tried the “fix” by timsilva_ but that doesn’t work either. I revert back to 4.3.1, disabled all plugins but bbPress and the problem remains. Before the upgrade there were no problems.
I’m using quite a lot of bbPress enhancement addons but i don’t think they interfere
- bbP private groups 3.0.8<
- bbPress Do Short Codes 1.0.3
- ppPress Votes 1.1.0
- GD bbPress Attachments 2.3.1
Since Im a keymaster I didnt notice is but got complains from user there topics were gone. Also – they can actually create new topics and they are saved but they just cant see them. They got the imfamous “Oh bother!” message but the freshness information bar says they actually were the last that posted something.
Now – if I make that user moderator everything seems to be working as it should – but hey – i dont want to apply that workaround.
Our problem has something to do with the upgrade and I guess something to do with rights. The only rights-plugin being used is bbp private groups but people confirmed that that plugin is compatible..
Also change the permalink to default – no effect aswell
Please advice..
Hi Casiepa
Like i said, I have already wp 4.4
I know it’s almost impossible to help, but I really do not know what happend 🙁 I have tried to switch to a default theme and then it worked.
Should I just try to upload a fresh version of the theme? Maybe I just answered my own question 😀
Hi,
When you say ‘until the other day’, can you explain what happened ? Maybe an upgrade to WP 4.4 ?
Did you try to switch to a default theme to see if that fixed ?
Pascal.
The default bbPress forum index shortcode works fine. And it does not have arguments for removing the search bar, and showing specific forums in the forum index only.
You had some code that uses the shortcodes in the plugin bbp style pack.
Here is a shortcode from the bbp style pack plugin.
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= '2932, 2921' breadcrumb='no' search='no']
On your profile page and your forum index page it shoudn’t have this layout by default. It is most likely happening because of the template that bbPress is inheriting. You would need to follow this guide and create a bbpress.php file and place it in your child theme.
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
Here is an example bbpress.php file for your Canvas child theme. It is what I created straight from Canvas original theme code.

I had a feeling you were using that plugin, that is why you linked to the single reply post.
There is a little shortcode you have to change in the plugins settings for the notification. It should have it this way by default, but it does not. Might need to contact the plugin author to set that as the default setup.
I think you have to change [reply-url] with [reply-replyurl] in the plugins settings. It adds the settings to bbPress default settings in Settings > Forums.
Guys some devs and I are having a hard time duplicating this issue.
This is how I tested it and come across no issues.
WordPress: 4.4
bbPress: 2.5.8
I tried these default WordPress themes
2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016
I tried these forum structures.
Category > Forum > Forum
Category > Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Forum
Category > Private: Forum
Forum > Forum
Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Category > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Private: Forum
With the postname permalink structure (since it is most commonly used and I want to try to duplicate it)
Other things I like to ask is if this is a theme side 404 message being outputted or the normal no topics/forums found here message bbPress outputs like the one below (it could be different if you are using a different language than English for bbPress of course).
Oh bother! No topics were found here!
If you guys can help ask a few questions like the ones that @casiepa asked and these additional ones.
What is your bbPress version?
Have you already tried troubleshooting for a possible plugin/theme conflict?
Are you guys using BuddyPress groups for group forums?
Are the issues only happening on private forums? (Like @kpdub has said)
Did you try the postname permalink structure?
Another thing I may suggest to help try to gather information for the developers, is to try to duplicate the issue yourself. Try to duplicate the issue again on a local installation on your computer. If you can tell us step by step to duplicate it.
Creating a Test Site
I’m using default users in wordpress for the bbpress forums as for the regular pages for wordpress.
I’ve installed WordPress Access Control to disallow visitors and regular members from viewing certain pages. These are only allowed to be shown to the paying members of the organisation.
I’ve configured the Access Control to redirect to the page with the bbpress login form when a user isn’t logged in and tries to view a page to encourage paid subscriptions.
The redirect to the login form looks good since it has a value refering to the original page and the link is in this format:
login/?redirect_to=/some-folder/the-page-the-user-tries-to-view
However when a user logs in correctly, the login page is still showing with the message that they’re already logged in. The link has changed to this:
login/?redirect_to=%2Fsome-folder%2Fthe-page-the-user-tries-to-view
So how can I catch that parameter and do the proper redirect to the page where the users initially was?
My forum is this
http://asiahairtalk.com/forums/topic/anyone-here-has-started-any-new-treatment/
And i have tried to edit the font size at /plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
but i dont see the font changes at all.
I am trying very hard to edit:
1) reply font size
2) Author name’s font size
3) Avatar size
4) alternate post background colour
Thanks guys for helping.
Hi Guys,
I got the problem, that new posts/threads are shown to every member, even when they got no rights to access them. Is there a fix or workaround available?
I used the default “New posts” widget and the one from GD without success.
Thanks in advance Guys,
Julian
Hello you have mentioned Czech is incomplete right now. I am front-end developer, I need CZ for bbPress so I spent some time to fill all missing strings in GlotPress (https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/dev/cs/default). I am not sure how/when it will be approved.
Right then after some trial and error:
You can add into the footer on the main bbpress forum page by editing the following file:
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-archive-forum.php
Just add whatever you need where I have put <p>Example text here</p> on the following code
<?php endif; ?>
<p>Example text here</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>
Hope this helps others who need this advice!
Regards,
Gareth
I have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch
In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.
What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?
I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3
Updated to WP 4.4 and sub forums are no longer accessible, getting the Ooops….message
Tried deactivating all plugins, using a default template and still get the same error.
IF I go into dashboard I can actually get to the topics from the backend, but its of no use to my site members
Have asked for my hosting company to reinstall a backup from last 24 hours as my backup failed
MODERATOR EDIT :
There is a SUMMARY of this issue and what to do at the end of this thread (or near it) – to save newcomers having to read the whole thread
I cannot replicate this issue on the default single site installation of bbPress, or on multisite, using the bbPress forum index shortcode.
Glad you fixed it using a tool?? Do not know for sure what tool exactly you are talking about though.
Using WordPress 4.2.1, bbpress 2.5.8.
The problem I have it the following: (dots are spaces, eg. how many times enter has been pressed)
“Example post
.
.
.
Example post”
won’t keep its original spacing and gets squeezed into:
“Example post
Example post”
I don’t want to increase the default margins, I just want bbpress to recognize spaces in a post.
Ok. Thanks, but which theme are you talking about?? the bbpress theme or my blog theme??? because am using the bbpress default theme
@drewamca using this PHP code snippet will also work too. Add this function to your child themes functions.php file or add it to a seperate plugin like functionality.
function filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings( $settings ) {
$buttons_array = explode( ',', $settings['buttons'] );
$buttons = array_diff( $buttons_array, array(
'del','ul','ol','li','close'
) );
$settings['buttons'] = implode( ',', $buttons );
return $settings;
};
add_filter( 'bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 'filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 10, 1 );
Here is a list of the default buttons you can add to the function.
strong, em, link, block, del, img, ul, ol, li, code, close
help please?
My group forums suddenly disappeared, but get this, only the active ones (if that gives any clue) I get this message now when I visit the forum:
This group does not currently have a forum.
I tried fresh installs of bbpress, nothing is changing.
When I go to the backend of groups, I can select the forum name, and save settings: but the forum is still not on the front end.
In the dropdown menu on the frontend of the group, the default shows now as “No Forum”, then there are other group forums in the dropdown menu, but none of the ones listed are that group’s forum name.
site: http://planetgirlworld.com/wordpress
everything is updated to latest version.
we use theme “Kleo”.
@kallard
Checking your site again, the padding for the bbPress forum header that shows the labels looks a little cozy to the left, you may need to edit the padding-left: 0 !important;, by default I think the padding is set to about 8px, maybe setting 0 to 8px or removing the !important might help with that.
How do I add the number of posts under the name and the symbolic images of the user?
Post count is coming to a future release of bbPress. You can use a plugin like this to add the counts for now.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/
What exactly do you mean by symbolic images??
How do I change the title to any user of an optional title?
Ex: the title of the current user in the Forum (supervisor) want to have the title of supervisor (supervisor pictures)
You can rename the current forum roles to whatever you want with this php code snippet in this guide. Add the function to your child themes functions.php or in a plugin that can hold custom code snippets like functionality.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
You can also create custom user roles with custom capabilities and add the custom names there.
Custom Capabilities
How to determine the powers of the supervisors so far have not I transfer Lists Musharraf to it have all the powers modification and deletion of all sections I wanted to be the powers of the supervisor on only a particular section
Assigning a user to a forum is not possible in the default functionality of the latest stable version of bbPress.
copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file
please what is child theme, and what do you mean by me adapting the file??
am sorry for my ignorance, thanks so much for the reply
