@zcoin,
bbPress is not different from WordPress. Basic information on the post (a forum, a topic or a reply are all a ‘post) is a record inside the wp_posts table. Then in the wp_postmeta table you will find more information for every post.
Hi @tonyleev,
That would be a question for the support forum of that plugin. Maybe it’s this one: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/moderation-tools-for-bbpress ?
Hello everyone!
I’ve set up a bbPress forum on a clean WordPress installation and applying the simpliest boxed theme to it (twentysixteen). I tested ie and everything was working fine so I made a child theme and started styling it.
Problem is, almost at the end of the customization, I realized that when I search something in the top form, the results page is completely messed up and I can’t seem to figure out why…
I’ve done some googling and ended up on these two topics:
Search css issues…
Template in Extras Directory for Search Results
But they didn’t help me because as for the first one, by using What The FIle plugin, turns out the files WP pulls up in the index and search restults are the same; as for the second one, I didn’t import any custom UI and the theme I created was made a child of twentysixteen which was quite vanilla as for looks.
I admit I’m not a sharp expert on the matter, but I’m out of options…
Does anyone have an idea of why the results page breaks so badly?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Have a nice day 🙂
my private groups plugin will let you do that using topics permissions
create a group, allocate a forum to it, activate topic permissions, set topic permissions to only allow users to create a topic and see replies to that topic. Set users you want to that group.

@studentfilmmakers As a start try using this plugin to style your bbpress.
bbp style pack
then come back with any further queries
I am frustrated with the lack of layout and theme availability for the bbpress. Yes, there are a hundred thousand themes you can use it with but a lot of them are only visually pleasing and not really made for functionality. What really bothers me is the use of the grey text that looks great aesthetically but it is not for reading. I am sure there is a way I can change the grey text and make the nice background show up after the post. I just have to find the person who can tell me where to edit this in the theme or style sheet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I like the way this forums looks. Is there a link I can download the them at. The link above is not in my face understandable for me. Here is it https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes
What can I do to make this work as a theme. The steps to make this happen would be appreciated greatly. Have a great day and God bless.
I am looking to do just what the original poster was looking for:
When a user creates a new topic, the menu assigned to this new topic should be the same menu as the forum. It is currently using the default WordPress menu. Can someone point me to the right code and where to add it to automatically assign the right menu to new topics? I appreciate your help.
Hello!
BbPress 2.5.14 WordPress 4.9.4
I define the language of the user’s browser in the php template.

try
bbp style pack
to get the style
I am struggling to implement a plugin / functionality to catch the likes and replies from a source user (giving the like/reply) and notify the destination user (the author of the post) in bbpress, the forum plugin from wordpress.
Are you aware of existing projects implementing this functionality in bbpress (even partially) ?
Which mechanisms / plugins are better to use to trigger actions in the frontend in this case? On the other hand, is it a better approach to put triggers on the database column?
I am more analyzing the database…it has good information, such as user id of the source user, post id. I am talking about the wp_posts table. However, the parent_post is the first post of the topic, so it is not the ierarhical parent post. I need somehow to identify the nested replies from the database, but I dont find the needed information there…
Thank you for your suggestions !
Hello,
i would like to know how to make my homepage as a forum. i mean when the user join my website he will directly see the forums. i dont want him to click the forum tab in menu and then join http://www.website.com/forum
like this website : https://www.utehub.com/
wordpres version : wordpress 4.9.4 , twent fifteen
bbpress version : 2.5.14
The site use wordpress.org and the theme is OceanWP. So now anybody can prove to use the bbpress plugin and see the screen that I was posted.
Not sure you can, and since users are allocated wordpress ID’s during import, which then link to the topics and replies, then a 2 stage import would not know which author to apply to which topic.
my style pack plugin has a latest activity widget that lets you display the above
bbp style pack
You can use Yoast plugin to display breadcrumb !
wp-dashboard –> Yoast –> search appearance –> breadcrumbs and then aticate it.
later on you will have to add a code to header.php
Full tutorial from here. if you have any question please don’t hesitate to ask me.
Thank you @robin-w! So the function I linked to activated the feature, and then I was able to copy the content-single-topic-lead.php into a bbpress folder in my theme, and edit it a bit like in your link. Feeling good about it.
I do have a question though, if anyone can help me figure this out (i’m new to php and am not familiar with the syntax). In the file https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php , on line 73, what this mean:
`<?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>’
That’s one of the few places I see the function called at all in the templates they edited. Still digging and learning. Thanks for any help or ideas.
Same question here. I am not a WordPress engineer. Will discuss this info with my friend, who is.
Thanks, Marten
my private groups plugin will allow you to set up forum where users can post threads, but not be seen by others

Hello!
We are looking to modify BBpress meaning:
– remove the possibility for anonymous users posting answers to questions.
– remove BBpress notices like ”You can publish HTML content” or ”You can use BBCodes to format your content”.
– remove the website field request when asking a question, along subject type and question status.
– add a name for the description field regarding the title of the subject.
– customize the right sidebar to include: add a question, search and categories of the forum.
We are using bbpress 2.5.14 and wordpress 4.7.9. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you!
WordPress 4.9.4, bbPress 2.5.14

From topic subscriptions I’m getting bounced email messages that look like this:
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: [name-of-site] <noreply@[name-of-site].org>
To: noreply@[name-of-site].org
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 19:14:35 +0000
Subject: …
You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.
Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.
They bounce, obviously, because they have the same From and To addresses. There is no user who has this address, obviously. The mail is being generated by PHP–that is, I’m not using any additional plugin to send mail.
Any ideas on what might be causing this, and how it might be resolved?
I’m sorry that I can’t link to the site, but it is an intranet, so not publicly available.
Thanks. Something that truly gave a clean interface (like gutenberg or medium.com as mentioned) would be ideal. But if there are not currently options for that for the bbpress text editor, are there options to improve the editor from the default?
For example, to make it comparable to the text editor for ‘Discourse’ forum sites? (like https://discuss.reactjs.org/ or https://discuss.atom.io/).
I have heard there may be a way to turn on the tinyMCE toolbar in bbpress, which is an improvement.
However, I’m new to wordpress, but that seems to normally go along with a text editor that gives the writer two less than ideal options: a (i) “visual” option with the tinyMCE (the problem being it strips away a lot of formatting–for example removing tabs if you paste code in) or (ii) the basic “text” option, which is not great for a general audience bc it requires the writer deal with stuff like tags and html-jargon. Its also confusing to give users two different options that seem to do the same thing but in slightly different ways.
So, if a Gutenberg-like experience is too much to ask right now, is there anything around that can give users the straightforward toolbar experience of the “Discourse” text editor?
the wordpress forums run on bbpress, for instance
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
this one has 39,000 pages of 15 topics per page, so maybe give it a speed test !
No reason why you shouldn’t just run a forum on a site – up to you
