I have had no problem editing the appearance of the forum until I tried to change the background color of the current navigation link on the user details page… its the list of link including profile, topics started, replies created, etc…
I have been editing it with the ‘custom css’ feature of my theme… this is what I added
#bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details #bbp-user-navigation li.current a {
background-color: #12681A;
}
I grabbed that code from the ‘inspector’ tool using F12 in my browser… just changed the color code… but is not affecting the page…
any suggestions why this particular element isn’t being affected?
wordpress 4.22
bbPress 2.5.7

This is an old topic but in case you’re still looking for help (or if helpful to someone else), this plugin allows you to use a shortcode to display a list of notifications (and other buddypress things) in a page or post:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bowe-codes/
Do you mean that when a new user registers a topic containing their profile details would also be created in a specific forum?
That would be do-able I’m sure but would probably need custom coding, or there may be a plugin that will do this, you’d have to do some hunting on the forums here and on WordPress.org.
If you want to temporarily disable a plugin(s) or custom theme you can access your site via FTP and move the folders (don’t delete!) out of their respective places. This will disable the plugin/set WordPress to use the default theme.
Then you should at least be able to login to your dashboard.
Hope that helps!
You can probably use a regular WordPress plugin to do this, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-bulkquick-edit/
Thank Robin W for your link. I do all instructions in this topic but the issue is not fixes. I disable all my plugins except bbpress, also i change my default template for wordpress default theme but i get same error.
You don’t have another solution ?
Hello, this is my second ost in this forum. I install bbpress plugin in my wordpress website and when i want to post topics or replies in my Front-End i get ERROR : Are you sure to do that ?.
Please i need your help
Wordpress version: 4.2.2
bbPress version: 2.5.7
Template version : Dream theme The7.2
Hello,
My search function didn’t work for a good while (a search was redirecting to the homepage), and I realized today that it was an issue with buddypress or plugins I used with buddypress.
Now that I disabled Buddypress, I can now search the forum again but unfortunately, the search results are protected by a password.
I use s2member to protect one of my forum, so it is only accessible to subscribers, but all the other forums are opened. I tried to lift the s2member block of the subscribers forum but still the same thing happens anyway.
I also tested the issue with twenty fifteen and the same thing happened.
I am using bbpress Version 2.5.7, WordPress Version 4.2.2
Site is http://www.tourdecartes.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[PLEASE ACCEPT THIS THREAD, IM NOT A ROBOT]
haha just do not post more than two links and you will be fine.
its not working, it says “User registration is currently not allowed
Go to settings > General in the WordPress back-end and allow anyone to register.
Is there a plugin or a method I can use to disable topic creation on a certain forum? I want to have a news forum for all my news posts and only allow comments on the topics I create, but not allow any topics to be created by anyone else. I do want users to be able to create topics in my other forums though. I noticed that turning the forum into a category kind of adds that ability, but then it removes the news forum for the forum page, which I don’t want.
I’ve been searching plugins and forums for the last couple hours without much luck. Any plugins that I’ve found that did this are way outdated and don’t seem to work correctly with new versions. I am using the newest version of wordpress and bbpress and in the middle of building a new theme from the ground up. Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.
This plugins should help if you want more control.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/
Without a Plugin you have to add this to your child themes functions.php
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect' );
function rkk_login_redirect() {
// Change forums to whatever is your forum main page
return home_url( '/forums' );
}
One way to achieve this sort of thing would be using the ‘Display Posts Shortcode’ plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
Once installed you can add a shortcode to a post or page to display a list of all topics and replies:
[display-posts post_type=”topic,reply”]
and there’s lots of different settings you can customise, see documentation here:
https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/wiki
You may just need to customise the look of it to be more like a normal ‘activity’ page as normally this will just give a plain text list of your posts, so it depends on your needs.
Hope that helps 🙂
eta: You would still have to click on the posts in the list and go to their own page to add a reply. I’m not sure if that’s something you are trying to avoid when you say “batch process my replying right there. no clicking to forums” I’m presuming you just mean no clicking to see the posts, not for replying.
I’d love there to be somewhere to turn comments into replies, but it ain’t in settings > discussion.
I’ve googled lots of “import/convert wordpress comments to bbpress topics/replies” and got nowhere. The stumbling block being that WP comments are in wp_comments and bbpress replies are in wp_posts.
Anyone got a good solution for this?
Shmoo, thank you for help!
Please tell me whether to allow the plugin User Role Editor (for WordPress) to prescribe the role solely for integrated in WordPress Forum bbPress? (To these roles do not apply to the entire website to WordPress).
Hi,
in the website of one of my customers, bbpress works perfectly if the user is not logged in but, when I am logged as wordpress admin, the pages of the bbpress forum are not visibile and show a 500 error. The error-log file shows this error:
WordPress errore sul database Lost connection to MySQL server during query per la query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%Ansia%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%Ansia%’)) AND ((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%intermittente%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%intermittente%’))) AND (wp_posts.post_password = ”) AND (
( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’ AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) != ’43’ )
) AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 15 fatta da require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/supportdesk/search-topics.php’), bbp_has_search_results, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
how can I fix it?

I use :
Wordpress version: 4.2.2
bbPress version: 2.5.7
akismet version: 3.1.1
WordPress 4.2.2 running Make theme. bbPress Version 2.5.7
The site is in countdown mode, so there’s nothing to see there. But I created a forums page using the permalink method and it works well, except I can’t seem to get rid of the useless and annoying empty author mark. Can anyone help?

I would like the hover colour for all the text links to be in red.
I have added the following to the custom CSS box:
a:hover{color:red; !important;}
This does not work in my sidebar.
It works for the bbpress login widget, but not for Forum List, Recent Topics or Recent Replies widgets.
Please can you tell me what CSS code to use.
to save someone scrolling through, this is the solution posted by @themusiciangirl1 – thanks Maya !
Guys, I DID IT! After spending the better part of a day sweating over this problem, I finally fixed it. The solution is so simple, I have no idea why it took me so freaking long to think of it!
1. Download and install the “page links to” plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/
2. Go to Dashboard –> All pages –> and then click edit on your default forum page (usually http://www.yoursite.com/forums)
3. Once you’re on the editing page, scroll down to where your new plugin has two, magic little options for you. The first one, “this is a normal wordpress page,” is probably checked. Instead, check the one right below it, the one that says “custom url” or something like that. Enter the url for the page that you WANT your default forums page to be. Click publish.
TA-DA! Now, when you click on “forums” in your breadcrumbs trail, instead of taking you to that default index page, it’ll take you to the special one that you made using the index shortcode.
It is currently on PHPbb 3.1.3.
Known issue that is being worked on.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716
if you want you can also just patch the current phpbb importer using the most recent file @netweb posted.
I doubt someone will make a plugin like this in the near future because it’s listed as a native bbPress feature for 2.7. ( next year at bbPres dev pace )
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.7
If you’re feeling comfy editing the bbPress template files you could make something like this in a very basic setup.
1) You’d need to add a few different user_roles to WordPress and give each moderator it’s own user_role
2) Next you’d have to work with conditional PHP tags. For example: PHP -> If [ user_role = xxx AND topic is in forum ID ZZZ ] then –> show the moderation links. IF the above rule is not true –> don’t show them at all and return nothing.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
This isn’t very difficult if you have beginner PHP knowledge or let’s say you’re not afraid to touch the template files on a development install. Never do this on a Live site if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Hi, guys,
Yes, I know this topic has been somewhat discussed in a few other threads and I’ve read through them all, but I’m still not really clear on what the pros/cons are for installing this plugin in one’s existing domain/website vs. in a sub-domain. One comment that made an impression on me was one person’s claim that over time it would be hard to keep the bbpress databases optimized if you install in your main domain since bbpress shares databases with wordpress. This, according to the person, would slow down the site.
Can anyone with experience or wisdom give me a definitive statement of the pros and cons of installing in one’s main site domain vs. a sub-domain so that I can stop this endless search for answers and just install this thing? 🙂 THANKS!!

The setup current user error is a bug in WordPress.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24169
@jookkoo
The groups issue is known bug and the trac ticket for it is here.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782
OH my god, why the plugin author don’t fix this issue.
But most of all need to say thank you again.
It is an issue with two different plugins, bbPress and BuddyPress.
the fix seems to be slated for bbPress 2.6
The Groups error might be a known issue too.
I think that is this ticket
