bbPress doesnt have a specific admin area for itself, it basically just uses the existing WordPress admin area.
you can,
create all the forums in the backend.
create some topics/replies in the backend but for me its better to do it frontend.
go to the settings menu go into the bbPress settings by going to settigns > forums in the backend of WordPress.
manage users in the backend.
use the addditional tools in the tools section, its named forums.
use the moderation and blacklisting settings in settings > discussion.
if you need help trying to find something else reply back.
BuddyPress should have this feature , bbPress is also compatible with BuddyPress.

I tried with twentyfifteen and it still looks the same. Im not sure if i understand it clearly, but if yes, then: If i set it not equal then in the breadcrump it will show the bbpress’s virtual page for the forum root-and in the url also, and not my real wordpress forum page i created with shortcodes.
yes, like so 
And this is how it looks on the page now 
But setting the forum root to be the wordpress page clearly makes the problem, before it looks just perfect.
(down below if images dont appear)
the same as my wp page’s slug
by which I think you mean you have a WordPress page called say ‘forum’ with the slug of ‘foforum’ with the [bbp-forum-index] in it?
Sorry if i wasn’t clear. So my problem basically is: BBpress has the forum root option, that i set the same as my wp page’s slug. It works, forum is shown on the wordpress page, and the url is okay, and the breadcrump is also okay.–>but setting the root to show forum on my wp page also breaks my [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes—-it seems to now show up on the page as if it was this shortcode:[bbp-forum-index] instead of each and every one of my[bbp-single-forum id=xxx] shortcodes.
I just made one, check it out !

Allow users to vote up or down to topics and replies inside bbPress, just like you can on StackOverflow for example.
Hello!
First: I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 running The Thinker Lite theme. I’m using bbPress 2.5.6 and my site is artintheblood.net.
I would like to change the color of the hyperlinks that appear in posts on my forum. For example, I’d like to have them be blue. I went in yesterday in hopes of doing that, but when I made the changes via the bbPress style pack (which is completely brilliant), ALL of the links were changed. The topic titles, user names, everything.
Is there a way to only change the color of links that appear within posts? Or is this just a lovely pipe dream that exists in my head?
Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!
any kind of wordpress/bbpress or other website that has open public registration needs very strong anti spambot protection, i use a few different plugins, but some spammers still get through sometimes, no one plugin will get them all…
these 2 work well together, but a few bots etc will still slip though, search this bbpress forum for more anti-spam info

Our phpbb3 forum was migrated to a brand new WordPress installation with bbPress installed (not BuddyPress). It was done by a consultant, so I am not sure how much of the code was custom vs a phpbb3 migration tool.
We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced” and allowing the read_private_topics and read_private_replies. This now allows Participants to read the private topics, but also allows them to see Hidden forums. They cannot see the content/topics of the forums, but they can see the hidden forum titles.
The remapping to default was done with the repair tool. It had no impact, except to require me to go back and reset the handful of users that were not set to Participants.
The big question that seems unresolved in many threads is whether Participants are supposed to see Private topics/replies, or if that is a misprint in the documentation? Why would we have to use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to do what the docs say should happen by default.
I’d suggest you upgrade to latest wordpress, not to fix this issue, but because you leave your site more open to attack by using old software.
Onto your problem…if profiles are viewable by non logged in users – can you post a link to the forum so that we can see the issue
bbpress hooks to wordpress registration, so any wordpress recapcha should work, you just load the relevant plugin and follow instructions
Unfortunately, with the upgrade to WordPress 4.x these little snippets no longer work – I read elsewhere that bbpress search had some updates which likely render these snippers useless. : (
If anyone has the updated code, I would really appreciate it!!
Ciao,

use a wordpress re-captcha programme to stop the automatic, so that only real people come through
eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha/
there are others and I haven’t tried this one (or any) – just google !
I tried three plug-ins from the WordPress repository and all of them send Text e-mails for bbpress notifications.
– bbPress Notify
– bbPress Notifications
– bbPress Custom Reply Notifications*
I also tried Satollo’s bbpress plug-in, Satollo x bbPress, which DOES send HTML e-mails and is available only on his website (not in the repository) but it’s a little buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but every time someone submits a comment they get a page with php warnings and errors-eeek!
I’m only a PHP tweaker, not writer, and cannot make out the spaghetti code of the three robust plug-ins to find where and how to add the information that the notification should go out in HTML.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!

Is there a problem having my forum visitors upload their images to my wordpress media library, or should I require them to host the images elsewhere? How are other people doing this? Thanks!
Someone suggested that I install bbpress on a new wordpress install on a subdomain, rather than on my main blog. Is this necessary? I already have 50,000+ visits per month to my blog, so I anticipate high traffic to the forum also.
yes, just use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
which will let you set up exactly that
you can add the bbpress post type to the default wordpress search.
copy this into your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );
function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );
THANKS! will look into the plugin.
HMM.. Using the Listify wordpress theme.
I can’t find anything in the code. I was able to remove the first page title if I want, but I want to leave that.
The big grey box I wanted to remove.
Thanks!
there is this.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/
there is also a bunch of other like/voting plugins that you could use for bbPress.
Just trying to have recent forum activity listed in that sidebar.
try the ‘latest activity widget’ in my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
one other thing – how can we fix the forum header
This is a theme issue – who’s theme are you using?
Hi all,
I have slowly developed my own theme for bbPress + WordPress, and it has been a sharp learning curve trying to get my head around the code for WordPress. Anyway, I am having an issue where I can drill down into a topic, however, no posts are ever displayed. The only thing that is displayed on screen is the “Add new Reply” GUI.
I am essentially wondering, why is this happening, and how can I fix it? I have tried to replicate the same problem on the default wordpress themes and they work fine, so – what have I managed to do with my theme that has broken everything?
Any help would be appreciated,
