i think its custom code that bbpress.org has, but basically its a customized WordPress Admin bar
you probably can
you would just really need a good upvote/downvote plugin
this might be a good post rating plugin that has alot of filters to be able to do it
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/changelog/
but then you would have to customize the query of the topics replies to sort.
and of course enable thread repies with at least 1 or 2 threads.
i don’t have a step by step but its definitly possible
you probably need to go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job so a developer can custom develop this for you.
when theme developers say their theme is “bbPress ready”
it usually means they followed this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Are there special features included in bbPress ready themes, if so what are the features called?
There could showing post count below the author avatar but you can easily do that by installing Robins plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/.
I have seen some themes have applied styling to some unread posts plugin , but really nothing too crazy that you cant get with free plugins and doing it manually without causing a hard time developing.
hi Jacob, first of all, P2Breathe is a boring theme, and all those functions are common to install to any bbpress forum.
I would love to see a link to your slowed down website, just to have a look.
I disagree with your initial statements about bbpress not being mature forum software, Vbulletin and IPBoard are both main competitors, but bloated and full of extra functions most forums do not use/need, slowing them down just as much as some plugins can do to bbpress.
BBPress does exactly what they do, and perhaps even more thanks to the wordpress platform and the 1000’s of people on forums developing more every day, ofcourse most plugins are crap (sorry dev’s) just like anything that comes mass produced, but following tips and hints from other users should guide you through the swamp to find the real gems there are available.
For me BBPress is becoming more and more the forum choice by default.
And you mentioned Disquss, so no need to have bbpress concentrate on comments for wordpress since there is already a very good alternative.

ok, it’s your theme that’s causing the issue, some theme authors are too clever with their coding, and bbpress uses a category of archive, hence why it is displaying this sidebar. Also I suspect the theme won’t be allowing dynamic sidebars, hence why tweaks isn’t working.
So onto plan b !
install a plugin called ‘widget logic’
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
Then against each widget in your archive/post/search sidebar, you’ll see an extra field called widget logic
If you want that widget only in bbpress forums put
is_bbpress()
in to that line
if you don’t want that widget in bbpress, but do want it in other pages that use the archive/post/search sidebar the put
!is_bbpress()
in the widget logic area
If you want in both, then leave widget logic blank.
ok, since tis is a paid theme, Themeforest ought to fix this issue
Suggest you contact them on

Robin,
I remove all other plugins/themes and it works fine, but that’s not what I want. I will use the theme I have set up, and I’m not finished adding plugins. Everything plays nice until I activate the bbpress plugin. Is there a place to look at incompatibilities and fixes for those incompatibilities (Within or outside of my site.)? Other forum plugins work well, but I’m interested in using bbPress for it’s tight integration with WordPress. Again there is an error message, but I cannot figure out why the error is being caused.
Thanks for help!
I changed the template to full width, but it did nothing. I’ve followed advice from the Step by Step guide and other threads, but nothing has worked. I’ve tried duplicating page.php, renaming it bbpress.php and adding changes, but it is ignored. I’ve tried the same process with single.php, index.php and fullwidth.php without any affect. I’ve also tried using forum.php and forums.php instead of bbpress.php.
My site is gigageekmagazine.com. I have the twenty fourteen child theme. Version 4.0.1 of WordPress. My forum is located at http://www.gigageekmagazine.com/forums/
Thank you!
i have installed the wordpress and activated bbpress plugin. i tried and cant really find how to view forums. can anyone help me with that ? i am new to this pls help me. i can see forums settings on wordpress dashboard but cant figure out whats the url to view forums.
I don’t understand why I have posted in this forum before, but somehow my post has been deleted? Now I try to post it again.
I have buddypress version 2.2.0, bbpress version 2.5.4, and wordpress version 4.1. I don’t understand why on some forums I can post topics, and some can’t? For example, I have created 2 different forums which are Beauty and Healthy Food, the problem is that I can create topics in beauty forum, but not in the Healthy Food forum? So, I don’t understand why? I thank you in advance!
The forum that I can post topics is: http://buppha.com/forums/forum/beauty/
The forum that I cannot post topics is: http://buppha.com/forums/forum/forums/healthy-food/
hmm…this is a buddypress issue I think
see
Group Settings and Roles
Don’t think there is anyway to alter these.
you could try
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
and see if you can integrate this into buddypress.
@korobochkin, The official bbPress repo links are as follows,
SVN:
https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org
Git:
git://bbpress.git.wordpress.org
I was able to pin it down a bit more. I discovered that this was happening only when the woocommerce shop page was set as Front page in the WordPress Reading Settings. How come? Beats me, but when I selected another page as front page the Forums shows up. Beside that I have a topic out at Woocommerce that the pagination is not working properly. When the shop page is set as front page, the second and any other product page I want to go to takes me to a wrong page. So it looks like it is a permalink issue caused by one of the plugins.
However I definitely want the shop page as my front page. So I had to find a work around. I downloaded a page redirect plugin called Page Links To, created a new page and named it Start. There is no content on that page, I only set the redirect. Selected this page as the static Front page an it all works.
I have my shop page at front, the woocommerce pagination works and the bbPress forums are showing.
Of course the real issue is not solved so please do investigate and let me know.
I think this plugin does this backwards.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/
Looks like it has something to do with comments and forum posts not exactly what Im looking for.
The way Id like this to work is when I create a post on my blog, a forum post will created as well.
Thx
try the wordpress importer plugin and see if that works i recommend doing it on a local test site though.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/
i think its the common redirect for wordpress to redirect to the front page after login
you can use a plugin like this to customize where what user redirects where
https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/
maybe use something like this for buddypress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/breadcrumbs-everywhere/
or just yoast breadcrumbs in the yoast seo plugin
Does anyone know if this is a plugin or is this all back end coded?
its all custom code
The more I look at it, it appears to be the core WordPress “Howdy, User” admin bar
that it , even in the source it says #wpadminbar
