I too had this issue and found countless other posts dated many years ago with no solution. I am using bbpress v2.5.4 and buddypress v2.1.1 on WordPress v4.1. I “resolved” this by editing my functions.php file within the bbpress plugin directory and replacing any character values with a blank. Good enough for me. This “solution” IS NOT RECOMMENDED as any update to bbpress is more than likely to overwrite it. Unless you don’t mind going back in and remembering to re-hack it after each update. No doubt it can be done better. The client just requested I get rid of the code values. Without further to do…
GoTo: yoursite\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php
Between Lines 1090 and 1091 Add:
$search_bbpress_titles = array("&# 039;", "&am p;", "R 11;", "&qu ot;"); // ' & - "
$topic_title = str_replace($search_bbpress_titles, '', $topic_title);
Then add the same two lines further down between Lines 1233 and 1234.
NOTE: You will have to remove the spaces from the $search_bbpress_titles array line as I was unable to post without it parsing that line. Don’t know the coding on this form to post properly. Email me if you need the code.
Looking forward to any other helpful input. No need to remind me how better you are at coding. 🙂
Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.
By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !
But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :
Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to
http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/
which allows a user to edit
But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit
which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.
So participants see this link which they can’t use !!
Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.
Hi Guys,
I am trying to have a page in WordPress which shows two sections:
1) posts with 20 or more replies
2) posts with 19 or less replies
I have created a page with the following shortcodes:
[bbp-single-view id="twentyplus_posts"]
[bbp-single-view id="lesstwenty_posts"]
I have added the following into my themes functions.php file:
// Add Custom View - Forum Home
add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_twentyplus_posts_init' );
function view_twentyplus_posts_init()
{
$args = array( 'post_count' => '>19' );
bb_register_view( 'twentyplus_posts', __('Popular Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}
add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_lesstwenty_posts_init' );
function view_lesstwenty_posts_init()
{
$args = array( 'post_count' => '<20' );
bb_register_view( 'lesstwenty_posts', __('Forum Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}
However all I get in response is:
Oh bother! No topics were found here!
Oh bother! No topics were found here!
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
It has taken me a while, and sorry @jacobofeijoo probably far too late for you, but just published a plugin that should do all the forum styling you need
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
For those who have been asking a new plugin which hopefully will help
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
Changing style items – now in this plugin so no need to create child themes and post complicated code into style sheets
Changing how the forum looks, the most asked for items, such as vertical sub forums, hiding counts, adding ‘create new topic’ links, removing ‘private’ prefix, adding forum descriptions, changing breadcrumbs and more
Login – create simple menu items to help with logging in, registration and changing profiles
Shortcodes – 3 useful new shortcodes to help your display
Feedback both positive and ‘needs improvement’ welcomed !
suggest you put this as a project on

Hi,
When a user creates an account at http://thewritepractice.com/index.php?/register/JUZsw5 and then goes to the bbPress forum at http://thewritepractice.com/bw and posts a topic, there is an Edit link at the bottom of that topic. But when they click that link, they get this error message:
You are not allowed to edit this item.
A few notes:
- I’m on the latest version of WordPress.
- This problem persists when all plugins but bbPress is activated.
- This problem persists when the 2015 theme is activated.
I installed and activated the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin and learned that if I enabled “Edit others topics” for Participants, the participant could then edit their topic.
So in other words, bbPress thinks that the topic is being created by someone other than themselves.
Any ideas how this could be the case? It’s very strange…
Thanks!
since bbpress uses wordpress registration this is really a wordpress issue
In wordpress you should just disable ‘anyone can register’
I’m also stopped recive the notifications by email after update… to 2.5.4 (not sure about version). This happens because new bbPress send one email to all subscribed people. I publish the solutions for another issue few weeks ago https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hook-to-bbpress-notifications/#post-156426 but it also the solution for your issue.
In few words about my code:
- Disable default bbPress notifications (one email per all users).
- Add similar notifications but it sends one email per user and WordPress send it by using cron (not immediately).
P. S. I’m also using WP SMTP plugin to send email throw external SMTP server.
I have the same issue as above, ‘When someone fill out the password reset form on BBP forum and hits submit, the page just refreshes. it looks like the form just hasn’t worked.’, but it does. The email is sent. Once the email is sent the steps that follow are the same as a normal WordPress password reset.
The above php functions changes what happens after the email is sent and the email link is used to reset the password. They do not effect the original issue- ‘it looks like the form just hasn’t worked.’
Thank you for your time.

I agree, plugins tend to break WordPress every now and then, but I did hardcode certain plugins directly into my child theme, these can not update unless I update them myself.
In my first 12 months of WordPress studies/experiments there were a lot ofplugins binned due to conflicts or outright fails.
Thank you 🙂 I’m just trying to use this repository like bower_component. I can’t find SVN URL endpoint to using it in bower. Few examples from Bower API (bower. io/docs/api/#install):
svn+ssh://package. googlecode. com/svn/
svn+https://package. googlecode. com/svn/
svn+http://package. googlecode. com/svn/
I try use svn+h t t p s : / / bbpress. svn. wordpress. org/ but it doesn’t work.
P. S. I use a lot of spaces because bbpress. org doesn’t allow publish replies with external links.

I did contact Robin, his response:
“The only fixes (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/reply-subscribed/
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/) I have are the ones in the original email.
If emails are coming from wordpress, then they should be ok from bbpress.
Do you have any plugins that could be causing conflict, or maybe your theme.
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.”
Did anyone solve this?
So I’m having a problem with BBpress recently on my website http://www.sg-carterpack.com at my webhost (Site5) works with resource points and with using BBpress the resource usage has been increasing by the day.
If this plugin is disabled a daily resource usage is between 100 – 200 resource points, however when I enable BBpress it suddenly rises to 600 to 800 and even +900 resource points in a single day.
This of course makes the web hosts disable my website when it crosses the limit of 450 resource points per day.
I’ve already completely remove my wordpress installation, theme, and all plugins to then completely re-install everything from scratch as before I also had problems with BBpress not showing after updating to wordpress 4.0.
With that I before didn’t know it was caused by the BBpress I was already trying to optimise with using W3 Total Cache and Cloudflare to try to reduce it, yet this wasn’t the case. The website in general did became faster however the resource usage stayed the same.
So currently the forum is installed on new installation yet the forum is still hogging up resources so my question here is:
Is there a way to optimise this or a way to export the boards/forums to use in another forum application/plugin?
My current plugins that are active:
– AdSense Click-Fraud Monitoring Plugin
– BAW Login/Logout menu
– bbPress
– BulletProof Security
– CloudFlare
– W3 Total Cache
– WP User Avatar
For the rest it is using a slightly CSS edited version of the FLAT theme but besides that nothing else has been edited to wordpress itself.
Thanks in advance for any information in advance.
Ps: For more of a month I’m trying to post in this forum but after each thread I make it does not appear.
I’m building a website to discuss books and I created a FORUM page with 4 different forums, one for each book. I then created a topic for each chapter. However, when I open any forum, I can see ALL the topics I created listed (i.e. topics for chapters from a different book). How can I set it up so that topics are displayed ONLY in the forum where they belong? This error appears on all devices and OS.
I’m using WordPress 4.1, Buddypress 2.1.1, bbPress 2.5.4, and the theme is Catch Box. My site is http://www.bookbuk.com
Thanks!
Many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
Stephen, I too am getting errors while trying to import my phpbb forum into bbpress. I updated phpbb this morning to most recent version, no mods (v. 3.1.2). I just installed bbpress today in my WordPress site.
When I use the import tab under Tools > Forums, I enter my info, and here’s what I get:
*******************
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘forums.forum_topics’ in ‘field list’]

Please help, thanks!
sorry this support forum is manned by volunteers so we do this in our spare time and for free.
I presume you got this code from
http://www.digitspeak.com/blogging/wordpress/remove-bbpress-forum-profile-url-link/
when you say
the avatar reappears which i managed to get rid of – is there another workaround?
can you explain a bit more about
i managed to get rid of
what did you do?
It looks like my issue with the BCCs is being caused by the wpMandrill plugin I use to send emails through the Mandrill service
The Mandrill API previously couldn’t deal with BCC emails, it has been updated but it’s WP plugin hasn’t.
I tried this code offered by a user but it ended up sending two emails. One with no BCCs showing and one with the same BCCs showing problem. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-contribute-fixed-bcc
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar
there is a lots of plugins
Avatar allows you to create / edit custom avatars for your users right in the Admin Panel. Uses the same directory structure as BuddyPress,
Im new to this stuff so try not to lose me but Im running wordpress 4.1 with the sparkling theme and bbpress 2.5.4. My site is selfyelp.net. The registration emails and lost password emails are going through fine with gmail but with aol and hotmail I get nothing. My site and wordpress is hosted through godaddy so I guess I need to know what or where the problem is. Is it a bug or is it godaddy or is it the email providers? How can I fix it and is there any workaround? And yes I have checked the spam folders. Thanks (O and every other aspect of email is working fine through the site -just this prob)
Hello,
Our revision log for bbpress is turned on, but when I edit a subject in bbpress and add a reason for the modification, it does not show up in the log. It just says the subject was edited X amount of time ago by… and it stops there. So it doesn’t say by who or the reason why.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Wordpress 4.1
bbpress 2.5.4
Thanks!
maryse
The remove filter above I mentioned is not working for me, I even tried changing the priority 1 to 255.
The remove must have the same priority – see
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter
Not quite sure how this would be achieved.
In essence you either create a post or you create a topic.
A post is displayed using your theme’s layout, a forum topic using bbpress’s templates, so essentially they are incompatible unless you add extensive coding to your theme to recognise and display.
If it is not possible can you tell me how to use default taxonomy (categories) with forum? I want to store some topics in these default WordPress category.
Sorry I don’t understand this question – please explain further
