well moderators can look at forums in the front end and then use the admin links to either sticky the topic , close the topic, spam the topic etc.
banning users permanently would require a different plugin to ban the ip address of the user ,search some security plugins in the wordpress.org plugin repository have this feature
banning users temporarily you can just go to users>all users search for the person your trying to ban for a short while then change their forum role to blocked. then when the temporary ban is done you can just switch back.
1. to get a full-width forums, you need to create a bbpress.php more information in this link
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
after you create a bbpress.php from your page.php just delete the sidebar code that should say like
<?php get_sidebar in the template.
2. You can follow this tutorial on this website to replace the voice count with a views count.
Adding Topics View Counter in BBPress
there are other ways to display views in bbpress also like by using this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-view-counts/
3. Are you talking about the layout of the reply author area on ip board where it shows an image based on user role and the total post count of the user??
images based on forum role i cant find a solution just yet , might post solution later . Its most likey just going to include alot of conditionals based on forum role.
total post count for users is easy, you can easily just use robins plugin

’d be grateful for some help.
I’ve recently set-up a wordpress site using version 4.0. The theme is twenty eleven (I’ve tried other themes as well). So far, I’ve haven’t added any content or plugins.
The only thing I’ve tried to add is bbpress (Version: 2.5.4).
After adding this plugin I get a “Fatal error: Out of memory”. I’ve contacted my hosting company and they’ve increased the memory limit to 256M by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); in wp-config.php. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed bbpress but still get the out of memory error.
I’d be grateful for any help in resolving this problem.
Many thanks,
Darren
i liked https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ before i went to another solution
im not sure if it has integration with bbpress or not though.
and this requires an account to their website.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress has bad support and i couldnt get the plugin to work well when i tried it.
you can also find some paid social login plugins in codecanyon , im for sure there is one that offers social login and has compatibility with bbpress. I think it cost like 28 dollars or something close to that.
for registration add a captcha plugin either of these examples should be fine.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/
to help fight spam some security plugins help , some offer some kind of firewall rules to block bots, and also a honey pot for a sites registration form.

Hi,
i found an error in your css file. I read this media query:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px), screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}
This rules does’nt work because it is semantically incorrect.
Normally the plugin works fine but if you try to minify your css file (I tested it with w3 total cache), the minify file generates an error and doesn’t work correctly.
Please, can you fix this ?
Thanks
Andrea
P.s.: I found this error on bbpress and buddypress wordpress plugins.
HI guys
I have just installed bb press (2.54) on my wordpress site ( 4.0) with Edu theme by smooththemes
http://www.amsn.com.au
I was not able to see the forum menu on my dashboard. After some trouble shooting I have isolated to a plugin clash with sttoolkit by smoothemes. When I disable this plugin everything seems to work fine.
see this screenshot
https://monosnap.com/image/qRMOVXqJUq0klVP2o6K9ElX2xn1G8x#
Any ideas about how to fix this ?
cheers
Brent
there are two reward type plugins that integrate with bbpress i know off the top of my head.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/
and maybe more.
But i mean if you really have something different and unique then make the plugin.
but hey if your just looking for plugins to develop for bbpress i wouldnt be mind if you fork this.
https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Post-Toolbar
this plugin just isnt structured well, it really slows down a site too, but has alot of good elements.
or combine some elements of this editor to give a responsive bbcode editor, i wouldnt mind at all.

Good day, I am running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress and would appreciate some assistance with getting my forum’s sub pages full width. I am using Elegant Themes’s Divi theme.
So I can choose to have the main Forum page full with by checking that in the page settins – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/ but as soon as you go to one of the forum’s sub pages it resizes it back to a page that has a sidebar – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/topic/ask-an-atheist/. I’ve read and tried a bunch of things without any luck. I am also not a css master, but I am willing to try anything.
Thank you for your time.

I just replied to the BuddyPress topic you posted…
Maybe try a ‘different’ disable email plugin is an option, I haven’t tried this but this one was recently updated and states it’s compatible with WordPress 4.0 https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-emails/
Hi,
bbPress V2.5.4
WordPress V4.0
http://www.angestforum.se
I’ve just created translations for bbPress and BuddyPress using PoEdit. The BuddyPress translation works fine. But the bbPress translation doesn’t change these words:
1. Number of topics, number of posts (in forums overview)
2. “Post Topic”-button
3. “Voices”, “Posts” for topics
Other things, like “Topic Title” and “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” etc. are however translated.
What is overriding my translation for these things? Any help is much appreciated. The language in wp-config is set to sv_SE (swedish).The translations are titled bbpress-sv_SE.po and .mo.
Try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
which I pretty much wrote following this and other requests for that sort of functionality
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.

New on bbPress, we’re close to 2015, i want to install the one and only best social Facebook login option, so visitors can become users simply by signing-up with the Facebook account. This might mean also that if one day I remove this plugin, everything is kept inside WordPress/Database…, no ?
Here is what I’ve found so far, order in downloads.
Thank you for helping me choose.
Waiting for your advice 🙂

Turns out that I was having an issue with a limit on the number of custom menu items. The limit of menu items in WordPress is 90. When I activated bbpress and tried to add my forums I had exceeded the limit of menu items and was therefore unable to add my forums to the site navigation. There is a fix for this.
Create a php.ini file and place it in in “wp-admin” folder then add:
Put the following in your php.ini file:
max_input_vars = 3000;
Hi Robin,
The issue is that the meta title displays the url when Yoast wordpress SEO is activated. I saw this issue only for the profile, search and tag pages of bbpress all the others pages look fine with the page name and site name.
Here is a print screen of meta titles of serveral pages :

Hey Stephen,
Up until earlier today when I adjusted forum settings I believe it would just say “PRIVATE: Forumname”. Now I see “PRIVATE: PRIVATE Forumname”. Not sure what I changed to make that start happen.
Is there a reason why you would want to say “PRIVATE: PRIVATE: Forumname”?
I added the code you provided to the bottom of functions.php and no wordpress page would load.
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8662354
I also tried saving ntwb_remove_protected_private_titles.php to my plugins directory with no luck. I guess I need a little more direction.
Thanks!
Hi this is also an issue for a forum I am an administrator for as well. Below is a copy of the email. I have changed the emails and organization name as this is a private forum but to give you an idea of the email that is received by the users when they subscribe to a topic and replies are made. This is a big problem for us as the email addresses should not be shared with other members. We are using WordPress to push the notifications, not another service.
Can anyone share a suggestion on how to have this fixed?

Is there a plugin that keeps an “Active Threads” list?
Is there a plugin to list in real time threads with new posts?
I saw that @mentioning is possible
Is it necessary to add “buddypress” features to a bbPress forum site?
Will the WordPress layout and colors automatically transfer to a new bbPress install making everything match right off the bat?
First impressions, I’m liking bbPress more than SimplePRess just because I can access the help forums and so some quality learning before having to spend any money. 🙂
Thanks,
Bart
Hi,
I have recently installed bbpress and I am using this theme – http://fthemes.com/onlinemagazine-free-wordpress-theme/ it is installed here -http://chill4uscarers.co.uk/ the theme works well for the front end , but on the forum as shown here http://chill4uscarers.co.uk/forumtest/ it doesn’t as it wants 2 sidebars and I only want to show one that is the bbpress sidebar with the widgets.
I have got installed bbPress WP Tweaks so I really want to know how to make the one of the forums php work with only one sidebar that is only the bbpress one.
Many thanks in advance.
Ross
