Trying to reproduce your issue and I cannot reproduce it accurately, if I search for a password protected topic I actually see both the topic and the reply in the search results, you should also see both.
I presume you are creating these (or protecting them after the fact) in the backend?
(/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic), what I assume should be the case is that if you are manually protecting the topic you should manually protect the replies (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply) also.
In short bbPress doesn’t support password protected forums, topics & replies officially, yet. There is ‘some’ support in the backend and partially in some of the templates but we haven’t got ‘all of it’ in bbPress yet.
You will also have issues when browsing the topics via eg http://example.com/topics/ and not see the actual topics list. There are probably a few more places where this will break also.
Create a ticket on trac to remind us to look at this for a future bbPress release.
(It will also act as a subtle reminder to keep it in mind whilst other code is written)

I have installed the BBpress plugin so I can incorportae this into my wordpress.
But I had to do a mingle import which has worked.
But now I am left with the following url:
www .mywebsite .com/forums/forum/myforumname
I have used this to make my main page :
[bbp-forum-index] on the page /forum
But I really want to change the rest to /forum/forumname and not /forums/forum/forumname
Can this now be changed and how?
And also by using [bbp-forum-index] does it effect seo as no content is on that landing page?
many thanks
Jesusismygrace,
I am NOT a programmer, just an avid WordPress user. The last theme that I used was the popular Customizr that is still based upon Bootstrap 2. I couldn’t get bbPress to work with it properly.
I switched to Ward Pro https://themes.bavotasan.com/2013/ward-pro/ because it is based upon Bootstrap 3, and thought I would have better luck. Not necessarily so.
I am still thinking (but not sure) that bbPress has to be displayed as Pages in a WordPress theme. If that is done, then some themes will allow the user to add sidebars to display sign-in features for visitors. What I don’t get is that bbPress opens a window for each forum, but the WordPress Admin window doesn’t show it as a Page that can be edited ?!
I don’t quite get it, but I’m not a programmer…just a user.
To just change the text you can use a function.
It is a good idea to create a child theme of Twenty Eleven first so that you can use automatic updates without losing your work (there are instructions on how to create a Child Theme on the WordPress codex).
In your child theme folder, create a functions.php file and add this function: http://pastebin.com/CBaZjNCq
I’m working on a private forum. I was wondering if it’s possible to have a different set of links on the navigation menu bar on the forum pages than on the wordpress pages? Alternatively it could be that the menu bar on all pages change when the user is logged in.
Hi guys, 😀
Thanks for all the incredible work you do on BBPress!
I’m using WordPress 3.6.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1 and BBPress 2.4.1
The page titles for wordpress and buddypress have been fixed.
However, BBPress has completely stopped interacting with Buddypress. By this I mean no new topics, posts, mentions or any action made by my members in BBPress are showing in their profile activity or in the ‘Notifications’ section of the WP admin bar.
I’ve also added this code to a base ‘Forum’ page:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/form', 'topic' ); ?>
And in the topic section the ‘Forum’ select field has ‘No forum’ as the default selection. Rather than taking the first forum as the default as in BBPress 2.3.2.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for reply!
Unfortunatly I cannot find the settings that you are refering to. Below settings, bbpress the possibilities look like this:
“Allow users to mark topics as favorites
Fancy Editor Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies
Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies.”
There are nothing that looks even close to what you are refering to. Where can I find them? I’m running bbpress Version 2.1.
I did run the repair tool but with no look. There is no botton available to create a new thread. Must be something simple I’m missing here.
Very thankful for any input.

Martin

Still didn’t work for me, and I’ve had trouble with bbpress on other sites, so I’ve ditched it and gone with:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/forum-server/
When i log in wordpress admin as an administrator I can see Forum, Topic and Replies Menus on the sidebar but when I log in as an Editor I cant see and access them.I want the Editor role to be able to add forum, topics etc ect.Can I do this?If yes how?Thank you.
@mdroca You should paste that code into your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s a guide on how to do that safely: http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/how-to-safely-add-php-code-to-wordpress/
Also, for others wanting to hide bbPress breadcrumbs, this code is a bit more compact but does the same job:
add_filter('bbp_no_breadcrumb', function($arg) { return true; } );
I’m using wordpress 3.6.1 and bbpress plugin..
My issue is..no user as well as keymaster not able to send reply from front end site.
please help me to sort out this problem
Thanks for the reply Stephen. Am I correct in assuming that posting to bbPress is just like creating any WordPress custom post?
And if so, could I make my own post submission form using Gravity Forms, or are there hooks that need to be used to get it to post correctly?
Changing bbPress core is not the best idea, let alone the actual login process, most likely your issue will be because bbPress core is now not correctly passing this process to WordPress.
Hi all.
I am using bbpress fist time.
I have configured the login widget with links to my “lost password” & “registr” page i have created with shortcodes: [bbp-register] , [bbp-lost-pass].
I have also created an page with shortcode: [bbp-login] which then i have changed the redirect link from wp-login to my own page link of the shortcode for login. The change i have done in bbpress/includes/common/template.php around line 1154.
Now my issue is that after i run a test register (from my page created with the shortcode) nothing happens. I get redirected to my custom login page. But i get no email or my test user does not show up in “Users” in my WP backend.
I have following plugins installed:
Advanced Custom Fields
bbPress – Report Content
bbPress Notices
bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
bbpress Simple Advert Units
bbPress Users Stats
Better WP Security
Crumina Menu Customizer
Facebook
Google Fonts WordPress
Math Captcha
Page Builder by SiteOrigin
WPBakery Visual Composer
WP Maintenance Mode
Hope someone can help me on this issue. 🙂
I’m using wordpress version 3.6.1
bbpress version 2.4.1
i’m not using buddypress.My question is that I cant send reply to any topic from bbpress..
That sounds like a performance issue indeed having a dropbox with ‘all’ those topics, I just tried it here on bbpress.org and it isn’t an issue, presumably this is due to the difference in host setups. 😉
If you can create a ticket in Trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ we can look at making some performance improvements, what exactly can be done in what timeframe I do not know.
Can you bump your PHP Memory on your web host from 64MB -> 128MB until you get all your merges complete is propably the only quick fix I can think of off the top of my head right now.
That shouldn’t be an issue and as you are also seeing this for WordPress Blog posts I would expect it is either your browser, try another (Firefox, Chrome etc) and also clear the browsers cache though due to issues previously mentioned in this topic most likely an issue with your web host sadly.
Just to be safe before contacting your web host change your WordPress theme, try switching to Twenty Eleven/Twelve/Thirteen and see if the issues still persists.
Also I presume you ran the bbPress ‘Repair Tools’ after the import:
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Stephen, one more question. I’m not sure if this is bbPress-related or WordPress’ fault or just my computer, but I’m getting a lot of “blank” pages whenever I try to access a blog post or forum topic and I have to reload before it shows up. Is this a known issue?

Most likely you have downloaded the 2.4.x branch as noted above as it is at 0% as there are translations waiting for approval.
Download the .po & .mo from the /dev branch
Rename and upload both bbpress-nl.po & bbpress-nl.mo to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

I am using WordPress: 3.6.1
I am using bbPress: 2.4
When i try to “Activate” bbPress it errors throwing
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes)
The error happens on all Admin pages, The bytes vary from page-to-page. I can’t figure this out! I posted in the “Installation” forum but had no help.
Hope someone can answer me fast! Thanks.
If a user makes a nice forum post I would like to be able to choose to post this single topic into a WP post/blog of categoryX. If I see another nice forum post then I would like to be able to choose to post this single topic to the same, or perhaps a different WP post/blog under categoryY. All video/images etc should be presented in WordPress as it would appear in the forum.
I’d like to see the topic content appearing as an article rather than a forum topic: No reply window shown even if logged in, instead show ‘number-of-replies’. No avatar, just a short comment ‘posted-by-xxx’. The topic title and ‘number-of-replies’ links the user to the respective forum topic in the main forum view.
————-
I was thinking this might be possible using shortcodes. e.g. create a new shortcode based on ‘bbp-single-topic’ (perhaps called ‘bbp-single-topic-post2blog’). Then add a drop-down-list beside each forum topic only visible for admins. The drop-down-list includes all WP posts/blogs. After selecting a WP post from the drop-down-list the shortcode and respective topic-ID gets added to the bottom of the WP post content.
What do you think? I have quite a clear picture on how this should work.
If this is possible I would be happy to test it.
Hi,
I already bought the theme for WordPress and i dont like the stayl of bbPress. I thought that the special theme forbbPress. Now i have some problems with CSS. I do not know how to adjust.If i made that change in CSS it would change all everywhere in web site not only bbPress page, unless i use !important selector. I’m not sure hot to do thet… I was looking som tutorials but still…
Specifics on CSS Specificity
When Using !important is The Right Choice
Both buddypress and bbpress installed…
Setting>Forums>Forum User Settings>Auto Role – set to participant
Settings>buddypress>settings>Profile Settings – Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing
After someone registers they are registered with – Site Role – subscriber and no forum role is designated.
Mr. Fox
WordPress themes are what you use with bbPress v2.x plugin
