netweb, thanks for your reply. I had previously looked at the bbpress getting started page, but did go back again per your suggestion. Unfortunately, I am unable to apply anything past the installation. I did not install BuddyPress – do you have to install BuddyPress in order to get bbpress to work?
When I go to my WordPress dashboard “Pages/All Pages” there is no sign of any forum page – I suspect that this is probably closely related to my problem, which is that I don’t have any idea how to “connect” bbPress forum pages to my WordPress blog (e.g. for hyperlinks). I am assuming that the primary purpose of creating bbPress was to make it function effectively and somewhat seamlessly with WordPress – but I can’t find anything that tells me what the developers have in mind for that?
Thanks for your help and advice
bbPress does allow shortcodes for security reasons, you should look at something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/
To order your replies in reverse order add the following code to your themes functions.php file.

Bingo! as soon as you said “conflicting” I knew it was the wordbooker plugin. Wordbooker integrates wordpress with Facebook.
But that for sure has to be a bug. Is it bbpress bug or Wordbookers bug? I don’t want to compromise between those two but if I have to choose I choose to have a forum.
Try this and post the link back here:
Does this now include the forum description?

If you want further granular access you should use a plugin to control the access privs:

Have you had a look at BuddyPress Courseware?
It may have some of what you are trying to do already done, and a bit more 😉

For your second issue could you please create a ticket on trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ with as much detail as you can.
For the first issue does repairing the forums fix your problem?
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums
The best thing I can suggest is to create a ticket on trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Once/if/when the following plugin is updated to support bbPress 2.1x (it is currently broken) it should do what you are looking for:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/
That’s the only option I can suggest at the moment
It prevents users from flooding your site with posts and is ‘Throttle Time’ setting in your forums WordPress Dashboard -> Settings’ -> ‘Forums’
Also have a look at this thread for more info

Go to your WordPress dashboard -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Media’ and change ‘Maximum embed size’ width/height to suit your needs.
I think you may need to wait for the plugin to be updated to work with bbPress 2.1x

It does seem strange, could you create a ticket/bug report on Trac with ‘if you can’ detailed reproduction steps and some screenshots would probably also help so we can look further into this please.

I just installed bbPress to a single install of WordPress. I found the bbPress login widget. But how do I determine the register/lost password URI to set it up?
Can I just ask is bbPress compatible with WordPress 3.4.1 and Buddypress Version 1.6.1?
I’m having a nightmare installing bbpress, i’ve setup many forums before using software such as phpbb and even with all the file editing, database changes etc – it was never this difficult 🙁
I’ve followed the guides with various levels of success, sometimes I get ‘unauthorised to view this page’ sometimes I get no link to the forum page – sometimes I get a page with no forum topics.
So, just wondered if I’m wasting my time? lol
I know this is almost 7 months later, but i need some help.
Not seeing all forums created
Hi everybody, i use :
