I’m trying to convert my SMF database, but nothing is being imported (runs through each step, but nothing to import).
I’m using SMF 2.0.17, the most recent versions of bbPress and WordPress.
Can anyone advise how to pinpoint the problem? There were no errors listed.
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
or it is available as an option in
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form
Ah – I did not have that check box marked for comments needing approval. BUT I believe the problem I’ve been having is due to the Comment Moderation if it contains links! We use links a lot so this is likely the culprit.
Thanks joyridek9! After the recent bbpress and wordpress update I started experiencing this problem. Looks like some settings were reset. Mine were set to moderate if it contained two links or more. Set this number to 0 and poof, problem solved.
(It should be noted that I have a protected forum hidden with bbgroups. If you have a public facing forum, setting this to zero could increase spam posts so tread carefully.)
Shortcodes
Codex Home → bbPress Features → Shortcodes
Since Version 2.0 bbPress support so called Shortcodes. They have been introduced for creating macros to be used in the layout of your forum content on WordPress pages. To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.
To get the required numerical ID for $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id and $tag_id you will need to visit your /wp-admin/ section and either by editing the post or by hovering your mouse over the applicable forum/topic/reply/tag post type you will see a numeric ID for that post eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=47
Forums
[bbp-forum-index] – This will display your entire forum index.
[bbp-forum-form] – Display the ‘New Forum’ form.

Please i need your help : No one can sudgest me a good plugin that avoid any wordpress mention (including wordpress email, redirection after registration or set password default wordpress template) ?
Subforums are not listed.
The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.
A few more questions:
Using any caching plugins?
Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
Using a right-to-left language?
Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)
Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?
The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012
If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.
ok install this and put the code in the custom css section.

Hi lisabyrde, I went with MYBB software, as I was able to import all my old forum data via their plugin into that software. I haven’t heard anything further about BBpress
good luck with your decision. I am an ardent user of wordpress and ideally would like to have stayed close to their structure
I am looking for a way to change default adress (wordpress) for registration email . Is it possible ?
BbPress has over 300+ supported plug in with WordPress you can easily design your web site the way you like and making your forum unique I can tell you fact bbpress doesn’t have that’s full functionality but you can create your own custom plugins to work with it
@momomoko
bbp_get_template_part( ‘user’, ‘topics-created’ )
will use the template ‘user-topics-created.php’ – basically you put all the words together to make the file (that just how wordpress does it!)
These templates all sit in the same directory as the content-single-user.php file.
Hello everyone.
I am noticing weird behavior when user clicks on activation link in email.
Upon clicking user is sent to page with input field that contains random generated password and below that button that says “Reset Password”.
Now this is somewhat confusing because some users might think that there is no need to click that button and just copy the password and proceed to login link bellow.
After that password is not working and user must reset password and basically do activation process again.
Is this how default WordPress registration works?
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if your users have WordPress access (eg subscribers), then they will get the bbpress default access (or you can manually set this up).
you then set each forum as ‘private’ and it’s existence is then only seen by subscribers
Hi there,
I want my forum without registrated users, but a passwort protection. So I put a password protection on the site with my forum on it, but I does not seem to stick. Sometimes I have to put in the password, sometimes not. I read about that not working with forums, but is there a solution?
Thanks in advance

wordpress version: Version 5.4.1
bbPress version: Version 2.6.4
site: riptideio.com
theme: Salient with custom child theme
On our site, we have a “Partner Portal” page which is a restricted access page. Users are “subscribers” and they need to login to view the page contents. They do not register, they fill out a request for access form and we selectively hand out the credentials. We are looking to put a forum page nested on this Partner Portal (on the Partner Portal page, there would be a button that says “Forum” that would take them to a forum page). We only want this same group of users who have access to the Partner Portal to have access to the forum, and they can easily navigate to it once logged into the Partner Portal.
Is this possible? And would users need to re-login to the forum page when they navigate to it from the Partner Portal? Would we need to have a sidebar on the forum page with login widget?
Any help or comments about how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
ok, this version has an issue with last active
so until a formal fox is released..
bbp style pack
once activated go to

bbp style pack
once activated go to

Then in
dashboard>forums>edit forum in each forum you can put in the content part whatever you want to appear. in your case the same description for each forum, but you can have a different.
Finally to get this on the main forums list, create a page called ‘forums’, and put your description at the top of this. Then add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to this. bbpress will then use this as the main forums page.

and enable the Fix Threaded Replies Jump
I have enabled threaded replies for 3 levels; however, the replies are not indenting. I have seen a few topics on this forum regarding this and some suggest changing the CSS for bbp-threaded-replies. I looked at the source for my replies and I only see <div class=”bbp-reply-content”> which explains why updating the CSS doesn’t work. How can I get threaded replies to indent? I am using WordPress 5.4.1, BuddyPress 5.2.0 and the Enfold theme 4.7.4.
Thanks!
Yes, I am designing my own theme. But basic WordPress templates work the same way.
There is no longer a <title></title> tag in header.php. Instead, functions.php has an add_theme_support ('title-tag');.
If I remove this and write the title tag back to header.php, it will display the user’s name in the title bar.

Thank you for the reply. I followed along with this article to set the forum up but I did get lost on step 8, ss I am not familiar with themes and templates in WordPress. Where do I go in WordPress to access and edit the “root theme” and “page templates in the root of the directory”
“So once you know which page template file you need, copy this and rename the copy to bbpress.php
Place this file in the root of your theme ie wp-content/themes/%mytheme%/bbpress.php where %mytheme% is your theme’s name.”
I need a more dumbed down step by step walk though of this ^, ie where to go exactly in WordPress.
Thanks!
