Ok, I have BBPress working fairly well with one exception. I’m using WordPress Access Control and WP-Members to limit user access. My website is a completely closed, member-only site for my employee group. However, the BB Press forums appear on the main menu to unregistered visitors, unlike everything else that remains invisible until I validate them. How do I get BB Press to remain hidden until my users get bumped p in status?
Is there a way to have BB Press totally accessed via a page, so that I can control the page the same way I control other pages?
On my home page which is straight html/css, I would like to pull the latest discussions, about 3 entries, from my bbpress page. How would I do this so it would automically update on my home page as new posts occur?
You can use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-data-transporter/ to move SEO settings around from plugin to plugin, this is what I would recommend to use.
In theory all SEO functions should work in bbPress *except* the page title because bbPress filters that.
Two other things to try:
Turn on WP_DEBUG in yout wp-config.php (https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG)
Change to TwentyTen/TwentlyEleven to eliminate any issues that are with your theme.
You would use add_filter. Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter
You can see how the title is constructed if you look at bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php starting around like 2026 or so. Look for function bbp_title().
You would need to post that in the support forum for that plugin, which is here
https://wordpress.org/tags/bbpress-latest-discussion?forum_id=10
Unfortunately, according to https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-latest-discussion-dropping-all-bbld-support-and-development it seems the plugin is no longer supported.
I would suggest trying to find a different one to use, that is actively being maintained.
Actually I don’t see any classes in place for this, but I think its a good idea.

I have found that this plugin imports users AND imports topics, but doesn’t make the connection. So basically it imports users twice – once from user table and another time as authors of something (or nothing).
The usernames shown as post authors have imported_ prefixed to them.
So we have
username, and
imported_username
So I tried deleting imported_username using bbpress function of assigning all its topics/replies to username. The operation was successful and now I see username as author of those topics/replies, but one problem lingers: I still don’t see any topics/replies by username if I go to its profile page.
I can’t go the opposite way and delete username and then change imported_username to username as WordPress doesn’t allow changing usernames.
P.S. I imported from phpBB 3.0.9
I’m using this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
just uncheck “edit_topics” checkbox for selected role, in my case “Subscriber” and they can’t edit or update it.

@JJJ: Which version are you trying?
I am using the latest version of WordPress 3.3.1
I have tried both bbPress 2.0 and 2.0.2
I installed bbConverter through WP’s admin panel so the plugin version is 1.3
When I click Activate immediately upon installation, I get
The plugin does not have a valid header.
Hi,
Good day to all community,
I am starting up a site, and I am setting up the BBPress Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error
“It Seem There Is Something Wrong With BBLD Configuration, Please Check It.”
What should I set?
Thanks,

I have just set up an WordPress installation with bbpres 2.0. When someone registers and then writes in the forum their full name shows instead of the username. How do you do to make the username to be the deafault name to be used in the forum?
There is an easier way assuming you want to install the plugin version (2.x).
Login to your WordPress site. Go to Plugins > Add New/
Search for “bbPress”. Click install. Done.
I had the same problem too. What I did was I did not copy the theme I had in my wordpress thus I created a new one on bbpress to avoid conflict.
Gulf coast claims
I have a strange phenomenon occurring in my BBPress install (2.02) (WordPress 3.31).
It seems every few weeks my topic published dates and owners get reset to a specific date and the owners all get reset to one specific user throwing everything out of line. I can’t seem to pinpoint when the exact time, or what is causing it, but it is not related to new plugin installs or the like, everything is frozen at their specific version as is. I first noticed this in December and it has happened every few weeks. Any ideas on this?
jjj is the primary/lead developer for bbPress so he might be able to give you a more specific answer.
Right now there are only 3 remaning tickets for 2.1 (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=2.1) so my guess would be sooner than later.
Do you have an approximate ETA when 2.1 will come out of beta and be officially released as a plugin?
There is no reason a user has to access the admin as the profiles can all be edited though front end.
This plugin will also help https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/
There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin – this will be the latest development version.
Just keep in mind, while 2.1 is general stable, it’s still beta so make a backup of things first!
I’m really wanting to move to 2.1, is there a way to upgrade my WordPress plugin of bbPress to that version?
I would also like to know how I can migrate my forum from localhost over to my wordpress site. It’s the 2.02 plugin version of BBPress, and it only has a few categories and topics, but I need to know this information for a presentation I am giving in my class in a few weeks.
As for the themes, I have a heavily modified wordpress theme now, and I can see how to edit the bbpress files manually, but i will try to do it using the showcase at the site above… if it’s possible.
Ok, I think I ran into a snag.
My WordPress/BuddyPress site is HEAVILY modded with plugins. I use a RocketTheme theme that runs off of the Gantry Framework along with Gantry-BuddyPress (which allows BuddyPress to be compatible with the RocketTheme and Gantry Framework.)
The bbPress plugin worked, but only partially. The Forum page set up by bbPress is visible but instead of seeing the “directory” of forums it shows:
Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion SO? what now? 1 1 26 mins Admin
It’s all just plain text with no links. But, the forum I made for General Discussion is viewable when I go to the forum page it made.
For reference, here are the demo page links:
http://bp.daevas.com/forums/
http://bp.daevas.com/forums/discussion/na-general-discussion/
I still have to edit the .css to match the theme design, but I wanted to find out what was wrong with the default forums page and why it wasn’t showing up correctly.
Thanks and hope you can help.
Hello all,
This is my first time here. My bbpress install went fine on a wordpress site thats exists for a while now. I was able to log in to …/bb-admin and edit options.
Next, I changed the cookies as described in the process to match those of wordpress.
I saved the changes & got logged out.
Now I am unable to log in to …/bb-admin and it says “admin” is not a user.
Appreciate any help,
S Ram
Unfortunately I don’t have one.
Judging by all the problems listed on https://wordpress.org/tags/network-publisher?forum_id=10 I would say this plugin is not coded well or up to standards. In fact I would avoid using it all together.
If you find a plugin that is done properly it should likely work with out any issues.
