Hey JJJ,
Thanks for the response. So, going to Tools > Forums, definitely did the trick by applying my default forum role “Participant” through to all current users.
However, it seems the issue is that when new users are created (outside of bbPress’s registration), they do not have a forum role assigned automatically. This I guess was just never an issue previously, as bbPress would use the default forum role when one did not exist. Is this no longer the case?
Is this the expected behavior? Or should I be figuring out how to modify my signup process to ensure this Forum Role gets assigned to the new user?
Hey Jason! You could try resetting the user roles, in: Tools > Forums
You can also try this neat little tool I wrote, to check out what capabilities specific users have in your forums: https://github.com/johnjamesjacoby/bbp-capabilities/
What you’re experiencing sounds like bbPress isn’t sure what to do with the role those users have, or doesn’t like the capabilities those users have saved in the DB. Other users have had similar issues, and have fixed them by remapping the roles with the above tool(s).
As the author of the bbPress Moderation plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/) I am unable to continue maintaining the plugin or add any new features. I no longer use bbPress or the plugin.
If anyone would like to take over maintenance/ownership of the plugin, then please let me know and I’ll add access to the WordPress repo.
Thanks.
Ian.
If anyone cares the proper solution is just to copy loop-single-topic.php into your themes dir and edit till your hearts content. The only semi-tricky thing is that it must be in a /bbpress/ dir within your theme. For example:
wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php
@tecca Awesome! Duh! I had tried that but without the /bbpress/ dir. Thanks for the help.

I’m currently running v2.0. I see from the chnagelog that that latest version (bbPress 2.3.2) is safe for upgrade to any 2.x version.
However, would people recommend going straight from version 2.0 to 2.3.2 or go to an intermediate version first and then on – or use an older version for stability?
Thanks
@prikid: the file is includes/extend/buddypress/group.php in your bbPress plugin directory.
Hey @jwondrusch
This function actually removed all forum topics and replies for the front end view of my bbPress Wishlist site.
Any ideas?
Hi
I have just set up BBpress on one of our websites (not live yet) and everything seems to be working ok except for one little problem:
I have marked the forum private as I would prefer people to register first rather than bombard the forum with spam etc. But this generates a new problem as the private forum is automatically given a prefix of “Private:”
Please advise how I can removed the said prefix? I saw a thread for a bit of code to change this but it doesn;’t say which page it needs to be added to:
Please any help is gratefully received.
Thanks
I’ve got a couple thousand users that I’ve signed up as WordPress subscribers using Gravity Forms User Registration addon. So none of these users have an actual “Forum Role” assigned.
I’ve been using bbPress 2.2.4 for awhile now and after updating to bbPress 2.3.4, any of these users trying to view a forum get the 404 error page. I can fix the issue for an individual user by manually giving them a “Participant” Forum Role. Or if I put my site back to bbPress 2.2.4, forums come back for everyone.
Also, what’s interesting is that forums come up fine if a user isn’t logged in at all. But after they login, 404 errors.
Is this some sort of bug in the updated version, or did something change in this regard I should be aware of?

And I’m not sure if this is relevant, but this is on a multisite network using Multisite User Management plugin.
thanks, but meta description not working since it will insert embed code and image code to header if the first brand of the post have markup code. thats an unsatisfactory thing ryt?

Hi – I’m having the same problem on a fresh install using Headway Themes: public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 308
I created a new parent so that group forums aren’t added to the Forum Root.
This is using bbPress 2.3.2, Buddypress 1.8, Headway 3.5.5 and WordPress 3.5.2.
Thanks.
That’s how you should change it — except copy that file and put it into your theme’s directory:
wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress
We are considering BBPress to power discussions on our high traffic website. The site also runs WP and we’ve had our share of scalability issues as we’ve grown. Searching the forums here I was terrified to read about known issues with slow query times and with private forums.
Can anyone confirm that these problems have been fixed with the latest version? is BBPress really scalable?
Our traffic / setup info:
– over 150k registered users
– over 1M unique visitors per month
– running latest version of WP v3.5.2
– have APC and Memcache installed on Apache
– use W3TC
– use HyperDB
@dani-girl, I got it to work! Whew!
I did a lot of different things, including installing an older version of bbPress, but I don’t know if that matters. Actually, it probably does, because I was then able to see the forums on the backend again.
What did seem to make a difference was downloading the Members Plugin and changing the roles for Administrator. A bunch of them were not checked, including the role of a Participant. I checked everything and was able to post again.

I hope that it doesn’t do this again. A major pain!
I want to increase the size of an avatar on a forums landing page. I could just go into loop-single-topic.php and change this line:
<?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?>
But I’d rather not edit core files. I’m having troubles making this change in my functions.php with apply_filter. Wondering if anyone can help me out here.
In form-reply.php after the line:
<div class="bbp-template-notice"><p><?php _e( 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p></div>
I inserted <?php else : ?><div class="bbp-template-notice"><p><?php _e( 'PLEASE NOTE: Your post will be sent to AWAITING MODERATION folder, will be posted if approved!', 'bbpress' ); ?></p></div>
Which is not so good because I am changing the core file. Is there a better way to do this?
Hello, just download bbpress for the first time. I believe it is version 2.0. While the bbpress works great with theme, I’d like have the topics be a big more defined. I was doing some reading about bbpress and wondered is someone can explain the difference in a Skin and Theme? Or what is the css I can make changes too?
Thanks
Hi,
I have just installed bbpress moderation plug-in, but my question is not about the moderation plug-in, it is about putting a default text into the reply field, so that the users can read before posting. This is because currently bbpress moderation plug-in does not notify the user that the reply/post is held for moderation. So the user posts something in the forum, but nothing happens, there is no message saying that user’s message is awaiting moderation. The plug in author was asked about this 8 months ago, and he replied that it would be difficult to do something about this, and apparently the color of the reply is yellow, hinting that the reply is held for moderation. But there is no way of knowing this. So I decided to put the default text into the reply field so that the user can read before posting. I don’t know how to do this, I am quite new to bbpress.
I see the Group Extension in BBPress checks to see if the BBP_Forums_Group_Extension class is already defined, but I cannot figure out which action I need to hook into so that my custom BBP_Forums_Group_Extension is used instead of the default BBPress Group Extension.
Please help!
Hey guys –
The page load times were due to a couple slow plug ins which I was able to identify with the P3 Plug In Profiler and remove. Load time is now sub 1.5s per page (once you load the heavy banners – I need to reduce the size on those but I haven’t found the time yet since they are site-wide and it will take me a while to reconfigure everything).
Thanks for the feedback. I still haven’t been able to make BuddyPress play nice but bbPress is at last fully functional with Pinboard.

wow just wrote long reply press post and all is gone??
came down to that you can mail me at seedism@gmail.com and i will send code to thank you for your reply.
I am not yet posting it here cause I want to use it for a theme i am trying to create.
preview here:
P.H.
The two examples you gave are close, but do not actually show what I need, this link is more like what I mean.
But, they did make me realize that the desired hierarchy can be achieved with a combination of css and selecting the right category/forum/topic order, and that the existing three levels (categories/forums/topics) is one too little.
This is what I think is a solution.
1.Create/give parent Categories a name to display as title in a new category header, remove all other data through css from the header, like the “topics” and “freshness” text since this needs to be echoed only in the next level of categories.
2.Create categories in parent category and change functions and css so they show as a list under each other and include topics and hierarchy text.
3.create another level of categories to act as main forums, here we include the freshness-links and topic count.
4.Topics/threads are created inside the fourth level.
5.remove the original bb-header to allow the first level categories to take over this function.
I think this makes sense to me, will have to try tomorrow if this works.
I can not yet make my solution of the freshness-topic-title public since I am working on a theme with this function included, I can not send private messages on the bbpress forum else I would have pm’ed you it as appreciation for your reply.
You can send me a mail and I will send you the code but please keep it to yourself.

Here is a link to a live demo, this is a work in progress and site is not close to finished but you can get an idea of what I did.

At the moment, the only way to get a hierarchy is to do it with template edits. I haven’t gotten there since I’m working on WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress all at once, so I can’t help you out there. There is a trac about it here, though: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958
Looks like it’s coming in bbPress 2.5, if there’s time.
How did you go about getting the title for the freshness link? I was actually going to do that last night, but I haven’t gotten around to it — so a quick heads up there would be awesome.
Oh, and a couple of examples of bbPress forums I’ve seen with a hierarchy (in case you’d like to see it live):
