That’s the thing.
I go to wp-content/plugins/bbpress…
And there’s no “templates” file. So can’t really copy anything from templates as… it doesn’t exist.
Wow, I just found the solution for myself. Cookies didn’t matter… I cleared them many times and used different browsers too.
I noticed that everytime I logged in, it would redirect me to the login screen, showing me the fields, even though I had successfully logged in. I have been consistently anonymous on bbpress.org/forums and a couple other forum pages, plus many topic pages, every time I’ve logged in this way.
I tried bbpress.org/wp-login.php instead, and that’s working perfectly. No anonymity issues anymore! So I guess there is an issue on the custom login page at bbpress.org/login
I’m using 2.3.2 and this is my solution.
There’s a function in the theme files calling this, simply noting it out or deleting it prevents the call.
// bbp_single_topic_description();
content-single-topic.php
and
// bbp_single_topic_description( array( 'topic_id' => bbp_get_topic_id() ) );
form-topic.php
This makes more sense to me because why generate the HTML just to bloat your CSS file to hide it? Or why add more to your functions.php file when all you need to do is some basic theme work? (Although that was some clever hacking of the wordpress/bbpress hooks there mindyjoy :))
*Make sure to move all your theme files into your wordpress theme (wp-includes/themes/your_theme/buddypress/) so you don’t lose your work with an upgrade.
Not sure where you’re getting your info, but it’s not correct. 🙂
bbPress uses your existing WordPress theme, and allows you to customize the individual templates as you see fit. You can copy the template files you want to customize out of:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
and drop them in…
wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/bbpress/
where YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME is the name of the currently active theme on your site.
Then start editing them, and you should see your edits come through.
Try deleting your bbpress.org cookies. We did some moving around of the site, and I suppose it’s possible the old cookies are conflicting.
In bbPress’s default configuration, this is by design to support styling for widgets, which can exist outside of bbPress’s standard page views. You’ll need to write a custom plugin to dequeue bbPress’s CSS when ! is_bbpress().
Can someone tell me how to report a copyright infringement to Worldpress?
Hi All,
Sorry if this has already been covered, if so just point me in the right direction.
Basically, I theming my bbPress and it’s all going great, except I need to do some work on the template-tag.php files found in ‘includes/users’, ‘includes/topics’ etc… and I obviously don’t want anything to be overwritten by updates…
I already have the template-tags file working fine in my theme’s ‘includes/common’ folder, but just can seem to get the system to actually see that I’m using other folders.
Do I need to declare the folder structure somewhere? What is it that I’m missing…?
I’m using the latest live versions of bbPress and WP and the folder structure I’m using is:
themes >
mytheme > bbpress-functions.php
bbress > loads of very well named template php files
includes >
common > gets seen just fine…
users > nothing working from here.
topics > ditto…
Many thanks for any pushes in the right direction…

i dont think bbpress css file on its own would cause this sort of server load, try the P3 profiler plugin to determine what other plugins may be overloading your server –

I’ve been carefully examining my web access logs because my provider said my website is using too many resources – and even though I would say it is absolutely medium in size it uses about 50% of the resources on the shared hosting site.
I noticed that for EVERY page called from the website, whether or not is a forum page and whether or not it contains and bbpress plug-ins -especially not- includes a call to the bbpress style sheet. For example:
http://www.hippressurecooking.com/5-cant-miss-pressure-cooker-chicken-recipes/
GET /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.3.2 HTTP/1.1
Any way for me to block this call so that I don’t use-up unnecessary resources for my website and risk getting kicked off my shared server?
Thanks,

i am not affiliated w tehnik plugin in any way, nor am i selling anything, i am co-dev of PanoPress (which is totally free) but no connection to any of the plugins i mentioned here other than using them on my own sites
i am just trying to help out here as i had been beating my head against this same prob recently, i’ve seen lots of non-working solutions suggested in this forum, and the bbpress devs do not always have time for these issues 🙂
also, i want to encourage development and use of this plugin, and hopefully see better integration of restricting forums to a particular user role in future versions of bbpress, which is a critical missing feature for me

bbPress на русском (bbPress on Russian)
Please, if you want to get support in Russian, visit the official Russian support forum.

WP version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3.2
site: http://www.villainouslair.com/forums
When I attempt to purge the forum data via Tools > Forums > Reset Forums, the reset page seems to process, then refresh, but there is no error or success message, and the forum data is untouched. This is the case regardless of whether or not I check the “This process cannot be undone” box.
We’re also running bbPress reCaptcha v.1.1, if that might be an issue?
Bear with me. Very new to this.
I just installed bbpress 2.3.2 via the plugin directory in my wp site. Works fine from what I can tell.
I have a custom site and I want to make a few layout tweaks to my forum pages (eliminate sidebar, yadda, yadda). I am currently hosting my site locally using MAMP so I can blow things up with impunity. Don’t know if that matters, but I’m putting it out there.
Here’s the deal: I made a child directory on my theme and the many step-by-steps said I have to put it in my plugins > bbpress > themes folder.
I go there and SURPRISE! No themes folder.
Am I missing something?
make sure you have members and tehnik plugin installed and activated
see the Tehnik bbPress Permissions page for more info
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions/
use the content premissions pane (from members plugin) on the forum edit page to control which roles can access that forum
try the User Switching plugin to confirm other roles can see what they are supposed to see

Bump
What’s up with this issue folks? I’m using the “(bbPress) Recent Topics” Widget also for clarity.
Just to show the people who can code..
This is what I would like to do with a little bit of CSS and JS without adding my own <textarea> and BBcode buttons.

Real Pixels
The default toolbar buttons are positioned at the top of the <textarea> and with a little bit of JS I can hide it by default and let it pop-up when text inside the <textarea> is selected.
Right now I have to delete everything thats default and create my own <textarea> + BBcode buttons.
Just before the textarea and toolbar buttons WP or bbPress adds an stylesheet <link stylesheet .. blablabla.. > for styling the buttons and stuff like that.
How do I remove this ?
I want to style my own buttons inside the theme stylesheet not a custom-editor-buttons-stylesheet.css
I think it’s much better if bbPress gets it’s own toolbar , just like a comments-form instead of using the back-end stuff on the front-end.
this has been discussed several times recently on this site, see these topics –
Forum visible to specific role
which plugin can I integrate membership site into forum?
this is the specific plugin that (alongside members) alows restricting forums and child topics/replies to a specific WP user role
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions/
also look through the topic tags i added to this thread

Read it here..
bbpress and child theme
You need to follow the path inside the files until you find <?php bbp_freshness_link() ;?> inside all the bbPress templates files.
Files are located inside the bbpress folder.
Copy and paste the template files you would like to edit from the bbPress plugins folder to your theme folder.
The Forum ‘ home-page ‘ is known as an Archive template.
archive-forum.php
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / archive-forum.php
Copy it to your theme folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your_theme_name ] / here
screenshot! – Remember don’t Drag-/Drop it over but Copy-/Paste it.

Please ask your question at the BuddyPress forums. This is bbPress only.
https://buddypress.org/support/
You can’t really create a Child Theme for bbPress only.
But if you like to work with the Child Theme idea – I personally think it fails big time but some people really like it then just create a Child Theme if you would do the WP way.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
After that you simply add a folder called bbpress inside your Theme or Child Theme folder and copy-/paste the files over from your Plugins directory to your Theme or Child Theme directory.
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme template files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme folder
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / All those files are bbPress (forum) templates files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme/bbpress folder.

I Installed the latest WP then next-to-the-latest bbPress.
I imported my db from phpBB. There should be a Private forum available only to those I allow, and a Hidden forum with the same setup.
I can’t figure out how to hide these from all except those who have permission (Roles set via Members plugin).
Or, if they must show, can you recommend a password protection plugin? This way they need credetnials to get in.
