I’m hoping a Preview button could be added next since HTML editor is now the default.
And now I had the same problem again, this time it was WP Slimstat that was incompatible and not allowing me to post/reply. BUT I had this plugin running on this site for years, yesterday I had to deactivate-reactivate all plugins to solve a problem, so maybe, if I activate these plugins BEFORE bbpress things might work out?
Again, reading twice my post looks something rude, I didn’t mean that, I wanteded to confirm my confidence to bbPress 🙂 Posting our tries to fix/turnaround the problem is a proven love to bbPress.
Hi John, sorry but I don’t agree with your statement: if I only update one plugin in a “everything is fine” wp environment and after the update “something is broken”, it’s quite easy to think by cause-effect considering the only perfomed change as the cause of the problem.
I do also have “All in one SEO pack” installed, but I did’t update/change that, so thank you everyone else to point on common element which may be in conflict with bbPress.
No idea what I did, but under the standard twenty-twelve WP theme, bbpress was up and running perfectly, showing all forum topics, and if you went into a topic, all topic replies on one page (one page or more, depending on what I set in the admin panel for number of replies per page…).
Trying out different themes, and at the same time altered some “Pages” in the WP admin side. Now, when I get to a forum topic, it only displays the original topic post – no replies. And there are no links to view any of the replies…
Maddeningly frustrating, if only because I have no idea what flip I switched to change bbpress’s function this way.
PLEASE HELP!
That’s annoying, but a great example of how everyone can be confident it’s a bbPress release causing problems, when another plugin added at the same time is causing a conflict.
We’re all volunteers. If we don’t help you at midnight on a Friday, it’s because we’re probably out enjoying the weekend, taking a break, or traveling 500 miles away to talk to hundreds of people about the software.
I guess our ideas of what makes great support are different, and that’s okay, but topics like these don’t do anyone any good.
Thanks for feedback.
That article is out of date and is no longer correct for the newly released 2.3.x.
With current version of bbPress, you only files that need to be in your theme are the files you plan on changing.
For example if you want to tweak the CSS, then you would copy the bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css to [your-theme-directory]/css/bbpress.css and bbPress will automatically use your version instead.
This goes for almost all the bbPress template files. For example, let’s sayo you want to edit the bbPress search page. You would copy bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php to [your-theme-directory]/bbpress/content-search.php.
The only time you would really need to copy and create the entire bbPress template would be if you need it to be theme independent, eg distribute it.
Hopefully that makes some sense 🙂
Hello and thank you for the first time that you are helping me and for your Antwort.Ich want to install bbPress 1.2, because I want to test it as a stand-alone forum software. I have problems with the bbPress WordPress plugin and so I wanted to try the forum installation.
I’m trying to follow this tutorial to create a child theme, but I’m having trouble on Step 6, where it asks me to copy the default theme from wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten.
There is no bbp-themes folder anywhere in the bbpress directory. The closest thing I found to a themes folder is the templates folder, which does contain some default styling. Could someone please explain to me how I can make Step 6 work? Or could you perhaps link me to an up-to-date tutorial?
Thanks!
I can’t help because I’m not familiar with the bbPress pre-2.x releases, but I must ask, is there a reason you want to use the stand alone version over 2.x?

Who could help me? Thanks in advance!
If you’re interesting in bbPress you’ll want to go the WP.org route 🙂
I’d try contacting the developer, Yoast, and see if the can add a setting to disable the WP SEO plugins if bbPress is detected (is_bbpress()), which would allow you bbPress to use its own breadcrumbs on bbPress pages and use WPSEO breadcrumbs on all other areas of the site.
Alternative he could also make his plugin disable the bbPress breadcrumbs all together.
Take a peak into this thread. Try the fix that jjj mentioned and see if that helps.
You’ll likely see a plugin popup in the WordPress.org repo soon that will prevent the need to deal with any code directly.
Also, when I go to dashboard “home” and try to press the forum button I get an error that says Cheatin’ uh?
I am not using any BBPress or membership based plugins outside of BBpress moderation
Can you let us know what plugins you are running? Are you running any membership based plugins such as WistList Members?
The info below does not address the OPs question for performance, but rather is an answer to the questions regarding emails being sent out all together.
This does happen unfortuantly and it’s usually do to the server setup. We see this a lot with shared hosting.
The WordPress function that handles email, wp_mail() (more info here), uses the PHP mail function to send it’s emails (bbPress uses this as well). Many hosting environments have a throttle on how many emails can be sent using their SMTP servers, which are used by default.
The solution is to use a different SMTP server/service to send out the emails and not rely on the default one hosting provider’s server uses.
The first thing you will want to do is install one of the many SMTP plugins that are available on the WordPress.org plugin repository. I’ve used WP SMTP before without any issues.
After that’s installed you’ll want to configure that plugin to use your new SMTP service.
Sometimes you can ask your host for this information and by just using their SMTP service through the plugin will fix the issue. Other times it doesn’t, which means you’ll need a new SMTP service all together.
There are a ton of great paid SMTP services available, most should be suitable. SendGrid seems to be a popular one, which gives you 40,000 emails/month for $10.
It’s not ideal that emails don’t always “just work” out of the box, however it almost always boils down to the web host. Especially when some emails send out fine but others don’t go through.
I am very new to bbpress and am working on editing a new to me website. When I updated to the latest version of BBpress the link to add topics(forums) on the left menu area on the dashboard dissapeared…I checked support forums and “saved” the permalinks and deactivated and reactivated BBpress, but still no luck. Any suggestions? Please keep the explanation simple. I am running a customized genesis site.
I’m using the latest WP and bbPress 2.3.1.
bbPress seems like it will work for our veterinary organization’s site. The only thing missing is the ability to add a group of users to a forum… We’re using s2Member. For most forums, we have them restricted based on s2Member level and this is working fine. But for a couple of forums, we need to restrict them based on a smaller group of members, not an entire s2Member level.
For example, we have a Board of Directors s2Member level, and a bbPress forum for this. But in the forum, we only want to include a subset of the BOD members, not *all* of them.
Is there a way to add individual users to a forum, or to create a group that’s not all-inclusive of an entire role?
Because no one can help me? Thanks in advance!
Hey guys –
I’m using the Pinboard theme as a base in a WordPress Multi-site. This has been complicated but I’m getting it together.
The BBPress plugin loads and works perfectly except for one issue: it is breaking in four-column layout on the top level (i.e. the “Forum” page). Within the sub-forums and within the topics themselves it lays out fine.
Here’s the messed up layout:

But then if you navigate down a level, to a forum, it lays out fine:
http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/podcasts/boards/board/fly-fishing/
So it’s obviously just a settings issue with the top-level forum. Is there a place I can go swap over to like a four-colun-layout.php or something like that for that top level? I’m comfortable using the editor to customize the site.
Thanks!
Zach Matthews
Hello,
I want Forums only for “groups joined”.
How to set bbPress enabled only for groups?
Thanks
