if you search the wordpress plugin repository for “avatar” or “bbpress avatar” you will find several options

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+avatar

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=avatar

this one looks good, and explicitly supports bbpress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-avatar/

this one works too

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/

you may also need to grant forum users upload permissions using something like User Role Editor

I’m using bbpress 2.2.4, wordpress 3.5.1

If I edit a (non-sticky) topic created by another user and change the forum that the topic should be in – the topic is saved properly but it is made sticky. This only occurs if I am editing the topic on the front end (using the admin links). Changing the forum from the back end (wp-admin) does not cause the topic to become sticky.

Any idea what’s happening here?

[pamneely]

Stephen, could you tell us which plugins have avatar support for bbPress? I haven’t been able to find any.

Thanks

[pamneely]

This is probably a dumb question, but I’ve searched the forums and the documentation and haven’t turned anything up. I’m learning bbPress and need to be able to add avatars to the forums I’m creating. Could someone please suggest a few WordPress plugins that are simple to set up?

Thanks very much for your help!

Was previously using 2.4.1, upgraded to 2.3RC1 (issue was happening in both versions).

All Plugin’s are disabled except for bbpress.

When a new forum post is posted, when a Keymaster level user “Trashes” the post, the post get’s removed and shows up Red.

If that same user is changed to a Moderator level and “Trashes” a post, the post get’s removed but then displays a 404 – Error (forums/topic/welcome/?view=all).

I’ve tried resetting Permalinks, etc., however this does not fix it.

Hi @lamarant,

This ‘anamoly’ nearly drover me bonkers, until I finally discovered the ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ (when activated) plugin lead to the ‘Subscribe’ & ‘“Notify me of follow-up replies via e-mail” button/links to disappearing in bbPress Topics. In my case I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.4 & bbPress 2.3 RC1 & WP 3.5.1

I’m not sure is this could be your issue, but it 100% was mine. I still need to dig-into the code to see what’s really causing the conflict, but (for-now) DE-activating the ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ does resolve this issue for me.

Hope that helps,

-Jeff

Dears,

I have configured many forums using bbpress (v 2.2.4 and wordpress 3.5.1) and WPML (v 2.7.1)
and I can reach topic pages http://fr.no-obsolescence.com/forums/forum/images-et-videos/
but replies not. I thing my website users would really appreciate to see their replies 😉

I am using the theme available here: http://organicthemes.com/demo/shop/
I guess perhaps one person with more experience than me could support me in such a fix?

I have tried to force the usage of loop-replies.php but it seems that while ( bbp_replies() ) always returns false :'( even if the blue rectangle just before is showing This topic contains 1 reply, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Thibaut de Sany 15 minutes ago. ??

With kindest regards,
Thibaut de Sany.

@mzaweb Thank you Daniel, but I don’t meet the requirements listed at the beginning, to understand the “AJAX_in_Plugins” :=) (I have read it anyway, why not?).
Isn’t there any other simpler way to make an exception, as adding an “exception” line in .htaccess, or something like this?
I thought that’s a common problem with a common solution as bbpress has been around for a while and protecting /wp-admin isn’t new either.
Thanks.

Hey guys, I just converted my wordpress to multisite and when I’m trying to add a new site I get the following errors:

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on? Seems to me like bbPress is the culprit and when I deactivate bbPress I’m able to add a new site, but with bbPress activated I get those errors..

[lasticko]

Thank you but I’m not looking to get my hands too dirty under the hood with CSS/PHP.

Arent there any drop-in solutions to just make them look cleaner / nice?
The default look/feel is very clunky.

Thanks again in advance

Hi,

After a few attempts, I got my forum converted from vBulletin to bbPress. But I forgot to click on the Username conversion, so everything came up as Anonymous. I deleted the conversion fully and started again. This time: I clicked on the “Attempt to import user accounts”.

Now this comes up:

`WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user.user_nicename’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(user.userid USING “utf8”) AS userid,convert(user.password USING “utf8”) AS password,convert(user.salt USING “utf8”) AS salt,convert(user.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(user.user_nicename USING “utf8”) AS user_nicename,convert(user.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(user.homepage USING “utf8”) AS homepage,convert(user.joindate USING “utf8”) AS joindate,convert(user.aim USING “utf8”) AS aim,convert(user.yahoo USING “utf8”) AS yahoo FROM user AS user LIMIT 0, 100`

If I continue and skip this step, the forum converts still but all the posts will be anonymous.

How do I fix?

[aero.roger77]

It would be awesome if we could fix this 😀

[serpini]

I got it, steps:

1.- Copy wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/page-templates/full-width.php to wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/bbpress.php
2.- Edit wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/bbpress.php to add style 100% like this:

` div id=”primary” class=”site-content” style=”width:100%” `

That’s all!

I am running the most recent version of WP (at the time of this posting, I believe it’s 3.5.1?), and a multi-site installation. I have two questions, and I apologize if they’ve been asked before. I’ve been looking but haven’t found an answer:

1) Can I install a BBPress theme separate from my primary wordpress theme? I have a heavily-modified version of conduit, but the theming of our forums doesn’t look great: http://www.twinfinite.net/forums/topic/first-topic/.

2) We have been trying to install the theme, but are having issues. I can’t figure out how to do it. It seems like the process is different based on the version, and none of them seem to work. I’ve created a “my-templates” folder in the BBPress root directory. I can’t find a dashboard for BBpress, and I can’t find anything on the settings page. I believe that at one point I saw a “BBpress themes” option (or something like that), and it linked me to http://www.twinfinite.net/wp-admin/themes.php?page=bbpress-theme-admin.php, which, despite me having both superadmin and keymaster roles, simply displayed:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

When I returned to wp-admin, the BBpress themes option had vanished, and I haven’t seen it since.

Frankly, I am stumped. I just want forums that look like normal forums would, rather than a wordpress post with a sidebar, etc.

Thank you for all your help!

Hello,

I just installed bbPress 2.2.4 version on a wordpress version 3.5.1, I wish you all the forum pages were full size without displaying the sidebar, I’ve searched the forum and the solution of copying the full-width page to bbpress.php I have not worked or have not done it correctly.

Would I could say how I can make the forum will be full size? and steps for a beginner.

I use the WordPress default theme Twenty Twelve.

Forum url: http://www.serpini.es/sqlrpt/forums/

[ovizii]

Anyone?

 

I just need to purge ALL traces of bbpress, please advise!

[honeys67]

Dear,
I had install bbpress forum on my site but there are some problem on new user register. the new users couldn’t receive any email after register on my site. and i can’t get the new user registration inform as well.
I think my settings have no problem for i had installed one on the other site successfully without any problems.
my site: silkmarketbeijing.com
thanks!
Honey

Again, thanks for writing that post. 🙂

I have a newer version of the ‘example’ converter that includes much greater inline documentation and ‘best practices’ based on all the other importers and it is now just a matter of updating the docs to match this and including it with a future release of bbPress.

We would be more than happy to include the Snitz Forums converter with bbPress. Just create a ticket and upload it to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Many thanks for taking the time to write this and share with the community. 🙂

I added a link to this post from https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/

[Stephen Edgar]

The bbPress theme/s you linked to are for the old bbPress 1.x.

If you are using bbPress 2.x plugin then bbPress will try to use as much of your default WordPress theme as it can. If you want to customize bbPress 2.x then follow the links from here to get started https://bbpress.org/themes/

Hello,

I downloaded the static-red theme from this page:
http://www.awesomestyles.com/bbpress-themes

and I’d like to use that with my bbpress installation but KEEP my existing WP theme (Hospitality) I’ve customized so much.

Is there a simple way to drop the static-red theme in place for bbpress to use?

Thanks in advance..

[inkrap]

HALLELUJAH! I have no idea why I hadn’t tried .bbpress #sidebar, but that was the magic combination. Thank you so much Lynq

[BerryReview]

Any chance a developer is working on a PM solution for BBPress. Its a real shame that there is nothing available. We finally made the jump and it seems like this is the main feature BBPress 2.0 is missing when compared to other forum systems. I love that we finally have built in email replies but private messaging is what really builds a community.

[John James Jacoby]

There were a few issues related to this that are fixed for bbPress 2.3. You may want to look into the release candidate, and see if it’s fixed these issues for you.

[dtommy79]

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress, and I’m using the default twentytwelwe theme. I created a page for the forum index, selected the full-width page template, but the sidebar won’t go away. How can I remove the sidebar?

Thanks
