I have not tried this plugin and it hasn’t been updated in a while but it states it supports the bbPress plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-html-sitemap/
I did have a “forums” in trash, I deleted it but it’s still linking to /forum-2. Any idea how to “refresh it”?
Ah I get the – being added, I was more concerned with the forums/forum/ part of the link, instead of just /forums/.
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for the tip. You are right, after disabling all but the bbPress and Buddrpress plugin I can view the Forums page. I shall re-enable them one by one to weed out the culprit.
Muchos gracias.
Try disabling all your other plugins as it looks like one of them is causing a conflict and get bbPress doing what you want it to do with correct menu items etc then enable your plugins one by one and check to see if bbPress works as it was to find the conflicting plugin.
That seemed to have worked ok, I no longer get the .htaccess error.
That will indeed help now that you have a .htaccess file for permalinks and the most common permalink format is ‘Post name’ which it appears you are now using.
Also, when I create a page and add the shortcode to it, it creates the tab for me, but it links to /forum-2, not forums. If I change the permalink, it just changes it back.
Make sure you don’t have a deleted page named ‘forums’ in your trash.
Also, when I view the forum via the “View” link in Dashboard>Forums it takes me to /forums/forum/general-discussion/, not forums/generaldiscussion.
WordPress removes any ‘whitespace’ from the names and replaces them with a hyphen, URL’s may not contain spaces.
I added short code that to the original Forums page from Buddypress but the forum listing did nto show.
I deleted the Forums page, recreated a new one called Forums again and now the page is completely blank! Help!
http://mymobilefest.com/forums/
The only content in the page is
[bbp-topic-index]
Which is the best option to choose for permalinks?
When I change the permalinks I get a message telling me to update my .htaccess file. Except I can’t find a .htaccess file on my FTP or server, so I created one, added the text it tells me to and copied it to my root folder. That seemed to have worked ok, I no longer get the .htaccess error.

You would need to find a WordPress plugin that includes avatar support for bbPress
Hi everyone. I’m trying to solve this again after 4 months 🙂 I have installed the bbpress forum and I really want it to work. I have tested it on my site and it seems great, but when I use it with my sites theme it fails.
It wont show any users or admin the topics made in a forum. From the counter it says there are posts, but when you enter there is nothing. Just a text saying “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
You can see for youself at this address http://www.truckstop24.no/truckerforum/
Thanks for reading! 🙂
@palmdoc You can could create a new WordPress page and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to it.
There are a few that support bbPress, just add ‘bbPress’ to your search criteria at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
@palmdoc I would suggest you ask that same question in their support forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools
Is it possible to link a bbPress category forum to a BuddyPress group?
No, not at this stage but if I remember correctly there might be some bits included with bbPress 2.3 that do not stop you from doing using categories with BuddyPress groups.
I can’t seem to find the post that had some details about what these changes were but download bbPress 2.3 and have a look https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/
If nothing changes and it still behaves the same I was probably dreaming and we will look into this for a future version 😉
Try all the things you above using the Twenty Eleven theme included with bbPress…
Once you are happy that you have everything working with the Twenty Eleven theme as you expect it should then switch back to your custom theme and if needed contact the theme author asking why the theme doesn’t support xyz…
OK very new at bbPress, coming from Buddypress Group forums.
After migrating to bbPress (performing an import) my main Forums page now looks like this:
http://mymobilefest.com/forums/
Is there a way to display the latest say 20 threads from all Grouped forums in the Forums page?
Thanks
I have tried http://vegansociety.co.il/forums and I see the error but I also see your current menu item ‘forums’ links to here.
I am not sure how the Hebrew in the URL’s works in regards to WordPress & bbPress as I personally have not gone done this path before.
What happens if you create a new WordPress page and add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
Also apologies, your post had been marked as spam for the past week :/
This is fixed in bbPress 2.3
Currently this is not possible but it is a great idea that maybe one of the “bbPress Unread Posts’ plugins could add this functionality.
