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.

Ok, completely new to WP. Wanted a website with a forum…so thought this was my best bet.
Have installed bbPress. Have created forums. My forums are shown on my link but not http://mywebsite.co.uk/forums, instead it’s http://mywebsite.co.uk/post_type=forum
I did some digging around…apparently I’m to change my permalinks…but when I change them my forum disappears and I get an error –
Not Found
The requested URL /forums/forum/general-discussion/ was not found on this server.
Not sure why it’s got forums/forum??
Anyway…I’ve been trying in vain to add a forum “tab” on my home page, so that people can click the forum tab to take them to the forum home page.
I tried adding a Menu…but it says that the theme only supports one menu. (I have Home) So I did a custom link, dragged it over to the home menu…but nothing changes on my home page.
I’ve seen another saying to create a page and use a bbPress template in the drop down to link the page to the forum…except I don’t have any bbPress templates in the drop down, only “default template”, £ront page template” and “full width page template, no side bar”.
All I’m trying to do is add a forum tab to my home page…so it reads “Home…Forum” etc… Is this not doable?
bbPress 2.3 will come with an improved TinyMCE experience, similar to what you see here at bbPress.org.
Hi. I have just migrated my Buddypress legacy Group forums to bbPress using the guide here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/
and forums seem to be working
I tried out the GD BBpress tools and quote/signature function is not working
Can anyone please give some tips?

Many thanks in advance
Thanks again Jared!!
It turns out we were using the old textarea method for displaying the reply form in our template. Doh!
I’d really love a tutorial on how to include custom Bootstrap themes such as these in Firmasite.
Did you check http://theme.firmasite.com/child-theme/?
I looked into your themes folder and noticed that those themes (BootSwatch themes like Amelia, Cerulean etc.) are all simple css files, whereas these admin themes are complete templates with a bunch of assets of their own, so I’m guessing it’s not quite as straight forward as dropping a folder in the right place.
Bootstrap’s css is just 1 file which is enough but its minimum requirement. No one is stopping you to add additional css files or new php/css/js components. You can think FirmaSite as a main clean theme that supports additional features on child-themes. For example i am working on a premium real estate child-theme that is using FirmaSite as main theme 🙂
bbPress won’t even allow me to post a single link, what’s up with that? Anyways, the “admin styles” I’m referring to are over here:
wrapbootstrap dot com/themes/admin
I’ve been looking at various Bootstrap themes, and I’m starting to realize that the admin style convention is exactly what I’m after for my community site. Plastique and Perfectum are strong contenders.
I’d really love a tutorial on how to include custom Bootstrap themes such as these in Firmasite. The big question is whether this is in the “either you know how to do it already, or it’s gonna be out of your comfort zone anyways” category or not.

Nope, there is no plugin for sitemap which support bbpress however the WPMU.org have created a sitemap plugin especially for bbPress. But the problem is that the plugin is premium. which I can’t afford.
