I have seen a couple of people mention this… That said most find that the problem is fixed with bbPress 2.3. Can you download bbPress 2.3 RC1 from here and test again, hopefully the issue is fixed for you.
and it trashed my code, try again without the ‘s
a href=”” class=”submit user-submit”><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?
Sorry I’m a rookie idiot that didn’t include the website

This is probably a dumb question, and you’ll point me to a much easier solution!
Also I am still very new to wordpress, so understand a little of css and php’s but not tons. I’ll use thing and thingy a lot as well, so as not to embarrass myself with the wrong technical terms.
I am using bbpress 2.2.4 on WordPress 3.5.1 with a twentyten child theme that does a few minor mods.
I am setting up a forum, but don’t want users to see the WordPress toolbar, as this is outside the theme.
But I do want users to be able to change their password and details.
I am using the bbpress login widget in the bbpress sidebar, and by clicking the avatar or their username, users can get to a theme friendly profile page that lets them do just this.
However clicking the avatar is not instinctive, and I’d like (in the absence of a more obvious solution) to add a thingy to the bbpress sidebar that says “amend profile/change password” which when clicked takes you to the same place that clicking the avatar does (or some similar solution)
From searching on the forums, I have found the line within the widget that does this fro teh avatar (around line 140) which looks like
‘<a href="” class=”submit user-submit”>
But have no idea how to then use this or other code to achieve the goal.
Any good ideas, or is there a very basic solution I’ve missed.
Thanks
I am fairly miserable at web design, so I did the visuals and had another person do the bulk of the code and technical stuff for my website. I have a WordPress site with forums on the site using bbPress. My issue is that I seem to only be capable of having 5 topics in the forum at any given time. At the top it will indicate it is showing topics 1-5 of 8, but there is no link to any page where the older topics can be found. It’s fairly useless to have a Forum where only the most recent 5 topics can be seen. So my question is, is there a simple fix I am overlooking, or is this more likely something the person I had work on the site previously set up aside from bbPress? The site is live, and can be seen here:

i found out what was the problem for me, this could be a bbpress bug. In wp_options in database i found a column named wp(tableprefix)_user_roles, in the array there was missing two roles bbp_participant and bbp_moderator.
add this. and don’t forget to tell the big array that there’s one more array in the array.
s:15:”bbp_participant”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:11:”Participant”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:28:{s:8:”spectate”;b:1;s:11:”participate”;b:1;s:8:”moderate”;b:0;s:8:”throttle”;b:0;s:10:”view_trash”;b:0;s:14:”publish_forums”;b:0;s:11:”edit_forums”;b:0;s:18:”edit_others_forums”;b:0;s:13:”delete_forums”;b:0;s:20:”delete_others_forums”;b:0;s:19:”read_private_forums”;b:1;s:18:”read_hidden_forums”;b:0;s:14:”publish_topics”;b:1;s:11:”edit_topics”;b:1;s:18:”edit_others_topics”;b:0;s:13:”delete_topics”;b:0;s:20:”delete_others_topics”;b:0;s:19:”read_private_topics”;b:0;s:15:”publish_replies”;b:1;s:12:”edit_replies”;b:1;s:19:”edit_others_replies”;b:0;s:14:”delete_replies”;b:0;s:21:”delete_others_replies”;b:0;s:20:”read_private_replies”;b:0;s:17:”manage_topic_tags”;b:0;s:15:”edit_topic_tags”;b:0;s:17:”delete_topic_tags”;b:0;s:17:”assign_topic_tags”;b:1;}}}
Eureka…!!! sorry, i don’t mean to spam this thread. but finally i made it fixed.
hope this help for others
these is my installation : WP 3.5.1 (multisite subdir)+ BP 1.7 rc1 + Bbp 2.3 rc1
by default it should work to any themes..
my trouble previously : (look above)
Managed fullwidth : (thanks to @jaredatch)
– identify your theme’s file with fullwidth.php
– rename that file to bbpress.php
– you’ll get no sidebar, meaning your forum is fullwidth
Removing dot list style : (thanks to @jaredatch again)
– put the code below into your main theme css. ussually called style.css
#bbpress-forums li {
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
background: none;
padding: 0;
}
– you SHOULD put under #main area and not in #sidebar or other IDs.
that’s all.
cheers
Currently this is not possible with bbPress out of the box.
Take a look at this thread on creating your own language/translation files for bbPress.
Language file isn't working
Grab a free theme from WordPress https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ and see how well it integrates with bbPress some themes support bbPress others just work.

Can you try updating to bbPress 2.3 RC1 and if you still have problems create a ticket in trac.
bbPress 2.3 – Release Candidate 1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/wiki
I think you might want to install the ‘bbPress Debug Bar’ by @mzaweb
It will show you exactly what templates are being loaded on each page of your site.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar-bbpress/
Can you try bbPress 2.3 RC1 https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/
A similar issue was reported here but can no longer be reproduced.
You are correct, bbPress does not include any form of ‘live preview’ at this stage.
If you enable the ‘fancy editor’ though you do have a WYSIWYG which is similar to ‘live preview’
bbPress does not have any options to do what you are looking for at this stage.
That said there have been a couple of tweaks to how Private/Hidden forums for the upcoming bbPress 2.3 that you can grab bbPress 2.3 RC1 and see if it helps or not 😉
bbPress 2.3 – Release Candidate 1
Take a look at `bbp_get_participant_role` /includes/core/capabilities.php#L219
Try using `is_bbpress()` as the conditional.
@pdblizzard Strange that users don’t import correctly if BuddyPress is enabled…
What version of BuddyPress were you using and group or sites idle forums enabled?
I will try to reproduce it if I can…..
Putting this in your theme’s CSS will be a start, but you’ll likely need more CSS tweaks as you go to play nice with your theme.
#bbpress-forums li {
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
background: none;
padding: 0;
}
i tried @jaredatch by putting above code in my theme’s style.css. but still the list style appears..

https://www.dropbox.com/s/79dnu5ndrm2gyz0/bbpress%20liststyle%20trouble.png

Replies are not comments.
`bbp_get_reply_author_id( bbp_get_reply_id() );` will give you what you need.
Let me recommend you to give a good look at the bbPress source code. It’s surprisingly well documented.
on an unrelated topic;
i have `bbp_get_reply_id()`, which is getting me the id of the topic reply, and im trying to use it to get the id of the author so that i can print any of the authors meta data, role, name, url, etc.
Does bbPress have a method for getting the author id? Sofar using
`
$comment = get_comment( bbp_get_reply_id() );
$comment_author_id = $comment->user_id;
`
returns me my favorite:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\WoW_Public_Vent_Theme\functions.php on line 275
I’m creating the employees group through Buddypress because I could find no way to create groups without this plugin. I would like to just use bbPress but I don’t see how to create groups with rights to designate forums.
I tried using a handful of different plugins to change the default avatar. However whenever someone changes thier avatar the “mystery man” icon is still showing in the bbPress profile. What plugin are people using to do custom avatars with bbPress? Is there one that will allow people to choose from a couple different default avatars?
