Incorrect; *never* edit any files in bbPress’s directory; you’ll lose those edits when software updates come in.
@anallabres – Research how WordPress’s actions/filters/plugins work. It’s a little dizzying at first, but a few lines of code can get you up and running.
Edit the file in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core
the file to edit is called capabilities.php
Please try this code instead:
add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_reply_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);
add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_topic_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);
function act_fecha( $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ) {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $gmt, $reply_id, $translate = true );
$result = sprintf( _x( ‘%1$s at %2$s’, ‘date at time’, ‘bbpress’ ), $date, $time );
$return $result;
}
The above code would now work.

I would like to remove ‘You may use these HTML tags and attributes:…’
I am using the Thematic Theme 1.0.2.1
and bbPress plugin 2.2.4
I put this code in my themes style.css file:
.form-allowed-tags{
display:none;
}
This removed ‘Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML’ when I am logged in as admin.
Everything I have found in forums about removing ‘You may use these HTML tags and attributes:…’ refer to the Twenty Ten theme, and files and code I can’t find.
Thank You
you could try buddypress, it has more control over groups and such
with the plugins i listed, you should be able to create 1 level of private forums, just use hidden forums for clan members or site mods group, assign access to hidden forums via user role editor
have a look a this plugin too
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/groups/
you could also try a plugin called s2member which allows protection of individual forums via “URI Level Access Restrictions” this (free) plugin is intended for pay sites but you could make all levels $0 i guess
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/
http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic-tag/bbpress/
but in the end, proper per forum group permissions as in phpbb etc are something i would really like to see in bbpress
for reference, from the bbpress docs –
Visibility: decide whether your forum is public, private or hidden.
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums
i have a bit of background w phpbb and have recently been working w bbpress, while permissions are not quite as advanced you get close with one of the plugins listed below
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/
specifically, you can create a new role called something like “site mods” and give that role access to hidden or private groups and assign that role to your users as needed
Funny. I was looking into this other night. Wasnt able to find anything. I was so disappointed that I am considering changing to another forum plugin unless we could achieve this using BBpress. I would like to have forums that are only available to some users. I think the only way you could do that is to make a hidden forum and then only moderators would be able to see that. But i dont want to give these users moderator acesss. The other way is hidden private forums but any participant can private forums. Please let me know if there is a solution for this. I want to say with BBpress.
Hi there.
I’m having a small problem with user profiles. When you click to view a user profile or your own, the only thing I get is a blank page. it’s not a 404 error either, it’s simply devoid of content.
Also when my users try to edit one of their posts, they are redirected to a blank page too.
The profile url is as follows:
http://site.com/community/users/username/
People can check the forum without any problem, and it seems to be working fine besides this.
I’m running WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4 and if it helps we are also running Headway as our theme.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
The code got stripped! Can you post again?
Ay, bbPress make me feel so happy… 😉
add_filter ( ‘get_post_time’, ‘new_date’, 10, 3);
function new_date ($time, $d = ‘U’, $gmt = false) {
$translate = true;
$time = mysql2date($d, $time, $translate);
remove_filter (‘get_post_time’, ‘new_date’, 10, 3);
return $time;
}
Un saludo
FirmaSite 1.1.7 released:
download: (zip)
changelog: 1.1.7
Its an important release for BuddyPress that adds interaction buttons.
For people already started to use FirmaSite theme: dont forget to keep your eyes on Tip & Tricks! I am sending some pretty neat customizations that you can easily use 
The main area for content throughout my site is white. Behind it, the wrapper (around the header, content, and footer) is dark gray. But the white background for the main content area seems to be missing within bbPress, resulting in dark gray text over a dark gray background, making it impossible to read most items. (Actual post content appears with a white background so you can read those, but everything around the actual posts is gray on gray.)
Why? How can this be corrected to respect the correct content area background color?
Thank you so so much fontadoni for the detailed reply. Works perfect fine. I had no idea what shortcodes were; my bad, should have read the documentation properly. Also, thanks for explaining how to use these shortcodes on the required page!
http://domain.com/members/member/forums/replies/ is listing private replies to non logged in users. Is this working as intended?
(this is using bbPress 2.2.4)
I’m still having this issue.
I got another site with bbpress and it works just fine.
I think it’s something in the user access right setup…
Hey there,
The answer might be a no brainer for others that have been using the plugin version of bbpress for a while, but just like you I just migrated from the standalone version and suddenly I felt completely lost as I was used to editing the php templates for everything. I probably missed this explanation as it’s been a while since I visit bbpress.org.
Here’s the deal. You need to use the shortcodes provided here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
That’s the short answer. What I didn’t know was that you need to add these shortcodes on the page you create in WordPress for your forums. So, say you have your forums at yoursite.com/forums. You need to create a page in wordpress called “forums”, after you have done that, you can add the shortcodes on the page to customize bbpress to your liking (others can correct me if I’m wrong as I just recently figured this out).
So adding [bbp-forum-index], will display your entire forum index. Then you would need to add [bbp-topic-index] to display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.
What I still have not been able to figure out is that when you add the login tag [bbp-login] on the homepage (not the sidebar), there’s no option for login out once you’re logged in. If you find the answer for this, let me know. Hope this helps.
Hey guys, I did quite a bit of research on this one but I am yet to find a solution.
I am looking display a list of the ‘Latest Topics’ on the ‘Forum Index’ page and the ‘Homepage’ of my blog.
This was easy in the older versions of BBPress wherein you could modify the ‘archive-forum.php’ or ‘page-front-forums.php’, but it does not work with bbpress 2.2.4.
Anyone here knows of a solution?
Hi,
I have installed the bbpress plugin along with buddypress, it’s working but strange thing is happening.
Here is my forum but when I add the bbcode to display it, it gives me a weird look. Please check.
Please be kind enough to tell me where I have gone wrong.
Regards,
Sudeep Acharya
@unsalkorkmaz Congrats… There is some neat code in your theme…
@unsalkorkmaz congratulations for passing the WP theme review process 🙂 Do follow up theme reviewers mailing list if the theme’s not live in WordPress Extend Themes after 7 days.
Cheers.
Yeah thanks for advice in there!
Btw i installed BuddyPress + bbPress in http://theme.firmasite.com for theme/plugin support. If anyone want to see a live demo, you can register freely 🙂
Hello,
I am trying to modify the default bbPress theme and it is driving me crazy. What’s the best way to figure out which specific file a need to edit to add or remove code?
Thank you!
Those who (like me) have recently upgraded from the bbpress standalone version to the plugin version of bbpress, will be glad to know that Arne Branchold’s WordPress plugin “Google XML Sitemaps”, has the ability to include your bbpress forum posts into your xml sitemap. You can download the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/
I’ve been using this plugin for years so I was glad to find this option. It took me a few days to figure this out, so I thought I would share this info in case there are others wondering about a way to include your posts into your wordpress sitemap.
Go to Settings -> XML-Sitemap. Under sitemap content -> Custom Post Types: select “Include custom post type Forums” and “Include custom post type Topics”. Then update options from the bottom and click on “rebuild the sitemap manually” from the top to update your sitemap. If you have a google webmaster tools account, you can now resubmit your sitemap to google.
Congrats, that’s great news! I was also glad to see that you took my advice and split some of your theme’s functionality off into a plugin 🙂 This keeps getting better.
It’s exactly how the title puts it. It’s just a blank page with the text “viewing 5 topics – 1 of 5”. I’ve searched it up and one solution was to change line 815 in bbpress.css to “clear: both;” instead of “clear: none;”. It wasn’t line 815 but 818, but it was still near so I knew which one. I tried it, and the topics showed, but they were shifted down the page quite a lot, and there was a lot of blank space between the “viewing 5 topics – 1 of 5” and the topics list. Is there any way I can solve this? Direct link to problem is here.
