Just to let you know I have no updated the original link but I don’t think it has the changes you made. Good thing to know for anyone using Github, always sync before you make any changes that is what got me stuck.
Aww man git is doing my head in lol.
I currently have windows.github.com but it won’t let me commit anything because of conflicts, then it redirects me to the command line tool. I can probably just make a local backup, delete my repo, resync it and then add the new files back in so it allows me to commit (hopefully).
If not then I will do some reading up on github I guess.
I am using: Windows, Wamp, Notepad++
Thanks a lot for all the help netweb, I will be trying to sort this mess out over the next couple of days!
How did you solve it? I want to make the different URL like the way you wanted. I also want /blog and /forums url separately. Please help.
Hello All,
I have installed wordpress on my site in a folder named /blog and installed bbpress for forums. The issue is, bbpress url is set as /blog/forums and I want to change it to /forums. Is it possible? Please help me.
thanks!
Hello,
I’m a newbie so on forehand sorry for stupid questions.
I’ve installed WordPress 3.5.1, a fresh bbpress 2.2.4 forum, BuddyPress 1.6.4, Better WP Security 3.4.8 and WP Super Cache 1.2.
Besides that the forum (under the tab Forums) doesn’t show up, the question is:
How is it possible that only one person takes an account on the forum, I’ve received only one e-mail, and there are 3 new users. I suspect they are not the chatting-type, so I will delete these accounts anyway.
Is there a way to prevent this? Is it a bug? What can I do about it?
Thanks for your answers.
Hello, I am new to bbPress and I am currently using a theme called GamePress. I’m pretty sure this theme isn’t compatible with bbPress because when I go to create a page the templates aren’t located in the themes drop-down. Is there a way to make my theme compatible with my theme.
Also, The forum shows up if I type in my url http://www.website.com/forums but I don’t like the way it looks where do I go to change the themes? I didn’t see an option in the Admin of wordpress anywhere. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jordan
You can set the forum order from your WordPress dashboard, see the following docs for more info:
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum
I currently have a new version of my theme sitting locally but I am fairly certain the updates you did aren’t included. I am thinking it might be best to try and extend the bbpress-functions.php from yet another custom functions file so that this can almost sit on top of that and never need to be changed?
Any thoughts about it?
I am not sure what the best practice approach is as I am wrestling with the same issue myself for a project I am doing at the moment. I’ll ask @jjj his thoughts and get back to you.
Hey all, I am pretty bad with Github at the moment, I broke something so I made a new git repo.
https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbpress-starter-theme-v2.0
Its all good, I took a look at the code and will submit another pull request against your original GitHub repo with all your updates and the bbPress 2.3 updates.
(I think it’s best to keep the original repo as people are following/starred/bookmarked it etc)
If anyone has any good git tutorials let me know lol.
What platform and devtools are you using to develop with?
Windows/Mac, MAMP/XAMP, Sublime Text 2/Notepad++/Netbeans etc etc
These tools below take some of the daunting command line horrors out of your learning Git.
If you are on Windows then use this http://windows.github.com/
(I use this for %90+ of anything to do with GitHub)
If on a Mac grab this http://mac.github.com/
(I don’t have a Mac but this looks from my quick look the equiv of the Windows features above)
If you want to get into Git via the command line check this out

I will try to install bbPress 2.3.
Thank you for answering my question!
Thanks @lynq and @mostafaghanbari. That’s something to think about..
Hi Lynq!
Thanks for the tip. The problem was with my theme css. Luckily I found a better theme than the last one and it solved my problem. I really appreciate your help.
Regards!!
I think youre right that the first is a bug. Ive been able to reproduce.
The second issue doesnt seem very bug-like though. Could you share the code that is calling the add_user function? As I said before, I suspect you’re not doing any validation on the situations ion which the function is allowed to run.
hello @blogjunkie. for number 2 and 3 u can install User Role Editor to manage your customers access roles. for number one you have many different ways! please explain it more!
That’s going to need quite a bit of custom work, unless someone knows of a plugin you can use.
You will need to somehow map the user to their forum and then in their custom login page pull all the topics based on that users forum id. I can see how it could be done.
When the customer registers you could create the forum, update the user_meta with that forum id and then have a custom view which fetches the customers user_meta forum id and then displays all of the topics based off that forum id.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_user_meta
Good luck!
If I get any strange issues the first thing I do is updated the permalinks and resave them.
Have you made any changes inside settings > forums you can change the base url and things like that,

Participant is not one of WordPress’s user roles! It only gets introduced with bbPress.
There’s nothing wrong with my add_user() function (I don’t have one!) The problem occurs when calling up the WordPress function ‘add_user_to_blog’ when bbPress is active.
Is there a way of reporting bugs found in bbPress?
Hi! I’m new to bbPress and have some questions. I wouldn’t mind paid consulting so if you’re an expert please let me know how to get in touch.
I run a business providing support plans which customers subscribe to for ongoing tech support for their WordPress site. I want to have a system where I am able to log all the support activities for each customer. Each post would then be a support incident for the customer. They would then be able to login to see a history of the activity in their account.
I am thinking of creating a forum for each customer and a new thread (topic) for each support incident. Customers are not allowed to create new threads – they can only comment. My question is how to setup bbPress so that:
1. Customers can only view threads in forums that they have access to
2. Customers can only comment on existing threads and cannot create new threads
3. Customers receive notifications of new threads to forums that they are assigned to.
I would really appreciate any pointers. Thanks all!
The ‘participant’ role is one of WordPress’ user roles. bbPress assigns the bbp_participant role, which makes me think there is something else going on here. Are you running any other plugins or custom functions?
Perhaps you could use something like Multisite User Management to set ‘no role’ as the default across the network. You might need to make some code changes to it though.
What does your add_user() function look like? It sounds like this could be resolved by wrapping your code in a !is_admin() conditional.
You misunderstand – I don’t want network users to be added as a participant! (The bug is that bbPress does this even, at installation/activation, the default option says not too!)
The second bug is a bigger problem here, as there is no work-around except disabling bbPress!
(I did see your plugin and article before posting, and thought the code had been absorbed into bbPress, but obviously not. If the feature is already present, why write this plugin?)
i really don’t understand why bbpress includes topics inside “user replies created”!. i just designed a forum based on bbpress and i want to show just replies in “user replies created”. by using sql i checked type of each reply and if “topic_type” is not equal to “reply” so ignore it. everything works fine until i realized pagination(page numbers) functionality doesn’t ignore topics! for example assume page limitation is 5, i have 3 replies and 3topic and as i said i ignored topics and i see just 3 replies but also page numbers! the worst thing is ordered items with their dates and if date of replies are older that topics i see the very first page empty and for seeing replies created i should navigate to see them! how can i tell pagination that ignore topics in this particulate page?!
PS: i installed BBpress beside Buddypress for having powerfull profile abilities. wordpress 3.5 and lates bbpress till now(2.2.3)
Hi there!
As the title suggests, I am wondering if it is possible to make it so that when I create a new post in my WordPress, it automatically creates a new topic in bbPress. Ideally, it would automatically be created in the right forum, maybe via a custom field or category?
Also, if that’s doable at all, is it possible to automatically put the permalink somewhere on the page of the article that is the post? Or maybe even turn the WordPress comment area into the bbPress reply section, if you know what I mean? So that directly underneath the article in my WordPress, users who are logged into the board can reply and those who aren’t logged in get a log-in link.
If one of you could let me know if any of that is possible and point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance.
