Same issue with me, (bbpress 2.2.4 and wp 3.5.1), changing “clear: none;” to “clear: both;” (bbpress.css line 810), making the ul list including table visible. Dont know if it will break some other thing but currently fine.
I suspect that ‘clear:none’ is the right thing built in bbpress, it need to be fixed with some other proper css style.
I am getting the same issue in bbpress 2.2.4 with wordpress 3.5.1. In my site Profile pages have body class “error404” included automatically. Other bbpress pages are fine. “error 404” is defined with styles in theme which disturbing layout of the page. What I have done is just put bbpress/single-user.php inside my theme for custom editing (still not edited, just putting inside the theme created the issue).
My theme is built using wordpress twenty-twelve theme very little customized.
This issue is also mentioned here in bbpress trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1478 , closed, but dont know why I getting this problem.
Is this really fixed with bbpress? Please let me know what I can do to fix the problem?
Hello,
As per bbpress doc I found by default it uses page.php in wordpress theme to render all its contents. But since I have to use different template with a different sidebar and widgets I created forum.php copied from page.php in my wp-theme and luckily it worked. Dont know why its not mentioned in bbpress docs. Also, forums.php working fine, so I am in more doubt which file naming conventions is correct. Is it something missed to mention in bbpress docs? Please let me know.
Further, for the bbpress user pages, like profile, edit profile, topic started etc. I need to use a custom template file in my theme. In bbpress templates as per documentation, I have checked all user templates inside are just contains the content part only not including header, footer, sidebar etc. And by default it also renders by page.php.
How can I make a custom user template file other than page.php or forum.php which control all user related contents, so that I can have different template for forum or other pages?
Suggestion:
BBpress should have capability to use different template files for different kind of pages, or their should be settings in bbpress admin to select which template to use for what kind of pages.
This is somewhat, wp-members, woocommerce and other plugins do for better integration in wordpress. These plugins have the ability to create different pages in admin editor having selected particular template to render and putting inside their shortcodes to render various types of contents. And also have the settings in their admin to set different pages/template for different stuff.
Please let me know if this possible with bbpress 2.2.4 with wp 3.5.1 currently.
If not possible please let me know how I can achieve the effect, with some sample custom code hints. Currently I dont need help to create bbpress admin side settings dropdown etc., becoz these are the thing I mentioned as suggestions to make bbpress better theme compatible.
Right now, just need help how to use different template for user pages than other forum pages.

Hi all,
same problem here: I used simple:press in the past, but due to their *$@µ policy where you need to pay (yeeeh, pay!) 39$ to get a simple extra plugin for uploading images, I switched over to bbPress.
But I can’t find the option to allow users to upload images! Please help us with this!
reg,

Standard bbPress & WordPress do NOT support ‘signatures’ in the user profiles.
What are you using for bbPress signatures?
I am a “noob” too. So, will bbPress work with ANY theme, or should I buy a theme designed for it? I know very little about editing code but I can hire someone to help me.
I wanted to use the Sophis theme from Theme Forest but the author says he has zero experience with bbPress and he doesn’t think it will work. It is any older theme.
Any advice?
Thank you,

I have a fresh multisite/buddypress/bbpress. I installed sitewide forums and made sure group functionality was turned on for forums. This is on a sub site with buddypress multisite turned on. I had previously had the same issues I have now on a already installed site. Because of these issue I scrubbed the install, wiped the database and reinstalled fresh. I still have this issue. when I create a topic from buddypress group forum page it goes to a blank page with this error
“<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in <b>/home/spanef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php</b> on line <b>178</b><br />”
I have seen previous solutions about deleting the forum ids in bp_group_meta which i did and upon recreation still didn’t work.
I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress . This is a fresh install. Do you have any idea what i can do, I have to have this working.
Hi, I’m somewhat of a WP newbie. I’ve been able to get my WP site up and recently added bbPress. I created a Forums page at : http://flomio.com/forums/forum/ask-the-flomies/
For some reason I don’t see any of the “Create New Topic” widgets or WYSIWYG editor rendered in the page. I am able to create Forums and Topics from the WP Admin page but these don’t seem to be rendering in the forums page either. All I find is a right-side panel that shows my “active forums” and my login profile.
I’m using the Propulsion theme from woothemes and Googling around suggests that it should play nicely with bbPress. Any ideas, help, input is much appreciated.
thanks,
Customizing the example.php file is what will map your existing SQL database tables and fields to the required bbPress tables and fields to import your data.
I am slowly getting some docs up on the codex, though these need updating.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
It is limited to embedding a linked image only.
GD bbPress attachments is fully compatible with bbPress 2.2.x as far as I know.

You need to be using bbPress 2.3 for the SimplePress import module to be included with bbPress
You can download the bbPress 2.3 beta 2 from here:
bbPress 2.3 Beta 2
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that’s not quite what I’m lookging for. Here’s an example:
Topics:
RE:RE: Sample Topic Posted Feb 3st, 2012
RE: Sample Topic Posted Feb 2st, 2012
Sample Topic Posted Feb 1st, 2012
—-
As opposed to clicking on “Sample Topic” and being brought to the “Sample Topic” page with each reply listed below.
Basically, each reply to a topic is its own post and has its own page.
Reference http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboards/bb?s=BB&t=LIST for a good example.
Thanks again.
WP: 3.5.1, bbPress: 2.2.4
From the documentation I can tell that the ‘Auto Role’ applies the default user role to new user accounts. However since ‘Auto Role’ is not turned on by default I’m curious what the default behavior is? Or more importantly, why isn’t ‘Auto Role’ enabled by default?
Thanks,

I would like to switch from simple press to bbpress and am looking for the best way to import the data. Unfortunately, when I go to tools-forum-import, I do NOT have the option to import from simple press. Any idea why not?

beta1 of 2.3 now allows image embedding.
Does that capability support uploading of other file formats? Or is it just limited to images?
One of the pain points for bbPress for my uses is the lack of a universal file upload system. I know there is a plugin or two, but they didn’t appear compatible with 2.0+
So, as I understand it, I would need to customize the example file, which will be the template for the forums. Then, I will need to actually import the data?
Do you mean I need to unsubscribe to this forum for you to answer? How will I know if you reply if I do? Thanks if you can help me out!
Create a page and use the `[bbp-topic-index]` shortcode to display all topics from across every forum.
Unsubscribe, apparently I have to leave a comment to do so.
Hello,
I just installed bbpress and am quite impressed. Unfortunately, though I need a solution that works in a message board format, where topics are started and replies to those topics all show up in one big list, instead of breaking them down into their own sub categories. An example of this would be the forum on Stockhouse, found here http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboards/bb?s=BB&t=LIST.
Is this possible with BBpress?
Thank you!
Have you looked in the WordPress Plugin Directory for something to do what you are after?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
bbPress uses WordPress to maintain/manage users and usernames etc so there might just be something that suits your needs. I am not sure if any would be compatible with the bbPress front end profile editor but it might be worth a shot. (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chevymanusa/edit/ )
Its not as fully featured as what you are looking for though it is a start the ‘bbPress Post Ratings’ as discussed here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/introducing-plugins-for-quotes-ratings-and-unread-posts/
I, for one, am very much looking forward to image embedding in topics/replies using WYSIWYG!
I’m also using GD bbPress Attachments, but instead of embedded the images in the post or reply, it attaches them at the bottom of the topic or reply. This is not always ideal, as the images are separate from the topic/reply. Also it gets tricky when there are multiple images.
Fortunately bbPress 2.3 will have true image embedding, and should be released very soon
bbPress 2.2.4 Released
Hi Lynq,
I tried adding that first code from pastbin to my homepage box which is supposed to show the latest 5 topics from our bbpress forums – unfortunately it’s not showing anything. Is there something else that needs to be added?
