It is planned for a future release see trac ticket #2055.
If you search the WordPress plugin repo you should find something that works for you though…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ try searching for author and/or authors as bbPress users are just WordPress users after all.
We’ve got a problem on our site where random logged in users without the read_private_forums capability can still view and post in stickied topics (not super stickied) in private forums if they know the URL. We’re using s2member, but that probably isn’t relevant to the issue. Also I’ve disabled reading private forums for the Participant role using Capability Manager Enhanced.
bbpress version 2.2.4, wordpress version 3.5.1
Hi there everyone, I have installed bbpress on my wp site, I installed Version 2.2.4 and the version of my WP is 3.5.1 the theme im using is reviewit. my website is winfamilysurvival.co.uk
I am testing the bbpress forum at the moment but ive not made pages public yet, I’m ok with creating forums and topics and all is well whilst editing these elements, however when it comes to reading the posts/forums I get a white background to the posts and the and forum menu areas with the text in posts being white, and most of the text in the menus white too, I have looked everywhere but cant find a setting to change this, can someone please help me out, I have mingle forum up and running of the site at present and the only reason I am changing is because I want the users to integrate into my forum and not have to add them manually.
Im running a competition on my site at present that relies on the forum so I was hoping to migrate this one over to the forum but I just need to solve this issue and im away.
Thanks, JJJ.
Given that the Forums, Topics and Replies checkboxes under Settings > Sharing don’t show up until you install bbPress, it’s understandable that I thought it should work.
I really don’t want sharing buttons under each reply — the Topic and Forum level would be sufficient. I’ll keep digging and see what I can sort out.
This won’t work out of the box, and is by design. Jetpack hooks sharing options to the end of the ‘the_content’ filter. bbPress doesn’t use this filter, because blog content doesn’t have the same rules as forum content does; they work differently. To make it work, Jetpack’s sharing options would need to hook into `bbp_get_topic_content` and `bbp_get_reply_content` instead.
Someone could write a piggyback function to do this, but it may be more difficult than this first step once you’ve gotten this far. Replies don’t use the same “premalink” logic as topics, forums, pages, and posts do, since they are technically children of topics. There could be other quirks, too.
No, migrating bbPress forums to BuddyPress’ is not something we have looked at yet…
It has come up a couple of times now and might be something we can look at in the future.
Forum search is part of the upcoming bbPress 2.3 release.
Ok, I’m having the same issue here, I’ve turned all the plugins off and I still don’t get a Forum button in the admin panel.
I really want to use this add on, but i can’t get a darn forum added. Is there a direct link I can try so I can create a forum?
maybe something like ../wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=bbpress
I’m having this same problem. I’ve tried using Jetpack share icons on a fresh install of WP with bbPress (no other plugins) and the Twenty Twelve theme, and they won’t show up. I check the boxes for Forums, Topics and Replies under Settings > Sharing, but no luck.
Jim, you said you figured out a workaround, can you elaborate? I’d like to include them on Forums and Topics (but probably not replies).
I installed BBPress 2.2.3 on wordpress 3.5 and the admin panel doesn’t display a Forum button for me to add forums and topics. When I go to settings, I can see the Forum settings, but nothing else.
I’m using a custom theme, but when I reverted back to twentytwelve, it was the same issue.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
I am using a WordPress site and i want to use the Plugin WP-Members to get Members registered. The Forum only becomes visible when you are a registered user. As i saw in WP-Members, i can add custom fields to the registration (required or not) I want that users allready kinda have to fill in some more information about theirselves = Profile at the registration
My question is: Can all this information username/password and the whole Profile information submitted while the registration in WP-Members automatically added to BBPress. So the user is also autmaitcally registered at the forum BBPress and allready have a Profile with some info which he filled in at the registration in WP-Members.. ??
Thanks for any help

Hi,
I need to make a list of forum members to display like http://stackoverflow.com/users. I can’t for the life of me find a way to do this. It seems like something that should be pretty obvious. I’d hope to get a plugin or at least some pretty well documented code to make a template or some such. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I’m on WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.3
Thanks so much.
Hey there,
Just a quick question that has been baffling me for two weeks. Whenever anyone visits a user profile, it is blank, any idea why this is? I’m trying to integrate bbPress into a YOOtheme.
You can see an example of what I mean here on the test site: http://kaz.splitanatom.com/forums/user/hammy
Thank you so much in advance for your help,
Hamual
Please teach me how to display search button on page only for bbpress posts.
Is it required any plugin?
* WordPress Ver : 3.5.1
* Theme : Twenty Twelve
* bbPress Ver : 2.2.4
Thanks for your responses. Last Thing : Is this possible to migrate the forum bbpress (forums), to the buddypress’s system (group-forums) ? I like the presentation and plugins buddypress, so i wanted to manage forums with buddypress system.
Good News All!!! Ok…. I have sub forums working in buddypress with a small hack to group.php (in latest trunk of bbpress 2.3). @johnjamesjacoby was right, it looks like they started building this functionality into bbpress and so-far it works. The only thing left to do, is maybe make it display a little more intuitively (I’ll continue to work on that), and on the buddypress side allow sub forum posts to be added to the activity feed of the group it belongs to. I was wrong before, sub forum topic posts do not show up on group activity feed, but I think I’ve already isolated the code to fix that.
Here is how to play with my hack in the latest trunk:
EDIT: /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php
Delete lines 609-614 and add “?>” back to line 609.
This is how the forums in groups looks now (you can see all topics from the group forum and the bbpress sub forum of that group forum). Also, the post box has a drop-down select to chose the forum or sub-forum to post to:
How to create “New topic page” like this?
@johnjamesjacoby – This actually almost completely works within the current trunks of bbpress and buddypress, even the activity feed of subforums looks and works correctly within the group. The only bug is somewhere in the display of the forum tab in the group, I assume because it’s not expecting a subforum, which is why it doesn’t display the parent forum, which is also the group forum. I confirmed this by creating another subgroup (so 1 parent, and 2 child), and it will only display the latest forum/subforum created within the group and ignore the older 2 (the parent and first created subfourm). I will play around with the source code to see where it’s generating the group forum display and make a code suggestion if you would like. It’s probably just querying the bbpress tables for a forum associated with the group and whichever shows last in the table is what the display generates. It’s smart enough to already calculate all of the topics in all forums and sub-forums, so it’s about 90% of the way there. I think because bbpress and buddypress are partitioned so well, this might not be an issue, it’s almost feature complete in this regard, and I know the community has been clambering for this functionality for a very long time. Most end up turning to the hierarchy plugin, which really isn’t the long term solution. Is it possible to get this into 1.7, which is so close to release? If so, I’ll work out a quick solution, that is future proof and can be expanded on in future versions.
I’ve considered this, but without term meta there’s no way to do sticky topics in groups.
What about assigning tag(s) to a group instead, like you do it on WPORG? Wouldn’t that be a good way to at least make it a bit more flexible while working towards the ‘multiple forums per group’ ?
My short answer is to turn off bbPress’s built in per-topic notifications, and build your own.
Since it’s a blanket on/off for each user, save a usermeta option whether or not they’ve opted in; save this when they create their account. There are plenty of actions and filters in the default profile templates that will allow you to intercept the input/output process, so adding an additional field is not too difficult, though not exactly easy either (lots of touch points.)
In all, this could be built as a completely self-contained plugin, and released to the community. I’d be surprised if someone isn’t already trying to build the same thing.
Multiple forums per BuddyPress Group is started in bbPress, but likely won’t be finished for several months. There are a few technical challenges regarding performance that don’t make it entirely feasible. If it’s something you need, you’ll want to build it, and if you’re able, contribute back to the bbPress project.
On the whole, I agree that it would be nice to have in core.
This is a bit of a brute force hack, and only fixes the problem because something else is initializing the current user before $wp->init would naturally call it.
Also, on multisite installations, this will cause other more annoying issues that are even more difficult to track down. 🙂
There must be some other plugin that’s doing something wrong in your installation(s).
I also am having a problem here. Is there a rich text editor for a buddypress +bbpress installation as my users dont like everything being plain text…
