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,

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…
Sorry, I was talking about the bbpress-unread-posts plugin!
Hi, with 082net’s fix participants and all other roles are able to see the forums.
In my forum I have a problem with moderator role privileges they can’t edit, split, or delete any post.
I have check everything
Is something else that you suggesting me!
Thanks
Hello good people
This is my very first request for help and I’m a very, very newbie with all this.
I’ve designed a film photography forum using bbpress and Fanwood theme. I’ve managed to customize some CSS but something does not work.
When writing a post or answering to a given post the “text box” allows me to write all I want and it even assume the line breaks, but when I submit the post all the line breaks are gone and the text turns into a single “block”.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you
I have opted for SMF hosting from Hostpaedia but i am having some issues with SMF and the forum doesnt seems good for my use.
I am impressed with bbPress and i want to use it on my new host. i dont know the process of installation as i am not techie. Hostpaedia Guys told that they provide with Softaculous where i can instal bbPress with one click. but i dont know from where to start.
Is there any handy guide for it ?
any help will be appreciated.
Defaulting to plain-text, like bbpress.org now does, seems like a perfectly good compromise to me.
I had the exact same problem, and have found a solution that worked for my case:
I have a custom theme running and the site.com/forums/ page was not listing the forums, even though I had created a couple sample forums and topics to make sure there was dummy data.
Thanks to Jared, it became quite apparent that the “the_content()” WordPress function was not properly generating the forum.
At first I tried disabling all the plugins, except bbpress, to see if perhaps a plugin was conflicting with the “the_content()” function; but no luck.
I then installed the TwentyTwelve theme, and switched to that, and voila, the forums were showing! Something was different in the TwentyTwelve theme that I didn’t have in my custom theme… and I narrowed it down:
SOLUTION: Make sure you have the “the_post()” function call BEFORE the “the_content()” function, in your page.php template file in your theme folder. Something in bbPress must be getting triggered by the “the_post()” function which ties into the “the_content()” function displaying the forums content properly. All subsequent pages also display properly.
Simply, ensure “the_post()” is called before “the_content()”. Did the trick for me! Good luck!
I think I finally found a caching plugin that’s actually compatible with the latest bbPress plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lite-cache/
It’s by the same developer who made the quite popular “Hyper Cache“. Why he decided to make yet another caching plugin I do not know, but it appears to be working great on our site!
I don’t understand why moderators are allowed to create forums (only admins should be allowed to do this).
Is there a way to take this capability away from moderators in bbPress?
Thanks for the help.
