I have also WP 3.5 and BBpress 2.2 and i see option Fancy editor, but noone can’t upload images even admin.
Did you check that by yourself with 3.5? WP guys change images uploading processes a lot, so may be something crashed?
I have the same question https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-front-page/
Please if you know how to do that, post an answer.
Create a page and call it something like forum registration.
Add the registration shortcode: [bbp-register]
Then link to the new page.
(You can find more shortcodes here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/)
I had this too. It was driving me nuts. My problem ended up being with another plugin called Forum Restrict. If you have that plugin installed, then it’s probably the same for you. If not, you should try disabling all your plugins except for bbPress and see if it goes away. I don’t think bbPress itself is the problem.
If you do have Forum Restrict, the problem is with the forum_title() and topic_title() functions in index.php. The fucntions echo a variable called $ttitle which is where the black text above the header comes from. It looks like the text was meant to be inserted somewhere else, but it’s not working properly.
Aha! This totally worked. Thank you.
As a bbPress newbie, I hope it is appropriate to post this here.
I would like to offer a massive thank you for SimplePress5.php
It converted my 10,000+ post Simple:Press forum. I copied the import routine database settings from my wp-config.php., and I then completed all the Repair jobs as per instructions. I can confirm it works perfectly on Simple:Press 5.1.1, and with redirects in .htaccess, the search engines have no problem finding the old content.
I’m now looking forward to doing some support on a working forum, rather than twisting through hoops to keep the old forum alive.
Many thanks, i am blind 🙂
So I believe I’ve figured out a really simple solution to this all. My particular issue with the plugin in question in this thread is simply that it relies on users clicking a link to mark a post as read, which isn’t all that intuitive in my humblest of opinions.
Using a built in BBPress function `echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` and some CSS, we can easily style unread threads.
`echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` links to the latest reply in a given thread. So something like myforum.com/forum/topic/post-name/page/10/#postid-12345
When a new reply is created, that last bit there becomes #postid-12346 and is therefore a new URL, so browsers will treat it as an unvisited link. Therefor, doing something like this gets the job done:
`a:visited {color:red;}`
For anyone who’d like more detail, I’ve written a complete post on exactly how to do this: http://clicknathan.com/web-design/bbpress-read-topic/
It only involves changing one BBPress template file in your theme & adding a single line of code to your style.css file.
How about forum-only WordPress theme? This sounds like easily doable.
Or a theme that theme developers can integrate with their own theme if they copy things like register_sidebar() etc. to their functions.php? No need for child themes and things like that in this case.
I can think of many acceptable and convenient solutions 🙂
==========================
It is very easy to modify BBPress 1 if you have theme in /bb-templates/ or /my-templates/ folder. You have to spend hours on going through BBPress files (because there is no documentation like in case of WordPress) but that’s fine with me.
I would like to move to BBPress2 because of a bit better documentation, more functions that I’m often missing, custom fields and if it’s made as custom post type then it’s actually easy to integrate with any theme in any way – very cool.
BBPress beats any solutions like PHPBB thanks to your simple, clever and therefore highly customizable project structure. Too bad that it’s evolving slowly because it’s a great thing 🙂
When I try to post a new topic I get “Too many redirects” and the post doesn’t show up in the forum directories?
However, the post is showing up in my frontpage widget with new posts.

Wordpress 3.5
BBpress 2.2.3
I have just installed bbPress onto a brand new WordPress install and have what may be a very basic question, but I seem unable to work it out!
How do I allow new users to join the Forum that I have created so that they can create topics and/or comment on existing forum topics?
Many thanks
Thanks for this, it would be great if these could be added here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress
If you are interested in doing this post a message on the Polyglots blog here:

Each user can manage their own email subscriptions to topics via their user profile eg.
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/sixf00t4/subscriptions/
If a user wants to subscribe to an RSS feed simply add /feed/ to the end of any URL.
I think having a look at the following trac ticket that has some changes in the upcoming bbPress 2.3 might give you some pointers or it might be enough for you to just use as is when 2.3 is released.

Currently for bbpress 2.2.3. Not completed.

Try bumping the converter start (_bbp_converter_start) up 1 or 2, and see if it continues on.
I am trying to wrap my head around this and this may or may not help 😉
Once the import stops at that magic ~31000 number open up your WordPress `wp_options` table in phpMyAdmin and find the following three entries (or values similar):
- `_bbp_converter_step | 6`
- `_bbp_converter_start | 31100`
- `_bbp_converter_query | SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8…`
These translate to ‘step’ is the step the conversion was up to (Importing forums, forum hierarchy, topics etc), ‘start’ is the last set of rows the converter was importing when it stopped from the current ‘step’ and ‘query’ was the last SQL query executed.
I think from some calculated guesswork yours will be around step=6 & start=31000
What you can now try is to change this ‘start’ value directly in the `wp_options` table and increase the value to hopefully allow the importer to skip the problem and finish importing the remaining topics and onto importing the replies.
The default setting for the importer is to import 100 rows at a time as defined by ‘Rows Limit’ on the import options main import tool. Thus the importer could be failing on any of those 100 rows so if it was row 31000 that it stops on changing this to 31001 would continue on and finish the import. The reality is though that it could be any number from 31000 to 31099.
I would suggest on the forum import settings change ‘Rows Limit’ to ‘1’ and in `wp_options` change `_bbp_converter_start` to 31001 and click start. This will resume the last import starting at the same ‘step’ it left off with and starting at row 31001 and then proceed 1 row at a time.
If the import stops again you can look up the values in `wp_options` and increase by 1 again and resume the import again.
Now with that said the import will continue to only import 1 row at a time for the remainder of the import process which with 30,000+ topics I expect you will have quite a few tens or hundreds of thousands of replies to also import and this will be much slower than importing 100 rows at a time.
One other thing to be aware of is that currently activity feed integration doesn’t seem to be working if you’ve made your site private (using Settings->Reading or Settings->Privacy). Try allowing your site to be indexed and see if that solves the integration problem. There’s an open ticket for this issue if anyone is interested:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151
I’m currently using bbp_user_post_count function to fetch user post count, and wonder if there’s a way to automatically recount user post count when user makes a new reply/topic.
Currently I use recounting option manually once a day to refresh all stats. Could someone shed some light on how to recount when the bbpress post is published?

Wp Mingle. In theory, there are no possible conflicts with bbpress.
You didn’t state the full plugin name 😉
bbPress tries to be as compatible as it can with as many WordPress plugins as possible and I suggest you post in the Mingle Support Forum to see if any others have had the same issue and/or know of a work around. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mingle
You just need to run the Repair Tools for ‘Count topics for each user’ and ‘Count replies for each user’.
Are you referring to Mingle Forums?
If so I could not repro this with bbPress 2.2.3 and Mingle Forums 1.0.33.3
- WordPress Role = Administrator | bbPress Role = Keymaster
- WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Moderator
- WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Participant
- WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Spectator
The above was all I tested but each works as expected:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
bbPress 2.x includes its own phpBB converter (It was based on bbConverter)
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
The next release of bbPress will also include further improvements of the phpBB importer (I am working on these right now)
