That is a little strange. This topic did not move to the top. It still says that the last reply was 1 month ago.
Edit: Works now with this reply..
John James Jacoby said: You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first; the schematic changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
Where can we download 1.1 then? Its not at the legacy page. I got 1.0.2 too and are trying to upgrade to latest 2.x.
You might want to update the Import Forums Codex because it says that bbPress v1.x is supported, but its not as you said yourself.

I’ve managed to wrap my head around the new bbpress forum roles system pretty well, but unfortunately I think there is a minor flaw in its construction that prevents the flexibility in capability allocation that we had before this addition.
I have several groups of users on my site who participate in a special set of forums that are grouped within a forum category which is HIDDEN. I had previously allowed users who attain appropriate qualifications to participate in these hidden discussion forums by assigning them an elevated site role like “Contributor” which possessed the “Read Hidden Forums” capability.
The issue is now that forum roles have entered the picture, the “Participant” rank seems to override the “Contributors” ability to read hidden forums. I cannot manage to get any user the ability to view hidden forums unless they possess a forum role of moderator or keymaster. This poses an issue in my case, because I simply want these users to participate in hidden forums, but not have the ability to moderate them.
To summarize, it seems that bbp_participant’s lack of read_hidden_forums overrides my site role that actually has this capability assigned. What would be ideal is if I can assign these bbpress capabilities to a sitewide role, which would allow that role to supersede the capability set of a participant.
I’d welcome any thoughts or advice,
Andrew
oh…even in this bbpress post lt and gt character does not work. Thats interesting. Anyone can help me to understand.
Hi
I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation adb bbpress 2.2.2 plugin.
For some reason whenever any tag like , , , etc… are put in the content of a topic, it get removed while saving the topic. Even the tags allowed by default are removed while saving.
So basically a line like
I am going to and will need
will become
I am going to and will need
after saving.
I have tried putting and surrounding the content, but it does not help.
I have also tried “bbpress post toolbar” plugin but that kind of messes of with my theme
and too many things start breaking so I removed this.
I have already spent few days on this issue. Can someone help ?
thx

@JohnJamesJacoby, Thanks very much for confirming this! I found the ticket you created with a solution: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4657
I’ll probably go ahead and push this through later today, great work and Merry Christmas!
So,, there’s no plan so far.. thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I just decided to follow your advice and adjusted CSS to the img tags in the activity stream contents.
Thank you for the fast reply!
Hi guys and gals.
Right know I use the BBpress log in widget to log users in, but I would like to integrate it with Facebook login.
The thing I would miss if I give up the BBpress log in widget is that then the user presses his name, it redirect the user to is BBpress profile (Not the WordPress controlpanel)
That is the best way to solve this?
Regards Nicolai.
Hi @rkarel,
Welcome to the forums. If I understand correctly, to do what you want, you’ll likely need to dive into the templates and start writing some custom code.
bbPress comes with a very basic set of templates to get you started, so that you can quickly get started using it. Once you want to customize the look and feel, it’s very similar to WordPress, where you’ll need custom code to do it.
Check out the documentation to get started. There are lots of hints and tips in there.
I am going to use a lot of categories and subcategory in the BBPress forums, how can I make displaying the most recent 15 subcategories’s topics in my categories? For example, the main forum’s page displays [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-topic-index] , if I am goint to category’s page, this page displays only subcategories, and i want to display resent topics under list of subcategories! Sorry for my English 🙂
Confirmed the bug. It’s fixed in trunk, and will be part of bbPress 2.3 in January.
Sorry about that.
@rigormortis_uk – The Moderator role.
Users can have multiple roles; in this case one for the site, and one specifically for the forums.
This isn’t a testing site, so I’m closing this topic.
If you have ideas for improvement to the site, create a ticket and include some details/mocks/CSS.
Thanks for the feedback.
No plans, but could be done. Since the BuddyPress activity streams contain full HTML in each item, it’s a bit of a mess to change the visual layout. You could use some targeted CSS to improve it, but until we move to having callbacks for the items, it’s pretty limited what customizations you can do.
I’m currently using the most recent version of WP + BP + BBpress together with great satisfaction.
In my site, I’m using bbpress as graphics forum, so the participants usually post lots of topics/replies with image contents with img tags.
The issue is that the images are all shown in buddypress activity stream having the original widths/heights, so the activity stream, which is supposed to be brief and simple, are all messed up with huge photos and images.
I wonder if it’s the special behavior of my site, or a normal behavior.
And if it’s the normal behavior of bbpress, I’m curious to know is there a future plan for inserting the image resizing function in activity stream.
Thanks for reading! Merry Christmas to all. 🙂
Anyway to get Arabic version for bbpress 2.2.3?
Any language pack ?!
Yes, a vBulletin importer is included with bbPress.
See https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ to help get you started.
Currently I have been using the bbpress.css file for most of my color changes. However its a little tricky sometimes to figure out which color belongs to what.
Could somebody please tell me where I can change the font color of when a person is replying to a post. As in, the color of the text I am currently typing at this moment. I changed the background color to a darker shade but now the text is being washed out and I can’t seem to locate where to change it.
Here is a picture of what I mean:

Hello,
is it possible to move my vbulletin datbase (Topics/Replies/Members/Ect) to bbPress ?
Hi there
I actually dont have any problems with bbpress but I wish in next versions there is a choise for seperate blockes for different categories.
Also, is there a way for forums to have theme like group forums?
Thanks a lot
If you go into pages and add a new page called, forum-registration or whatever. Then add the shortcode – [bbp-register] – this will create a page for you containing the forum registration. Then you can link to that page anywhere in your bbPress or WordPress theme.
Good luck!
Do you have a seperate loop for replies? I have a loop-replies and a loop-topics.
So inside loop-replies you could set the header as answers and then inside loop-topics you can set the header as Answer. It all depends on how your template is setup.
OK, in the absence of any input, I’ve been firebug fishing for a way of selectively removing all the bullets from bbpress, but not from my main theme. To the the next guy or girl who searches for a resolution to this, I hope this works for you too – it has finally brought me success.
#bbpress-forums ul > li:before
{
content: none;
}
I’ve tried a few other odds and ends to sort this out, but it seems like the problem is simply that reply edits aren’t saving revisions to the posts DB. I don’t use any plugins that could be causing this disconnect. Is it possible this is simply something that is happening within bbPress core? Probably not, because I didn’t see any other reports of this issue, but maybe nobody has noticed?
Can someone else using WP 3.5 and BBP 2.2.3 confirm that reply revision logging is working on their install?
so if:
Admin = Keymaster
Editor = Participant
Author = Participant
Contributor = Participant
Subscriber = Participant
Then which role do we assign to make someone a forum moderator??
