Update: We tried reverting to BBPress 2.2 or 2.2-rc2 but we’re not getting anywhere. Forums keep giving 404s for logged in users. Updating permalinks, using the forum repair tools and clearing every single type of cache does not help either.
WP 3.4
BuddyPress 1.6.2
The entire site here at bbpress.org is powered by WordPress and bbPress
Have you looked at using some shortcodes on WP pages to get what you are after?
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Theres widgets too https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
I can confirm that this also happens on our PressCrew forum (http://community.presscrew.com/discussions). The forum is available for logged out users and us (the admins) but mods, participants are getting 404s. From the forum index to single topics/forums.
You will have to recreate the theme for bbPress.
You might find this helpful for getting started: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/
Good luck!
nope….
OK – here is some of the code from firebug. :
#bbpress-forums ul {
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#bbpress-forums li {
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
}
These are the styles that I would have thought controlled the bulleting of lists but the code seems to already indicate no style for the unordered lists?
I have tried adding both:
list-style: none;
and:
list-style: none !important;
and:
list-style: none outside none !important;
to all of the #bbpress style entries that I can find (only in firebug preview, not actual changes) but the little blighters remain steadfast.
?????
I tried to screenshot it because I’ve set it up behind a hosts entry. here we go again:
Here still no solution 🙁
Only keymasters and spectators can view the forum pages (and guests)
If you are a moderator, participant or blocked you get a 404 page.
Hi Stephen @netweb. I just tried creating a WordPress site from scratch with bbpress. When I clicked on reply it redirected me back to the wrong page again. It seems like its my settings with IIS.
If I use the WordPress default permalink structure (no rewrite) it still does the same thing.
What could be in your IIS that I don’t have? Where would this setting be located?
Also, what version of PHP and MySQL do you have? I have PHP 5.3 MySQL 5.1
Thanks
What’s your forum’s URL / website addres, imagei?
This is done in CSS. You should use a dev tool like firebug or chrome dev tools and inspect the element in question. It will tell you what CSS rule is styling that part.
Hi, I want to replace the admin menu “Forums” to a Japanese expression.
I have found in bbpress.php that labels including “Forums” is replaced with the function ‘__’
but somehow it is not working. The menu remains in English.
I created bbpress-ja.mo from bbpress.pot, and placed the file in the language folder.
It is including “Forums” and its translation.
Any help or suggestions?
BTW, the translation for user pages (“Voices””Posts” etc.) and
for admin settings (messages in includes/admin/settings.php) is working.
Troubles only with bbpress.php.
WordPress: 3.5
bbPress: 2.2.3

Hi
I recently instaslled bbpress on my blog at http://tenerifeforum.org.es
The page with the install is titled “forum”.
Prior to this, the blog has been using All in One Seo plugin and everything works perfectly.
Since I installed bbpress, the WP toolbar does not give the option to edit the forum page.
The only way I can access it is by going into admin – pages and then edit.
That’s ok if it works that way but now the title and description tags are not being picked up from All in One Seo and it just shows the default exerpts as description and page title.
The page had already been optimised from a previous Mingle install so if someone knows why the metas are not being picked up, I’d be very happy as it really has me baffled.
Thanks
I’ve tried to post a screenshot but the img function seems to be a bit sticky??
Hi there,
I’ve created a forum with bbpress and it’s covered in bullet points. It is referencing my theme really well apart from this one failing. I don’t want to turn them off for the whole site as they are used frequently else where. I just need to turn them off for for bbpress. Can someone please advise me how I would do this???
Someones help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I just installed bbPress and wanted to change style to fit my custom theme, when I stuck in finding where is tag added, because it completely replaces my fonts. I was trying to find it using “grep” function in console, however it did not find anything.
Could you, please, tell me, how can I remove that tag?
Thanks in advance!

That is the specific functionality I want for my forum, but can’t seem to find something that can do just that in the default theme or widgets.
Specifically, I want to show a list of most recently replied to topics and have the link to the latest topic (such as the timestamp links to on the main /forums/ page here).
What does everyone use to screen registrants before allowing access to private forums? Is there bbpress functionality I’m missing?
Thanks!
Another question :
When the database is imported from phpbb to bbpress, do the old database stay put or she is erased ?
Because i want to keep the old forum one day before migrate to the new forum.
Hello,
I want to import a phpbb forum to bbpress, i know there is a tool in Tools>>Forums. My question is about the theme. In Phpbb we have a particular theme, can we adapt the theme to Bbpress ? Is the theme imported with the database ? Or we have to re-create the theme for WordPress and bbpress ?
Thanks in advance !
@Casyi
Thanks! Your sollution worked here as well.
Yesterday I stated a question on themehybrid.com, the payed forum of Justin Tadlock. He responded within 6 hours. He seems to care.
Why does no one of the bbPress team seems to care that because of an upgrade people are in trouble (or in my case their clients). No response, no possibility to contact anyone of bbPress. Please make bbPress a payed plugin and start providing decent support!
Hello.
I use bbPress with BuddyPress.
When the participant roll user make topics, and replies, they can edit their own articles by clicking edit link. But 5 minites later, the edit link disappears.
How can i fix it ? I hope to have good advice. Thank you for reading.
Maybe, maybe not. Or not really. Let me explain. Say, for example, you had several hundred groups in buddypress and overtime users (if the option is chosen where users can create their own) decided to change their names for whatever reason, 1) bbpress wouldn’t show any of those changes, at least that’s what I’m seeing; 2) using your example of manually doing it, someone would literally have to try to figure out what the former name was to the new name, locate it, change it along with the slug hoping the new name and slug don’t cause any current conflicts -not to mention potential mass headaches, drama, and a well deserved reason to quit; or 3) i’m not sure it’s even worth to continue to use bbpress if there isn’t more of an integration between the two plugins. Is just make any logical sense that a bp group name change doesn’t pass through to bbpress.
So John, are you saying this is all by design? Why is that?
