Can you get more specific with your CSS? By that, I mean just targeting the date instead of the whole freshness block. For example, I see on my bbPress installation that the date in the forum freshness is in a child div of li.bbp-forum-freshness, which in CSS would be div.forums-topic-datetime.
If you are more comfortable with PHP and WordPress development the forum and topic freshness links do have filters:
bbp_get_forum_freshness_link
bbp_get_topic_freshness_link
Both filters pass the link html and the forum/topic id to your callback function. You could then hook to these filters, and simply have your filter callback return an empty string.
I’m also getting ‘404 Not Found’ errors for all my forum pages
http://www.citymoose.com/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/ (newadmin | newadmin)
Strangely enough, it also breaks some of the login verification plugins I have, such as Unconfirmed and Buddypress Pending Activations (“Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/bp-pending-activations.php on line 18 and defined in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990”).
I don’t know if these errors are coming from the new BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, or the new WordPress 3.5, which I had to update all at the same time today.
There is a plugin that addresses the first issue.

Not sure of an easy way to restrict posting a thread without a few chunks of custom code.
That doesn’t work for me.
Still, all registered users have access to private forums.
How can I configure the roles and capabilities when using bbPress 2.2.x???
Please guys, there has to be a simple way to do this!
My site is: http://mycarquest.com
It has now started working correctly without any changes from me
this reminds me of another problem I am having where changes to my posts do not appear for sometime unless I open the post in another web browser or another computer
I think this problem may have started with a bbPress update a couple of weeks ago
has anyone else had a problem like this?
If you create the user, it doesn’t assign them a role right away. They’ll get role mapped once they login to the site, or once you assign them a role.
Hi everyone,
I want to remove the last post date from my bbpress forum and topic pages:
I want only this to show up:
Freshness
[AVATAR IMAGE] Username
Basically i want to get rid of the date. I tried using CSS with this code:
li.bbp-forum-freshness a,
li.bbp-topic-freshness a{
display: none;
}
But it hides both the date and the username.
So, how can i hide only the date and leave the username?
Please help.
You’ll want to fully update to bbPress 1.1/1.2 first. Make sure your forums work after having done so. As long as the 0.9 to 1.1 migration was successful, moving to 2.x should be exactly as described above.
The data schema changed from 0.9 to 1.1, and the converter in 2.0 is not for 0.9.
When creating new user, bbPress role is not added. I don’t have any roles plugins or anything like that. I create new Subscriber user, and it doesn’t get bbPress role. I am using bbPress 2.2.3. Is there something needed to make this work, or should it work automatically?
EDIT: OK, there is a setting to allow this, and it is disabled by default for some reason.
EDIT 2: And no luck, even with this option ON, roles are still not assigned to new users.
It’s not always necessary, but everybody’s plugin combinations are different.
A link to your site, and any additional information you can give allows us to be much more helpful than the “HALP! IT BROKE!” reply. 🙂
Hey! First time around here, and I’m a total newbie to bbpress. Glad you see you all!
I have a slight problem with my bbpress installation. Users from the forums see an “Edit this” link at the top of the topic and when they use it they can edit the topic in the WordPress post editor.
Is there a way to remove that link?
Thanks!
i’m using this plugin for bbpress logins w facebook twitter google etc, seems to work fine

Please help.

Hi castresna,
i’ve the same problem you describe above. After importing from bbPress 1.2 the replys and topics are mixed up. I’ve tried it a ten times – but no results.
How have you solved this problem for your forum?
I appreciate any advice. 🙂
Thanks.
Hi,
I saw somwhere a topic about Forums, Topics and Replies somwhere in the forum and want to confirm that it exists even in just releases 2.2.3. In admin and on frontend bbpess post types labels don’t get translated (tested on 2 different sites, translated in 2 different tools, my language uses extended latin chars).
Another issue is with the User profile rules (permalinks, line 873 in bbpress.php). It’s possible to filter rewrite rules for user favorites and subscriptions but topics and replies (and it’s pagination) are hardcoded, even if there are functions available to use instead (and filter if needed)
I think that now bbPress is more popular than BuddyPress.
Some fixes in bbPress 2.2.3:
- Improve compatibility with some themes.
- Fix integration with BuddyPress Group Forums.
- Fix BuddyPress Activity Stream integration.
It’s also fully compatible with WordPress 3.5.
Indeed this awesome plugin does exist by @jmdodd
bbPress Topic to Post Converter
Add “Convert to Post” action for forum moderators.

I want to change the output of the “Code” editor button of the bbpress plugin to use my custom shortcode for posting code in the forums. How can I do this? I’m unable to find any reference to the buttons in any of the templates.
This is my first time trying bbpress. Installation went without a hitch, but I noticed a weird behaviour. After installing bbpress and setting my forum base to ‘forums’ and my forum slug to ‘forum’, going to mydomain.com/forums shows me my blog page instead. And, going to mydomain.com/forum gives me a Not Found error. Any ideas of what I am missing?
Ideally, I’d like my readers to access the root of the Forums by going to mydomain.com/forums.
