I suppose this should be done by translation
Where should I place the language files?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me please if you can modify bbpress.php file and incorporate it into a child theme in the wordpress themes folder.
I tried making a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and the result was a blank screen. It did not work.
Your advice is appreciated!
I’m using the twenty ten wordpress theme and installed the bbpress plugin
I installed wordpress and the bbpress plugin from built-in plugin installer and made a forum which I previewed , which was fine during preview, but after I published it, the forum returns HTTP error 404 on the forum itself and when viewing the preview. This is my second installation with the same problem. A forum on my previous install showed up after a while, but the others didn’t. After following advice I changed the permalinks back to default and all the forums came with the same HTTP error 404. My website structure is “…com/worpress/index.php/forums/forum/…” for some reason.

Hi Everybody, Guys !! ^_^
Please, I have a question.
My Forums shows me this message:
The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn't been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.
The point is that: Even if when I’ve installed the bbPress qTranslate was not updated, so this message was right … Now qTranslate it is updated, but by the way bbPress doesn’t seems to see the change and it doesn’t shows me forum-contents by language.
The 1.st link in the message (reenable qTranslate) doesn’t works …
What to do, please, if I want to build a multi-language Forum ??
Another deal:
Why bbPress shows me this ugly editor ??
If I click on Visual then it is good, but the 1-st one is the defaul one …
THANK YOU !!

I’m new to web designing and i want 2 design a website which contains a discussion forum. I heard that using bbpress or phpbb i can create a forum. I want 2 know hw 2 build a website with these things??
and whether they are only for forum or can i build my entire site using only bbpress??
These links are five or so years old. Does anyone know how to do this in the current version of bbPress?
This was a problem I encountered as well… thanks for the solution to this problem.
Great news to hear about 2.2 and thanks for your support John. Unfortunately I’m working to a deadline, so I’m forced to use any temporary fix for now.
From notes mentioned in threads above I followed these directions and have been able to re-move the fatal error…
– Stripped out the entire BBP_Twenty_Ten class in my child’s functions.php file
– Temporarily disabled the plugins folder by renaming it ‘plugins~’
– Reload the admin page to get back on the dashboard
– Rename the plugins folder back to its original ‘plugins’
– Re-enabled the updated bbPress version on the Plugins page
– Re-save my Permalinks and Forum settings
I do not think the theme formally supports bbpress. Should I copy files as mentioned in https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ and set theme package to “compat”?
Probably best to wait until bbPress 2.2 comes out this week. It’s version of theme compatibility will address much of these complexities.
Anything from incorrect query_posts() usage, to not using wp_reset_query() where you should, and on, and on…
If your there supports bbPress already (meaning it has the templates already where they belong) it doesn’t need any additional code in functions.php.
Yep. Confirmed. I installed a brand new site, then bbPress. All themes work. Then installed my custom theme. Everything messed up. (Being new to bbPress) what could be the cause that blocks the whole bbPress section with this custom theme?
Sorry John, my mistake whilst in a panic: it is the child theme’s function.php which is causing the error, the line: class BBP_Twenty_Ten extends BBP_Theme_Compat
I have custom code in the main theme function file, but not the child. Strange that I have been updating bbPress fine with that exact same custom code during the past two updates.
Another forum post of interest. Could it be related to a priority issue? I’m really not sure where to begin looking through my custom code – so any clues will help.
I’ll keep digging and report if I can diagnose anything more.
Ignore them for now; bbPress 2.2 will alleviate much of these questions.
Unclear why the theme would have BBP_Theme_Compat code in it? It certainly doesn’t come with the Toolbox theme.
I just tested bbPress 2.1.3 and:
* Works fine with Toolbox, out of the box.
* Works with with BuddyPress.
* Works fine without BuddyPress.
If you made modifications to Toolbox, or have some custom code in a child theme of Toolbox, that’s likely the cause, though I don’t see how 2.1.3 is the problem, unless you modified files in the bbPress plugin yourself.
Just a heads up, I’ve been reading this and similar posts and I can’t find a solid solution.
I can confirm I wasn’t updating anything other than bbPress and I do not have BuddyPress installed nor any other plugins conflicting.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Just got exactly the same issue whilst updating today. Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in …/wp-content/themes/***/functions.php on line 32
I had just updated to bbPress 2.1.3
– Using WordPress 3.4.2
– ‘toolbox‘ theme
– a child theme which was a clone of bbPress 2.0 standard theme
Line 32 of my functions.php reads if ( ! function_exists( 'toolbox_setup' ) )
>> You’ll want to try bbPress with some other WordPress themes, and see if they play nicer together out of the box.
Already tried. It only works with twnetyten (bbpress) theme. It does not work with twnetyeleven. I’ll download a few more and give it a try.
There’s a couple of filters that could be useful for you:
bbp_user_register_redirect_to
bbp_user_lost_password_redirect_to
These pass a URL to the filter callback that is where bbPress will redirect users after they register or use the lost password form. You simply return whatever URL you want it to redirect users to instead and that URL will be where users are taken. In my case, I send them back to the forum home using bbp_get_forums_url().
For editing their profile, the templates provided in the bbPress plugin directory can help. Look in bbp-themes/ or bbp-theme-compat/extras/ for single-user-edit.
My goal was to have a blog where I could rave and rant and integrate a forum whereby viewers could interact and post their opinions. My wish list included:
Single log on
It needed to look as part of the blog and not an ‘add-on’
I wanted to be able to create a blog post and be able to automatically create a forum topic with links from each to each.
bbPress was exactly what I needed. I use the Suffusion and a suffusion plugin and here is what I came up with. I would appreciate any thoughts. I think it integrates perfectly.

It’s been less than a day, and these forums move pretty slowly; when someone has something to add, they will.
Until then, it’s safe to say that your theme is most likely the culprit here. You’ll want to try bbPress with some other WordPress themes, and see if they play nicer together out of the box.
Hello, we are working on a website that is on development and installed BBPress.
The URL is: http://fleet.decostainc.com/forums/
Is it possible to have the forums limited to specific User Groups?
Like subscribers have access only to the Safety forum.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you.

I guess that no one has seen this issue. I have this problem with the setting “bbPress Default (bbp-theme-compat)” when WordPress theme is anything other than twenty ten (bbpress). Just nothing shows up with other WP themes.
Warning newcomers about your opinion, or your incorrect observation?
Regarding development speed, see:
bbPress has never had unread posts in core, it’s been too complex and costly of a feature to include in core bbPress in the past. Maybe you can help implement it, and speed up the development cycles?
To more acutely answer your question, absolutely yes – you can build a community that lacks unread posts. We’ve build the entire WordPress.org ecosystem around bbPress.
Did you know the plugins API that powers the plugins pages in your WordPress dashboard is powered by bbPress? Or that the 5 million users on WordPress.org are all linked by users tables originally setup inside of a bbPress installation? Or that WordPress.org doesn’t run WordPress; it runs bbPress?
A hammer isn’t very good until you hit something with it.
