I think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Toolbar
Read and searsh a bit i think it’s very easy to add a link and remove stuff from this Toolbar.
there are filters i believe you can add to your functions.php to make this happen.
- There is also a plugin for locking members from going to your back-end made by @jjj
That’s very strange looks like the WP Loop is going somewhere through the sidebar.php file.
Make sure nowhere in the file is this code also look in the footer or other files that will be used.
( without the * )
But why would you copy stuff form the archive-forum.php template to the page.php template ?
page.php is used to generate a default WordPress page.
bbPress has it’s own Custom Templates
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
Those can be found in the extra’s folder. For example if you copy page-front-forums.php from the extras folder to your WordPress theme folder you can find it while adding a new Page inside the WordPresss Dashboard.
Just: Add New Page and in the sidebar on the right side you can find an option the select a different Page Template.
Pick the new bbPress page template and name your page like Support of whatever the title or (url) of this page has to be and Save it.
Visit the Page and all the forums will show on that new page.
Now if you like to add some WordPress (blog) stuff to that page copy it from whatever WordPress template inside the page-front-forums.php
Make sure you delete the sidebar() code that i showed above out of that template.
Thats the logic way of working i believe. Don’t touch the page.php because it’s a default WordPress template for making new pages on your website.
Hi all
My first time using bbpress, so please be patient 🙂
I´m using bbpress plugin (last + WP last)
I´d like to prevent my registered users to access the dashboard. On my test install i had no look. After login users get the WP Toolbar at the top with the dashboard access, but looking to this site i´ve realised that you´re using my dream toolbar: users can only edit their profiles and post new topics via the frontend.
Is that a native function and i loose something? How can I achieve that?
I´ve read also a thread regarding the possibility of users upload their avatars via the frontend but in case of using jetpack with gravatars on i guess i´l be ok, isn´t it?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Oh, so it is in fact a different version than the current release. I assume the sidebar widgets are also new compared to current? I had asked a similar question the other day, but had no replies.
Is it anticipated that this new theme will be released with bbPress 2.2?
Hi
Sorry! This is on my locale host server
Update if i uninstall BuddyPress all works perfect in bbPress. Seems BudtPress is redirecting bbPress to the wrong url.
Thanks James
Hi –
I’m having some trouble with Cubepoints and bbPress. It looks like no one gets any points when they comment on or create a new forum topic. Any advice?
Thanks,

Hello all. I am a complete newbie here so plz excuse me if I ask a totally naive question.
We have a test wordpress 3.4.2 multisite/subfolders:
http://multiroot.com, http://multiroot.com/site01, http://multiroot.com/site02, etc
The live site will also be using mapped domains: http://client01.com, http://client02.com etc
The multisite will be packed with plugins, themes and hopefully sites, 🙂
So, we want to have the bbpress v2.1.2 installed in a subdomain (separate single wordpress site) on a db of its own, handling all the bbpress plugins and themes. http://bbpress.multiroot.com
The question is this: Can we have users that log (in/out) to their sites be automatically logged (in/out) the bbpress forums as well and vice-versa?
If yes, how can we do it and what possible plugins (maybe) to use to synchronize this kind of behavior between the two databases?
Bonus question. After logging in could they create forum/s that can be linked to their sites -mapped or non mapped? (I don’t even know if this “sounds” right).
Thank you in advance,

I, like most people using BBpress, have had an issue removing the sidebar from my new BBpress forums. I tried editing template files, adding files into my theme’s root, commenting our sidebar commands and whatever else has been recommended on these forums. Not to say those don’t work – I just couldn’t figure them out which is most likely due to my complete lack of php knowledge. I’m posting this for those of you like me, who have no idea how to do those fancy things.
Here’s how I removed my sidebar:
First, I copied over the CSS folder from my BBpress plugin folder /bbp-theme-compat to my theme’s root folder. (From your server root it should be wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/)
Then, I found the CSS class my theme was using to design the main content of my wordpress blog (should be a style.css file in your theme’s folder). Mine happened to be #main_content. Next, I found the the sidebar CSS in my theme’s style.css file which was simply #sidebar.
Note: I found the CSS class by right clicking the main content area of my website (where posts show) and selecting “Inspect Element”.
After finding those I created BBpress specific classes and pasted those into the bbpress.css file now located at {you_theme’s_root}/CSS/bbpress.css.
Here’s what I pasted in:
.bbPress #sidebar {
width: 0px;
display:none; }
.bbPress #main-content { width: 940px; !important }
Most likely you won’t need the sidebar’s width attribute but I added it in just in case.
And finally, after hours of trying to figure this out I went to my BBress forums page to discover that the forums fit perfectly into my theme without any sign of a sidebar.
I hope this helps!
I’m new to bbPress, using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2. What I’d like to know is how I can add metadata to each forum. For example, I want to show a description for a forum in the forums list. Is there a way to enable this with bbPress, or a plugin that does it?
Has anyone found a working solution to this? I’m considering migrating my WordPress plugin support from comments on a WP post / page onto a bbPress forum (so the history is searchable). If such a thing doesn’t exist, I’d need to create it, because the history is what’s really valuable.
I had a quick look at the basic format and it doesn’t look all that complicated. Each forum, topic, or reply becomes a new entry in wp_posts with some extra metadata stored in wp_postmeta for things like the commenter’s name, email, url, and IP. I reckon the core logic would be pretty straightforward, my biggest question is how to kick off the import process.
Anyone with development experience interested in collaborating? Or got any existing code to share?
This might be relevant, although it’s really about converting an entire WP blog into a bbPress site I think?:

Any luck finding a solution for this? It’s something that I’d probably need before switching to bbPress from existing WordPress comments.
It uses a custom built theme. The theme will be released to the public at some point in the future.
Any idea when the theme directory might be back in business?
In the meantime, is there somewhere one can search for such things? I tried bbpress in the wordpress.org theme directory but that didn’t throw up very much.
ok
Tell me please https://bbpress.org/forums dont use theme ?
I can’t load your site at all.
The theme that runs this site is going to be released at sometime in the future. Once it is, you’ll be able to simply activate the theme.
Because it is specific to your theme, probably the best thing you can do is contact Jason (your theme’s developer) and see if he can provide specific directions. He has worked with bbPress quite a bit recently so I expect he’ll be able to at least help with that part: http://support.themeblvd.com/
Hello friends,
My name is Celal From Turkey.i want to use bbpress forum on the my website.i am beginner for the bbpress.How can make mysite that bbpress.org/forums ? just like same. Help me please.thank you
Hi Lynq, thank you for this code! I would have never figured this out on my own.
I have a question. I’ve pasted these functions into my bbpress-functions.php and called the custom forum list function in my single-loop-forum.php file but for some reason I keep getting a parse error telling me that there was an unexpected T_Public. Do you know how I would fix this? Is there a certain place in the bbpress-functions.php file I’m supposed to paste that code?
Thanks for the help!
Update- I just added: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my functions.php page in the child theme and it didn’t make any difference, I’m still looking for a fix… any advice would be appreciated.
I converted my Xenforo forums (no mods in the xenforo) to Invision Power Board, then tried to convert them to bbPress but I’m getting an error while converting and it stops. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘posts.post_title’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(posts.pid USING “utf8”) AS pid,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.ip_address USING “utf8”) AS ip_address,convert(posts.author_id USING “utf8”) AS author_id,convert(posts.post_title USING “utf8”) AS post_title,convert(posts.post USING “utf8”) AS post,convert(posts.post_date USING “utf8”) AS post_date,convert(posts.edit_time USING “utf8”) AS edit_time FROM ib_posts AS posts WHERE posts.new_topic = 0 LIMIT 0, 80
Update- I deleted and reinstalled the child theme and copied back over the bbp-twentyten files into the child folder as according to these directions: https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ however I’m still having issues with the theme working with bbP… for some reason my password field turned white on all my pages from an original dark theme setting (though the login field stayed the same), and I can’t figure out how to format the colors and background to my forum page to stay with the original theme settings: http://ouyagamingsource.com/forums/ including maintaining the tables, sidebars and colors of the other pages. I’m wondering if it can be done by bypassing some of the twenty-ten commands on the bbpress-functions.php file I copied to the child? I’m not much of a PHP expert so this is a little complicated.
Is this still being developed? It’s been a while since any updates or responses. I’d like to use this rather than pay someone to convert Xenforo.
