Hi, what is the name of the bbpress.org demo theme? Use here: http://bbpress.org/forums/
Is it available to be used by others?
@netweb Ah crap, I just started importing it into my database. I will see what I can do…
Export the database but don’t import it into your WordPress database you are going to use, import the phpBB database is its own separate database as once the data is imported you will be able to remove/delete that database as it will no longer be needed (just make sure you do keep a backup).
Other than that it looks like you are good to go.
Thanks @netweb. From what you’ve said, I gather this is what I’m going to do:
- Export the current forum’s database, then import it into my own.
- Use the Tools>Forums>Import Forums.
- Repair the forums Tools>Forums>Repair Forums.
Wish me luck! I will report back to say how I went if this does ever help anyone else in the future.
You should export the entire phpBB database using from the current hosting provider and import it into your new hosting provider, remote migrations are not supported. Each of your hosting providers should have some documentation on how to import and export the MySQL database. You will not need to instal phpBB on your site to import the data, you only need the actual database.
This should also help https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
The ‘default’ phpBB MySQL table prefix is “phpbb_”
I am going to start importing the forum from the current phpbb3 site, which is on a different hosting account, to my site and I have a few questions.
- Do I have to export the database from the current forum and then import it?
- I am on the Tools>Forums>Import Forums page. When it says Database Server, what do I type in here?
- Table prefix – what do I write here?

This option I am pretty sure will not work in the way during the import that the topics and replies are matched to user ID’s, essentially during the import bbPress can not match the vBulletin (or any other forum) UserID to an existing WordPress user.
As for the other side of things I haven’t tried to do what you are trying to do with MultiSite though a quick test install locally to give it a run through different scenarios would be the best bet to see what the outcome is.
Hi Rob
I had a look on your forum and there are no css rules for any link elements which is strange. Try adding this into your css file:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb a { color: #F6AC2C; }
That should make the breadcrumb links go yellow (as an example). If that works you just need to populate the css file with all the link colours manually which you can find by digging around with the code inspector.
If you want to change all link colours quickly and lazily you could just target every link within bbPress like this
#bbpress-forums a { color: #F6AC2C; }
Hope this helps
Hi. All the info you need is here: Theme Compatability
The basics are that you need to make a wordpress theme with bbPress support, so try to think of it as a wordpress theme not a bbPress theme.
bbPress is very flexible and you can theme it in multiple ways, the best starting point is that link I provided.
Hope this helps
I figured out how to make a bbpress.phhp template to use as a wrapper and it seems to be working fine except on the profile pages. Any ideas? Here’s an example profile page: http://pintester.com/forums/users/pintester/
I’m trying to figure out how to install a new theme on bbPress. My bbPress is the plugin version.
In the plugin folder it says “Do not put custom themes here. They will be deleted on bbPress updates. Keep custom bbPress themes in /wp-content/themes/”.
For now I found no information ou theme to install for bbPress.

Wow, I wish I had known this earlier or I would not have installed bbpress.
I have three s2member roles ‘UK Member, UK Student, International Member’, which means I would have to make everyone in one of those groups a moderator 🙁
Back to the drawing board…
See this topic for your 1st problem:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/
I also added some code for you to add some code to your themes functions.php for your 2nd problem rather than hacking the core bbPress files:
how to display list of sub-forums on separate lines, instead of big blob?
(WP 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, http://riseaboveindiana.com)
When I as admin — or any subscriber — posts a reply to a forum, it displays the “You don’t have permission to do that!” error message, but the reply still posts to the forum. Anonymous posting and global access are allowed.
Here’s a subscriber username for testing:
ID: bbPress
Password: bbPress
Thanks so much for your plugin and the support you provide for your users!
Matt

Hi,
How can I remove the blue box that says “This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by admin 15 hours, 5 minutes ago.”, etc., using my theme? From what I can see, the code for that is in the wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-includes\bbp-forum-template.php file. How can I override that? Or do I just need to directly edit it?
Thanks.
Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I seem to be having the same problem. Looking at the HTML source, I do not see the wp-content/themes/mytheme/css/bbpress.css file being included at all.
Can you explain how you actually insert those login/register/lost passcode shortcodes? I’m trying to create a URI as well but I don’t know how to make my pages have those things.
Hi, I have multisite installation of wordpress with two sites.
I want to share the same forum between the tow sites.
But for each site bbpress save the forum in his own wp_2_post table and wp_3_post table.
I would like to save the data in the same table for both sites.
How to do it?
I don’t think you have to wait for integration. The plugin Pippin wrote works perfectly. If, in future it’s fully integrated into the bbPress plugin for WordPress, then we can drop the extra plugin, but this works great! I wouldn’t wait for integration.
p.s. This plugin is worth supporting & I appreciate your work, Pippin. Hope many people have donated to your time spent on this. I wish I could give more. Thanks again!
I don’t have the twentyten theme installed but you can find the location of the CSS using a code inspector (The built in Chrome one will do fine). Simply right-click the element in the web page, click inspect element and note the css location and properties.
From there you can manually overwrite the style in your own css file, or find the CSS file bbPress is using and edit it.
I can’t verify but i’m guessing the bbPress CSS for twentytwelve is here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/style.css
or
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css

Not the forum, but the topics in private forum are directly accessible by the topic URL.
Yes, the newest bbpress
