@miguelcortereal I have the same WP 3.4.1, BP 1.6.1, BBP 2.1.2 setup and am not having a problem with bbpress activity showing up on the activity stream. Could it be a theme or plugin conflict?

Here the same, Buddypress activity stream doesn’t pull forum activity.
I’ve already posted this issue at Buddypress Forums and @Paul Gibbs advised to post here too once that bbpress handles all integration with Buddypress.
I’m using:
WP 3.4.1
Buddypress 1.6.1
bbpress 2.1.2
I google and not able to find a good Recent Bbpress posts plugin for my wordpress site.
I found this Dashboard Forum Activity, looks great! It comes with poster’s name and avatar!
However, it is limited to dashboard only!!!
Can someone please tell me how can I make use of the function and put it at my sidebar?
Thank you.
I want to switch from 10 years old forum to bbPress.
This forum is only in german language.
Do you have any translation plugin or let me how to translate it?
To my knowledge, this feature isn’t available at the moment. I am trying to round up fellow bbpress forum owners to contribute to a plugin made for this purpose. Please read more on this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-view-unread-posts-plugin/

I’m having the same problem as outlined here:
bbPress 2.1 -Can't do anything except for posting a topic & reply in group forum
Editing group form posts in Buddypress 1.6.1 works well, same with editing sitewide forums in bbPress 2.1. But once you combine them, you can’t edit group forum posts.
It’s a known issues now:

Hope they’re able to come up with a solution very soon
Hello
bbpress forum does not display in the new beddypress. What should I do? Please Help. Thanks.
Hello, and thank you in advance for your assistance. I’m sure I’ve probably messed up a setting somewhere along the line, so I appreciate your patience.
I’m running WP 3.4.1
bbPress 2.2-bleeding
buddypress 1.6.1
My issue is I can create a group and make a post in the forum, but the post can’t be viewed and can’t be replied to.
So if I click Groups
Create a group
Enter in group name and group description
Click “Create group and continue”
“This is a public group” and “all group members” (allowed to invite) are checked
Click “next step”
Make sure box is checked on “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.”
Click “next step”
Skip avatar
Click “finish”
When I click on the forums tab within the group, it allows me to create a new topic and enter a topic description.
Topic shows up on the forum tab
It allows me to click the topic title to view it.
But, when I click the topic from the forum page it only lets me view the topic title and the description is missing. Also, and equally frustrating, there are no options to reply to the topic.
To summarize, I can create a group and make a post in the forum, but the post can’t be viewed and can’t be replied to.
Thank you again for your help
I have spent this evening by trying to install the “bbpress threaded replies” plugin. No success. I am not able to see “reply to” link in replies.
Is some here able run it on 2.1. bbpress plugin version? Pls send a link just to see how it works. Or… just place the code what has to be modyfied to make this threaded plugin running… Thanks a lot.
Thanks John, I will post this to the Woo Forums.
I think I’m seeing a related issue as described at this thread:
Really, really odd behavior with sticky posts
The most prolific user in my forum will make a post which seems to want to make itself a draft after a couple of days. It’s quite odd. Once I go in and “Publish” the topic again, it starts behaving normally. What the heck?
I’m having quite a weird bug appear on me with bbPress, and wanted to see if anyone had anything similar occur to them.
So, I have a forum with 4 sticky topics. Every week or so, we’ll get one of those topics just vanish from the top of the front page (the ‘sticky’ position). This has happened so often that we’ve adopted a term for it — the topic has “gone rogue”.
The weird thing is that the topic still shows up in the forum, just way further down in it’s chronological place. It’s still styled as a sticky topic, with the different background and all, it’s just not in the right spot.
Furthermore, when viewing the ‘rogue’ topic in admin, it shows up as a Draft, “Pending Review”. Re-publishing the topic fixes the problem and puts the post back to the top of the page, but I’d obviously like to get this ironed out before the forum grows further.
It’s like somehow a sticky topic (even closed ones) just decide to switch to a draft which drops them out of the sticky position..
Anyone seen this before, or can offer any insight?
I don’t think this should be a priority for bbPress. You’re doing the right thing by “outsourcing” it. But even that might be unnecessary. Most websites would be better served by adjusting to bbPress, not the other way around.
Those strongly opposed to change should simply consider options such as SimplePress, which follows the traditional (legacy imo) style of forum structure.
Maybe the teaching route is better than the development route in this case? An instructional blog post or codex page to ease people into bbPress’ new concepts could go a long way. That’s the Git approach for instance.
The default theme will go this route eventually.
Forums, are forums. If you want social network type features, you’ll need social network type software. BuddyPress is a plugin, just like bbPress is, though it’s a bit more demanding in how it integrates with existing sites and themes.
We’re working on making theme integration easier in the next major release of BuddyPress.
Hi John
I don;t understand? I have a wordpress site, using bbpress as a Forum (I don;t really get bbpress, is it just a forum?). I would rather not reinstall a whole new forum. I have a self hosted version of wordpress, creating a new site with buddy press is not an option for me (it’s a social network building block right?)
Surely there is Pm functionality for this forum?> It’s a forum!
Man I tried to post here ages ago. I can’t believe no one has replied
SoundCloud Shortcode
That’s a plugin for wordpress I use. Will work in the forum.
Firstly if you only see bbPress as a WordPress integrated forum software package in the traditional sense of what other forum software looks like then please step outside of that box, it is far more flexible and powerful than just that.
Take a look at how PostDesk have uniquely integrated forums into their site and check out in particular the ‘featured sites’ at https://bbpress.org/about/examples/ showing what can be accomplished with theming in bbPress.
That all said, I also see merit in having the option of a traditional forums hierarchical category sub-category forum layout for those who do want that feature/layout option available.
I have a few ideas already and would love to hear your ideas and feedback.
Cheers,
Stephen aka @netweb
Not sure what the answer to your question is, but for what it’s worth the Simple Local Avatars plugin works flawlessly with bbpress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
Have you taken over control of bbpress templates using theme compatibility? If so you can modify yourtheme/bbpress/loop-forums.php and remove the list item:
li class=”bbp-forum-freshness”
Next from yourtheme/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php remove the same section and its contents:
li class=”bbp-forum-freshness
Finally you’ll have to adjust the CSS of your forums to compensate the width of the remaining forum columns for the missing freshness. Hope this helps.
EDIT: sorry, I tried to post the exact code blocks to remove, but the forum here isn’t letting me embed the code 🙁
Adam,
This is definitely be possible. There’s a fair bit of work involved, but I re-wrote most of the bbpress templates from the ground up for my new site using the bbpress functions included in the plugin as well as a few custom ones I wrote myself.
Just install bbpress, set it to theme compatibility settings, then take over the css and template files in your theme directory.
CSS goes in yourtheme/css
Base bbpress page types go in yourtheme directory (archive-forum, archive-topic, single-forum, single-topic, single-topic-edit, single-reply-edit, and single-user are the most important ones)
All the sub-templates (content, loops, forms, and pagination) goes in yourtheme/bbpress
Using this as a general guide you can rebuild bbpress from the ground up to suit your needs. Check out my bbpress enabled theme at http://tamrielfoundry.com
Unfortunately I must get a functionnal forum in the few next hours/days.
So if I get no answer here, I’ll have to install another forum type (what I would regret because I like bbpress)
Please help !
Hello!
I am using the HTML5 Reset Blank Theme. I am creating a WordPress Theme from scratch….
I have two issues:
1). Can I use bbPress with an HTML5 theme?
2). After I active it, I really get lost from that point. Can anyone please tell me what the next step is? Because I am lost. When I do go to All Pages, I see at the bottum the name of the forum I had created. But do I do with it? I am lost.
