Take a look in form-reply.php/form-topic.php/form-forum.php templates.
If your going to edit any of these I suggest you copy them to your theme folder so you don’t edit the core files and will not lose any custumizations you get bbPress updates.

@capsx Those are phpBB ‘magic_url’ and phpBB by default will truncate/shorten all URL’s to 55 characters. It does this so there are not extremely long URL’s in posts. eg. This URL is 63 characters in length, phpBB will leave the ‘href’ in tact but shorten the displayed URL to 55 characters.
<a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a>
phpBB SQL DB stores this in the posts table with the following code
<!-- m --><a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a><!-- m -->
There is more info on ‘magic_url’ here and here.
Thanks for posting your example code above.You may also want to look at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

Using WordPress 3.4.1 and bbPress 2.1.2.
Ever since I began using bbPress, about two years ago, one thing has driven me up the wall– the forums root, or forums index, or forums archive– whatever you want to call it. It’s the page that you land on when you go to the forums, the page that you get to when you click the root page “Forums” in the breadcrumbs, the same “Forums” link after “Home” in the breadcrumbs. No other forums system except bbPress uses a slimmed-down, so-bland-it’s-not-worth-looking-at template for the root of their forums like the Forums Index.
I tried several ways to make the root page of the forums look like a Single Forum page, in all its not-slimmed-down glory:
- Rename the Forums Base on the settings page to “forums-index” and use a WordPress page with “[bbp-single-forum id=####]” in it for the landing page of my forums. This, however, still keeps the breadcrumbs link, “forums”, linking to the Forums Index. Since I can’t figure out how to change that link, this method doesn’t work.
- Edit content-archive-forum.php so that it displays the content of my WordPress page with “[bbp-single-forum id=####]” in it, and nothing else but the site header and footer and whatnot. Having a custom Forum Index page like this would be ideal, but for some reason it glitches out, displaying like the normal Forums Index, but with the entire forums index, including all categories, under a single category header. For every new single-forum shortcode you add to show another forum, it just repeats what the first shortcode did, too.
- I could rename the forums base to “forums-index” like said before, and redirect “forums-index” to my WordPress page, but it’s a little ridiculous that I would have to rely on something as sloppy as a redirect hack…
Somebody please help me figure out what I can do. Every other forums out there shows their forums index in what bbPress calls “single forum” view. I just want to do that with bbPress too.

This problem isn’t solved. I’m using bbPress 2.1.2 now, and I can’t, for the LIFE of me, find any way to make it so that “content-archive-forum” looks like “content-single-forum”. Or make it so that the breadcrumbs root, “forums”, just goes to a page of my choosing, ignoring “content-archive-forum” altogether. I wish content-archive-forum just looked like content-single-forum to begin with. That would solve ALL my problems!
This is getting real old. It is, and has always been, the one thing ruining bbPress for me…
I installed bbpress today and I am using the lastest WP and there is no bbpress pages for me to choose from to attach the page to the forum?
No matter what i tried i can’t seems to get this works on my websites, i have installed it and name it discussion on my Website here and also am doing everything i can to add it on one of my partner authority site University News i hope someone out there help me out.
i think you did what you were supposed to. i remember having to do something similar having graduated from 1.2 to 1.5 buddy press which was the first version to support bbpress integration

@jmperu you need to have your hosting provider up your php memory limit.
I don’t understand. Do you mean here at bbPress.org? If not, and you mean the bbPress software, it’s using whatever WordPress core uses.
also, breaking that I experience earlier was more a problem with my theme and buddypress 1.6. I’ve got it all up to date now so it all seems to be working so I’m focusing this thread back onto the video embed issue.
Finally had a chance to upgrade and test this. New version is working well across the board, but the auto-embed feature doesn’t seem to be working.
All I get are normal active links instead of the embedded video. Tried with Flickr and long links from Youtube. Could this be a plugin conflict? I don’t know how it works internally so I’m not sure how to start troubleshooting it.
when I install in wordpress bbpress with BuddyPress I get this errorFatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in on line 1056
also btw – in the bbpress is bug in link parsing:
link:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N02/sets/72157630105769752/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N ... 105769752/</a>
is parsed to:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N02/sets/72157630105769752/"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N">http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N</a> … 105769752/
I have the bbpress login widget on the forums pages of the site. After pressing the login button it redirects me to the previous page I was on and does not stay on the current page.
Is this a bug or is it by design? I think this is set in bbp_redirect_login in bbp-user-functions.php. Do you know what I need to change to get it to stay on the current page?
Thanks in advance
netweb, thanks for sharing a screenshot of your forum page. You asked:
> Do you have any other plugins enabled or custom functions for your> theme that could be conflicting?
I think I partially figured out the problem. I’ve been using a Child theme of Twenty Eleven theme. After reading your post, I switched to the original Twenty Eleven theme, added a widget to the bbpress sidebar and now I see this:
View post on imgur.com
View post on imgur.com
For those who haven’t clicked the links, I see the bbPress sidebar!
Now how can I figure out why my Child theme is not showing the bbPress sidebar???? 🙁
Here it is here for me http://imgur.com/a/mW7LM#3
WordPress 3.4.1 – bbPress 2.1.2 – bbPress WP Tweaks 1.2
Do you have any other plugins enabled or custom funtcions for your theme that could be conflicting?
OK.. no need for a plugin.
JJJ’s default theme compat stuff first searches for a bbpress.css file in the theme’s css directory —
So, a workaround is to simply copy the bbpress.css from the theme-compat folders into a css folder in your theme, and then edit that file.
In my previous post, I linked to images hosted by imageshack, but imageshack has blocked the images from showing up.
I’ve re-uploaded the images to imgur. Here’s a post with revised links.
I made sure that index.php was chosen as wrapper in bbpress WP tweaks setting (screenshot here).
I added some bbpress widgets into the bbpress sidebar (screenshot here).
But I still don’t see any widgets or sidebars on any page on our website (screenshot here).
In my next post, I’ll post a response to netweb.
Closing this; it’s old news now, and we’re on to the next batch of enhancements.
Give this plugin a try if you only want to do some CSS tweaks.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/
If you do want to go down the custom templates route https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
You should add this to the codex showcase page.
You can stop bumping this. I don’t know what “proper attention” means to you, but I can’t look at it any more than I already am. If it’s critical to you and your site, dive into the code and start fixing things.
Not a bbPress problem. Looks like your theme is a child theme of BuddyPress’s bp-default, and it uses hardcoded relative paths in its @import rules. Any number of things could be going wrong here, but it wasn’t updating bbPress that caused this to happen.
I want to do something as simple as override a few bbPress CSS selectors.
I make the mods in my theme stylesheet, but they have no effect as bbPress is injecting it’s CSS after the theme stylesheet.
Are there any instructions on how to achieve this really basic step?
It’s a fairly default bbPress install (site wide) on a BuddyPress site. Have selected the bbPress default theme package: /plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat option in wp-admin
