Hi
My blog is presently running a bbPress forum based on bbPress TwentyTen theme.
Can I somehow add functionality to it to run another forum using bbPress Kakumei theme/style?
My blog with bbPress 2010 theme/style:http://richard-dickinson.com/
Example site running bbPress Kakumei theme/style:http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/bbpress/
Grateful for helpful replies many thanks
Hi! My BBPress is working fine, this is more a question on what is possible to do. I would like to have a restricted forum only accesible by me and my coworkers. That is, they can only access it when they log in as for example editor or coworker. Is there any way to achieve this or anything similar?
Also, what kind of forum is this one we are using now? I can see its the same as in WordPress.org.
Thank you,Lautaro.
Hi there everyone,
I am new to bbpress and am currently developing my latest project (a premium forum skin / themes project).. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any feedback / thoughts.
(1) – Is it possible to display certain forums / categories to certain user-groups ? I would like to hide / make private forums for customers so only they can see their threads / staff replies.
(2) – How and where do i start editing css to blend the forums to match my website / can i create a custom bbpress style (if so how ??) Really in need of some help here.
A huge thanks in advanced for any help here, i am really looking at implementing this asap, currently weighting up using bbpress or a 3rd party script like Xenforo or something similar however the more scripts i need to bridge the messier / more long term work will be required (updates etc).
Regards, Darren
If anyone can give me an answer I would really appreciate it, preferably one of the main programmers of bbpress.
Thanks
Robert
Bytes exhausted is most likely due to a “bad” plugin, something else other than bbPress of course. Please see our Theme Reviewers List and see last couple of answers about that: https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-March/008625.html
This was about the Theme, but it can apply to plugins as well.
P.S. Using bbPress on my client site and they’re on a shared GoDaddy hosting and bytes exhausted was never an issue and that’s because there are no plugins that “eat” the memory.

Just noticed that I said twentytwelve (WP theme), it’s of course twentyeleven…
I have managed to use the sidebar login widget plugin and direct users to a nicely formatted user profile page. But clicking on a bbpress member name in a post still brings me to a profile page, that shows bbpress stats, and that is not properly stuled. The user information can be accessed and edited directly with a direct URL even if nobody is logged in at the site in a different browser.
I notice here in this forum that users are linked to their own websites, or other custom pages, how is this done?
OK-I figured this out and have fixed it-all sorted.
It is a little confusing but I will try and explain how I think this now works for me.
I have some confusion between BuddyPress forums and bbPress forums on my blog (the blog is enabled for both bbPress and BuddyPress but I have not been able yet to run both BP & bbP forums together? Is that even possible?.
Anyway for now I only want to run bbPress forum and I have disabled BuddyPress discussion forums).
So the bbPress archive slug I originally had was ‘forums’ & that was adding to the whole BuddyPress / bbPress confusion! So I deleted that forum (trashed it) and changed the bbPress archive slug to forums_bbp and have now made a new forum page and topic and now the links are fine and the content displays!
I hope now I am getting to grips more with bbPress forums and I can start to use them more on my blog. After I get more experience with them I may try my hand with BuddyPress forums & possibly later try running both forums on my blog?! I will see (maybe it is not possible-but the docs say can run group & sitewide forums together?).
Best wishes to all bbPress users (& BuddyPress users)
Hi

The page link on my blog is http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/
(theme is a bbPress child theme)-grateful for helpful advice/replies-thanks
Hi guys,
can you tell me how to remove the sidebar only at the forums?
I’m using my own theme (not bbpress theme).
I tried to create a new site with “full site, no sidebars” template but it do not work.
thanks
sorry about my bad english
Hi, I’m wondering how to get rid of the link and the following counting of the posts (simply nothing only the text needed, s.th. like “the following forums are for this and that”). I need to use the headline as a headline/description for the following forums. I need to design this to have it a little bit more sorted.
Hi. I’m a newbie and I’m wondering how to install a (and which) Avatar-plugin. Or do I simply need a WP-Avater-Plugin and it will run autom.?
Hi All
I have a multisite installation (3.3), and have bbpress installed (2.0.3) and buddypress (1.5.6).
I want to open one area for few forums. only the site admin can open new forums, but everyone, including members without blogs, can write there. and some of the users can be managers of forums.
Is it possible?
what is the best practise?
will upgrading to WP 3.4 will help?
Thanks in advance
Hello experts i m new in bbpress forum.
So i studied a lot of articles and reviews by bbpress users.
I am using version1.1 stand alone version
and 000webhost (free hoisting)
But in installation (step3)
I am unable to see success after lots of attempts.
I think its key master username that is creating problems. every time i finsh installation error appeared.
Plz Plz Plz experts help me.
I m eagerly waiting to use bbpress customized forum.
I found it wasn’t a matter of which CSS tag to use. WordPress uses the CSS file from inside wp-includes/js/tinymce and it overrides your style. I assume that’s because tinymce should ignore your theme in the backend and just look the same regardless of theme in the backend.
But this poses an issue with bbpress using tinymce on the front end.
Personally, I around this by following this tutorial:

Hi Martin,
if you are using the default bbPress, then in most cases the CSS indicated will work. The only exception would be, with some themes, that you may have to also (or instead) make the #content area 100% width as well. Also, in some themes you have the #aside as well (or instead) of the #sidebar.
As I don’t know what theme you are using (link?), please use firebug to identify the element ID or Class that is surrounding the bbPress DOM elements.
Hi, my forum address is http://hinduismfacts.org/hindu-forum. I am using wordpress version 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.3.
When I or any user try to post a topic or a reply on the forum, the following error occurs.
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies. Try Again.
The user has to log in again or use back button to go to forum then.
But surprisingly, topic gets posted.
Please help.
The CK Editor for WordPress won’t allow captions on images, and will break posts that have captions. So, I can’t use it on my site.
I’m back to square one with my initial issue. I can’t theme the TinyMCE editor used by bbPress now. Can someone point me to what CSS tags I should use?
Is it even possible? I have a Mingle Forums install, but I want to switch to something like bbPress because Mingle development has stalled some year plus ago. I’ve got security worries and compatibility issues mounting, and want to switch to something better.
But I would MUCH rather not have to lose everything from my present forums. Am I fresh out of luck?
FYI about Genesis theme compatibility.
When you do decide to upgrade to bbPress 2.1 you will need to use a plugin.
Genesis compatibility was removed from bbPress 2.1 and is now wrapped in a plugin (below). The plugin also provides some other fixes the 2.0.x compatibility doesn’t.

Have successfully integrated bbpress 2.0.3 into twentytwelve responsive theme that was updated with WP 3.4. (Had to start again, as WP 3.4 broke another theme.) I am using it with WPMU Membership plugin and that works too. The membership is private, access to the forums shows up in the menu when a user has logged in, members are added manually.
The one thing I have not been able to do is to format (CSS) the bbpress user profile/account page. And if I enter a full path to a user account into a new browser that has no users logged in their information shows up and can be edited!!! (example: http://mysite.ca/forums/neighbours/test-user/)
This is a cross post with WPMUDEV, as their membership plugin is involved, but I am asking if there is something I can do with bbpress files to make the profile pages more secure and properly styled. Can I somehow forward the user profile to a page I can format better? Please advise. The security issue troubles me most.
I am looking for a button bar editor plugin for bbPress, for posts. I have a lot of people posting on my forums that do not have familiarity with hashing bbcode / html manually into a post, so I would like to find a nice button bar / editor plugin for posting. Unfortunately it looks like the BBcode Wysiwig Editor has gone sour as it is throwing errors whenever I try to activate it.
Are there any others out therE?
Hello,
I installed bbPress no admin in a WordPress 3.4 site, I created a test user (Subscriber) and still does take the user to WordPress backend. There is anyway to troubleshoot this plugin?
Thanks,
After screwing around with various options for permalinks and for the location and links for my forums, I have decided, once again, that it is best to hack up the archive-forum.php. In fact, I think this very page should be completely changed to allow you to choose whether you want to display the forums archive there, or if you want to use the wordPress page editor to display shortcodes or whatnot. This should be an option in the bbPress settings.
This would solve pretty much everyone’s problems with permalinks and breadcrumbs, and I think it would be easy to do.
