In our cafe, newer posts will show up, then somehow it keeps reverting back to a post that’s 35 days old, by the same person!
I finally just added a test reply to her post, so it would stop.
It’s only happening in the forum.
We just ported the whole thing over from vBulletin to bbpress and are obviously still working out the kinks. 
You’re going to have to FTP into your site in order to get to the file that you need to modify. The file that you need to modify is located under wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress which is one level lower than what you can access through the admin in WP.
Once you are inside the /bbpress directory explained above you’ll need to open loop-single-forum.php and follow the directions I posted in my first reply to you.
Unfortunately the plugin is only designed to work with bbPress 2.1 which currently is still in testing which is why it isn’t working for you. Was it working fine before the re-install today?
Also, something to note: just today, we uninstalled, then reinstalled the bbpress Genesis Extend plugin, because we cannot get it to work – or even show up anywhere.
It’s not under the Genesis menu or Genesis Settings. Not under WP Settings either.
Don’t know if that’s relevant, but thought I’d mention it.

Which version of bbPress are you using? You can check by going into Plugins in the admin and it should give you the info.
And sorry, I meant the files for bbpress above, in terms of where I was looking.
No that’s how I do it within the browser. Are you using the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin?
Go into your theme for bbPress and look for loop-single-forum.php. On line 24 you will see
<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>
Modify that line to look like
<?php bbp_list_forums( array ( 'separator' => '<br />' ) ); ?>
Thanks for posting this Information. bbPress must improve its documentation
This is plugin for import from “Simple Press forum” to bbPress-wp-plugin.
Please help make same, but for import to independent bbPress-forum.
It possible?
At least one example how i can write into the bbPress database?

Hi Jenna (Miniflowers), congratulations But my troubles with bbPress seem to be different: I never used Vbulletin or BuddyPress. As will_c wrote: the error occurs by changing the visibility.
We are also experiencing this same problem on our site. If we set a forum to “Hidden” and then make it “Public” later, none of the associated topics appear inside the forum. We’re using the bbPress 2.0 plugin with BuddyPress 1.5.2, but are using the bbPress standalone forums rather than group forums.
I’m going to investigate this over the next week or so and will post back if I find anything.
Just installed the bbpress 2.02 plugin on my site which is WP v3.3.1 – seemed to work ok but on trying to create a new topic (on the site i.e. as a user would) I get the following:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function akismet_test_mode() in /mypath/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 350”
Not really too sure of the etiquette or whatever of posting links or code but I though this was such a show-stopper that someone else would have come across it – but nothing to be found here or elsewhere… I am also aware that ‘test mode’ may be a major clue, but to what I really don’t know…
Thanks for any advice

I don’t know if this is of any help but to get what I did at SWNK (http://www.swnk.org/forums/) I added the following code to my functions.php:
function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {
// if ( bbp_is_forum() ) {
if (is_bbpress()) {
$sidebars_widgets = array(false);
remove_all_actions(‘bp_register_widgets’);
unregister_sidebar( ‘bp_core_widgets’ );
}
return $sidebars_widgets;
}
add_filter(‘sidebars_widgets’, ‘disable_all_widgets’, 1, 1);
Then I added some CSS to put the login widget above the forum.
This list needs to be updated, but some are here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/showcase/
You will need to do some custom development on your end. This isn’t implemented in core (at least not yet) because at the moment each theme/framework handles their layout options differently – so there is no easy way to cover them all.
You can probably use the code in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ as an example.
Basically you will want to check for is_bbpress() and if that comes back true then run your code that forces the full width layout.
Hoping someone here has the knowledge to help.
I’m using the bbpress plugin with buddypress/wordpress install. I installed the bbcode plugin to let users use bbcode in the forums. Everything worked great, but now when you insert a youtube video on the forum with the bbpress post toolbar, I get this error:
YOUTUBE
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/class_bbpress2-bbcode.php:268) in /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866
The video DOES POST, but this error comes up first and I need to get it removed and resolved. Also, above any youtube video, the word YOUTUBE shows up.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you so much,
-George

The forum is still WIP though, but I am liking how it is coming along
Hey guys,
I have been searching for this myself aswell, but couldn’t find anything anywhere.
If anyone is interested I modified the bbp_list_forums function to have a flag for freshness (last poster) to be displayed or not.
function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
// Define used variables
$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
$i = 0;
$count = array();
// Defaults and arguments
$defaults = array (
'before' => '<ul class="bbp-forums">',
'after' => '</ul>',
'link_before' => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
'link_after' => '</li>',
'count_before' => ' (',
'count_after' => ')',
'count_sep' => ', ',
'separator' => ', ',
'forum_id' => '',
'show_topic_count' => true,
'show_reply_count' => true,
'freshness_before' => '<td>',
'freshness_after' => '</td>',
'show_freshness_link' => true
);
$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
// Bail if there are no subforums
if ( !bbp_get_forum_subforum_count( $forum_id ) )
return;
// Loop through forums and create a list
if ( $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $forum_id ) ) {
// Total count (for separator)
$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
$i++; // Separator count
// Get forum details
$count = array();
$show_sep = $total_subs > $i ? $separator : '';
$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
$title = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
// Show topic count
if ( !empty( $show_topic_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
// Show reply count
if ( !empty( $show_reply_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
// Counts to show
if ( !empty( $count ) )
$counts = $count_before . implode( $count_sep, $count ) . $count_after;
// Show topic count
if ( !empty( $show_freshness_link ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
$freshness_link = bbp_get_forum_freshness_link( $sub_forum->ID );
$freshness_link = $freshness_before . $freshness_link . $freshness_after;
}
// Build this sub forums link
$output .= $link_before . '<a href="' . $permalink . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . $freshness_link . '</a>' . $show_sep . $link_after;
}
// Output the list
echo $before . $output . $after;
}
}
Let me know if you would like any help with I am currently customising my theme to work with it, you will need to add an extra th to your forum tables other you just have a blank in place.
Hope someone finds this helpful!
p.s. you can also specify a before and after in the arguments of bbp_list_forums.
All the best.
Lynq.
Me too. I want to be able to tell bbPress which layout in my theme to use. The default layout has a skinny column and 2 side columns. I don’t want this for the forum.
Hey Guys,
I am using the latest version of bbpress and I want to stop users to create topics.
Never mind! it is. I was looking too far down!
Same thing is happening with me. I installed and activated the plug in, but the forum and topics doesn’t show up in the dashboard. The settings can be accessed, but I don’t know if there is anything I need to change in that for the forum / topics to show up.
