Look through the WP.org repo (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress) – there are a few plugins that should help with this depending on what method you want to use (such as recaptcha etc).
What version of bbPress?
The best way to do it would be to make tweaks in your theme’s style.css that override the styles bbPress is using.
I’d recommend using Firebug (or similar) to track down the CSS.
If you are using bbPress 2.x you should be able to go to Settings > Forums and check ‘Allow Revisions’.
I know all the post revisions are stored in DB. I can get the revisions through bbp_get_topic_revisions( $post_id ) function. Just wondering whether there is any existing template implementation to allow users select a revision when editing a topic.
Thanks.
In what folder(s)/line(s) of code in bbpress files in my cPanel can I change the font size for the description of that particular forum thread or thread descriptions? I’ve searched this forum, but can’t find it anywhere using the search. Please help, as the descriptions of my forum/Topic titles are MINISCULE and will strain the readers eye. THANK YOU for your help!
Hello 
I have just received a response in German bbpress forum where you can change the date when an update does not always need to manually (except changing the class name or the bbpress WP Theme gets an update) …
In the wp-theme style.css add the following:
div.bbp-template-notice.info {display: none !important;}
This causes the system tray is no longer displayed in the forums and in the individual posts.
I hope this will help any other peoples
But I’m still on the search, the number of posts and the number of topics to delete (numbers in parentheses after the forum) – because you know a solution?
Thank you very much
There isn’t anything bbPress can do to make Akismet work any better. It’s just heuristics and monitoring. Akismet misses a ton of spam here on bbPress.org, too.
On the Super Cache front, some improvements went in, but I haven’t spent a lot of time with them together; you probably have more than I have.
Hi! We’re running bbPress 2.0.2 as a WordPress plugin.
Something with your theme is hardcoded to make that happen. Nothing bbPress can do about it if the theme takes over.
If you’re runing bbPress only then select “Forum Participant”. If you allow your user to post articles beside forums then choose between “Contributor” or “Author”.
Yeah I have tried the default forums and tried changing it to discussions then flushing the htaccess file but it still 404’s it works when the default wordpress permalink settings are used.
The site is helloecoliving.com (the clients host is very slow)
Thanks
In /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php
Remove the following lines:
// Topic has no replies
} else {
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This topic has %1$s, contains %2$s.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $voice_count, $reply_count );
}
And these lines:
// Topic has replies
if ( $last_reply = bbp_get_topic_last_active_id( $topic_id ) ) {
$last_updated_by = bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => $last_reply, ‘size’ => $size ) );
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This topic has %1$s, contains %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $voice_count, $reply_count, $last_updated_by, $time_since );
And also these lines:
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”bbp-template-notice info”><p class=”bbp-topic-description”>’,
You didn’t need to remove anything in bbpress.css, as the style it’s using is also used by the others.
This should do the job.
The default bbPress installation should be showing “Forums” instead of “Archives”.
Can you check for the presence of this line in bbpress.php below the line “$forum = array(“
‘name’ => __( ‘Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
Hello
In the German Forum bbpress unfortunately I found nothing about this problem … I want to delete the numbers behind the forum (post number / number of subjects). Where can I find this code?
Thank you in advance!
Does BBpress work with the default wordpress user registration? so if a user is all ready registered to my blog they can use the forum?
Do you mean you want a wysiwyg editor in bbpress such as TinyMCE? (Which include bold, italic, etc)
bbPress 2.0 does not comes with a wysiwyg editor. bbPress 2.1 do have a TinyMCE editor, although it’s still under development.
You can try this plugin Rich Text Editor For Comments or Basic Comment Quicktags
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
This is not an error. It only state that the bbPress is using the style that comes with bbPress, which is located in the bbp-twentyten.
“Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.”
The “bbp-twentyten” comes with the bbpress is not designed to be use as a theme. It’s just used to style the bbPress forum, not your entire website.
Do you mean you want the bbPress to appear in the mainpage (http://www.yourdomain.com) but not sub pages? (http://www.yourdomain.com/forums)
I don’t think you need to give me the admin login info. It’s just a few step:
Create a page with the following shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
Navigate to Setting > Reading in your dashboard. In the “Front page displays” option, select the page you created as front page. Now the forum should show up in the mainpage.
That’s it!
Did you change the forums base? (By default it’s “forums”)
Can you show me your website’s URL?
Do you mean the header with the words: “OVC BALL-NEWS AND ANALYSIS”?
None of the bbPress file pull the header from your site. They’re just using the templates in your theme, so it’s more correct to say that your theme template (header.php) is pulling the header. So there’s no easy solution for this unless you know how to modify & add the theme template files to output a function that showing different header when bbPress is present.

Thanks a lot sniperkitten. The futures from bbPress 2+ are exactly what I need, not the futures from the bbPress that comes with Buddypress. But there wouldn’t come a possibility that the group forums of Buddypress are compatible with bbPress 2+?
Sound confusing. I never see this problem before……
Are you able to access the missing forum directly? (By typing http://www.gizmonext.com/forum/example/)
bbPress 2.1 do have a “Group Forums” feature, where you can create a forums that’s specific to that groups that will show up in the bbPress list but not the Group Forums list that comes with BuddyPress . But keep it mind that it’s still under development.
Actually, the Group Forums comes with BuddyPress is also using the bbpress, just with some differences.
You can find it in /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php (I’m using bbPress 2.02)
Remove the following lines:
// Forum
else
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This forum contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $topic_count, $reply_count, $last_updated_by, $time_since );
and these lines:
// Forum
else
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $topic_count, $reply_count );
and also these lines:
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”bbp-template-notice info”><p class=”bbp-forum-description”>’,
You’ll need to remove those lines in bbpress.css (Assume I’m using bbp-twentyten, so the location is /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css):
div.bbp-template-notice.info {
border: #cee1ef 1px solid;
background-color: #f0f8ff;
}
This should remove the “this forum contains … topics… replies … ” while you still can see the “this topic contains … voices … replies… ” in each topic (Do you want to remove that too?)
Keep in mind that this is not a recommended way of changing the bbPress, as you’ll lose the setting when you perform an update (so you have to keep changing after each update), although there’s nobody to make such plugin to do that.

When will bbPress 2.0 integrate with Groups in Buddypress?
