Hmm, I’m honestly not sure what is going on.
When you open the bbPress directory, does the inside look like this http://sht.tl/oBlq ?
You may need to tweak the permissions on the bbPress folder.
OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).
Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.
All the plugins on bbPress.org are for bbPress 1.0.
The plugins for bbPress 2.x go on WordPress.org.
Eventually the plugins listed here will be archived to help with the confusion 
Are there any god reputation plugin for bbpress 2.0.2 ?
Hello!
We have a site with bbpress plugin and a lot of functionalities, and the moderators/admin manage all them from admin panel because is easier to centralize everything in the admin.
When we have a new topic, usually we want to reply at the same time (we use bbpressmoderation). Now we have to read it in admin topics an then go to the reply admin, create a reply and choose the topic in the dropdown, but we have a lot of topics and this is hard to manage.
The other option we have is go to the frontend and reply there, but we lose a lot of options to embed, formmating, etc.
It would be nice to have a reply link in the edit topic panel that directly create a reply to this topic without having to go to the reply panel and select the topic from the long list of topics.
I think (but i’m not an expert) it could be easy to do but i’m lost in how to do it.
There is planned any similar funcionality in bbpress plugin?
or can someone guide me how to do this?
Thanks
hello. I’m usind bbpress1.1 which is integrated to my website worpress. I use a plugin “search terms 2” which enables me to see all the researchs on my search engine (exemple : http://joueur-malin.fr/pc/precommande-diablo-iii-edition-simple-et-collector/ on the bottom of the article). I would like the same think but for my forum. Do you know a plugin like that? thank you for your answers!
Wait, what version of bbPress are you using?
Hi thanks I have activated the plugin succesfully and this would be ideal, unfortunetly it does not show Settings > Limit Login Attempts and does not seem to take affect.
Is there any plugins like this which are native to bbpress?
It would be nice to put a “reply” button in topic list of admin panel, or a embed reply form in edit topic panel, and not have to go to the reply list and add a new one.
You can create an account without using your real identity, so I don’t think that should be an issue.
I *think* 2.1 is supposed to be a bit better with catching the spam.
Your main problem, like you said, is allowing guest posts.
Do you have akismet enabled?
Also I would use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/
This one works great with WordPress, not sure how it plays with bbPress but give it a try.
You will need to do it using FTP.
1. downloads zip from link
2. unzip (will be a folder called trunk)
3. rename trunk to bbpress
4. access website via ftp, delete current bbpress folder in wp-content/plugins
5. upload new one
Hmm, that’s weird.
I’m not really sure. The next thing I would do would be to activate TwentyEleven and disable all plugins except bbPress – that would at least let you know if the problem is with a theme/plugin being used.
Hmm weird. Try disabling all your plugins (except bbPress) and see if that works – there could be a conflict.
Theme should be ok, bbPress doesn’t typically have any issues with TwentyTen/Eleven
Page with all forums seems ok, but when i click on “Forum”, opens a page, that look as stantart page, not forum.
Just name and forum description

Whats wrong?
Theme – Twenty Eleven
Bbpress autoinstall
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I installed the latest version of WordPress, then used the ‘Plugins’ search to install BuddyPress, and then within the /Forums/ section I installed bbPress.
Everything is working wonderfully, except when anyone posts on the forums it doesn’t update their activity feed:
http://buddypress.p-h1.com/community/topic/this-is-my-first-topic/
And here is the admin activity page:
http://buddypress.p-h1.com/members/admin/
Is there anything I can do to fix this? It’s the one remaining piece of functionality I’d like to be working.
Does anyone know of a login logger for bbpress?
I want to log failed login attempts
Gotcha. I’m afraid this takes us back to my original question, though. Following your link above, I download the .zip file at the bottom of the page — it saves to my desktop as trunk-3822.zip. If I go in to “add plugin” in WP, and upload that .zip, I can’t find it in the plugin directory — nd the version of bbPress is still 2.0.2.
Do I need to do this in CPanel instead? Manually copy the files into the bbPress folder already there? Sorry if I’m being daft.
Thanks, Jared, was hoping you would answer! Is there a simple way to make the bbPress forum NOT be full-page width, and have my regular sidebar on the page? That’s the main thing I was hoping Genesis Extend would do, at least at this stage in the game. Need to show ads.
Well, with all the Spam that Forums get as well as allowing Anonymous posters to also post BUT get moderated, I (and many others) are having to use the plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
For my Relationships Forum, obviously people are more inclined to seek help when they’re not obliged to leave their public identities.
So this plugin leaves all Topics and Replies in a Pending and unpublished state.
The issue with Spam posts are these Spammers are also pumping the Tag with URLs or other rubbish.
From a logic point of view, Pending and/or Unpublished Topics/Replies shouldn’t affect anything for a Published Topic.
But they are. I’m seeing Published Topics losing already established Tags from unPublished and Awaiting Moderation Repies which, in my opinion, is a bbPress bug and certainly not a logical workflow.
2.1 can be downloaded by going to this page https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin and clicking download zip archive at the bottom of the page – is this the one you downloaded from earlier?
Keep in mind that 2.1 is not quite final (although stable from my testing) so it would be wise to do a backup before the upgrade if you are doing it in a production environment.
I’m actually the author of bbPress Genesis Extend. If you are using 2.0.x you actually dont need Genesis Extend (unless you want some of the new features) because bbPress 2.0.x has limited Genesis compatibility built into it.
You can post videos by use using the URL, just like you do in a WordPress post.
Just enable this in the settings (this is 2.1 only) http://sht.tl/GSr
Right now bbPress doesn’t ship with image upload capabilities, this might be worth a look https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ – I have not personally used it with 2.1 though.
This is actually something that is set by WordPress (since bbPress uses WordPress users).
You’ll have to do some digging, this might be a starting point
