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

Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.
The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it. 
Absolutely. Unfortunately most theme authors just don’t want to put in the time to make it “bbPress ready” out of the box.

That is kindof what I am asking.
Are themes allowed to “support” bbPress and other custom pages?
unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.
Downloaded a zip file from:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.
Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.
However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1 
What is the name of the new folder you are moving into the plugins directory. What’s inside it.
Sometimes it may unzip as bbpress-r238787/bbpress/ so I just wanted to make sure that’s not the case.
Inside the folder should be all the normal contents of bbPress. It should work fine on multisite without any issues.
I don’t think bbPress is doing this.
What plugins are you using?
Just delete the bbpress directory in your plugins folder and replace with the new one. You don’t need to do any uninstalling in WordPress, no.
