I’ve set this widget to display 20 topics, but no matter what it only displays 5. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Is there a plugin for this yet, or can anyone confirm if timskii’s code still works? I really would like the bbPress profile to be the only profile non-administrative users can access.
I would also like to know how I can migrate my forum from localhost over to my wordpress site. It’s the 2.02 plugin version of BBPress, and it only has a few categories and topics, but I need to know this information for a presentation I am giving in my class in a few weeks.
As for the themes, I have a heavily modified wordpress theme now, and I can see how to edit the bbpress files manually, but i will try to do it using the showcase at the site above… if it’s possible.
Ok, I think I ran into a snag.
My WordPress/BuddyPress site is HEAVILY modded with plugins. I use a RocketTheme theme that runs off of the Gantry Framework along with Gantry-BuddyPress (which allows BuddyPress to be compatible with the RocketTheme and Gantry Framework.)
The bbPress plugin worked, but only partially. The Forum page set up by bbPress is visible but instead of seeing the “directory” of forums it shows:
Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion SO? what now? 1 1 26 mins Admin
It’s all just plain text with no links. But, the forum I made for General Discussion is viewable when I go to the forum page it made.
For reference, here are the demo page links:
http://bp.daevas.com/forums/

I still have to edit the .css to match the theme design, but I wanted to find out what was wrong with the default forums page and why it wasn’t showing up correctly.
Thanks and hope you can help.
@johnjamesjacoby – (Sorry for not posting directly on the trac ticket, I can’t seem to login there)
1) The link should hopefully include the correct page and anchor link to bring them directly to the right comment
2) If the user has more than one notification and the notification menu brings them onto their activity page instead, those should also link correctly as stated above.
(Although it would be fantastic if up to 5 forum @mentions could be shown in the notification menu before grouping them into 1)
3 more tickets to go for 2.1! Thanks
Hello all,
This is my first time here. My bbpress install went fine on a wordpress site thats exists for a while now. I was able to log in to …/bb-admin and edit options.
Next, I changed the cookies as described in the process to match those of wordpress.
I saved the changes & got logged out.
Now I am unable to log in to …/bb-admin and it says “admin” is not a user.
Appreciate any help,
S Ram
jjj has committed a fix. If you update your 2.1 install everything should be good. Again, thanks for reporting the bug.
I have sent them an email, but no response. Was hopefully looking for a suggestion for a plugin that plays nice with BBpress.
I just tested it and you are right! Seems to be screwy when using the numeric permalinks.
We’re going to look into that. I definitely appreciate you coming back and posting about the problem you encountered – this will help us make 2.1 as solid as possible when it is released publicly 
I think it has to do with the permalink style. I had numeric permalinks before. If i Change it to “post name” permalinks i think the original code works.
Hmm, I’ll ping @jjj about this, however it seems to be working for me (the original method).
Copy everything from /bbp-theme-compat into your active theme directory. Once that’s done bbPress should detect it (in 2.1 that is) and use that instead!
I find where is the prob
It s my theme, I use elegant themes and
In ePanel there is an option in
General Settings >>> General tabs
Number of Posts displayed on Archive pages
before limit is set to 5 I put 50 and bbpress works All Forum appear in list and get_posts() recover all post
But is NOT a fix . 
So if someone have a solution ?
I also posted on elegantthemes forum support.
I have just created a bbpress forum using the bbpress plugin. I also use the Network Publisher plugin. This plugin posts to twitter and facebook whenever a new post on my website happens. The problem is that it also posts when a post on my bbpress forum happens. Is there a way to make it where it doesn’t act like a normal post or does anyone know if there is a different plugin I can use that doesn’t automatically post and requires you to manually add the option on each post? I just don’t want my website’s twitter and facebook post every time a bbpress topic is posted. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks!
I’m struggling with the new theme support in bbPress 2.1-dev. My goal is to modify the original bbPress theme and include it into my regular WordPress child theme (wp-content/themes/halftone-child) which is derived from Halftone theme (wp-content/themes/halftone).
I failed to figure out which files at which location I have to copy/modify in order to reach my goal. Things seem to change in every version (1.x/2.0/2.1), and it is hard to find information/documentation. Didn’t find anything in the forums (and yes, I read http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility and http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-21-theme-compatibility).
So my question is:
Which files from the current 2.1-dev, available under http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3769/branches/plugin?old_path=%2F&format=zip do I need to achieve my goal? Where do I have to copy them?
Okay, i got it working and it’s awesome! (although a bit buggy)
After backing up the bbpress folder, I basically left the existing bbpress plugin running and activated, and just copied the 2.1 plugin contents into the existing plugin folders.
One bug i caught is that there is no beginning slash for the “EDIT” Link in topics for the admin, so I went in the code and added that.
This change was made in bbp-topic-template.php at line 2199
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );
i changed it to
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . ‘/’. $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );
Ok
I find something but I don’t know if is good to do like that .
In function.php add this :
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘add_my_stylesheet’);
function add_my_stylesheet() {
$myStyleFile = get_theme_root_uri() . ‘/myTheme/mybbpress.css’;
if ( (is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ )) ) {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘myStyleSheetsi’, $myStyleFile);
}
}
Create a file in your theme mybbpress.css :
div.bbp-breadcrumb, h1.title{
display:none;
}
Just to notice, all changes is for first page forum only(http://mysite.com/forums) if you want to make changes on all your forums pages replace
if ( (is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ )) ) {
by
if ( (is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ ) || is_singular( array( ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’ ) )) ) {
I tried is_page_template(‘bbpress.php’) or is_page(35) etc… (a lot I tried :p)
but don’t work.
hi jaredatch ,
The reason it’s not holding back Vanilla is because while Vanilla doesn’t have a good wysiwyg editor by default, it has good, working ones
which are easily installed through plugins.
BBpress 2.0 currently does not. It doesn’t even support bbcode natively.
Anyways, I do appreciate your suggestion — this functionality is very important so im willing to experiment with a pre release version of bbpress.
I’ve downloaded the bbpress plugin you pointed to and backed up my existing bbpress plugin folder.
Now, how do i install this bbpress 2.1 without breaking my existing bbpress 2.0 forums?
Hi Patricia
I did that, but the problem I have is bbpress automatically creates a page at the same url that overwrites my WP Page. If I go into the bbpress settings and change the forums base to say ‘forumsbb’ then I end up with two forums, one at /forum and one at /forumbb, which I want to avoid.
I must be doing something wrong!
Regards
EB

There is nothing out of the box, no.
You would need to create a new bbPress theme from scratch that is heavily customized. However it’s certainly do-able.
Hi @Everton
not sure I understood you correctly, and maybe you solved that since last week …
well I wanted the same thing (insert the bbpress forum index, in a standard WP page), thus thought I could insert a shortcode to call the forum, in a normal page
I created a page called “forum” (whatever you want there) and inserted [bbp-forum-index] in it,
all the available shortcodes are listed here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
cheers
I want my forum to look like this http://roosterteeth.com/forum
Is there a theme/plugin that would allow me have my forums look like this? I can edit the source files of bbpress, so if you have a suggestion about doing that, I’m all ears. I have a basic understanding on PHP, so it shouldnt be a problem. Thanks!
Hey there, I’m trying to work on a forum for a friend of mine who’s not very computer literate but I’m having just as much trouble understanding it all!
I’ve tried changing themes on my BBpress forum but the .zip files won’t upload, even though it says:
“Install a plugin in .zip format
If you have a plugin in a .zip format, you may install it by uploading it here.”
after I try upload one it says:
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed”
This is absolutely doing my head in. Not only that, but getting a simple forum page up is much harder than I thought it would be. To see what I mean, check out our forum as it is now:
http://www.pets-ponies.com
So my question is:
Would someone (with more experience than us) kindly log-in to our admin page and quickly whip up a basic forum? I’ve got all the page/topic names or titles I want up there (in my head at the moment), I just can’t figure it out!
In need of some help bigtime!
Cheers! Paul
Hey guys, just a thought – is it possible to convert BBPress 2.0 threads and posts back to v1.X in any way?
