Hey, thanks for the answer!! However, I did not installed BBpress messages so there is no setting for that. Thanks for the answer though :))
Shortcodes
Codex Home → bbPress Features → Shortcodes
Since Version 2.0 bbPress support so called Shortcodes. They have been introduced for creating macros to be used in the layout of your forum content on WordPress pages. To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.
To get the required numerical ID for $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id and $tag_id you will need to visit your /wp-admin/ section and either by editing the post or by hovering your mouse over the applicable forum/topic/reply/tag post type you will see a numeric ID for that post eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=47
Forums
[bbp-forum-index] – This will display your entire forum index.
[bbp-forum-form] – Display the ‘New Forum’ form.
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
Topics
[bbp-topic-index] – Display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.
[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.

Now i ‘ve done a rollback to version 2.5.14 of BBpress and it’s turned as before.
Subforums are not listed.
The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.
A few more questions:
Using any caching plugins?
Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
Using a right-to-left language?
Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)
Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?
The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012
If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.
ok try
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none !important;
}
@robin-w
I put it into the left sidebar (I have this in Finnish , so I dont know the right terms in English, sorry).
I have there a section “custom CSS” and I put it in the beginning.
…
.fl-page-header-fixed {
background-color:#000000!important;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none;
}
/* Large Devices, Wide Screens */
@media only screen and (max-width : 1200px) {

Hi lisabyrde, I went with MYBB software, as I was able to import all my old forum data via their plugin into that software. I haven’t heard anything further about BBpress
good luck with your decision. I am an ardent user of wordpress and ideally would like to have stayed close to their structure
BbPress has over 300+ supported plug in with WordPress you can easily design your web site the way you like and making your forum unique I can tell you fact bbpress doesn’t have that’s full functionality but you can create your own custom plugins to work with it
Need help / Bbpress developer (make an offer)
I am the editor of a French DIY site. Some articles generated a lot of comments, so I decided to transform some queues of comments into forum topics (with the “bbPress Topics for Posts” plugin). I created a bbpress forum but there are points to be settled (which are beyond my skills!).
1 / Currently, in the forum, in each subject, the exchanges are displayed from the oldest to the most recent. It would be exactly the opposite, with 2 levels of nesting (with question and answer together), and the most recent exchanges first.
2 / It would be nice if each forum topic had a presentation image (via WP thumbnails)
3 / Under some articles of the site, I chose to present the last 5 comments, it works but the links do not work (answer for example).
4 / It would be nice to have separate pages: a forum index page, a category page, a subject page (bbpress_index.php, bbpress_cat.php, bbpress_single.php, easily editable)
A bbpress.php page was created in the child theme but it is used for the root, the categories and the topics of the forum it is not top for referencing.
5 / The counters of the forum seem to do anything …
The site page with the most comments:
https://www.espritcabane.com/decoration/faire-peinture/peinture-suedoise/
The corresponding subject on the forum:
https://www.espritcabane.com/forums/sujet/recette-peinture-suedoise/

Hello,
I’m looking for a forum software for my site, but none on the market seems to be satisfying!
It seems forum software has peaked with vBulletin 3.6, 12 or more years ago! How come nothing seems to beat a piece of software that is 12 years old?! Many of the top forums that use vBulletin 3.6 don’t want to upgrade, simply because there isn’t anything better, anywhere.
(here is an example of typical vB 3.6 forum: https://onlineacademy.com/)
My question/suggestion: Why can’t BBPress (or anyone else for that matter) match the design and functionalities and design of vBulletin of 12 years ago?
BBPress should do whatever it takes to reach that level, then we will be ready to pay!! There is a huge need out for a modern forum software! Plenty of people are stuck with their vB 3.6, simply because there isn’t anything better…
I know this is an old thread but were you able to find something better than vBulletin 3.6? I’m looking to start a new forum myself and I found this thread while researching for the best forum software. Every other forum out there uses the same software and they all look the same. I want to build something that functions differently and looks better.
Let me know!
It’s in “edit user”, under avatar, password and Wordfence login security. If I click on the “modify” link, it shows me “User Role Editor” for this user and you can see the “bbp revendeur” with an X in the right column :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress6.jpg
put this in the custom css section of your theme
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none;
}
I just notice this, in the “edit users” when I choose “revendeur” :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress5.jpg -> bbp_revendeur appears in “others permissions” of my user BatteTest !
where exactly does this appear ?
Yes, the new role shows in “users” and in “edit users” (french grabs ^^) :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress1.jpg -> In “users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress2.jpg -> In “edit users”
If I choose “revendeur” for this test user, it was like it doesn’t have user role in bbPress http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress3.jpg -> In “edit users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress4.jpg -> In “users”
I just notice this, in the “edit users” when I choose “revendeur” :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress5.jpg -> bbp_revendeur appears in “others permissions” of my user BatteTest !
I installed “Private groups” recently but the problem was already here before I installed it.
I also have “Buddy Press” and “bbPress topic count” and I’m using “graphene theme”.
Thank you again.
hmmm….
so in dashboard>users>edit user the rile shows – yes?
but if you try to change it, when you save and immediately look back at it, what is it set to ?
want other profile/bbpress/login related plugins do you have ?
Good evening (in France, it’s 1:31 am ^^)
Did you find an answer to these problem ? I’ve the same issue too with this “code” :
/* Ajouts de rôles-clone à bbPress*/
function add_revendeur_role( $bbp_roles )
{
$bbp_roles['bbp_revendeur'] = array(
'name' => 'Revendeur',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_revendeur_role', 1 );
I tried a few “codes” found on this forum without success.
Thank you.
Hi guys I need your assistance
I got a code online that’s allows users to set up featured image for a topic and I was able to do that now in my latest topic widget area I want to display the featured images beside there respective topics
And also is there a way to allow users to able to add featured images on front end
@momomoko sorry only so much I can do for free – this is not a bug in bbpress or an easy ‘how to’ – you’ll need to work it out
Hi @robin-w,
Thank you for the suggestion. But basically what I am trying to do is, show or adding the bbpress profile information to another page that I have created as an “My Account” page.
The information shows up but links are not taking me to anywhere. Is there something to do with global user ID?
Please help.
so have you essentially done this
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-user.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-user.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
I am trying to create a custom user page template in bbpress. I have created a file single-user.php in my child theme. And placed the code from bbpress single-user.php there.
But the urls of the profile and other things are not working. Any idea of what is happening here?
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if your users have WordPress access (eg subscribers), then they will get the bbpress default access (or you can manually set this up).
you then set each forum as ‘private’ and it’s existence is then only seen by subscribers
wordpress version: Version 5.4.1
bbPress version: Version 2.6.4
site: riptideio.com
theme: Salient with custom child theme
On our site, we have a “Partner Portal” page which is a restricted access page. Users are “subscribers” and they need to login to view the page contents. They do not register, they fill out a request for access form and we selectively hand out the credentials. We are looking to put a forum page nested on this Partner Portal (on the Partner Portal page, there would be a button that says “Forum” that would take them to a forum page). We only want this same group of users who have access to the Partner Portal to have access to the forum, and they can easily navigate to it once logged into the Partner Portal.
Is this possible? And would users need to re-login to the forum page when they navigate to it from the Partner Portal? Would we need to have a sidebar on the forum page with login widget?
Any help or comments about how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Unless I am doing something wrong, item 6 forum description just shows up under the forum name. I am looking to put announcements/notices above the listing of forums. There is an old plugin called bbpress-notices that does something similar. Preferably, I would like these to be Super Sticky posts instead of just notices but could work with that.
ok, it probably doesn’t work for lots of nested then.
It is a known error with bbpress and there is a trouble ticket lodged for it
