The problem is that themes do not use the wordpress template standards – in many cases for good reasons, but bbpress cannot understand every theme.
I presume you have been here
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Hi – I am running the Activetab Child Theme with a left side bar. The Pages menu includes an option to make the pages full width with no side bar. How do I do that to Forum pages? There are numerous solutions posted on this none of which work. There seems to be wide spread demand to have full width bbpress forum pages but no easy way to do it. It makes sense not have the forum pages crowed with side bar noise that is required on the main page but nowhere else. The lack of support for this is a serious weakness in the bbpress plugin.
I have a child theme implemented and have no problem adding bbpress specific overrides to the style sheet if they work and persist after plugin, theme and WordPress upgrades.
Hello,

Best ragards.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Then come back

can you swap to a default theme and retest with only bbpress running as plugin
Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me decipher this error (with WP_DEBUG). Without WP_DEBUG simply getting a blank page. Front index and viewing topics works fine, but for some reason the forums (where you see a list of topics) don’t work.
Tried disabling all plugins, besides bbPress of course. Running the latest WordPress version 5.1.
Kind regards,
Jonas.

I like the bbPress plugin because of the Freshness column on the forum page. However I do have a couple of questions.
1. In my current forum/blog I do not allow participants to add topics, they are only allowed to add comments to a topic. Is there a way in which I can only let the key master add a topic and NOT participants?
2. In my current forum/blog all topics are password protected. Is there a way in which I can set a password for the individual topics? (The password would be the same for all topics and all participants know the password.)
Wordpress version: 5.1
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Hello everyone,
Can someone help me to increase the login picture size on my site ?
I am using WP 5.0.3 – BBP 2.5.14 – TwentyEleven (with child)
Thanks !
Hello! It’s about the Forum BBPress have. Whenever i activate the %postname% in permalinks i the the URL i want. But then the “Forum” page can’t have widgets.
Example:
With widgets, i get the URL i dont want:
http://www.dgf-esport.dk/?page_id=709
Without widgets, i get the URL i want:
http://www.dgf-esport.dk/forum
I’ve tried plugins with a side widget which many recommend, but the problem here is the i cant se the widget because of the permalinks, which i dont really get..
The website is live but far from finished yet. I do really hope anyone can help me!
that is presuming you have run the normal tests
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
hello
I have this same problem
I did import bbpress data from old site to my new site but now i can’t open Admin Replies Page and get “503 – Service Unavailable error” , but i can access Topics page, Forums page, and all settings of the plugin.
please help me
its so emergency for me
bbPRess-wordpress is really slow on my site. 7 to 10 seconds loading the main forum page. Submitting a new topic can go over 20 sec. 75% of that time is waiting for a reply…
It’s hosted on a VPS and when I monitor the CPU and RAM memory, it is always under the max, CPU runs at 50-70% on a request and ram stays around 70% used.
It seems to me that the requests to mySql takes a long time to execute.
We have 11500 topics and 75000+ replies. It was a phpBB forum that has been converted to bbPRess.
What can I do to improve performances?
Managed to sort this out myself. We are using BuddyPress Registration Options plugin and I missed the check box: Only registered or approved members can view BuddyPress/bbPress pages (Private Network).
I need a drink ha…
Hello,
BBPress is running great on this site but if a visitor is a guest and clicks a topic to view the content, they are redirected to the home page. We are using WordPress pages with shortcodes to manage the forum.
If you view the sample forum and click the I’m In topic it goes to the home page as guests. We need guests to be able to see the topic info to decide if they want to join.
Any info would be great, here is the page:
<a href=”http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/forums/main-forum/”
Thank you.
ok, try this plugin
bbp blacklist checker
once activated go to tools>bbp blacklist checker
This lets you switch off the code that is causing the issue.
It’s just a bit of testing code, not intended for permanent live use, but may help confirm if it’s bbpress or something behind that is causing the issue.
Try it for both anew post and an edited one
Hi guys,
Hope this doesn’t come across as a really stupid question, or should I say, hope this doesn’t come across as a question that shows my stupidity……
You have me interested in the name “bbpress”. Can you shed some light on where the name came from and whether it means anything in particular?
Thanks in advance.
Yes I got that far, not sure how to use modify the following code just for that sepecific category/forum This is the code for the discussion page
<?php

/* We need a static counter to trace a shortcode without the id attribute */
static $counter = 0;
$counter++;
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
‘id’ => ”,
‘class’ => ”
), $atts, ‘g1_bbp_forums’ ) );
// Compose final HTML id attribute
$final_id = strlen( $id ) ? $id : ‘g1-bbp-forums-‘ . $counter;
// Compose final HTML class attribute
$final_class = array(
‘g1-bbp-forums’,
);
$final_class = array_merge( $final_class, explode( ‘ ‘, $class ) );
// Note: private and hidden forums will be excluded via the
// bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility action and function.
$query = new WP_Query( array(

ok, now I can see – this is well beyond free help, buy suggest you start by looking at modifying
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
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
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-archive-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
