Upload files to plugin directory -> bbpress folder -> overwrite -> wp-admin panel -> plugins -> disable bbpress -> enable bbpress -> tools -> forums -> upgrade forums tab -> run all
Thanks, i will try but it will take me a bit, as I need to understand/google some things.
Meanwhile, maybe it is easier if it is possible to use an icon instead. Like this:

bbpress just uses wordpress user, so if your site authenticates to WP, then bbpress will work fine
Hello,
We currently have built a website with a custom theme and are looking to add create a community within our website.
Our site architecture dictates user authentication/authorization to content managed through a 3rd party SaaS platform (Salesforce), so users are never hosted within WP. So user authenticates to site via API call to Salesforce, which has a token returned which authenticates to site and authorizes content. My question is has anyone attempted to leverage bbPress with this architecture, adopting the authentication cookie to identify the user in bbPress and subsequent posts?
I have not found any documentation on this approach therefore thought I’d start here. If there’s documentation out there and I’m blind, feel free to give me a nudge. Thanks!
I changed this in \wp-content\languages\plugins\bbpress-es_ES.po:
msgid “Posts”
msgstr “Publicaciones”
To this:
msgid “Posts”
msgstr “Mensajes”
I cleared cache from WP and cleared Chrome cache, but I still see “Publicaciones” here:
http://www.ffximobile.es/foro/
Is there a way to set the maximum length of posts, or edit the maximum length of titles? I wasn’t able to find it in the settings, or find any clear answer on google that seemed relevant.
I’m on bbPress version 2.5.14-6684 and WP version 5.2.3.
Thanks!
Hey Robin! I found it (hallelujah and thank you for your help!). There was a tiny setting deep in the recesses of the Avada theme that was causing these to not show up (I had been trying to work with their support team, too, but they kept telling me it was bbPress ;). Just for anyone else that finds this issue in Avada, you have to scroll to the bottom of your forum page when you are in edit mode to Avada Options > Page Title Bar > Show Bar and Content (or just “Show Content”) then adjust from there!
Good grief. Such grief. Ha ha. Now to find out why posts are not publishing from anyone other than me and being held in “moderation”. May need to hire a developer on this one, as I’m testing permissions wide open on staging and still can’t get it to go! Ah. Websites. 😉
Thanks, Robin
A default theme with just bbpress shows these, so it is either theme or plugin related – I can only suggest
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
Hey Robin, I was just looking around to try to fix all the weirdness with my bbPress (still have no idea why there are so many issues with it!) and found this: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/configuring-bbpress/creating-content/
“Sticky – Posts will stick to top of the Forum which it is in.
Super Sticky – Posts will stick to the top of all Forums.”
This is a “Super Sticky” post — it sounds like it is supposed to stick the top of all forums, but it’s not here. Am I misunderstanding?
Thanks!
Ok, I found the problem. I read in this website to create a bbpress folder inside content languages and enter the translated files inside it. I have removed it and now is again in spanish.
So, which file should I change? Should I just change \wp-content\languages\plugins\bbpress-es_ES.po ?
It could be a theme or plugin issue

If that doesn’t work, talk to your hosting company
Also, if I’m in bbPress forum, also the user bbpress login widget is in english (http://www.ffximobile.es/foro/) but in other pages on my site, it is correctly in spanish (http://www.ffximobile.es/)
Hi i have 2 issues with bbpress.
In my forum https://www.carrozzieri-italiani.com/forums/
it seems that it doesnt update the topic informations.
Freshness has stoped and also the number of posts and topics doesnt changes.
See the NEWS section…it says “0 topics” but in fact there is at least 1 topic.
second issue is the number of sub-forums of “coachbuilders” (accossato, ala d’oro…etc) displayed is limited to 100…but there are many more…
Hi there,
I’ve been trying to figure out how to implement breadcrumbs and haven’t found any conclusive answers.
Does bbPress come with breadcrumbs by default? I don’t want them on my main site, but do want them as nav on my forum.
Thanks
I downloaded it, and uploaded the files, but there’s no “update” button- how the hell do you install this thing and update from 2.5.14 ????
I would like to know how to replace the “Search” text for the bbpress search box into the search icon from Font Awesome. I already have font awesome in my theme but I don’t know how to start to change the text.

After installing bbPress, my forum was in Spanish (correct). I have changed a couple of labels inside bbpress-es_ES.po
Example:
msgid “Freshness”
msgstr “Último mensaje” to “Último”
After this change, the Forum is in English. I have uploaded the original file bbpress-es_ES.po, clear cache and everything but it still in English.
How to change again to spanish?
Hello,
I have a quite complex website that I can’t modify too much and for some reason (BuddyBoss parent theme? GD bbPress Tools?) is not showing the “Activity Streams” option in the bbPress settings.
My question: how can I enable @mentions from the DB o from functions.php?
I have bbPress 2.6rc
‘deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress’ !
ok I’d suggest you contact your host provider to see if they can help, it may be a host thing
Ok I switched themes to twentyfifteen and that didn’t work. Then tried your suggestion of deactivating all plugins except bbpress and that didn’t work. Also, when I did deactivate all the plugins, bbpress was not working then.
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.

Hi,
I have the same issue. I installed bbp style pack plugin on BBpress 2.5.14. Forums were already set up. The only thing I really need is to change Forum Template to “Alternate Forum template 1”. It’s a must have for my client.
I click to select and save changes but nothing changes on the frontend, exactly the same. I use the free Customify theme but also tried the default themes with same result. I deleted cookies and cache but no joy. Deactivating all other plugins gives no joy either.
I also wanted so select option 3 in Forum Display to move the breadcrumb and that does work ok.
Please help !
Hello,
I am using bbPress with Elementor Pro. I managed to create Forum Archive and Single Forum templates but I can’t see to figure out how to create a Forum Topic template.
Is it possible to create a topic template so those pages get the styling from Elementor?
Thanks
