Hi All!
I am totally new to BBpress/Buddypress. I have both on my website, and I am learning my way. I want to change my forum layout to look similar to https://thebloodsugardiet.com/forums/. I like their layout better than the style used on the BBpress forum (and mine). How did they create their forum layout? I use Enfold as my website theme, but I see no way to modify the BBpress styling. Should I consider Commons In a Box instead? My goal is for my guest to see more of a “news like” styling, rather than the standard row-by-row forum style. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for input.
bbpress does not have moderation, so it will be another plugin doing this
Hello. Is there suppose to be a registration link with the bbPress login form –my main wordpress login form has a registration link below it, but the login form on my bbpress forum pages does not. Here is an example of the forum login page which does not have a registration link (scroll to the bottom of the page): https://cincinnati.unitedresourceconnection.org/financial-assistance
Here is an example of the main login page (that has a registration link): https://cincinnati.unitedresourceconnection.org/wp-login.php
Does it look like I’ve configured something incorrectly, or is this the default behavior? I’m using the most recent version of wordpress and bbpress.
Why would the short code for latest topics display the topics for some users but not for others?
Non-logged in users and subscriber/participant levels cannot see the Topics on the page where the shortcode is used – yet they can see everything fine when they go the actual Forums.
But I as admin can see the Topics fine when I visit the page where the shortcode is used.
WordPress 5.1.1
bbPress 2.5.14
The original poster asked specifically how to disable forum caching with W3TC. They got the exact answer. If anyone is teaming up, it’s only to be supportive.
As to why W3TC might not be working as expected, that’s a bit harder, because bbPress uses all the same caching that WordPress does, without using any trickery.
Hi Tim,
Author of WP2Static here.
Whilst it may work for an archive of a BBpress site. I would suggest looking at HTTrack, an open source tool, specifically for converting sites to static.
There are versions available for most every known OS and you can even install it on your webserver to allow it to scrape the whole site quicker.
https://www.httrack.com
If you try WP2Static and it works for this use case, please let me know!
If you need help with using HTTrack, also happy to help.
Cheers,
Leon
there is the simple way to delete your account in bbPress database.
Log into your WordPress back-end.
Go to Tools > Forums > Reset Forums.
Check the “Are you sure you want to do this?” checkbox.
Optional: You may also want to check Delete imported users? …
Click Reset bbPress.
I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?
Hello,
I have been using bbpress for my wordpress website. I have one question. Is there any way to block particular words such as “Thanks”, “congratulation”, “Great Work” etc. I don’t want to allow low effort replies in forum.
Waiting for your kind reply.
Hi,i want to know can we sort topic format year
thank
Hi, I’m also trying to do this, with no luck so far.
I have separate xml export files for Forum, Topics and Replies.
I can import the Forum and Topics, but not replies ( They import but then crash WP when you try and view them from the dashboard )
When I import Topics they all show OK in the dashboard but not in the forum. To get them to appear in a forum you have to edit each Topic and update it ( nothing more ). This is painful when there are thousands of Topics.
Has anyone solved how to Import existing XML exports? I’d especially like to be able to import into an existing bbpress forum which would need merging and new post ids etc.
Any ideas?
Thnx Alan
Hello bbPress team and users
I am currently setting up my first bbpress forum. I am using buddypress and gamipress (didnt set it up so far) too.
I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?
Another question somebody could maybe anwser. Can I show gamipress ranks and points below the avatar in postings or other informations from buddypress profiles, or any bbpress related informations?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day to the whole in community!
Continuing the troubleshooting here in case someone has an idea. Upgraded vBulletin to 4.2.5; can’t access the site directly anymore but the database is still fine. Tried to do the bbPress import once more fresh and it hangs still at “Doing Step 6” with No forum subscriptions to import. The debug is a little differnt now though:

Installed bbPress (2.7RC) to test and I like the improved dashboard for information but still having the import issue – though now I’m informed that it reaches step 6:
Step 6. No forum subscriptions to import
and just doesn’t move past that point. As a note there are no other plugins activated at all in my wordpress install – this is brand new and i’m starting out with the bbPress plugin since it’s the largest potential issue.
I’m trying to import an old vBulletin (3.8.3) forum to a new bbPress (2.5.14) setupon WordPress 5.1.1 and the initial import looks great. It imports the users (~13k) says something about deleting their WordPress password, then a moment later it seems to hang and no matter how long I leave it we never progress.
Calculating forum hierarchy (0 - 99)
Converting forums (0 - 99)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12700 - 12799)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12600 - 12699)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12500 - 12599)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12400 - 12499)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12300 - 12399)
Looking at the forum sections shows that it’s created the 22 forums and correctly set some of them as categories, they also show how many topics and replies are in each one correctly –
— Random Thoughts - Topics: 3,119 Replies: 54,698
But only 27 topics across the entire forum are imported. It’s the same 27 topics every time as well. To the point that if I stop the import, and hit the start button again, it imports these same 27 topics once more now showing 54. Is there an error log I can find that might show me why it’s hanging up? The bit above with the Calculating Hierarchy is the last update I ever get in the window. I added the lines to turn on debug logging in WordPress but nothing every shows up.
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // turn on debug mode
if ( defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) && WP_DEBUG ) {
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); // log to wp-content/debug.log
}
Late to the party, but instructions for enabling the TinyMCE editor are here. Instructions for styling the content inside the editor are here. TinyMCE is not Gutenberg. But it’s simple and reasonably user-friendly.
One of the problems I’ve encountered in trying to use the TinyMCE editor in bbPress is styling the text inside the editor itself. The default fonts are serif, but suppose you want sans?
Attempting to override the font-family in the usual way — by modifying your theme’s CSS file — fails because the editor window of TinyMCE is in it’s own tiny little world as far as CSS is concerned.
In order to get TinyMCE to use your own stylesheet, you have to pass it as an argument when the editor is called. Here’s how to do it in bbPress.
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = array(
'content_css' => '/wp-content/themes/mytheme/css/tinymce-editor.css',
);
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
In the example above, “tinymce-editor.css” is the CSS file you want the editor to use. It is located in a folder entitled “CSS”, which is located in your theme folder “mytheme”. The code above can be copied and pasted into your functions.php file.
Other options for the editor can be found here. Notice that the value for “tinymce” can be an array. That’s what we’re doing above.
Additional arguments to pass in the array for the TinyMCE editor can be found here.
I hope this helps someone. The documentation for styling the editor text could be improved. I banged my head on this problem for years until I stumbled on the solution elsewhere.
bbpress does not have fixed separators – it has default ones.
you can change simply by putting this in your child theme functions file or using code snippets plugin
function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
$args['separator'] = 'whatever you want' ;
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );
You also seem to be confused by templates. Theme and plugin templates are exactly that and designed to be changed if wanted. With bbpress you simply follow

Is there any good way to convert a bbPress database to static/archived html files? I was going to try to make the WP2Static work for this, but if there’s a bbPress-specific plugin or something that already exists for this, I’d much rather use that. I looked around of course and couldn’t find anything.
Thanks!
Tim

hello robin please check out this https://colorlib.com/out/jollyany-demo this is greate theme for bbpress
so have you installed bbpress ?? installing buddypress doesn’t get you bbpress, you have to install it as well
I created a site using buddypress. The shortcodes like [bbp-login], [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass] not working. It just shows the shortcode. I tested it with the theme Twenty Seventeen and NO other plugin installed. WordPress 5.1.1, PHP 7.3 (tested also with 5.6 and 7.2), and Buddypress 4.2.0.
You can see it here: https://bbpress.at-creation.ch/login/
Thanks for your help.
My client already has a functioning news aggregation website, but no commenting is allowed. She’s wanting a private section where her readers can have private conversations that only they can see on certain topics or articles.
Her request below. Any thoughts or other ideas are greatly appreciated.
I’ve given enough thought to the idea of establishing an ‘Invitation Only’ comment section. Realizing comment sections on a blog are typically open to the public, I lack any and all desire to spend my day moderating nasty posters or blocking trolls etc. What I want to be able to achieve is a comment section that I don’t need to spend too much time managing but the blog benefits from. It’s the starting place, so to speak, to start building a community/readership to engage more with the blog, feature daily current political drama/events for folks to respond, and a place where the posters thoughts/comments remain private/behind a wall. No one but the posters and me see their comments.
