1.404 issue
The link looks good, suggest you try
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.

I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?
yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies
beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look

Hello bbpress community,
Please help me overcome the first hurdles with bbpress.
re. user profile 404
I have followed the install guide for bbpress. Everything seems to work fine except the click on a user picture/link (other than my admin picture/link) leads to 404.
The site is live on
Leadership resources
On this topic, for example, the participant answering with a Gravatar picture cannot be accessed. (I have a plugin installed that redirects all 404 to the homepage which is what happens here.)
I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?
Re. An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies
There is a community that I like particularly:
https://www.managementexchange.com/
What I like here is:
1. It’s topic based – the new does not crowd out the excellent.
2. The case studies can be ranked by likes and comments. Along with a large user image and name this gives credit to the contributors.
3. Title and tags show what it is about.
4. Clicking on the topics leads to comprehensive organization case studies.
Can I realize something similar with bbpress?
I know this example community allows for front end posting from a form that prompts to comprehensive answers, but I hope I can offer an initial community with bbpress before going for a more complex solution.
What I have not found in bbpress out of the box is likes, or a sorting of topics.
Thanks a lot for your help.

No dice with bbPress 2.6-beta-2 either 🙁
No biggie – I’ll just rollback and get it done. I like where it is heading with all the additional info though
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.id’ in ‘field list’]

Starting Conversion
I want to change the default so that all new users are subscribed to all forums by default. I have seen some replies to this question which say it can be set on group admin pages, but I can’t see any way on the BBPress settings to create groups, and I cant find any plugins to add the functionality. What am I doing wrong?
I’m running WordPress 4.9.4 with Twenty Seventeen Child Theme, and bbPress 2.5.14
Actually…. the solution above wasn’t going to work because if breadcrumbs are enabled and someone clicks on the “Forum Home”, we lose all the effort. However, I finally found the conditional statement that works.
This is only part of my code, but you can get the idea…I originally had this:
// For Jetpack Portfolio heading
elseif (is_post_type_archive()) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'WordPress Themes', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
// For bbpress forum heading
elseif (is_bbpress('forum')) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'Support Forum', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
However, when I did this, it worked:
// For bbpress forum heading
elseif (is_bbpress('forum') || is_post_type_archive('forum') ) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'Support Forum', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
// For Jetpack Portfolio heading
elseif (is_post_type_archive()) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'WordPress Themes', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
Now what is interesting, is that if I have the bbpress conditional “after” the Jetpack portfolio one, it would not work and the bbpress heading would be “WordPress Themes”. However, I had this sudden thought that perhaps there is a priority happening here, so I moved the bbpress conditional “before” the Jetpack one, and sure enough it works. The bbpress heading is “Support Forum” and the Jetpack portfolio is “WordPress Themes”.
Something about the sequence caused an issue…what and why I do not know.
Ah….found a fix for the above/last reply. I added the id of the page, so now the custom-bbpress.css only loads for bbpress and that page.
if (is_bbpress() || is_page( 209 ) ) :
Update: I had this in my functions:
if ( is_bbpress()) {
….etc.
But adding:
is_page()
Means that the custom-bbpress.css is going to load on all “pages”. A temporary solution, but not really the right solution.
Not quite what I was looking for in way of “conditionals” but I have to admit your method (albeit unconventional) worked like a charm, although my custom CSS for bbpress is not inherited. I will need to see about fixing the custom css styles.
Anyway, thanks.
I am using divi theme, I want to remove the default sidebar in forums page, so I create a new page name “forums”, and add some module and bbpress shortcode in it, but the forums page always look the same with default.

Since I was helping a friend convert a phpbb2 board to phpbb3 I thought I’d take the time to also import the forums into bbpress (my preference).
I initially tried the import but could not get it to work and after looking on the forums saw that I was not alone.
To get the import to work I had to remap some fields in the phpbb conversion script and comment out some obsolete ones (took about 30 minutes.
If anyone needs to get your PHPBB3 users and forums converted in BBPress you can replace the phpBB.php file in wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\converters to match the following updated code: https://gist.github.com/pixelnated/a7a9c41154cf64696ddd1c2e4f4327ed
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.
Then come back
I am using bbPress Email Notifications and bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
I did a forum login. For me it’s work well but if anyone want to register after he/she give her name and email the page want username and password from the user. Where can i turn this function off? because they can’t register because of this..
(BBpress forum)

Then, now :
1/ I think this is because i’ve installed bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, but i need this for uploading new media… 🙁
2/ Yes, tell me what can i do… 🙂
3/ Done ! Thank you ! I’ve installed your plugin. 😉
4/ I think this is a too little for texte + avatar.
How can i do now ?
Hope to read you soon…
1. As a test deactivate that plugin and see if it works without. If so re-enable and contact that plugins author
2. for the forum list
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/loop-single-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/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so change line 68
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
amend 14 to whatever size you want
3. glad you like it
4. without knowing exactly what you want, I cannot suggest css changes – I suspect we will not fix this one
Hello,
I ask your comprehension, I’m not fluent in english (I’m french). I’ll try to explain myself the best way I can.
I’m using BBpress and I want to display categories in the normal/usual way in my index forums : Categories separating forums and forums forming lines in the index. Actually, categories display like forums and forums display like subforums : https://operationarcheo.fr/forum/
I want to have categories separating forums like this : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1icL0s-0vcRuPvX4uVNyluI_INMepC0-G/view?usp=sharing
I’m searching the simplest way to do this. Please consider that I’m not developper and also have difficulties to use english documentation.
Thank’s,
Mathieu
PS :
– Theme : Customizr free version
– WordPress version : 4.9.4
– BBpress version : 2.5.14

Wait … I forgot I didn’t install the 2.6 Beta of bbPress again. I now did and the conversion started, but it didn’t work out, here’s the log:

I appreciate any help!
Thanks guys, I had the latest bbPress installed but my converter.php looked different so now I am using the converter.php file which Stephen posted and did not do any change to it. Then I tried the phpBB3 import again but know I am stuck at “Starting conversion” … it just won’t stop and there is no error message. How can I finally get this to work?
Hopefully I got the right forum here.
I want to add a heading when on the “forums” archive home page of the bbpress forum. Right now I have this for jetpack’s portfolio…note this is just a snippet of my code:
if (is_post_type_archive()) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'WordPress Themes', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
…but the bbpress forum header area is loading that title as well. I’ve tried so many variations and conditionals, none work. I did manage to get the “forum” titles to show for individual forums with:
elseif (is_bbpress('forum') ) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'Support Forum', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
But does anyone have an idea how to get the conditional to show a custom header title for the bbpress home page?
Will try to see discussion on Slack, thank you. We can chat about it here too, why not.
@Robin W, our analogy with newspapers and similar commercial services is a bit wrong, I think anyway. No law can force them to delete everything in their database(s), simply because they need those data to pay VAT, to pay to state what they had in income. They are exceptions, and has to be. Amazon will never be forced by this law to delete your profile. On the other side Twitter, Facebook will be forced by this law a lot, that is why I mentioned them.
As I get it, it is like this:
– Robin W asks for this law to be respected here on this domain “bbpress.org”, and all (identifiable) personal info about him to be deleted.
– After this is done, can Admin of this domain, webmaster, owner, or I as Stagger Lee find anything, anything on this domain, to threaten Robin W, find his physical post address, kill him, threaten his family, etc…etc…
colourful example, but I believe it is it.
Here’s the exact change in that code that was added for the next bbPress release
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6129/
If you haven’t joined up for WordPress’ Slack please do 🙂
https://chat.wordpress.org
Please remember though, the discussions on WordPress’ Slack will be about adding GDPR to WordPress Core, as bbPress and BuddyPress are official “sister projects” of the WordPress project we’ll be for the most part following and implementing the solution WordPress Core decides upon, this will be implemented across these bbPress.org, buddypress.org, and wordpress.org support forums and shipped in an upcoming bbPress release 🙂
Sorry, English is not my native language, I can distort phrases. I’ll try differently:
After importing a new site in …wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply is there anything?
Perhaps the topic and answer did not receive the correct post_type when importing
You can try to update the old site.
You can backup the database (in order to roll back in case of something), then:
Disable all plugins.
Update WordPress (if you can not get to the latest version, then you can add intermediate ones – they are available at https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/)
After updating WordPress update bbPress.
P.S.Your links require authentication 🙂
