Yes, in the content of the topic/reply. It makes from [photo 123] the html to display photo with id=123 from plugin wp-photo-album-plus – instead of a photo from the wp media library – according to the settings in the settings page of that plugin; e.g link to lightbox, subtitle and possible social media buttons to share the image.
The button that opens the dialog to select the photo, and optionally upload a new one, is now working without mods to bbpress, but it shows ‘[photo 123]’ instead of the picture. If the content would be filtered by the standard wp content filters, it would display the image, like it does in a wp native page or post.
@robin-w For some reason I have the same problem with the bbpress forum index. It does not work.
Here is the site link. But at the Forums level, no index.
The [bbp-forum-index] code is on the Forum created.
Any help would be great.
Hello,
I am trying to develop a forum in my wordpress site and I have installed bbPress…
My forum will have nested “categories” (down to level 3…)
let me explain better:
Forum category 1
—-> forum sub categity 1.1
———-> forum 1.1.1
———-> forum 1.1.2
———-> forum 1.1.3
—-> forum sub categity 1.2
———-> forum 1.2.1
———-> forum 1.2.2
—-> forum sub categity 1.3
———-> forum 1.3.1
Forum category 2
—-> forum sub categity 2.1
———-> forum 2.1.1
———-> forum 2.1.2
I don’t know if it is my theme or if it is a bbPress configuration, but I cannot see more than level 2
Forum category 1
—-> forum sub categity 1.1
—-> forum sub categity 1.2
—-> forum sub categity 1.3
Forum category 2
—-> forum sub categity 2.1
and to see level 3 I need to clock on level 2 categories….
on top of this I cannot see any breadcrumb navigation for the forum….. is there an option for that?
Many thanks
Regards
Hi thanks for your reply, that’s a big undertaking for my site given the amount of plugins, and combinations of plugins that may be conflicting with bbpress. I tried another theme, that seemed to work a little better, so am guessing it could be a theme conflict with bbpress.
I was more after guidelines of things that could go wrong to look out for, am guessing it uses a tags with an id to jump to the relevant post?
I think I’ll wait until I get a staging setup done, so I can test things on a non live site.
In basic bbpress, if you subscribe to a forum, then you should receive an email when a new topic is posted. If you subsequently subscribe to that topic, you should receive emails when a reply is posted.
As for the symbols, since you’re using the buddyboss theme, then I suspect that this is part of that, and as a paid product, you should check the documentation and/or raise a support ticket with them.
thanks for the post
bbpress includes a version of the wordpress ‘after..parse_args’ which will let you do this so for
•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1735:
change ‘tinymce’ => false, into ‘tinymce’ => true,
•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1736:
change ‘teeny’ => true, into ‘teeny’ => false,
you could put this code into a functions file or plugin
//editor bbpress
function rew_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_enable_visual_editor' );
and the ability to filter functions so for
•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1858:
Remove array_push( $buttons, ‘image’ ); to remove the ‘standard’ image insert button that asks for a full url to an image, since we are replacing this by the [photo] shortcode generator.
use this code in your functions file or plugin
function rew_remove_image_button ($buttons) {
if (($key = array_search('image', $buttons)) !== false) {
unset($buttons[$key]);
}
return $buttons ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons', 'rew_remove_image_button' );
The you don’t need to alter bbpress files
Let me know if I can help further
hmm, apart from the standard elimination tests below, I can’t think of anything obvious
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.
@heero I know this thread is old but it still shows up 1st page when I search bbPress themes. So I thought it would be worth providing an upto date answer for future viewers.
The 1st stop I would recommend is checking out wordpress.org/themes where you can find thousands of themes.
However, if you don’t want to spend all day looking through their directory then check out Softwarefindr a platform were forum owners using bbPress give a shortlist of their recommended bbPress themes.
Hi,
I have setup bbpress on admin.site.com and i currently already have site.com setup with user authentication. I’m currently looking into making the login from site.com auto detected in bbpress forum.
Looking in bbpress.php it seems that i might have to modify current_user to be set from the session that i currently set after the user logs in to site.php but not sure how to set the user for bbpress to be able to detect the login.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Driving me a bit crazy this, I have BBpress widgets showing. When I click on them it puts me past the actual forum thread, so I have to scroll back up to read it. I tried the last reply plugin, doesn’t work.
Even clicking on the forum links doesn’t take me to the post, but to somewhere past it.
Can you give me some pointers on how to fix this basic functionality?
ok, put it into the child theme and remove form the parent theme – that way it doesn’t get lost on updates
so you have a bbpress specific sidebar as per
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
yes ?
If so then in your new bbpress.php replace
line 49 ish
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
with
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'bbp-sidebar'); ?>
ok, much of this will be your theme or standard bbpress
add this plugin and use it to style
bbp style pack
on registration, bbpress uses wordpress registration, so looks like that needs troubleshooting
Yes, now the only plugin available is a wordpress plugin.
But some times ago Tapatalk relased an official and supported bbPress plugin.
That was it!
So… filters need to be passed a variable which gets returned in order to function properly?
Good to know, definitely not clear in the bbpress codex.
Thanks, Robin. Means alot!

Hello,
I got few problems with BBpress. I asked the support of Boldgrin, after investigation they told me to contact BBpress support.
First, when users try to register, they dont receive the confirmation email. (support confirmed than nothing was sent).
Second, the font text of the forum is very small, is it possible to edit that?
Third, the font of the title of the registration page is too big, plus the Button “validate” on the bottom right is way too small. Also possible to edit that?
Fourth, at the bottom of this very same page （registration）there is “Website comming soon” shows up?! How to delete this!
I know that was a lot but Im a newbie, any advice will help!
Thanks in advance!

@robin-w,
That worked.
It’s showing the page sidebar, as opposed to the blog sidebar.
I added the bbpress.php copied file in the parent theme. I am using a child-theme but haven’t tried it yet, but it would be better to get this working there.
And also next…. how do we create and show a bbPress specific sidebar?
Thank you.
ok, the following assumes you know how to use FTP, if not come back
You need to find
wp-content/themes/salient/page-sidebar.php
copy this and rename it to
wp-content/themes/salient/bbpress.php
so that you end up with both ie
wp-content/themes/salient/page-sidebar.php
wp-content/themes/salient/bbpress.php
bbpress will now use this for all forums, so you should see a sidebar on all forum pages
then see which sidebar is appearing, and we can amend it if needed.
We do need to talk about child themes at a later stage
bbpress will use your wordpress theme. If you want to style and add features use
bbp style pack
Hello,
I have a website with domain xx and I install plugin bbPress. I want ask how I change theme bbPress?
I upload theme in folder theme wp-content > themes but not working
Thanks
I should add that the site is using WordPress 4.9.1, bbPress 2.5.14, and bbp style pack 3.6.9, and bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1.
@robin-w,
1) I use two sidebar widget areas from the theme. One for blog archives and posts, and one for pages. These function and appear OK. There is also a WooCommerce sidebar but I don’t have WooCommerce installed so I can’t comment on that.
2) When using the instructions at the link on the first topic post I made here, and also the bbPress WP tweak plugin the bbPress sidebar widget area appears, I’ve added the text area and some dummy text, saved it, but the sidebar does not appear on any of the forum pages (e.g. main forum index, topic list, topic).
It came to mind that I’m quite sure that I used the linked instructions to they the sidebar to appear and it worked OK with a previous version of the theme. There have been a few updates since, where I have copied the customisations over to the updated theme, but I had assumed that the bbPress sidebar would continue to work. It was only when I looked at the forum recently, it looked and felt odd and that is when realised the sidebar had stopped working. But I’m not sure why the plugin does not work, but again these two non-functioning issues with the sidebar may be related.
I hope that helps.
And thank you.
Hi,
Here are the ones that are tied to email/Buddypress/BBPress. I’m wondering–do new topic notifications work for approved topics on a clean BBPress install? I don’t think I can disable many plugins on this site since it’s getting a lot of traffic, but I could probably test it out on a different live site. I think it would have to be a live site or at least have an SMTP provider set up for the notification emails to go out.
Plugins
1. Buddypress
2. AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions (added because the default method of BCC’ing all subscribers created too many recipients for our SMTP provider)
3. bbP Toolkit
4. BP Profile Search
5. BBPress Moderation Tools (allows us to put all new topics into moderation, seems to use default BBPress actions for moderation)
6. Fix Forum Emails (fixes issue where HTML tags/entities show up in notification emails: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2865)
7. WordPress Mail Queue (queues/chunks all mail from wp_mail so we don’t go over SMTP provider limits)
8. Wordfence Security
what plugins other than bbpress are you using?
When a new topic goes to moderation and is approved, some, but not all, of the regular new topic actions take place. One thing that does not seem to happen is sending out the new topic notification email. If possible, can the bbp_notify_forum_subscribers action be added when a forum topic is approved by a moderator (after checking to make sure notifications are enabled)? The new topic notifications are a great way to drive visitors to our forums, so this is turning into an issue on our site. The site owners want to be able to moderate most (or even all) of the new topics, but then no notification emails are sent out.
If this is something I should try to figure out on my own, please let me know and I’ll give it a shot. I didn’t want to mess with the bbpress core code since it would get overridden on the next update.
Thanks!
Matt
