Seems as it is cooming soon. Here is a link to keep an eye on it:
bbPress Topics to WP Posts Converter
Not able to search for users after importing users and posts from Vbulletin 4.2 to bbpress 2.6RC3. I can go to the profile if I know the name.
Imported users have not been mapped to any forum roles or site roles.
Here is code for forum index, forum featured images, not topics:
/*

add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));
function ks_forum_icons() {
if ( 'forum' == get_post_type() ) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft forum-icon'));
}
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title','ks_forum_icons');
In theme functions.php or custom field with functions.php.
It gives featured image metaboxes in backend. Then you display featured image on front as any other post type featured. See how your theme is doing this and copy/paste whole code block.
As you need only fetaured image allowed for admins and moderators you can use this:
add_post_type_support('topic', array('thumbnail'));
add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));

I will see later what is the best way to allow all Users to set topic featured images.
But dont see much point in it. Thousands of forum topics, thousands of images on server x all WP image sizes. Big mess.
Hi. I’m new to WordPress. I’m creating a site and I wanted it to have a forum so I installed bbPress. There are 2 categories in the menu. Each of them contains forums. There’s 3 issues I have.
1) Under the text box for writing a comment, visitors to the site will see “Topic Type” and “Topic Status”, each with its own drop-down menu. I don’t want visitors to have access to those. I looked through all the forum settings and can’t find a way to get rid of them. How do I do it?
2) The font used for the menu is fine but the font used for the forum names is too small. Where do I increase the font size for forum names?
3) Is there something built in to the plugin that lets visitors rank or vote for posts? High-ranking posts would appear above other posts. Does the plugin have anything like this?
Thanks.
They are php templates inside bbPress. The default location in bbPress is /plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/ look for the ones labelled feedback-no-*****.php and alter/edit the ones you want changed and place them into your theme’s bbpress folder.
Easy peasy.

and words from the plugin author on moderators in 2.6
In bbPress 2.6, per-forum moderators will work like this:
* Users with the global Moderator role will be able to moderate all forums
* Users assigned as a moderator to a specific forum will act like a moderator in that forum
* This includes private & hidden forums, where the non-moderator (Participant role) user wouldn’t otherwise even be able to see them at all
There are weird situations that could come up, but you’d have to be working backwards in both directions to see them. For example, giving someone the “Blocked” user role, but then trying to make them a moderator in a forum, is weird. In these cases, the block wins.
ok, per forum moderation is something that is 2.6.
Suggest you download the release candidate 3 and try again to see if this is a bug that has been fixed

which version of bbpress ?
Hi @tkserver
I will launch v1.0.3 today on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/
Sources are still on https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API/
The routes have slightly changed to comply with standard bbPress settings, but when you get the specific forum, e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-json/bbp-api/v1/forums/forum/5914 it would give you the details of the forum and the list of the 20 recent topics with the title, reply_count, permalink, author and avatar.
I see you also wanted the date posted, so let me add that one too before I commit.
If you see other things to add, let me know. But no guarantee on my response time in these weeks 🙂
Pascal.
PS. are you on slack so we could discuss ?
Wordpress Version 4.7.5
We have a new forum and two of my mods are listed as moderators under users, however they can’t access forums listed as “private” for some reason.
Even if I edit the private forum and list them as mods there as well they still can’t access.

Allowing untrusted users the ability to upload images to your site is one of those frequently requested but still pretty risky features we’ve so-far shied away from.
WordPress (and most server configs) don’t do the type of strict file/mime type checks you’d want before enabling this, so JPGs and GIFs can embed other weird stuff and most sites would have no idea.
There are some plugins out there to enable it, but it’s not something we’ll include with bbPress proper until WordPress (and most hosts) have a better setup under the hood.
This is because you’re actually using an old version of bbPress 2.6. bbPress 2.6-RC3 is published on the WP.org plugin repo (although it’s a bit hard to find with the new design), so WordFence is using those files as the comparison. These are legitimate file changes, and I would recommend updating to 2.6-RC3. Below is the official download link
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-3.zip
@jwill207, Without seeing the page you’re trying to change, it’s hard to say what you need to do.
@5unnykum4r, This is a separate issue. Please start a new topic, and provide some extra details. Also, it appears that you’re not using bbPress, so it might be better to post your question here, https://wordpress.org/support/.
@karilistermanyahoocom
The default from email address for bbPress emails is noreply@(url).com. If you’re seeing wordpress@(url).com, it’s either not an email sent by bbPress, or you’re using a plugin that is changing the from address for all emails sent.
To change the bbPress email, you would use the filter bbp_get_do_not_reply_address. For most (if not all) emails sent by your WordPress install, you’d use the wp_mail_from filter.
You may want to try the latest 2.6 release candidate instead.

I’m using 4.8 WordPress version.
I just installed bbPress plugin that error occurs.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks.
if you are using the bbpress login widget then this has options for a registration page
Otherwise, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so just google
‘wordpress custom registration’ and you’ll find tips, tools and plugins that should sort you !!
Do you know where I can modify the redirect page so that it only shows the 404 page not found message and not a list of my site’s pages
It usually depends on the theme, but 404.php is a good start. It probably has some function or functions that put out a sitemap, but that’s just a guess, and every sitemap type plugin is different.
In addition to bbPress, there are legitimate Membership plugins that are better equipped to handle things like private pages or members-only sections of websites. If you haven’t used any, Restrict Content Pro and Paid Memberships Pro are good ones.
if there is supposed to be a redirect when someone isn’t logged in
No. When inaccessible pages are requested, a 404 is returned.
I want to prevent non logged-in users from viewing this 404 page because it has a list of all the pages within my website, and I need to keep that accessible only to logged-in users.
I’ve created a Trac ticket to get more development discussion on the idea here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3118
Hi Kari,
With both the weekend and a major community summit, the past few days have been pretty slow around here.
This is a hard question to answer, because it depends on your forums and how you have them setup as private.
There are also security implications to consider. For example, if your forums are only for logged in users, redirecting to a login page vs. showing a 404 hints to hackers that something exists vs. it not existing, which incentivizes the hunt.
I usually try to recommend that forums use the login widgets, or otherwise have some always-available login form to use instead. That way private forums can still 404 for non-logged-in users, without the redirect hint.
If you do want to redirect anyways, you’ll need a custom plugin to modify the way bbPress works.
Unhook bbp_forum_enforce_private and bbp_forum_enforce_hidden, and write your own equivalent functions to use bbp_redirect() rather than bbp_set_404().
I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.
No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.
I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.
Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.
Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?
I’m on my own domain, multi site install.

Disregard. The bbpress search widget is searching the forums so I disabled the normal search bar. This topic can be closed. Thank you!!
It sounds like you really need to talk to your theme developer rather than BBPress as the issue is with your theme, not BBpress or Topics for Posts.
I’ve used Topics for posts for about 3 years without any theme issues
In bbPress 2.6, per-forum moderators will work like this:
* Users with the global Moderator role will be able to moderate all forums
* Users assigned as a moderator to a specific forum will act like a moderator in that forum
* This includes private & hidden forums, where the non-moderator (Participant role) user wouldn’t otherwise even be able to see them at all
There are weird situations that could come up, but you’d have to be working backwards in both directions to see them. For example, giving someone the “Blocked” user role, but then trying to make them a moderator in a forum, is weird. In these cases, the block wins.
