I am looking to make my “New Topic” button below follow the pagination, by that I mean if there is only one page and the pagination links don’t exist I want the “New Topic” button to appear all the way to the right. If there is pagination I want it to sit at it’s left most side like my example below. Right now I’m just placing it there in a static position which means on pages with no pagination it’s just floating in space.
Example position:
This is the static code I’m using for the button:
#bbpress-forums .new-topic {
margin-top: -41px;
margin-right: 80px;
float: right;
}
I had to create child theme for Twenty Sixteen. After that, bbPress sidebar went on bottom of the page. What I have to do to get sidebar back to side of the page?

Hello!
When using bbpress and Learndash, it is possible to set a forum to “privat” and link it up to a specific Learndash course. Which is working absolutely fine.
But – as a “participant” who is not enrolled to that specific learndash course, it is possible for me to see all the topics, themes and replies of this forum. I can’t reply to it or create a new topic but still I’m able to read everything.
Although it is set to “private” and linked up to a specific LD course.
Is it possible, that a “participant”, who is not enrolled into a LD course, can’t see any replies, themes or topics of this specific forum?
Best,
Anke
I have an WordPress site where we have one login for many visitors, because not everyone should see the content.
Inside this WordPress installation is also bbpress installation. There we want to have each user separetly logged in with his own username. Because many users will login in the WordPress site, but only a few will use the forum we choosed this way.
Is it possible to get a separate login for bbpress when already logged in WordPress?
Thanks all for your help
that’s not a bbpress page, looks like it might be a version 1 site
Hi,
I have a problem here that I don’t know how to resolve. My page patlas.org/college seems to be under the influence of BBpress. However, it should be no different than patlas.org/career or patlas.org/company. I tried deleting the patlas.org/college page once and recreating it, but it continues to direct me to a BBPress page. I uninstalled BBpress, but that didn’t resolve it either. Any advice?
Best,
Patlas
Unfortunately that is not possible in bbPress and to be honest I have not seen any plugin doing that so far. There are some discussions ongoing concerning bumping and sinking where replies could go higher or lower in the list, but that discussion is still ongoing and not so easy to implement.
If you want to program yourself, I would think about adding the ID of the replies you are hiding to the meta of a user, or adding the ID of the user as a meta of the reply and then based on that display the reply or not.

I think also the “forum info” is a good widget to have in default instalation of bbpress.
I want this also. Maybe a lot of people love this.
Is not possible made a default widget with these information for the next versions of bbpress?
Hi, in the bbpress forum works.
Some way to add this option in bbpress next release?
Hi Dominic,
I think you misunderstood my post. I simply want to reduce the required password length to 8, rather than 10. I have changed this setting in Profile Builder Pro to eight, and that iis actually working ie 8 character passwords are accepted, but this dialogue box is still saying 10, which is confusing for visitors (and me!)
I think this is a BBPress issue, but I can’t find where to change this anywhere! Iv’e searched every CSS file i can find!
Any help would be much appreciated
I have now this code into functions
##Name ändern Participant in User Standard User
function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Teilnehmer’ )
return ‘Standard User’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 2 );
function my_custom_roles2( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Keymaster’ )
return ‘Michael’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles2’, 10, 2 );
function my_custom_roles3( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Zuschauer’ )
return ‘Premium User’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles3’, 10, 2 );
So I change only the names. Now I must to have that the spectator has the same capability as the participants. So I have no code for this found, I have change the capability.php in bbpress core. I know it´s not the best way and after a Update I must change it again but it works. I have no other idea. 🙁
follow this link with a description on how to do this
Custom Capabilities
I want to convert my bbpress forum to wordpress type posts. There are older posts about plugins for this but seems like they are not working now.
So… I tried exporting the topics and (separately the) replies using the xml exporter. I did a search and replace on the whole file for types [topics] _topics_ and replaced with [post] and _post_
(well I think they were the replacements as afterwards I tried several others for the replies).
Anyway, this worked when importing the topics as posts into wordpress – I was very happy with that. Then I though it would be great if I could also get the topic replies converted to post comments. I tried several replacement tags (changing reply to comment, comments …) but the only one to get imported was changing [reply] to [post].
It imported but did not add as a thread of comments but each one as a new post “RE: Topic title”.
Is there any way I can use the export/import function to get my topics and replies over to a blog style post with comments?
Or a way of editing the xml file to import correctly and add the replies as comments to the original post?
I was almost there but fell at the last fence.

Hello,
I need 2 User Names which have the same capabilitys. I have try it with this:
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names’ );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(
// Participant
bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘Standard User’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
),
// Spectator
bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘–>Premium User<–‘,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
)
);
}
Now I can swith between “Standard User” and “Premium User” which is perfect, but he Premium User can not write any reply or other things. So they have not the same capaboility.
Have anybody an idea where the mistake is?
Which Member Plugin works good with WordPress and bbPress? All I try were not good 🙁
OK, I have tried it with this…
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names’ );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(
// Participant
bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘Standard User’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
),
// Spectator
bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘–>Premium User<–‘,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
)
);
}
I can now change every User to a “Standard User” or “Premium User”. That is what I want, BUT with the Premium User I can not write any replies or others. With the Standard User is everything ok.
Where is the mistake???
it may be a conflict ot 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
ok, this code allows participabts to
trash their own replies and
trash their own topics where there have been no replies, once a reply has been posted then they can no longer delete.
it does display slightly weirdly when you delete a topic, but it is the best you are going to get from me.
give it a try and see if you still have the admin problems
/*Customize the BBPress roles to allow Participants to trash topics*/
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'ST_add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

if ( $cap == "delete_reply" || $cap == "delete_topic" ){
// Get the post
$_post = get_post( $args[0] );
if ( !empty( $_post ) ) {

$post_type = $_post->post_type ;
// Add 'do_not_allow' cap if user is spam or deleted
if ( bbp_is_user_inactive( $user_id ) ) {
$caps[] = 'do_not_allow';
// Moderators can always edit forum content
} elseif ( user_can( $user_id, 'moderate' ) ) {

I have added it for now into my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin (v1.0.8) while waiting for https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3046 to be implemented.
Pascal.
I think you have done so much on the current site that it is impossible to say what is wrong.
I think you need to create a totally fresh site, and start again with just a standard theme (say twentyfifteen) and bbpress.
Then build form there.
Hello… I have been trying many different ways to get into the forums page, but I not having any luck….
I have tried to remove the plugin and reinstall.. That didn’t work
I tried to remove all bbpress data with the forum reset option in tools… which didn’t work
I have had a look through the editable files of the plugin….bbpress/bbpress.php
It stated that if the plugin was installed more than once, it can create ‘Ghost’ versions of BBP which could be the issue?
Is there any way someone can help me fix this? I’m concerned that I wont be able to use this plugin…
Kind Regards
Chris
ok, whilst out I think I know what the issue is.
Firstly can you confirm that apart from redirecting you to home, the code at the top of this thread works? ie redirection to the wrong place is the only outstanding issue.
If so, the issue is that after you delete a topic, bbpress sends you to back to the topic, which as a moderator you are allowed to see trashed topics, but as a partyicipant you are not. This then will send you to a 404 page, which in your case I think just sends you to home.
So let me look at ways to get around this.
The theme is named “agama”. The bbpress related plugins are: https://gyazo.com/5fae44b6bac68ac591b7f4fdcdcb26a0

Hello everyone,
Sorry but I just came to discover this thread, I am the author of bbp-messages and there’s now a major update made and it now supports Multisite, the problem that Stewart was reporting.
Also Stewart, the link wordpress/members1/http:/localhost/wordpress/members1/ pretty much seems messed up, so it’s hard to tell whether it is bbP issue or configuration. I think you did not configure your testing environment quite well and also the bbPress link looks filtered by BuddyPress. Next time I’d suggest you edit your hosts file (c:\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with admin permissions using notepad) and add a new entry 127.0.0.1 bbpress.dev now bbpress.dev will act like a normal domain and you wouldn’t run into issues while testing or migrating (all you can do is replace .dev with .tld in the db SQL file). Also add the virtual host for Apache http://stackoverflow.com/a/25203499/3910932
Thank you Arutam and Robin you’re very helpful. I just wanted to point that this thread continues in wp-org plugin support forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/messages-upgrade/
Best,
Samuel
