All the answers I can find to this question seem old and the solutions don’t work.
I’ve tried copying my theme’s full width template to my child theme and naming it bbpress.php
I’ve tried copying bbpress.css to my child theme and adding the CSS for article width to it and adjusting it to 100% (which works fine in the theme if I want to change ALL my content to 100%)
How can i get JUST my bbPress generated pages to be full width ? Currently i’m linking straight to the forums, should I be putting them in full width pages and generating them with short code instead as a workaround ?
Note: the bbpress.php override works fine but I can’t figure out how to override the .css that’s keeping the forum box small.
/* Arrange posts into grid structure on archive pages */
.archive article,
.blog article,
.search article {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 3.33333%;
padding-left: 1.11111%;
padding-right: 1.11111%;
width: 33.33333%;
}
I am on WordPress 4.7.2 and bbPress 2.5.12 and suddenly this combination stopped working layoutwise. bbPress is just outputting content (text), but without any tables or any other formatting.
The glitch happens with all WordPress themes not just a particular theme.
I am using “bbPress Tweaks” to render the output in my theme. Deactivating bbPress Tweaks did not solve it.
Unfortunately we use this website for internal communications, so can’t just put a link here, you have to have an active user to login.
Therefore I uploaded some pictures of what is happening:

I tried everything disabling plugins, downgrading WordPress, downgrading bbPress itself. But I can’t get the older versions of bbPress to run. Something in the code is crashing -> white page. So I am stuck with 2.5.12.
Thank you in advance!
Hi Kostas,
I am currently making a plugin to move/copy/delete bbPress install in multisite.
Would you be interested in purchasing it when ready?
Thanks,

login probably isn’t going to do it either.
Probably a setting in wordpress or your site
or ‘I changed all of the URLs directly in the database’ something mis-set here
Suggest you start by
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.
to eliminate these as issues
Hello i m working with WordPress 4.6.1 with Bigbang theme
my bbPress version is 2.5.10
The problem is in the tool bar: I see simultaneously both the visual bar that the textual, and the keys of the text toolbar are visible only if I get over them with the mouse
Oh, that is strange, can you check the contents of the following file for me on your beta 2:
bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php#L653
That line should read $max_index_length = 191;
One other thing, you might need to run the “reset forums” tool first from:
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
That will delete that old table (and *all* your forum data) and make it available to be created in the updated format.
Hi Stephen,
unfortunately it didn’t help, I get the exact same error message with bbPress 2.6 Beta 2. Any other possibilities?
Thank you
Hi, and thank you so much for replying. I ended up adding BBPress and disabling the legacy thing. I’ve also added new forums and my client didn’t seem too bothered about the loss.
Is it too late to convert to old forums and, if not, how would I go about it?
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I didn’t respond sooner, but I didn’t get an email notification. Well, I tried your suggestion and no joy. 🙁
Any other suggestions? I’ll check in daily whether I get a notification or not.
Here’s a link to a forum via the most popular link: http://new.mudskippercafe.com/forums/view/popular/
T[Edited to add]
his is a development site, the original URL was http://www.mudskippercafe.com So maybe that will give you some other ideas of what might be going on. I changed all of the URLs directly in the database and everything else is working. I’ve also disabled all of the other plugins that were originally being used with bbpress just to make sure they weren’t causing issues.
Thanks again,
John
You can use WordPress’s REST API to interact with forums/topics/replies the way you can with any WordPress posts, but that may not be ideal (and some of the verbiage does not directly translate very well.)
That API has only been fully available since WordPress 4.7, so we are seriously starting the process of exploring what a dedicated bbPress API should look like. Some work has gone into this already, but there is more to do.
You’ll need to install the bbPress plugin, and convert your old bbPress 1.x forums to bbPress 2.5 (soon to be 2.6.)
Then you can disable the BuddyPress legacy forum component, and continue using the newer better faster stronger bbPress plugin.
bbPress 2.0 and higher comes with a (pretty great) conversion tool to help you migrate from several different forum softwares, including bbPress 1.x. We used that exact same tool all across WordPress.org, so we are confident that it works very well.
If you create a page with the same slug as your forum index, you can use either the [bbp-forum-index] or [bbp-topic-index] shortcode in your page content to output the list you desire.
bbPress won’t complain, and you’ll be able to customize the page title and content if you desire.
It’s not exactly a hidden trick, but it’s what we use here on bbPress.org and seems to work OK. If that approach is creating a broken breadcrumb, that’s definitely a bug.
Thank you kindly, Pascal!
The links I would like removed are listed in two separate posts as follows. Note that I have edited the actual link data in my note below so I don’t create yet another link here, but you can easily identify the links in my posts per the information I am providing below:

Thanks for the report @tiiuk, this has been fixed for bbPress 2.6 🙂
If you would like to you can update to bbPress 2.6 Beta 2, bbPress 2.6 has significant enhancements for imported phpBB forums as an added bonus 🙂
Details are here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/
To the best of my memory, I added the below to my themes’s child functions.php file to disable the “forums” breadcrumb that links back to the “forums” page that does not include the sidebar. NOTE that I am not a developer and got the below from this forum somewhere last year so use at your discretion. If you crash your site, I accept no responsibility!!

function rkk_custom_bbpbreadcrumbs() {
// Remove Forum root from bbPress breadcrumbs
$args[‘include_root’] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args’, ‘rkk_custom_bbpbreadcrumbs’);
Hello,
I try to import my phpBB 3.2.0 (latest stable version) to bbPress (latest version 2.5.12) using the default import tool in the WordPress 4.7.2 backend. The phpBB is clean, no mods / plugins or custom styles. I get this error:
Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]

Starting Conversion
I don’t know any MySQL so I don’t understand what to do. If relevant here the collations used: utf8_bin (phpBB) and utf8mb4_general_ci (WordPress).
Any suggestions?

I deployed the bbpress plugin.
on the Lost Password page, using the Lost password shortcode, I cannot finalise the action to do a lost password. get an error message that says that captcha has not been entered.
Problem: captcha is not even on the screen.
Note: it is however on the WordPress Lost Password screen.
Any help on how to get the captcha feature on the Lost password bbpress functionality?
Hi, can’t provide link to page because it’s a private / paid site: fapsa.org.uk
When I try to go to Forums I get ‘HTTP ERROR 500’ and this in my error log:
[30-Jan-2017 18:21:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WP_Taxonomy in /home/fapsa******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 17
Any suggestions?
BuddyPress: 2.7.4
WordPress: 4.7.2
I think the problem is that I’ve been using legacy Forums in BuddyPress. Is there any way to transfer them across to bbPress?
untested as I’m short of time this evening but…
create a directory in 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
if you take out line 44 which says
<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>
Then sub forums will not be listed
this is all handled by wordpress and presumably cleantalk. bbpress just uses what wordpress has. Suggest you post on the wordpress/cleantalk support sites
In bbPress 1.x there was a feature called “bozo”, what that did was hide any topics and replies from users that had been “bozo’d” though the bozo user would continue to see their own topics and replies.
This feature has not been migrated to bbPress 2.x, there is a discussion in ticket #2755 on some potential ideas and suggests a couple of plugin and plugin ideas that might pave the way for some future bbPress 2.x enhancement.
… I cried victory too early: I ran into https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/recent-topicsreplies-from-private-forum-are-not-displayed-in-widget-why/ and moreover the workaround suggested there doesn’t work for hidden forums. 🙁 So back to square one…
I’m running a website with two private groups, and I’ve run into a snag. It turns out that all logged in users can also see topics posted into private forums in the “recent topics” widget, even if they are not member of a private group. Naturally if they click on these topics, they cannot see the contents of the thread, but the topic titles occasionally do leak information that they shouldn’t be able to see.
Is this a known bug with the bbpress “recent topics” widget? Is there a way of fixing this?
I’m running wordpress 4.7.2, buddypress 2.7.4, and bbpress 2.5.12 (also jetpack, askimet, and wordfence, at their latest versions). Happy to provide more information if need be.
Thanks in advance for any help!
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
