Just another reply to you @mimbelli about your opinion on using plugins for most of the features.
While I’m sure that WordPress will not disappear in few years I cannot swear for sure on each plugin. What will happen when a plugin I used throughout all my site will not be upgraded because the developer went on Mars? I became very careful to choose my plugin since it happens several times in my life.
Make sure to use some quality plugins from very good developers. Most of the plugins I mentioned in your original topic were pretty good quality in my opinion.
If you did go the route of mainly using BuddyPress, GD bbPress Toolbox, bbPress Pencil Unread, then that should be good enough. BuddyPress is very actively developed, GD bbPress Toolbox is actively developed (its a paid plugin) and adding tons of features you wanted even report post functionality, and the Pencil Unread plugin is now improving its plugin to include features that are in other unread posts plugins.
Just updated to 4.6.1 recently and it seems to work fine on my dev site.
@pauldamas
If your this was a fresh bbPress installation I would try a re-installation.
We have some users in the forum mention similar issues while having also installed BuddyPress. Do you have BuddyPress installed as well.
You may also have to make sure you have the plugin activated. I have seen users get confused at how the new way WordPress installs plugins with a single button and no screen change. Some people forget to wait after the loading icon goes, then the button turns into an activate button. Some users forget that and do not activate the plugin.
How do i add BBpress to my site for Uganda Safaris. I need tourists to communicate with each other through forums. Please help!
I just merged your two created topics since they are pretty much the same, but you just detailed different information for each.
Have you set any forums as private through bbPress, or are they all set as public?
Have you tried running the repair tools in Tools > Forums, and made sure to run each tool one at a time?
Have made sure to clear any cache from any plugins you have, or made sure they are set up correctly?
The Coffeeblack Plugin for BBpress and Mediapress does this
Mediapress BBpress Gallery Insert From Editor
Some further background… I’m running this on my local desktop with Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.0 PHP 5.5.36
and WordPress 4.6
Also have installed Buddypress but after issues with bbpress I have deactivated Buddypress which made no decernable difference at all. Also this is a pretty much sterile install, these are the only 2 plugins that have been added i.e. Buddypress & bbpress and as I noted Buddypress is not active at present.
I’m working on my third install of bbpress and still having the same problem I have already deleted 2 previous copies of WordPress and bbpress simply because I don’t seem to be able to getthem to work.
It is looking like I have made some progress though. Where as I was simply getting an empty page I am at least getting a list of forums and even a notice i.e.

Which is of course the title of my first reply.
The only thing in any of this is my username and the 4 minutes ago part. I’m not seeing anything that looks even sort of like a forum only a couple of notices that tell me there are forums and topics but forget attempting to actually see those topics or replies.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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
Hello.
I have a problem with the bbpress sidebar. I use bbpress wp tweaks to create a widget area for bbpress. Thats ok.
But: When i create a forum mainpage i dont have a chance to use this sidebar. I only have the choice to use sidebar left and right, but that would show the blogsidebar.
What can i do to use the widget area for bbpress on sites. Link: https://myblender.de/blendtec-forum/

I’m using bbPress Moderation plugin,
Setting
Anonymous topics and replies: Always moderate topics checked
When moderator publish the topic, IP of topic will change to moderator’s IP.
Is that possible to leave original anonymous author’s IP?
HI, Looking for my forum. Don’t know where to look. I set it up.
I would agree I have it installed (from previous wp version) and now ‘forums’, ‘topics’ and ‘replies’ are missing from dashboard sidebar.
wp 4.6.1
bbpress 2.5.10
WP version = 4.6.1
bbPress version = 2.5.10
It seems bbPress version doesn’t work with WP 4.6.1. When I activate the plugin, nothing happens !
Do you plan an update ? When ?
Thank you very much for your feedback !
I have it working now, and there is still a big problem a can’t solved.
When i convert a big phpbb forum to bbpress the relation between post and author get lost.
Pleas help me with this big problem
Has anyone else successfully configured the bbpress search to include WordPress pages? Thank you.
@Robin W Clear and loud.
Regarding you point #2 I respect your opinion even if as a user I have a completely different POV 🙂
I strongly believe in a tool like a forum and I’ve been migrating my contents (some of them 15 years old) through several products because “content is the value”.
In my experience (I’m not a php software developer but I’m a content creator) plugins has been a PITA since my first phpBB forum and the main culprit to CMS maintenance and upgrade.
While I’m sure that WordPress will not disappear in few years I cannot swear for sure on each plugin. What will happen when a plugin I used throughout all my site will not be upgraded because the developer went on Mars? I became very careful to choose my plugin since it happens several times in my life.
Of course I do not pretend that wp or bbpress should have everything in their core but imho it’s really strange that to have the most basic features for a modern forum I need to install several plugins. (my old thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/some-question-before-migration/#post-173383)
The most perused sentence about bbpress is “bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress”. It communicate me an assurance on the quality and stability of the product. In other words: we are here to stay. On the other hand, being so plugin dependent you communicate to me exactly the contrary and I’m scared.
End of the rant/Looking forward to see 2.6
Hello
when I want to restore a message in the trash that does not work, it returns me to the next page.
Thank you for your help
Is there necessary edits on file or css just to follow how the bbpress.org site is implemented?
Hi everyone 🙂
I want my bbPress threads to be automatically marked as “solved” if the question (first message) gets 50 upvotes (yeah, I know that’s weird) and the upvotes/downvotes to get blocked. Yet, I want the thread to remain “open” even while it is solved, allowing users to keep on writing answers.
Is there some code (something like “if $upvotes>=’50’ { $threadStatus=’Solved’ };”) I could use to achieve that?
