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.
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by ronc0011 4 minutes ago.

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?
I’m about to post this same issue. Getting it as well. His screenshots perfectly represent my experience as well. Was this a BuddyPress or bbPress issue in the end?
Alright, I probably didn’t do this in the best way, but I figured out how to “fork” your github code and create a separate branch but it’s under my username (I didn’t know if it’s okay to just go creating branches in someone else’s repository, so I just set up in my own):
https://github.com/themichaelglenn/bbpress-vbulletin-permalink/tree/no-f-s-or-id-s-in-forums
Again I need to make clear that I do not know what I’m doing – but whatever I did is working on my localhost and on my test site (which site will only be up long enough to test everything on an actual server, so no link to that site, sorry)
I don’t know if I would still get the topic URLs forum/forum-name/ID-topic-name if I kept removing more code, to get it down to where we were only rewriting the topic URLs? I’d like to try that but I don’t know how much more I can remove before the plugin just stops working altogether.
Could someone please confirm whether we could set-up multiple levels of security on a BBpress Forum?
For example, approved users can post new topics and reply to topics on one board but only read topics on another board?
Example:
Forum Topic 1: Marvel Games (anyone can post) in this area
Forum Topic 2: Known Bugs (only moderators can post in this forum, or people with special permissions)
Many thanks for any advice.
For beginners use a plugin like widget logic.
That piece of the guide I wrote was a simple approach to creating a bbPress only sidebar for a default theme, it needs to be explained more for beginners, and requires some theme dev knowledge.
@mimbelli
I am going to sum it up really quick why bbPress is taking so long.
bbPress has few contributors to the plugins core.
Less contributors > Less contributions > Longer release time
While it would be better to have.
More contributors > More contributions > Shorter release time
We have to get more developers interested in the project somehow to get more contributors and contributions.
