I’m not sure that this is in bbpress – it may be that it is in your theme, or your theme is amending bbpress.
Try the following to see if it disappears and to work out what is creating this
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
Hi @netweb thanks for your reply.
However, I still have the same problem. The bbpress translation doesn’t contain any word called “refrescar” with would be “freshness” in english.
I can’t find how to change those words…
[mod edit – moved to a new topic]
I have made many attempts to import my xenforo into bbpress. Import will stop in the middle / all posts will be made by anonymous users etc.
So today I used bbpress alpa version (2.6) to import my xenforo forum. Everything came through except users.
Their names are appearing in the topics and replies but they are not found in the list of users. I think they are being considered as anonymous users. So the number of voices in a thread is zero even though the thread has 14 replies.
I took screenshots of the entire process. I am also willing to give access to moderators here.
If this issue is fixed, I can import bbpress to my live wordpress site.
Thank you.
Hi folks,
I’m having some trouble trying to remove the “by” part in the bbpress latest topics widget. I’ve inspected the css and html and can’t figure it out. Any help would be great.
Hi,
I created a forum, his id is 3569159-2 and it contains one topic.
in this page of my website http://radiotounsi.com/?page_id=4862
I tried to display this forum by using the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=$3569159-2] but nothing is displayed, but other bbpress shortcodes work just fine like [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-login]
I switched the theme to twenty sixteen for testing purpose, same problem
Hello together
I have the bbpress version 2.5.10 installed on my wordpress site:
http://www.physioarena.ch/hsg/forum/
and i want it translated i german, but it doesnt work!!
I have downloaded the files: bbpress-pt_DE.mo and bbpress-pt_DE.po and put These files in the Folder wp-content/languages/bbpress
can you help me?? thxxxxxx!!! sorry for my english!
This may be easier than I’d thought:
[root@cp bbpress]# grep -r 'You must be logged in' *
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "You must be logged in to create new forums."
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "You must be logged in to reply to this topic."
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "You must be logged in to create new topics."
templates/default/bbpress/form-forum.php: <p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot create new forums.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to create new forums.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php: <p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot create new topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to create new topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php: <p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
What’s the “best practice” for modifying the languages file? Is that something that I can achieve with a child theme?
TIA,

> Thanks, Pascal: That worked perfectly!
One, very important correction: If visitors to the site aren’t logged in, they see nothing – not even the warning that “You must be logged in to…” 🙁
There must be an easy way to do away with that “Oh bother!…” bit of text without leaving visitors in the dark. 🙁
Maybe I should just manually change the source:
[root@cp bbpress]# grep -r bother *
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "Oh bother! No forums were found here!"
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "Oh bother! No replies were found here!"
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "Oh bother! No search results were found here!"
languages/bbpress.pot:msgid "Oh bother! No topics were found here!"
templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php: <p><?php _e( 'Oh bother! No topics were found here!', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-replies.php: <p><?php _e( 'Oh bother! No replies were found here!', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-search.php: <p><?php _e( 'Oh bother! No search results were found here!', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php: <p><?php _e( 'Oh bother! No forums were found here!', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>

I’m really surprised to see that bbPress warns visitors to the forums that “You must be logged in to create new topics.” but does not provide a link to the login page. e.g.,
<a href='/login.php'>Login</a> to create new topics and/or to reply to topics.
Is there some way to correct that?

Hello!
We are struggling with finding a way for Support Team to easily track all topics with no replies. It would be great to have a page with all these topics or something similar.
Does anyone know how to do that?
WP – 4.5.3
bbPress – 2.5.9
Website: https://www.akruto.com/forum/
How do you get detailed bbPress user statistics? Is there a plugin? For a specific member, I’d like to be able to see, for a given period of time, how many posts they make and where they make them. Ideally, also how many replies to other people’s topics (as opposed to posts on their own threads). Bottom line: What is the best way to get user statistics?
suspect it is a theme or plugin issue#
Plugins

Robkk,
I am already using
* WordPress 4.6
* bbPress 2.5.10
* BuddyPress 2.6.2
It seems all these are the latest at this time.
So, another question, does somebody know how to generate the nice layout of the above menu?
How bout positioning? The default position is at the very top. How does bbpress get it to render underneath the header?
If you want a specific view to have images, you would need to create a custom view template called either single-view-recent-with-topic-image.php or view-recent-with-topic-image.php and most of the code would be based on the single-view.php template in the extras folder in the bbPress plugin, you would have to make it custom enough to include the featured image code, and I guess however your users will be able to select a featured image during topic creation.
Well I don’t entirely understand where you are getting at, but I mean its possible for a user to have 3 different roles.
For example.
Site Role – Subscriber – Default WordPress role
Forum Role – Participant – Default bbPress role
Membership Role – Premium Member – Some paid membership framework plugins role
If you want 1 custom site role with different capabilities that other roles might have, consider creating a custom user role. But be aware of what each capability does, so that you will not give your users permissions that you do not exactly want them to have.
Creating a custom bbPress role guide.
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
bbPress user roles and capabilities
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
WordPress roles and capabilities
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
And a plugin I would recommend to create a custom user role with custom capabilities would be a plugin called Members by Justin Tadlock.
I think other moderators thought this was spam.
I can see that it is hard to tell unless you go digging in your sites source code to tell if you are using bbPress.
I knew one day with all these users basically using bbPress as a blog, that a designer one day would customize and create custom templates for bbPress enough to just make it look like a blog.
Interesting and very unique stuff!!
You don’t even have to worry about waiting for bbPress replies for blog posts, because your whole site is mainly using bbPress.
Interesting as hell to see bbPress turn into a news site.
I have already posted this question, but has not been approved by moderators. Please approve, has been entire day already, thank you.
I have issue where bbPress HTML code is being written above the <doctype> declaration in my page, but this only happens when not logged in / signed in to WordPress. This is for Forums and Topics pages, and none others. When logged in, then HTML code is written in its proper place. I will attach a screenshot showing both instances, the top being when not signed in (HTML is out of place, before <doctype>), the bottom when signed in (HTML is correctly placed in body, and <doctype> comes first as it should).
Any ideas on where this HTML might be called differently, depending on whether or not user is logged in? I have tried disabling plugins. Perhaps it is something with my theme. My site can be viewed at http://www.lexiconleep.com/forums/forum/leep-questions-answers/ … I wonder if it has something to do with assigning a forum role to anonymous users..? Perhaps anonymous (not logged in) users need to have a forum role … I will look into this. Thanks!
The last version of the import has problems and lost the relation between post and owner.
That’s because the current version only supports phpBB 3.1.x as I stated above.
As you don’t need to worry about any custom modules as bbPress doesn’t support these anyway I still think you are best of upgrading your phpBB database schema to 3.1.x, but here is a 3.0.x alternative for you to try, though no guarantees and I won’t be making any 3.0.x changes etc.
This here is the 3.1.x version: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5795
This here is the 3.0.x version:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5770
You’ll still need to use bbPress 2.6 alpha with that 3.0.x version.
Can you remove a page of topics at a time?
Go to the bbPress topics dashboard: http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic
From the dropdown select the forum you want to delete the topics from and click filter, now select the 20 topics from that forum and in the “Bulk Actions” dropdown select “Move to trash” and click apply.
Going back to the repair tools and running those has the forums topic and reply count now been reduced by the number of topics you just deleted?
I want to do CSS for just the forum thread pages themselves (ie if I change the title color, I don’t want that change to apply to the list of forums or to other parts of my WordPress theme).
I’m working in the style.css file. How can I target bbpress’s templates and pages.phps?
I’ve only ever had a handful of people ask and/or help on importing Xenforo to bbPress, I’ve been lucky that I’ve been given copies of the raw database to work on, thats the only reason the bbPress Xenforo importer exists.
There are some bbPress forum tweaks that can be made to improve performance, and as pointed out some of those will ship with bbPress 2.6 (hopefully sooner rather than later), there are also further tweaks that won’t ship with bbPress 2.6 but can be added to further improve performance.
Edit: This site is running on bbPress 2.6, by the end of the week so will wordpress.org/support, over the past couple of weeks bbPress 2.6 has been used to roll out ~25 international (Non English) forums across w.org see: https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2016/07/29/rosetta-forum-upgrades-in-progress/
bbPress 2.6 is very stable right now 🙂
@aeneas1 I’ve split this into it’s own topic, things can be hard to track otherwise.
Did you do the import with bbPress 2.5.x or 2.6 alpha?
The 2.6 alpha now supports importing from phpBB 3.1.x which fixes quite a few issues with phpBB users, you can get it from https://bbpress.org/download
@lnangel well for IPs specifically, if you put her IP into the comment blacklist she will be blocked from posting in your forums.
There are also cases where people don’t know that plugins can hook into the comment blacklist with their own custom list, like I have seen issues where a Mojo Marketplace plugin would cause this same error. So if she would use profanity that might be in a custom blacklist for the comment blacklist, she would be blocked.
You can know if it was this, if she sees the error notice listed in the guide.
She could go over the link limit settings in Settings > Disscussion too
From there her actual posts would be set as pending I think.
https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/
Other things could be spam plugins like Akismet that work with bbPress possibly being too aggressive.
