Hi i installed wordpress multisite, How to use video tags in bbpress replies?
In which case this is the easiest way.
create a directory on 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-topic.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-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so go to line 60 which says
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>
and change the ‘size’ => ’14’ to a larger number for instance ‘size’ => ’20’
bbPress 2.6 has dropped support for importing from phpBB 3.0.x, you need to upgrade your phpBB database to 3.1.x before importing into bbPress 2.6
I’d suggest switching your “password protect child pages” plugin to a “membership” type plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=members
I’m sure one of them will support what you are looking for and allow you to continue using a single password where bbPress is also behind that.
Try importing using the beta of bbPress 2.6, it includes heaps of import enhancements, let me know how you go 🙂
You can get it from https://bbpress.org/download
This is an aMember issue around supporting bbPress’ roles
A quick search of their forum shows many bbPress users asking the same question, but never getting a reply http://www.amember.com/forum/search/330361/?q=bbpress&o=date
The current suggestions seem to be if you have a license is to create a support ticket for help from aMember.
I’ve not heard or seen such a plugin….
That said, I swapped out “topic tag” for “term” and searched the plugins repo:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=autocomplete+term
There may be others but this one stood out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-tags/
Add some tools for taxonomies : Terms suggestion, Mass Edit Terms, Auto link Terms, Ajax Autocompletion, Click Terms, Auto terms, Advanced manage term
It doesn’t list bbPress as being supported but maybe it could be adapted to support bbPress or support for bbPress added to the plugin.
See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2973 for further information and bbPress 2.6 PHP 7.x compatability.
Hi there,
bbPress does not seem to be fully PHP-7-compatible at present after all. Running a PHP 7 checker, I encountered the following errors and warnings in bbPress 2.5.10-6063:
FILE: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/cache.php
134 | ERROR | Parameter shadowing super global ($_post) causes fatal error since PHP 5.4

428 | ERROR | Parameter shadowing super global ($_post) causes fatal error since PHP 5.4
Is there a timeline for getting these addressed?
I’m working on a site where users seem to have difficulty using the topic tags. I can’t disable them because the client wants them. I was thinking if there was a drop-down suggestion/auto-complete for the topic tags input it would greatly reduce the incorrectly formatted (making them useless) tags and give people a better idea what belongs in that input.
Is there functionality for this in bbPress that I can enable, or a third party plugin? I’ve found googling for this very frustrating because using the term “topic tag” in a search brings up help forums that have topic tags of my other search terms.
This is within your theme, not within bbpress.
You could put a single image in, but not easily one per forum as far as I can see.
probably better to contact the bbPress Toolbox plugin support !
I tried this but it did not work.
I’m using the bbPress Toolbox plugin and and I did activate bbc code as the method to use quotes so all that happens is a < blockquote > tag added.
I’ve added your suggestion to the css file, which I put in my child theme folder (themes/childtheme/bbpress/bbpress.css).
No difference though, bbpress still uses the CSS from my style.css.
The two ‘test’ items below are easier, as they just use blockquote so you can add this to your css
#bbpress-forums blockquote {
color: green;
}
I presume that you don’t want to change the class in the other plugin?
Hi, I’m using bbpress on my upcoming videogame website:
http://20160719.gaming-universe.de/guf/topic/testtest/#post-6864
As you can see, the template uses information from the WP theme style.css.
This is overall a good thing but the blockquote function looks off.
I’m also using a couple of plugins so I feel that I might be able to change that via a CSS function but don’t understand CSS very well.
When looking at the code, the blockquote seems to use a specific class from one of my plugins:
blockquote class=”d4pbbc-quote”
Can anyone point me to where I can change the CSS for the blockquote attribute?
Thanks, Matthias
I forgot to wait updating wordpress until bbpress was also 4.6 ready.
But I have upgraded to wp 4.6 now already and noticed an error.
When bbpress plugin is activated i cannot upload or find images. The media library keeps on looking for something.
And when uploading i get an error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later”.
Does this has to do with the wp 4.6 update?
and is the new bbpress update coming soon?
Love the functionality of bbPress and WordPress. Added the reply widget to my main sidebar, but it only displays what topic is being replied to and who replied. I’d like to be able to show at least a portion of the content from, say, the five most recent posts on the forum. Is there an easy way to do that? Perhaps a plugin/widget I should look at?
My site is FAUOwlAccess.com
Thanks.
This is the default display.
If you are into coding, you can check out
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
or if coding is not your thing use my plugin Style Pack which will let you set up lots of stuff, including fixing the above

I have some custom fields in my user account profiles that BBPress Profile view displays just fine, but then all the ones related to Address, display as blank fields. The really weird thing is they are all still editable and will save entered data.
To summarize the issue:
My custom fields for Address do not display content when viewed in BBPress Profile.
If I type in something into one of the blank fields and then click Update, it saves it correctly and then again, still won’t display anything.

IS THIS INTENTIONAL? It seems weird that OTHER custom entries like my mailing list checkbox still display.
After doing some more work on this, I think that while the visibility of my topic in the subforum is indeed broken after the Subforum’s ID is placed in the _bbp_hidden_forums option, that is only a symptom and not a cause.
I think that the fundamental assumptions of this version of bbPress/BuddyPress preclude the use of Subforums. And evidence of this is that visibility sensitive areas of the code like this just come up with the wrong answer when subforums are involved.
So for me, I think I’m going to stop trying to make subforums work until the core code changes to better support them.
I’m wondering if anyone at bbPress is paying any attention to this. We’re having the same problem at a non-profit I’m trying to help set up bbPress. If I’m logged in as an Admin, I can post, but if I’m logged in as a user (participant role in bbPress and subscriber in aMember) I can see the forums but not post. Exactly the same as the OP.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Thanks if you can help.
Hi there, I would like to import from vb 3.6.+ to bbpress
as I am not vb4 , I suspect the importer is not working, is there another way round this via phpmyadmin, please?
I am not so much a techie but can fiddle slightly in myphphadmin
thx Bob
This is interesting, as I am running vb 3.6+ and I am looking to import into BBpress. Looking to go simple instead of all the bloat of vbulletin, even though I added a lot the old forum in design and ‘hacks’
Is your login form a widget? It looks like. Go to widgets menu and in settings or options there is url to homepage after log in which is default behavior. Try to use bbPress Login widget and check settings.
Good Luck.
