I don’t think you have to download the files anymore. I think all you have to do is change your language in Settings > General now.
Here is the list of translations. German seems to be at 100%.
I guess try what I said above, because a WordPress update possibly changed the language directory for each plugin.
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress
The “by” is printed in php, as displayed in this code here.
https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/common/widgets.php#L822
There is a way to use CSS to hide the “by” though. It will look like the topic title has a little margin away from the topic authors name.
Here is a custom CSS example.
.widget_display_topics li {
visibility: hidden;
}
.widget_display_topics li > * {
visibility: visible;
}
There might be a way to use a plugin like Loco translate to just translate “by” to nothing also, but I have never tried that plugin before, and I am not 100% if that would even work. But it could be another possibly easy solution.
Robin might be on to something with the url thing. Robins suggestion works fine, but I usually suggest looking into using the Reveal IDs plugin, as it really makes it easier by just adding a column in posts like Forums > All Forums list and users list in the WordPress backend.

@rateyourway
Its a custom bbPress template file in your theme. I suggest you contact your theme developer. Maybe they can make the custom bbPress layout translatable by a few code tweaks.
@aviazz
You already should have a way to view topics with no replies. By default bbPress has a feature called Views. It allows you to display topics with various different arguments. Topics with no replies should be one of the 2 default views which are Most popular topics and Topics with no replies
You can link to the existing page using the Topic Views widget in your sidebar, or you can use a shortcode already provided by bbPress to display a view shortcode in a page and add it to a menu. You can also also instead add a custom link to a menu in the menus section in Appearance > Menus if you do not need to use a shortcode in a page.
The widget is called the Topic Views widget that you will be able to see in Appearance > Widgets or you can manage your sidebars using the Customizer API in Appearance > Customize in the WordPress backend.
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/
The shortcode you would want to use is [bbp-single-view id='no-replies']
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#views
If for some reason you may not already have the default view. See if its related to a theme/plugin function removing the default view by troubleshooting.

If its not a theme/plugin issue we can check to see if its a possible bug causing an issue.
@rateyourway The “freshness” term has been removed from bbPress 2.6 (/dev) so you will not see it in the translation files, it is still there for the current bbPress 2.5.x see:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=freshness&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc#
Edit: The string may also be coming from your theme, switch themes to one of the included “Twenty” themes to double check.
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
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.

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!
