besides all the wonderful and appreciated help here on the bbpress forums, what do you do with bbpress?
I would love to see more websites showcased and since you @robkk are leading the herd now I am in need to see the best bbpress forums online from you, I bet you made a few by now.
I personally get a lot of inspiration looking at other forums and see how people make the code their own but can not find a descent showcase anywhere.
Looking forward to be amazed

Hi everyone,
First I would like to say thanks to bbpress creator, its amazing.
However, Im facing some problem in the mobile. The name is not beneath the cover image. it looks very weird. Despite removing mycred rank logo, it remain the same thing.
Can someone help?
Hi, our worpress site uses twenty fifteen theme and we want to add a forum to it. I am wondering if bbpress would be a good idea and will fit in the main content div without any problems. I read somewhere that bbpress has a strnage bahviour using this theme due to the big sidebar. Any experiences? Should we go with bbpress if we use this theme or better a separate forum script like phpbb? The site is this one Bellefem adelgazar. Thanks!!
My bad it is called the (bbPress) login widget.
I got confused of this custom widget I created that is a fork of the same code.
Something like this might work. In the post views plugin you will need to edit how it displays so it does not show “views” at the end of the number. If you do not want to mess with anymore files, or change the template view, just use the function in this post I created in this kind of similar topic.

<li class="bbp-topic-views-count"><?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?></li>
CSS
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-topic-views-count {
float: left;
width: 15%;
text-align: center;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-topic-title {

text-align: left;

}
Also make sure to surround your code with the backticks from the code button in the toolbar.

I told them this forum is starting point to “sell” bbPress to public. But they think not so.
Dont worry about Plugin Organizer. I use it on all websites, even those with only few pages. Just install it and enjoy.
And I wish this forum did a bit more to sell BBPress, where are the showcases, the paid for professionals and why is this theme still sooooo boring.
Why not integrate more with Buddypress forums, as I can not believe people only using BBPress on its own, I want a better profile.
Why not have the option to test plugins on this site with live demos.
Why not have a clear donation button on your site, or do anything to receive funds to spend time improving the BB line.
Perhaps charge people 1 euro to download BBPress first time then free for life through account, perhaps the free model gives more awareness but BBPress is good enough to compete with expensive forum software.
Why not compete with codecanyon and offer premium plugins that work without conflicts.
Why not hire me as vice president of BBCorp and pay me lots, I accept jellybeans as currency.
Anyway, as mentioned before loving BBPress.
P.H.
Will look at that plugin, sounds good if it does not create conflicts with my custom theme.
Had to google Bootstrap
I am almost ready with mobile version of my theme, actually not too bad to do with minimal css coding.
Will have a look at that bootstrap thingy, perhaps I can copy and paste my way to integration, give me a few years and it will be done…lol
I guess Php and Java should become easier over time for most, I get how some hooks work and understand the logic of a certain line of code, but do not know to write a line of Php or Java if my live depended on it, start to panic when databases are mentioned..lol
More like a blind guy trying to finish a puzzle, keep banging pieces together until they stuck.
But I must say that peoples reaction give me a warm gooey feeling inside, and should show everyone here that BBPress can be whatever you want it to be, if I can do it so can you…
P.H.
Plugin Organizer plugin is good to prevent CSS, JS files to be called on bbPress forum pages, if they dont belong there.
And the WordPress/BBPress combo is actually quite easy to play with, took me a while (2 years almost) to understand the code but now like a puzzle that is relatively easy to manipulate.
Only big issue I always find is the massive amounts of javascript and css queries, trying soon to combine a bit more.
So when I go to my members page all that I am seeing is my friends not the 7 people that have created an account. So that I can send them friend request.
Thank You Brian
Welcome to WordPress 4.5.2
I am using bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.
Version 2.5.9 |
BuddyPress helps you build any type of community website using WordPress, with member profiles, activity streams, user groups, messaging, and more.
Version 2.5.3
BuddyPress Activity Plus A Facebook-style media sharing improvement for the activity box.
Version 1.6.4
Thanks Robkk, but I’m still struggling a little. Are you able to offer any further guidance to help me neaten things up.
I’ve changed my CSS to:
li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
float: left;
text-align: left;
width: 40%;
}
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-topic-views-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 8%;
}
li.bbp-topic-freshness {
text-align: center;
float: left;
width: 18%;
}
And I’ve created a loop-topics.php in my child theme which I’ve edited as:
<li class=”bbp-header”>
<ul class=”forum-titles”>
<li class=”bbp-topic-title”><?php _e( ‘Topic’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( ‘Replies’, ‘bbpress’ ) : _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”><?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php _e( ‘Voices’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-freshness”><?php _e( ‘Freshness’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
I’ve also edited loop-single-topic.php in my child theme (to get views on topics, rather than the forum as a whole), which I’ve edited as (from about line 86):
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”>
<?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?>
Yeah I need to look into that, tried a few years ago but really did not understand how to, even with lots of tutorials.
I do actually have a test site where I keep most of my clients sites during production, url is http://www.my-latest.com and I should use it more…lol
Really not a webdeveloper by trade, just a hobby and being anal about controlling everything myself.
onlijn.com is more of a fun project that had no time allocated for a while, but I am getting to understand BBPress better every time I use it.
Now just completed a BBPress forum at seedism.nl and very happy with the outcome once again.

Ofcourse it is a lot easier now that BBPress and Buddypress have added some core functions that took a lot of hacking a few years ago.
Still loving BBPress and convinced it is the better option for forums.
Peace

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, the short code was used for one “logout” plugin and it was later removed due to compatibility issue with my theme.
Can you please tell me, where I get this “bbPress profile widget ” ?
Await your reply.
Regards,
Ajit
Okay, now I’m very confused. It appears to be the WP Spamshield plug-in–but I have another install with both bbPress and Spamshield and it works fine (which is why I didn’t bother testing it at first).
I’ll check the support page for the plug-in.
For those who have added the code from palmdoc’s instructions here, you’ll also likely need to change user role permissions so that they can upload inline images to all topics. Solution is here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-upload-media-in-bbpress/#post-175834
So after updates with BBPress and Buddypress my site is currently broken but will have it up and running soon again with a much improved code.
Hi I have deactivated all plugins except the BBpress plugins
still the same problem just comes back with the last item on the blog.
have also changed the theme to twentyfifteen with all plugins disabled except BBpress.
Same problem!!!
I recently migrated a phpBB forum to bbPress. I currently use 2.6 alpha version. The participants count of all topic is 0. When I try to run the fixing tool it reset all the topics to 1. Even if there are several participants and it happen also for a new topics on the forum after the migration. I think that it doesn’t count the gusets, the participants who don’t have account on the forum. It should also count the guest participants because for a forum that allow to guests to post topics there is no point to show the count of participants if all topics shows 0.

Fresh install of WordPress 4.5.2
Fresh install of bbPress 2.5.9-6017
Only other plugin: WP Spamshield
Theme: Moon
Site: GeekNiche.com
All settings left at default.
As Admin/Keymaster, I am unable to create new topics or reply to topics already posted, when in the forums. I can post a new topic from the dashboard.
The error (when trying to post from the forums) reads:
ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.
To test, I created a new user with the “participant” role. That user can create new topics and reply to topics. It’s only the Keymaster who is forbidden from posting.
This would appear to be a problem. 🙂
Hello,
I implemented a basic BBPress to our secured site. all members are registered and automatically assign them to participants. But after a week when I visited some topics went to trash, spam and closed. I checked bbpress code and I can not find any cron task and I`m not using Akismet at all.
I hope you can help me.
Many Thanks 🙂
