On issue 1
The code goes on then functions file of your child theme

on issue 2, pending 2.6 coming out containing a fix (neither currently has any timescales)
the you can achieve this with my private groups plugin

see the help page for how to set up
I am using bbpress 2.5.9 and WP 4.5.3 for a club website where the forums are only available to logged in Participants.
On vBulletin forums I’m a member of, there’s a Member List available to any logged in Member which shows user name, contact info, number of posts, etc. Is it possible to have something like that using bbPress? If so, how?
Thank you
To answer your 2nd question: “Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?”
– They have a 9 year old ticket open to add this feature to bbPress.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459
Looks like it is almost complete. The current plan is release with version 2.6 (current version is 2.59). With such an old ticket, history suggests is could get pushed back to later versions though.
What? No I am not leading the herd haha.
Im still learning like the rest of you guys. While I do have some themes in my backpocket and some yet to be released, there seems to be always soemthing I can improve on these things before I even think about releasing them. I am actually getting more free time soon, so maybe I can actually start giving support for these themes I release in full now.
The best forums that I have seen used bbPress are the developers of the Tameriel Foundry and HigherExistence forum for bbPress v2, and the wpmudev.org and ACF forum for bbPress v1.
All the developers that created each of those forums are leading the herd in my opinion, and you should check them out.
Robin there is a few functions already in bbPress that might be useful to use, and it might cut some of your code some.
http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.8/#index=u&search=bbp_user_profile
This should do what you want
//add profile link to forums
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'rew_profile_link' ) ;
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_forums_index', 'rew_profile_link' ) ;
function rew_profile_link () {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return ;
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user=$current_user->user_nicename ;
$user_slug = get_option( '_bbp_user_slug' ) ;
if (get_option( '_bbp_include_root' ) == true ) {
$forum_slug = get_option( '_bbp_root_slug' ) ;
$slug = $forum_slug.'/'.$user_slug.'/' ;
}
else {
$slug=$user_slug . '/' ;
}
$edit_profile = __('Edit Profile', 'bbp-style-pack') ;
//get url
$url = get_site_url();
$profilelink = '<a href="'. $url .'/' .$slug. $user . '/edit">'.$edit_profile.'</a>';
echo '<div style="text-align: center;">'.$profilelink ;
}
add it to your functions file
https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
You will need to change a template, so if you can edit a file and know FTP then you can amend this
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-topic.phpbbPress will now use this template instead of the original and you can amend this.
Now go to line 68, which says
<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>
and delete this and save the file
I don’t think there is a character limit when you post a reply or topic with more than 300 characters.
Check to see if it could be some spam plugin with a feature for this, or a custom theme feature by doing the listed plugin and theme troubleshooting.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/
Hey guys! I’m sure this is a quick php edit or something, but it seems when creating a new thread or replying to one on my bbpress forums, if the post contains over about 300 characters, the entire post gets eaten…and sort of becomes this phantom post. It’s really disheartening as you can imagine and I’ve literally scoured my WP files looking for a way to change this limit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m using the 2.5.9 version of bbPress plugin in the latest version of WordPress and would like to remove this tab, but I can not. Can someone help me?
Here’s a print for better understanding: http://www.siteconcursos.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Capturar.jpg
You weren’t very specific but this plugins should do it.
Go to the users list by the user you want to see how many posts they made a certain month by clicking the view stats link by their avatar, then filter by month to see how much they posted.

The issue also does happen in TwentyFifteen.
The issue is because in the bbPress default theme package, there is a template called content-search.php. In some newer themes there is also a template of the same name. And since the bbPress templates don’t necessarily need to be in a bbPress folder, the bbPress plugin is choosing the template from your theme before the template that is actually in bbPress.
Copy content-search.php from the bbPress plugin templates and place it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress. This fixed the issue you are getting in a free version of your currently active theme.

Also just created a trac ticket for this issue.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2966
Folks, I’m new to bbPress, but I’m setting it up for a client’s membership site. They want a general forum for their members, where any member can post at any time (in other words, no moderation before posting).
Then they want a more-restrictive forum, where members can create drafts which must be approved before they are published.
I’ve tested bbP with bbPress Moderation by Ian Stanley, and it works in general — but requiring all posts to be moderated. I’m currently working with FV bbPress Tweaks, which appears to be brand new, but also seems to work and has a few more features.
However, I’m not seeing anything that allows settings for individual forums. Seems like the sort of thing people would want.
This all-or-nothing approach seems baffling to me, so I’m hoping that I’ve missed something obvious. Any relief here?
I can’t immediately see the issue.
If you have tried with just twentyfifteen and bbpress, then not sure how to progress next.
@robkk – any ideas?
@rda5009
Thanks for sharing that you found a plugin that does this kind feature. I am sure it will be really useful to a ton of other users that use Group Forums using bbPress and BuddyPress.
@scootsafe
Since you enabled threaded replies, which has an issue with some mobile responsive styles because how they are by default. Try this custom CSS, or disable threaded replies and see if your forums have a better layout, though I am not sure how the mycred badges will react.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
display: block !important;
}
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
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
Peter
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.

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.
