I did it very nice with activated TinyMce for bbpress (simple one) and media upload button.
Then with one snippet limmited users to se only own uploads. It is easy to find on Google.
Now with Shortcode UI (Shortake) it is very easy to make plenty of visual shortcodes for forum. So play with it and use it for attachments.There is allways way to remove other media modal tab items.
I will play a bit with it in future. BBC codes as shortcodes, etc.
@mimbelli, try not to revive 4y old posts please. Just post your own 🙂
For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.
If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.

yes i am doing php code and what my point is :
let us suppose we have 5 forum categories i want 3 of them to be listed separately and 2 of them listed separately no intermixing can i do that using bbpress ?
OK, my original premise was wrong but the results are much the same.
I will post this here to hopefully prevent anyone else going through the same pain.
My import didn’t fail because of an inability to deal with non-alpha chars. It failed because I have all the user emails set to anon@anon.com
This is because my import to bbPress started as a Yahoo group and I’m going via phpBB.
I wanted a way to easily identify the newly added users.
Anyway, if the email already exists, the converter will carry on.
Silently.
Leaving you to guess what the hell went wrong.
Rather than just output a single line at the end of user import:
Users Read [x] Duplicates found [x] Users added [x]
What do you mean with ‘Thread’ or ‘post’ ?
bbPress has forums, topics and replies. Depending on what you need I could point you in the correct direction.

Hi,
Some answers from my side:
– I don’t know IPB, so no idea what’s in there, but for almost everything there is somewhere a plugin available
– website and forum share users and the environment. Again with plugins a lot can be done (e.g. my bbP Move Topics is doing one switch from one to the other and soon also the other way around)
– version 2.6 is coming out very very soon, so yes, it’s still alive ! If you want to do a test, go for 2.6 immediately on https://bbpress.org/download/
Pascal.
codewise – start at
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
That is the template that displays the forum list, and work forward from there
Hello!
I just made a fresh WP install and added bbPres as the one and only plugin. Here is how bbPress looks with the default theme Twenty Sixteen, when the color scheme is switched to Dark: http://goo.gl/Lfw3ii
Absolutely unusable! I’m pretty sure the default WordPress theme should be supported by bbPress. Is this a bug?
To be sure there is nothing wrong with my WP+bbPress install, I just reinstalled WordPress from scratch and added bbPress as the one and only plugin (this is the default theme Twenty Sixteen).
Here is a screenshot: http://goo.gl/1Bll3A
Why bbPress ‘reserves’ this left-margin space. Can this indentation be disabled?
Thank you!
I’m currently managing a IPB 3.X forum with about 300 users and 20k posts. I have also a huge website with hundreds of articles. For several reason I would like to move away from IPB and I’m considering BBPress to manage in one way forum and website.
I would like to test a migration on a test site in the next few weeks. In the meantime I have some questions.
– Coming from IPB, what are the minimum essential plugins I need to get similar features?
– Which kind of integration I get between web site and forum? Could I share content each way?
I mean: a new article become a forum topic and a forum topic become an article.
– is BBPress still actively developed? Not to be polemic but looking at latest commit count and contributors it seems an alarming situation.
Thank you in advance
Hello!
I just placed bbPress to a page, using the shortcode ‘[bbp-single-forum id=xxx]‘. Here it is how it looks: http://goo.gl/nawXlP (this is a default Twenty Sixteen theme).
Now, if i click on a topic link, a giant left indentation is introduced: http://goo.gl/LxqQVf
Is there a way to disable this indentation? Forum is almost unusable in such a small width. I was trying something like:
.bbpress #primary {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 980px;
width: 100%;
}
But this does not works. Are there any ideas, how to eliminate this indentation?
Thank you!
Update:
I upgraded to bbPress 2.6 and the site seems to be responding now. Will keep everyone updated on how it goes.
Thanks
Hi @Pascal,
I successfully ran all the repair tools, but unfortunately I still have the issue.
I also moved my website later to a managed WordPress hosting provider that is optimized for performance, however I have same/worst performance issues. The only solution I had was to disable the bbPress plugin.
I am confident now that my server is okay.
Any more things I can try? I am thinking of trying 2.6 as well tonight.
Regards,

Just registered few minutes ago and I found this discussion…
Is BBPress still actively under development?
I’ve narrowed this down to the fact that it seems to be an issue with the display of subforums on the main forum index page. We have quite a few subforums so generating the list of forums and subforms takes a long time.
I can’t easily cache this page because different logged in users see different forums based upon permissions. I would think that some of this would be handled with object caching, but this performance is horrendous compared to our previous vbulletin install. I love many of the features of bbpress, but having users wait four to ten seconds for a page load isn’t a good experience.
Any suggestions on how I might improve performance (other than not displaying subforums on the home forums page)? I’m using xcache and have W3 Total Cache with object caching enabled.
For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’ (as Robin indicated), ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

suspect it is plugin related
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
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

There are (at least) a couple of tickets on this in the bbPress trac, no. 2722 and no. 2865.
No. 2865 has a patch marked “under consideration”. In case it helps anybody, we’ve wrapped this patch as a plugin for bbPress 2.5.8:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/fix-forum-emails/
This should help to fix problems with HTML entities in notification emails on vanilla bbPress installs. It’s intended as a workaround until the issue gets fixed in bbPress core.
The plugin won’t remove stray HTML or CSS in forum posts. Rogue markup like this can be caused by cut-and-paste operations in TinyMCE, aka the Visual Editor, if you have it enabled in bbPress. If you’re having these problems, we have another free plugin called “Forum Beginner Posts” in the repository. It enables TinyMCE for bbPress in paste-as-text mode by default.

Robin! You lead me down the path to find the problem!
It turns out it was the enormous amount of forums/categories underneath one category. When I broke the 365 forum categories into groups of 50, the speed improved.
Here’s what I found:
Every 20 forum categories within another forum category adds another second to the posting time. So 365 lesson categories within a single category called lessons = 18 seconds for a post to save and appear. When I broke the 365 lesson categories into 7 categories (“lessons 1-50” and so on…) I got the posting speed down to 2.5 seconds.
1. Is there a known issue with bbpress slowing down where there are a large number of “category” forums within another category? Now we know that that’s what my problem was.
2. Since we’re a new site with no posts yet, I have faith that a large number of posts and replys won’t slow down the forums like the issue defined and resolved above. Care to reassure me on this? 🙂
Thank you so much for your help!!

My forums have topics but no topics are showing. It is correctly showing:
“This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by…”
but also displays
“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
an no topics are listed.
I checked /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and no topics are associated with any forums. However, I re-associated each topic with the correct Forum and these changes were persisted on /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic but does not make any difference to the error above and no topics are listed within any forums.
Please advise where in the code I should start debugging?
Thanks
