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.

All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.
That’s what it is supposed to do – click my name here and you’ll go to my profile !

If you look for a coder concerning WP/bbPress, don’t forget to post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Still not working.
Before my first post I did try those two steps (I was paying attention and did read the “Before posting” post at the top of the page).
But I did try again. I deactivated all but bbpress. When I attempted to change the theme to twentyfifteen I discovered that I didn’t have the most up to date version of WordPress, so I updated it. I now have all but bbpress deactivated and the twentyfifteen theme installed, and still no luck with the forums.
I appreciate all your help. Any more ideas?
I’ve never heard of Dizkus 🙁
You could try making some more changes to the phpBB importer yourself if it already partially works:
Custom Import
Also checkout both of these for SMF and phpBB for the upcoming bbPress 2.6 release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php
before you do that, lets just eliminate theme and plugin.

Cool…
Looking into supporting importing avatars to at least support BuddyPress’ avatars out of the box is one of the many things on my todo list that I just haven’t got to yet, maybe I’ll take a look at it for bbPress 2.7, 2.6 is close to being out the door so fingers crossed for 2.7 😉
If you look at the phpBB importer it has the callback_html and parses a bunch or regular expressions to manipulate the previous BBCode or HTML strings, will that work for you?

Awesome 🙂
Just to add that the standard Drupal forums module for Drupal 7 was included in bbPress 2.5, I’m not sure if there is anything in that that you may not have in your Drupal 6.
Also, two of the importers SMF and phpBB have some cool new things for the upcoming bbPress 2.6, importing favourites, subscriptions, anonymous topics/replies/posts, you may want to have a look there to see if they help in importing more data from Drupal

Hi,
If you have bbPress 2.5.8, you should have ‘Tools > Forums > Import Forums’.
If you start from scratch, know that version 2.6-alpha has better import functionalities. Although already very stable, as it says, it’s still alpha version.

Hi,
So you have bbPress translated into CZ if I understand correctly ?
If so, would you mind helping with the translation for the whole CZ community ? https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/cs/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
If you are interested, I can guide you on becoming PTE for bbPress, let me know. Then you can import you .po file and everybody can have bbPress in CZ then !
Thanks,
Pascal.
Hi,
You could do this by copying the bbPress php file needed to a (child) theme and then modify it accordingly.

I had looked at several videos and none of them talked about step 3 and setting up a page. I have now done that and I can view the page (called: forums). And the test forum I set up has “forums” in the forum root slug heading. But I still get page not found. This is the address of the forum I have set up:
http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/dmforum/
I’m now starting to wonder if the issue has to do with Aabaco. This is the company that recently took over the Yahoo web hosting. I followed the guide above step-by-step I’ve even tried deleting all of the created pages and forums I’ve set up, deleted bbpress from my plugins and then reinstalled it and tried again – I’ve actually done this several times. Do you think a call to Aabaco might solve the issue?
ok, how have you set your forum up ?
Have you been through
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
in particular step 3?
Hiya,
I apologize if this is the wrong section but I have a quick inquiry for you all. Is there a bbpress plugin that creates a notifications widget.
So basically say a standard user is sent a private message from another user but I’ve removed my admin bar…. is there an existing plugin to create a widget that would display notifications which I could place on my page to show that private message is waiting to be read in a similar way to the admin bar?
Alternatively how would one go about editing the admin bar to remove the content to the left like the wordpress logo or “visit site” / dashboard tachometer icon?
Thanks in advance to all who respond!
yes you can create new roles with custom capabilities

Is it possible to install bbPress 2.6 to import a phpBB 3.1 and then downgrade bbPress to stable 2.5.8 (if necessary)?
Thanks

What files and what way am I supposed to modify if I wish to change the appearance of bbpress login form in this way? My forum: http://www.posuzujeme.cz
Original login form layout:
Bewished login form layout:
WordPress v. 4.4.2
bbPress v. 2.5.8.
At last it works with bbpress-cs_CZ.mo and bbpress-cs_CZ.po in ../wp-content/languages/bbpress folder.
Dear let-me-see.
I see you managed to get the Yoast SEO plugin to insert a page title and a noindex in your bbpress user profile URLs (/users/, /users/<username>/topics and users/<username>/replies).
Would you be so kind to tell me how you manage to do this?
I am having the same troubles, as the profile pages have a strange page title and I can’t ‘see’ these profile taxonomies in the Yoast SEO plugin to set a manual page title and/or set a noindex on these URLs.
I hope you can help me out! Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
