Hi all-
Is there an ability in bbPress (perhaps a plugin) to close a thread after “x” number of days, but allow a participant to re-open it if they really feel so inclined?
If everything works on WordPress, but it’s really related to bbPress, then check out http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/
Hi, do you mean the color of the text ?
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}

Hi,
If you talk about plain WordPress with bbPress installed on top of it, then both users and emails are handled by WordPress. Creation of a new user is a WordPress thing, not related to bbPress.
Do you get emails for normal things you do in WordPress ? Are you using any SMTP tool ? Are you sure emails do not arrive in your spam ?
If emails work for WordPress, then don’t forget that you will not receive an email for your own topics…

Hi,
How can I migrate vBulletin forum data to WordPress bbPress forum? Is there any easy way around or any sort of plugin. I wanna know is anyone had done this before?
I found this plugin CMS2CMS: Automated vBulletin to bbPress Migrator but its free version is limited and I haven’t tried it yet though.
Hi! When I am on topic page my forum breadcrumbs looks like home – forums – forum – *forum_name* – *topic_name* Forums and forum have the same link to main forum page
How can I make them looks like home – forums – *forum_name* – *topic_name* ??
bbPress 2.5.8-5815 WP4.4.1 with Kleo theme
It looks that my problem ist related to this one:
Lost permissions for administrator
I am the admin of my site. And of course I would like to setup a forum. So how can i become a keymaster on my own site? 😉 …

Hello,
With the code snippet I found here I was able to only show one reply revision log, namely the most recent one.
I would now like to move the revision log out of the reply itself and show it right below. I’m not sure which could I’d have to move to where. If anyone would have some directions that would great, thank you!
Update:
There is one place, where bbpress shows up within the backend. On the dashboard there’s the little widget, which shows some information about how many posts were written and how many users are there … and so on.
SO: When clicking on (for example) hidden answers, it should open a site, where i could edit them, to show up or delete them, or whatever …
But there comes an error message: You are not allowed to edit this (something like that – as it shows up in german on my site).
Now:
In the past I also tested a few plugin to handle user roles. But all of them are uninstalled. Might there be a problem with an old user role, which is still active? Strange enough, as I always was set as the keymaster!?
Best regards
Torsten
I am working on wordpress project, In this I need to enable bbpress Forum to buddypress group section only. And not other forum functionality out of the group.
Please guide me any hook or other solution which will help me to implement this functionality.
Thanks
I am trying to edit replies within the admin panel and can’t access pages 2 onwards.
Page 1 works perfectly fine – and I am able to edit all replies that show on the page. The error also occurs when trying to see posts from a certain month only.
Using wordpress: 4.3.2
Bbpress: 2.5.8
Thanks in advance
Hi dear BBPress Community,
after a long while of thinking about using bbpress or not – i decided to use it. The thing is, that I had installed it once (a long while ago). And now I reinstalled it to configure and use it in combination with Buddypress.
But then – HEY – It is (although activated) completely invisible in my wordpress backend. I created a site called “forum” to see if there is something it puts out in the frontend. And yes – there are even my old test-forums shown, which I had created two years ago.
But still no chance to see or change any option in my backend.
Strange!
Can someone help, please? 😉
Warmest regards
Torsten
I use the traditional forum outputting as well as shortcodes in posts.
Now I want to differentiate the output format, but both the shortcodes and standard output use the template content-single-topic.
How can I test if the template was included from bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php so that I can apply different styling.
A lot of the image attachment plugins are pretty limited. The one I’m using that covers the bare minimum requirements is called “bbPress Multi Image Uploader.” It at least lets you see the images you have uploaded when you go back and edit the message.
After the update from WordPress 4.3.1 to 4.4.1 I receive the error message “ERROR: Please enter a nickname.” when I try to change any profile field in the bbpress profile frontend.
I was able to verify the bug without no other plugins enabled. I also verified that the bug does not exist in WordPress 4.3.1.
Is this a WordPress or a bbpress bug?
I just ported a Dot Net Nuke site to Word Press and migrated the Active Forums forum to bbPress. This is a forum that only has 4000 uers, 20K topics and 200K replies. Even running locally with no other users it is very sluggish running on bbPress. Other related plugins I’m running that might effect speed are WP eMembers, bbPress Multi Image Uploader and bbPress Pencil Unread. I still need to add a plugin for signatures and probably another one for statistics. But the bottom line is I should be getting snappy response times when clicking on forums and topics on a locally staged site with a forum of this size and no other concurrent users, but I’m not.
A lot of reviews assume bbPress should be fast due to being “lightweight,” but I think database design has more to do with speed. The big problem I see with bbPress is that they are piling ALL data into a single wp_posts table, where a lot of other word press plugins also seem to like to pile their data into. While most forum software have separate tables for forums, topics, replies and attachments in order to minimize the amount of data that has to be sifted through on each query, bbPress just puts them all in one giant table and then uses post_type to sort them out. There are also no stored procedures or views being used to help optimize performance. So it is really no surprise that it is as slow as it is. Why on earth the designers chose to just glom onto an existing WP table intended for blog posts instead of using separate purpose-built tables is beyond me, but I would be very leery of running any large forums on this thing. I would also be very surprised if version 2.6 makes it any faster.
Is there any way that my members can add photos to their posts without having to use the Media Uploader or Library – i.e. I don’t want them to have to access Admin back end.
I was hoping to find a plugin that would do this but have only been able to find GD bbPress Attachments and rtMedia. These plugins do not do what I would like them to do.
Are there any other options?
Thank you.
My issues with colors are #5 & #8 that have been inherited from my theme.
So, if I use the code below, where do I include #000000 for all of the text content to be black?
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 12px;
}
Hey superaven,
That’s a perfect answer, actually. I was hoping that the move was successful, but even with what you shared, there’s still value in your answer. So thanks for that.
We’re currently testing BBPress and plan to test Xenforo and Discourse as well. Xenforo has its origins in VB, so to us, that seemed like the most like-for-like switch, but as we’re also a WP shop, with 10 years worth of posts, we were hoping to bring everything to WP, or find something with cleaner integration with WP. bbPress is/was our hope for that. As we currently stand, with our hybrid WP/VB site, user authentication, access control, and user profile data defaults to VB, using an open-source VB plugin. We want to bring that into WP, so we can take advantage of some other WP-specific plugins/services, keeping that user profile data (and profile pages) in WP instead, without needing custom code. Having all of that under one roof has its obvious advantages.
We’ll continue to test bbPress and the other platforms on our end. Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.
Hi Folks,
I thought I had this nailed but my forums are not sending out any messages re new posts.
I’m using the following setup:
WP version 4.4.1
Theme Jolene 1.1.5

bbPress version 2.5.8-5815
site url http://conwycameraclub.co.uk

This is a real pain as I’ve only just created the user accounts for the club membership at:
conwycameraclum.co.uk/forums
I’ve checked all the setting options on the associated plugins but can’t find anything that could be causing the problem. Sending a test message from postman SMTP works and the site is providing admin messages re users changing passwords etc. Seams only bbP that doesn’t want to comunicate.
Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Eugene
@casiepa,
Thanks for the feedback.
I was able to import approx 1500 user successfully but one issue I am facing is I can not login to my bbpress site with my xenforo user password?
-> Does bbpress is auto generating password and sending to user email ?
-> If not bbpress is sending new password to user then how user will be able to login into my bbpress site ?
Thanks,
Multidots
Hi,
Is there an option(or a plugin) for bbPress that will allow me to moderate posts of certain users? I’d like to have some users moderated so that each post they make(replies to existing posts) will have to wait for admin’s approval.
Thank you.
