Hello,
For Login and Register I am using URL in the menu provided in BBpress documentation and are working fine with Conditional Logic but for Logout What URL Should I use in Menu? or How can I setup Logout?
Thanks,
Vicky
Hi,
What you want to obtain is not just a basic setting in bbPress that you can switch on. It requires changing one of basic php files. As the golden rule is to never change any bbPress files directly, there are different ways of coming to what you want, in this case it would be copying the file from the bbPress folder/directory and modifying it. Information on creating a child theme can be found on the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
Hope that helps,
Pascal.
copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file
please what is child theme, and what do you mean by me adapting the file??
am sorry for my ignorance, thanks so much for the reply
Thanks @Robkk for the respond. but i have question about
Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
i only have child theme for the theme but bbprss is a plugin. are you saying i have to create a child theme for the plugin bbpress of how do i do that please?
There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]
You said there is a plugin to display latest post, how do i get the plugin?
Thank you so much.
Hi
I have created the Login/Register page. But while creating another page for ‘Lost Password’ its not working.
In Visual composer when I am adding the default page ‘bbpress Lost pasword’ it shows template added to page. But it remains blank. No element shows up.
Thanks

@kallard There is some layout issues still, hopefully my edited css will fix the rest.
bullets in front of everything
Wait! I got it! I went to the Artisteer forum and searched there. Probably should have done that in the first place.
The instructions were to add this at the bottom of the stylesheet:
#bbpress-forums li:before {content: ”!important;}
.b5-file-manager-folder li:before { content: ‘ ‘!important; }
No more random bullets.
Thanks for helping!
@casiepa – sorry, that’s weird because I had made it public for trouble shooting, but somehow it reset itself.
I recopied and pasted the above through the plugin, and nothing. I also tried in the stylesheet as well.
I tried adding !important – still nothing, though this could be user error, as I only have a novice level working knowledge of css. Below is what I entered, so not sure it is correct.
This is what I input:
.bbpress .art-postcontent ul>li,
.bbpress .art-post ul>li,
.bbpress .art-textblock ul>li {
overflow-x: visible !important;
overflow-y: visible !important;
}
.bbpress .art-postcontent ul>li,
.bbpress .art-post ul>li,
.bbpress .art-textblock ul>li {
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
.bbpress .art-postcontent ul>li:before,
.bbpress .art-post ul>li:before,
.bbpress .art-textblock ul>li:before {
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
.bbpress .art-postcontent ul>li:before,
.bbpress .art-post ul>li:before,
.bbpress .art-textblock ul>li:before {
content: “” !important;
margin-right: 0 !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
position: relative !important;
display: block !important;
}
.bbpress .art-postcontent li,
.bbpress .art-post li,
.bbpress .art-textblock li {
color: inherit !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
Hi,
To remove the messages above and below, you could use CSS like:
.bbp-template-notice {
display: none;
}
or use a plugin like bbP Toolkit.
To change the message so it includes the standard bbPress login, you would have to copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file. On line 175 add:
<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
so that it becomes:
<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
<p><?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?></p>
If you want to do something different, this is anyway the place to start from.
Pascal.
Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
Well I am not seeing an issue with my forums disappearing with WP Monalisa activated.
Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?
Well your not using TinyMCE so you would see the error I come across. Like said there is an issue, so you may not need to activate it. There is a plugin on wordpress repository and a code snippet in the codex to allow TinyMCE.
As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.
Yes, wordpress plugins do not work for the old standalone version, but with the plugin version. I cannot test to see if an install of bbPress v1 would cause an issue, as I cannot run this on wamp. Kind of do not know how to install bbPress v1 anyway.
Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:
A new version of WordPress probably removed the smilies setting like the wp monalisa plugin says, there was a version with that setting before.
Just ignore that error, it might be caused by something other than bbPress.
bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly
If you did not try the plugin troubleshooting already, do so.
@seyibest Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like
They added custom menu item links in the menu section. You can create links leading to the WordPress login/register forms. There is also this php code snippet here to add links, you might need to add a conditional to it for a specific menu.
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rkk_add_auth_links', 10 , 2 );
function rkk_add_auth_links( $items, $args ) {
if (is_user_logged_in() {
$items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
}
elseif (!is_user_logged_in() {
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword') .'">Lost Password</a></li>';
}
return $items;
}
and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?
There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]
On tab at the top of the browser the title of the page says like “Forum |”, and that’s all. At the same time all other pages not connected with bbpress display site titile correctly: “Page | Site title”. How to force bbpress to show something after the character “|”?
Thank you!
There could be a plugin that affects TinyMCE that could be causing this issue. Try some plugin troubleshooting.

I could also check out your theme if you tell me what it is.
@danceee3
Oh I forgot, put the customized loop-single-topic.php you have to a folder called bbpress in your child theme. bbPress should then use that file, and you should see the changes immediately.
I’m not a fan of the basic bbPress widget which shows my users the number of “empty topic tags.” That’s useless. I also want to just show “total posts” not replies and topics separately.
For a fun challenge I decided to make my own plugin which shows a very slightly different, but useful and configurable bbPress stats widget. Once I’m sure it is clean and ready for public use I’ll submit it to the WP plugins.
A live version can be found here: http://www.utehub.com/forums/
You can just use the code I posted here. It is more customizable then the other one in the codex article and the other topic you linked to. I might change it in the codex article later on to this one too.
Login, Register, Lost Password links
You can put a custom page like this '/page-slug/'. Here I made it so where when a user logs out they go to a page called “Logout” that has the permalink slug “logout”.
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rkk_add_auth_links', 10 , 2 );
function rkk_add_auth_links( $items, $args ) {
if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu') {
$items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url('/logout/') .'">Log Out</a></li>';
}
elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu') {
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword') .'">Lost Password</a></li>';
}
return $items;
}
Since I see you have Avada, you may need to go through some plugin troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
Also your notification bar says for users to not register, you can disallow that by going into Settings > General and disable Anyone can register. Enable it again whenever you want.
Try this custom css, I think I got ahold of most of the styles you would need to fix this issue. Make sure to place these CSS styles into your child themes stylesheet or anywhere else you can place custom CSS styles into, like in a separate plugin
#bbpress-forums ul>li {
overflow-x: visible !important;
overflow-y: visible !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
#bbpress-forums ul>li:before {
margin-left: 0 !important;
content: ‘‘ !important;
margin-right: 0 !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
position: relative !important;
display: block !important;
}
#bbpress-forums li {
color: inherit !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?
bbPress cannot do this by default, you may need a plugin for this. I think their is one in the WordPress repository called bbPress bbPress post by email. It needs to be hooked up with an SMTP service though.
This is a known bug. HEre is the ticket.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690
@tkserver’s right it is a bit of both.
@wafadul follow this topic if you haven’t seen @tkserver’s BuddyPress topic yet.
BBpress post edit causes multiple activity entries
On my menu on wordpress I am getting link.com/forum-4/ and I cant remove the “-4”?
Well you created a page called forum 3 other times that is why it adds the -4 to the end.
If you are creating a “forum page”, know that you really do not have to do this. Just go to /forums or whatever the forum root slug is set in your forum settings in Settings > Forums.
I’m getting the same error on bbpress with some forums.
Are you naming a forum, “forum”??
Also, where is the function for users to register and their profiles?
Since your using the bbPress plugin, you register through WordPress login and register forms. bbPress has some shortcodes you can place in a page, and they will redirect you to the default WordPress forms since they aren’t really dedicated forms.
Profiles should be present if users click their name on the bbPress login widget, the author link in their posts, or you can add a custom menu item using a function in this guide.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
@kallard
This is a common layout issue and like you said caused by the themes css and because bbPress uses lists instead of a table layout.
You can most likely fix this just with some Custom CSS. When I visited your site I do not see the discussion forums present, so can you activate bbPress again so I can help with this by giving you some CSS to fix the layout issue.
