I have just tried to load the wp-monalisa plugin and it turned everything in my Forums OFF.
What exactly did it turn off?? I have an issue where the smiley code won’t paste and that is it.
Was a bit disconcerting as when I logged into the Forum the forum index did not show and the links to the Forum would not work, nor the pages.
Link to your forum so I could see this. It may just be a bbPress theme compat/theme issue.
There must be a hick up somewhere as I don’t have anything special – just the BBPress Forum plugin and the Ultimate Member plugin.
I could replicate an issue a little with using a default theme and while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one it doesn’t seem to work unless I switch to TinyMCE and back.
It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

First don’t bump up 7 year old topics, it is annoying.
Second that bbPress in this topic was a standalone forum software and is entirely different from the plugin version now.
bbPress can use WordPress’s supplied smilies.

🙂 🙁 😛
And even its emojis

💀 👻 👽 😺 😸 😹 😻 😼 😽 🙀 😿 😾 🙌 👏 👋 👍 👊
Roll on 7 years and there are still no dedicated emoticons/smilies for BBPress. I’ve been testing the forum for use, but what forum on earth is worth its while if it doesn’t have smilies?
I tried the recommended wp-monalisa and ironically that completely disables BBPress when it is activated.
NOT impressed!
BBPress Version 2.5.8
Buddy Press Version 2.4.0
Word Press Version 4.3.1
Theme Twenty Fourteen
Site http://www.spannersofdoom.com
This site was working fine but suddenly when a user is logged on it shows the forum name and the number of topics and replies but then shows the statement: Oh bother! No topics were found here!
When logged in as Admin everything appears as it should
I have deactivated and reactivated BBPress, made all the repairs, tried to build a separate Forum, all to no avail
Any Ideas please ?………. Oh and on the Forum Statistics on the Sidebar it still says Forums 0
Very grateful for any help.

Hi!
After a google search, it looks like, there is no way to edit the links/breadcrumbs, if you have a bbpress-forum in WP installed: Always there is a “forum/forum” in the breadcrumb/link.
HOW I CAN DELETE (Actualy) “ONE FORUM” ?
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
I have been struggling with this for a few days now and I’m tearing my hair out!
It’s absolutely crucial that my forum only displays Usernames and NOT real names.
This thread seems to be the most promising info I could find…
User profile link, only show username.
I tried Robin’s Plugin…
bbpress username plugin
And I got REALLY excited as it seemed to do the trick. HOWEVER, I found one deal-breaker: When you look at the Forum Index- the plugin seems to put the Avatar of the latest Fresh post but show the Username of the Oldest post in that forum. Freshness time is displayed correctly.
If I Deactivate the plugin, All data is correct again, but obviously I am then getting real names displayed again.
I have emailed Robin to see if he is still supporting the plugin and can rectify.
Is there anybody here who would very kindly be able to walk me through step-by-step how to make this work. I don’t mind editing PHP files- I have no experience in PHP, but I can open them with Notepad and copy/paste text if someone can steer me.
I am so desperately frustrated with this issue. It’s to the detriment of my forum as members are reluctant to post unless its just their Username that is shown.
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ian
A. image upload option to tool bar
You can use the simple external link image button and oembed for images hosted on imgur.
There are two plugins that can add image uploading in bbPress though.
gd bbPress attachments for file attachments upload is not through the toolbar though
BuddyPress Forum editor which adds a TinyMCE upload image button, but requires BuddyPress, and I am not sure how this could work with TinyMCE Advanced.
B. video upload option to tool bar
oembed will you embed youtube videos automatically by placing the url of the video straight into the forum post.
C. more options (font size, family, remove formatting, et etc) to the tool bar
You would need to enable tinymce in bbPress either through a plugin like the bbPress enable visual tab plugin or by adding the code snippet in this guide.
Enable Visual Editor
To have the extra buttons, the plugin TinyMCE Advanced would help, as long as you have teeny mode set to false in code snippet or enable the extra buttons through the bbPress visual tab plugin.
Hello!
Hope, you feel well at this weekend!
I have a question: exist a bbpress-plugin (free or comercial), with what i can show attachments (not only picturs) “inline”, inside a posting – not only at the end?
Thank you all!
Hello !
I`m new to WP and – sure – new here. English is not my native language, please sorry for any mistakes.
Installed WP and a premium-theme in XAMPP today, together with Buddypress and bbpress.
I want to ask, how i can make a “widget” (?) like this one, on this site:
Is this a custom widget?
Thank you in advance!
WP-4.3.1/Jolene/bbPress-2.5.8
Going crazy here. Just building a “live” version of a site I tried WP out on. Installed same plugins as previous site, set up forums like previous site etc etc.
Problem is when I go to Appearance>Menus to make a custom menu, I have four tabs: Pages; Posts; Custom Links; Catergories.
On the site I learned WP on I also have four tabs: Pages; Forums; Custom Links; Categories.
How do I get Posts to go and Forums to appear? I’ve tried various deactivations of plugins and re-install of all the bbPress stuff without success.
Have I missed something or do I need to start from scratch?
Cheers,
Eugene.

Contact your theme author’s support.
I think your theme may be missing the bbpress-rtl.css stylesheet.
Support for 3.1x is in the 2.6 version of bbPress, which hasn’t released yet.
I think bbPress already does this for users that are not at least an Admin.
In this gist there is a list of the used tags a participant user can use, well expect for the tables, that was added in the gist as an example of adding more tags.
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990
Have they fixed it so you can import from phpBB version 3.1.x yet? I’ve been waiting awhile to convert to get this updated, but I don’t have any way to know if it supports it yet or not (at least that I could find).
I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.
There isn’t a setting by default in bbPress. THere are a ton of plugins for this though.
This plugin that I found might work for you.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-notify-admins/
I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin
It should be there if you are using the bbPress plugin.
Is the data blank but the users are there, can you not see the columns or something??
We are currently using BBPress on our site for a forum. We noticed that it was possible to enter in a script block with an alert box in the middle. On submission, the alert box would be displayed. This could obviously be used in a more malicious way so I had some concerns around this.
My question is therefore, is there any way that script tags can be filtered out of BBPress posts?. Or even better, do not allow any HTML/SCRIPT to be entered.
Hi, let me try to cut these questions in different parts.
I only get email notifications on some new topics and replies.
Some basic things: You need to subscribe to the forum to get new topics. You need to subscribe to the topic to get the replies. You will not get notifications for your own topics that you post.
Said that, it seems that on some forums there are issues in getting out the emails. You could try by installing a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ and I would also suggest to use an SMTP tool (like postman smtp or other) that has good logs so you can find out what is happening.
I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.
As you are on the bbPress forum, I suppose you talk about ‘topic’ and not ‘post’ ? If you talk about new topics, you need to be sure to be subscribed to the forum. You could use a plugin e.g bbP Manage Subscriptions to have the overview of who is subscribed to what forum.
I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin….
If you just use bbPress on WordPress, you have to find them there. If not, you will have to ask in a pure wordpress forum. If you would also use BuddyPress, then it’s better to ask in their forum.
Hope it gives you some directions.
Pascal.

Hi,
This is unfortunately a known bug : https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2876
We hope that in the upcoming version 2.6 it is included.

Hello,
I recently added a bbpress forum to my wordpress site and I encounter a weird bug with the freshness column. If I delete a post in a topic the freshness column on the forum page display the date and author of the topic, not the last reply.
Here are some screens :
In the topic section (Which display the right information) : http://imgur.com/fHeSVrD
in the forum section (Which display the wrong information) : http://imgur.com/Xlg7UQX
I tried to do a repair through the forums tools in wp-admin but the bug is still here.
If someone have an idea.
Thank you,
Jaeha
What can I do ?
I tried to delete bbPress and reinstall it, with no change.
I can try to delete it and clear the database ?
Ideas ?
Here is the hack we are using to make our custom filter work:
<?php
function likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
global $wp_filter;
$return = '';
if (count($m) == 3) {
// Do something here
// We modify global wp_filter to call our bbPress wrapper function
if (isset($wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications'])) {
$wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications']['function'] = 'likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications';
}
return $return;
}
return $action;
}
// bbPres has a bug:
// https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/return-value-in-bbp_format_buddypress_notifications/
// https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6669
// Filter must be called before corresponding bbPress filter
add_filter('bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 5, 5);
// Wrapper for bbp_format_buddypress_notifications function as it is not returning $action
function likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
$result = bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format);
if (!$result) {
$result = $action;
}
return $result;
}
I have found that this is a plugin issue. Not a BBPress issue. So now I have to see if I can fix that LOL
