Participants cannot use shortcodes by default in bbPress.
You will have to use a filter to allow the shortcodes.
I will post a code snippet and possibly link to a guide when I am off mobile.
Also weird picture to use for your second example haha
WP= 4.3.1 Theme= Jolene bbPress= 2.5.8 bbP Toolkit= 1.0.4 bbP Manage Subscriptions= 1.2.0
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab= 1.0.1
Hi Guys,
I’m having a bit of bother when using the visual editor in my forums. As an administrator I can get the image to align (eg) centrally but as a regualy user (Participant) the alignment wont take unless I add a caption.
In all cases when I add a caption the html for the caption tag shows in the post.
I’ve checked all the settings for all the plugin’s but cant find anything to correct this.
Two examples via links. First as Admin second as Subscriber/Participant.
posted by admin
posted by a regular user
Here is the code that is showing via the Text tab in the users post dialogue:
HOT, HOT, HOT...or what?
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="306"]<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/08/22/21/2B94BD3600000578-3207215-The_original_Spamela_Hamderson_puppet_recycled_to_create_curvy_b-a-40_1440274103479.jpg" alt="miss piggy" width="306" height="372" /> You want some of this?[/caption]
FINALLY figured it.
It was the use of emoji’s in his replies.
If someone uses an iPhone emoji, it still shows in BBPress, but for some reason the entry ISN’T placed in the activity stream.
Not quite sure if BBPress or BuddyPress is the culprit for that.
Since the page you refer to, Pascal, says:
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to ascertain from within bbPress exactly what other plugin causes this to happen, so bbp_setup_current_user comes up in the logs.
Perhaps it’s useful to know that I also see this notice, yet only on localhost and that Yoast SEO has something to do with it. The notice disappears when deactivating Yoast SEO. I do not see any notice when activating both plugins on my site.
Here is the error with some more details:
( ! ) Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

Hi,
posts are just custom post types (topic, reply) and have metadata attached. bbPress is following standard WordPress rules in the database.
For bbPress functions and filters, I normally end up on http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.6/functions/
Pascal.
Hey TK, thanks for the reply. That’s a helpful for me to get started.
Where’s a good place to look into the bbpress functions that are tied in with these wp functions?
Also, are the posts in bbpress a custom post type like any other or is there more to it than that?
Thanks again!
There are a couple of queries I’ve found are necessary for posts. First is the standard query which posts to the wp_posts and the second posts to wp_postmeta. They’re very dependent on other functions within bbpress. It’s a bit of a can of worms in my experience. You could create a set of custom queries to do both of these, or try to use all of bbpress’s queries and functionality. Either way, it is not simple.
Same issue no notifications coming through for any emails or new topics. Not sure why I need to go to someone other than the creators bbpress, so hopefully bbpress will give me the solution rather than referring me to someone else as I’ve seen has happened on numerous requests above. Just need a quick turn around on this or its time to leave review and get new plugin 🙂
Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3

Hi – I am new to BBPress. I am hoping some one may be able to assist with the page formatting of the forums/category/topic pages et etc. I am trying to get it as close to this:
http://dtcdc.freeforums.net/
as I can.
With bbpress style pack I was able to do alot without having to mess with any code of files -I do not have alot of coding experience or working within the server on files.
Right now – I have the following short codes in a Divi Page – this is my Forum Index Page:
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1106’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1130’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1154’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
1. This is giving me the “boxed” look for each separate forum I want – I can not figure out how to get the header title of each forum changed. Where it says “Forums, topics,posts, freshness” instead of Forum – I would like it to state the name of the forum I have created (like the first one be “Community Forum”, then the 2nd one would be “Platinum Members Forum” & the 3rd “Diamond Members Forum”).
These would not be links to anything. Just the forum title. So that when an actual forum below in the “box” is clicked on it goes straight to that forum page showing all topics under that forum.
(I hope I am using the correct terminology here.)
2. I can not get the description to show up underneath each category on the forum index page. Is the only way to achieve this to do something to the files in wp?
3. The topic pages (submit & view) have a big line running down the right side of the pages down into the footer – is there anyway to remove that line and make the pages full width or a custom width?
Divi Theme does provide an Epanel where I can put css coding in without having to change any files. If anyone has any ideas how to achieve these changes (hopefully without altering files) I would appreciate the help & guidance.
Thanks!
@omj-1
This is the CSS causing the issue.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
clear: both;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0;
}
The reason why when reply threading is enabled fixes the issue is because the list .bbp-body self closes and makes the above CSS not work.
Here is the ticket about the reply threading markup bug.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2757
You can use this custom CSS to fix the issue.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
clear: none;
}
I’m looking to hire someone with experience in migrating data into bbPress (BuddyPress as well). I got most of the data working from the standard forum importer that comes with bbPress, but that porter doesn’t support everything that I had in my SMF forum. Technically, the bbPress software, being lean, simply doesn’t have these features. Here is what I want to import manually:
1.) Private messages (into BuddyPress’s messages)
2.) Signatures (into GD bbPress Tools)
3.) Thread view counts (via this custom method)
4.) Avatars
5.) Stickied topics
6.) Deleted usernames (Posts from users on SMF who deleted their own accounts all get bucketed into a single account)
If anyone can help with any or all of these, let me know. I can simply migrate without these manual bits if necessary, but I at least want to try to save the data.
This is for the ranking images right?? Did you ever try what I suggested in the other topic with using something similar to this code this user has posted?? All you have to do is replace the svg tag code with an img tag with the link to the images you want to use.
User ranking system?
Hi @robkk
Yes I think its a BBpress bug because I have the same problem with only BP+bbpress active on default theme.
It could be a bbpress/theme related issue.
Since your theme is a premium theme it might be best to contact the theme author that you purchased the theme from for some help for this.
I tested out the patch and it works pretty well for a custom user role I created. I just used the tutor role mentioned in this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ and it worked when I created and switched to that test user.
Make sure to not touch the core plugin files again. This was a simple thing to do which is not bad, but something else might cause further conflicts.
I finally re-installed bbpress, to be sure 🙂 Went back to the previous configuration, where users can create new topics, but can’t delete them.
Now I have to try the patch … If it worked for you, I hope I will succeed do do it as well !
@robkk GREAT! your suggestions worked very well!
@martineva, Don´t you forget to modified again (back to original) the theme? themes/YOUR.THEME/bbpress/form-topic.php, where you commented the “stick” option? I think your error could be in this file. Maybe just a , or }? Don´t you have the original to check?
1. How do I set up my site to where people can log in with a WordPress / Gravatar account?
Jetpack has a module in it for users to login using their wordpress.com account, if that is what you want.
https://jetpack.me/support/sso/
2. The profile page title does not show up and using the Yoast plugin I can’t find any way to target it. Any advice?
You have to use a filter and use custom code to customize the titles. Here is an example of some custom code to that that type of thing for some of the profile pages.
Change meta/page title for user pages
3. What’s a good plugin to use for things such as easy navigation for users?
It depends on what exactly you want. I really do not have any opinions on this type of thing, but it depends on how the rest of your site is set up and the look you are going for.
Download this bbpress.php file and place it in the root of your child theme to fix most of the theme issues you are seeing.
https://gist.github.com/robkk/7c7d60bcbba078b8e86a
I think you guys can just hot-patch the issue until the bug is fixed in core and so you guys do not mess with any other core code to cause any other possible issues.

@filip-t
Yeah I think bbp moderation is the only bbPress specific plugin that can do that. There is a bug with saving topic subscriptions from user before their post needs to be/is approved by subscribing from the checkbox during their reply though.
As @casiepa said there is a basic moderation system in bbPress right now, and there are going to be improvements in future releases.
Hi Filip-T,
What I know is that forum moderation is being reviewed and improved a lot for v2.7 of bbPress. For now there is standard moderation and blacklisting as described here: https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/
I’m not aware of other plugins then the one you have found, but it seems to have some issues with the latest WordPress/bbPress.
Pascal.
Hey, wonderful; no more sticking or merge button ! But I just discovered the delete topic function is also available in topics the user had not created himself … Where could I did something wrong ??? in the core capabilities php, the participant topic caps ‘edit others topics’ and ‘delete others topics’ are both set as “false” …
My bbpress/includes/topics.capabilities.php file has been inchanged since the beginning … is there something to custom here as well ?
thank you
@mikevens
(I hope you were not unsubscribed from this one!)
Did you find anything ?
Can you confirm you are not using extra plugins like ‘bbPress Moderation’ ?
Thanks,
Pascal.
Hi,
About 2 weeks ago the same thing came up again. You can find it here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-by-email-social-media-integration/
Adding replies FROM email is not built into bbPress and I’m not aware of any immediate plans to implement it. Of course when somebody creates a topic and or a reply, any person subscribed is getting the email with a direct link to the topic. Just hitting that link you can start replying.
Pascal.
