That’s where i am getting confused. Let’s say i have the following public forums
A
B
C
and a group called private group 1 which has a private forum D.
When a non logged in user visits the site he correctly sees only A,B,C but if testuser1 logs in who does not have access to private group 1 goes to forums he sees A,B,C and D. When he clicks on Forum D it says its private.
Is that how bbpress Forums work?
Thanks,
Parag

Run the repair tools one at a time in Tools > Forums to see if this fixes the issue.
Edit: If it doesn’t work, there might be a bug in the bbPress trac somewhere about this.
Hi,
Sometimes messages do not get out, installing the below plugin helps in most of the cases:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/
Also consider to have a good SMTP plugin like ‘Postman SMTP’ or equal. I like this one a lot because of all the debugging to understand where it goes wrong.

@Robkk it seems @jovito is in an area I’ve been mucking with lately. So let me ask this… with a custom file bbpress.php in my theme, would it be directed to that page when I hit submit for a new topic or new reply, instead of the topic page mentioned above?
MultiSite with bbPress plugin – the latest
One subsite dedicated to bbPress forum
I just want to know what “bbPress ready” “works with bbPress” means
What are some characteristics that make a “theme bbPress ready/compatible”?
What do the results imply when I search for themes for bbPress, what can I expect in general?
– If a WordPress theme is reviewed in an article and is said to work for bbPress
– If I search WordPress themes using bbPress keyword
I have been struggling with themes, like all bbPress newbies. I don’t understand the structure of bbPress – the layout, navigation, hierarchy and the pages it generates. It’s a new surprise with each theme I try. (Yes, I have used Theme 2015 to check things.)
Surprise Example:
theme Ample, forum looks great but the Home/Forums/… (bbPress breadcrumb navigation) “Forums” page renders all the topics with the heading “Archives”, I had to use Edit Menu to add a custom link to add that page to the WP menu, and I had created a page to list only the forums with the bbPress short code, but then it was not part of the bbPress nav, and it was unusable – too bizarrely rendered to try to correct.
I prefer not to have to get into editing generated pages and editing whatever to get the breadcrumb navigation/menus to correlate. Little comprehension, skill, or time.
Thank you
Ok, that’s good, I found !
#bbpress-forums .button {
background-color: gray;
color: red;
}
Hi o.m.j,
CSS will not help you in this case, not even nth-child or things like
#bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination-count {
display: none;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination-count ~ .bbp-pagination-count {
display: block;
}
will not work because the pagination is inside different divs and other elements.
The only possibility would be somewhere going for a javascript like
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementsByClassName('bbp-pagination-count')[0].style.display = 'none';
}
(not tested yet) or go for some coding.
Pascal.
Ok, well, a example feed would be https://bbpress.org/feed/?post_type=topic/

dayan89,
Please don’t revive 6 year old threads, but start your own one describing the issue that you have or the help you are looking for. As bbPress changed a lot in these years, in a lot of cases what was explained is no longer valid in current versions.
Pascal.
You can use this custom CSS to hide it.
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
display: none;
}
Or you can copy loop-topics.php to your child theme in a folder called bbpress. And remove these lines.
<li class="bbp-header">
<ul class="forum-titles">
<li class="bbp-topic-title"><?php _e( 'Topic', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
</ul>
</li>
Thank you for your prompt reply ^^ .
There I miss this feature in order to launch my site for good and finally be able to do like all great name.
I do not understand no one thought of before . I want to actually do that, because I want to store all the news in the forum corresponding with comments .
The plugin that is made for this kind of thing and it https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/ , but it is not updated for 2 years.
I know a site that has managed to do this in wordpress game-guide.fr but uses XenForo this Generais me to have to repay a subscription to a forum .
If you intend to develop a plugin , I ‘m interested.
After all depends on the time that you need .
Sincerely, Alex
Bonjour Alex, l’anglais suffit pour ici, merci 🙂
I don’t know if you somewhere spy on me somewhere, but yesterday and this morning I had some discussions and checks on that for bbPress. There seem to be some old ‘converters’ from posts to topics and some requests to have this kind of functionality but it seems that today, nothing exists.
As I indicated yesterday, I might try to develop something around this, but don’t want to put any timeframe on it.
You can follow the discussion on https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-385

Lier les articles et pages de wordpress au forum
Bonjour
Je suis actuellement possesseur d’un site WordPress je, recherche le moyen de pouvoir afficher les commentaires sur le forum ?
Par exemple, lorsque je publie une actualité sur un jeu vidéo, j’aimerais que les commentaires apparaissent sur le forum là où sera lié l’article.
Voici un exemple de site http://www.gamekult.com/actu/nintendo-les-resultats-du-semestre-A155037.html.
Lorsque l’on clique sur « Voir tous les commentaires » cela nous amène sur le forum.
Je veux faire exactement la même chose est-ce que l’on peut avec bbpress ?
Si oui, merci de me dire comment je peux faire cela ?
Cordialement, Alex

Link articles and pages wordpress forum
Hello
I am currently the owner of a WordPress website are, looking the way to display the comments on the forums ?
For example, when I published a news on a video game , I wish that the comments appear on the forum where the article will be linked.
An example site http://www.gamekult.com/actu/nintendo-les-resultats-du-semestre-A155037.html .
When you click on ” View all comments or Voir tous les commentaires ” that brings us on the forum.
I want to do exactly the same thing is what we can with bbpress ?
If so, thank you to tell me how I can do this ?
Sincerely, Alex
Its the only plugin I can find with this feature that works great with bbPress.
Hope it works well for you though! 🙂
BbPress post hierarchy does not allow categories to contain topics, only forums can.
Start with a category that contains forums, with that containing topics.
It might be better to create a bbpress.php instead of a regular static WordPress page, because that 1 static page will not work for all of the bbPress pages. If you create a bbpress.php, all your bbPress pages will use that template instead.
See if this guide helps you any.
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
Since you using shortcodes you can echo the shortcodes in the bbPRess template like this.
<?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>
Hi @robkk
(somehow i managed to unsubscribe from my own topic…thus the delayed response). Thanks for your answer.
My forums are intended to be group forums for buddypress. And this is also the case in which I have this bug.
So in regular forums a user who has the overall moderator priviledge (set in user settings) can set tags. Works as expected.
In the case where a user has overall participant priviledges and I set a user in the group management setting (I suppose thats BuddyPress) to be moderator, then the user cant assign tags anymore although he could as a normal member. This is the behaviour I would consider a bug 😉
No I havent tried creating custom roles. I´m also not sure about the interaction with BuddyPress, thus I tried to get some help here first.
On my regular installation I have a role editing plugin, but not on the new test platform. Thus I would discard this as a cause for the bug.
I just ran the repair feature which updated 1 user on the test platform, but this didnt affect the priviledge to post tags. It just resets the overall moderator role of a person to normal participant (if the user has a WordPress subscriber role).
Regerding the other trouble shooting:
– Its a fresh installation
– With 2015 theme
– Only bbPress & BuddyPress as plugins
– I just ran the repair functions again, since this is a fresh install nothing has been updated according to the notifications from the repair functions.
I´m aware that this seems to be an issue between bbPress & BuddyPress and I´m not sure which plugin causes this bug. Since bbPress tags are disappearing I thought it might be bbPress.
Any further ideas how to approach this?
Closing in favor of your other topic.
Delete “Header”
@leirof
Add this anywhere you can put custom css like in your themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input{
color: #000;
}
Can you see the forums on the frontend of your site??
Are you saying you cannot see it in the backend in Forums > All FOrums??
While testing your theme everything works fine for me.
You can try some troubleshooting to see if this is hopefully not a cache issue, or see if a plugin is causing the conflict, or if running the repair tools in Tools > Forums helps.
Troubleshooting
Yeah this could be bbPress subscriptions having the issue.
See if installing and using this plugin will help you out.

1 of your topics I see had 3 links and was caught by the link limit, the others I am not entirely sure really because they do have 2 links, they were just pending moderation for some reason.
I did just approve this topic though.
Help end this Mail Del System nightmare. Please!
WP= 4.3.1 bbPress= 2.5.8 Postman SMTP= 1.6.24
I’m learning WP by building a dummy site as a prelude to rebuilding camera club site. Work in progress at: http://www.snapsphotoservices.biz/
An important feature will be forums. I installed bbPress and all was good until I sent out test messages to selected subscribers. Despite the recipients getting the notifications correctly I was never the less presented with MDS errors: Mail Delivery System <MAILER-DAEMON@smtprelay08.hostedemail.com>Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Thinking I had server issues I moaned at my host who said “It’s not us…” As SMTP is said to be more reliable I added plugin Easy WP SMTP to the mix. It made no difference. I then tried Postman SMTP and created a new email address so that forums related to this and WP just dealt with original mail.
Strangely it’s this original mail that sent messages are referring to. Attached is a shot of the header a recipient sees. The Mochdre boot address is the address Postman is given and the snaps address is the default WP email address.

Hooray! It worked a treat, everybody gets the messages and I get no errors. Untill tonight when my inbox was filled with the old error messages.
Tried deactivating all plugins etc to no avail. How do I stop WP using its own snaps address when I’ve told SMTP plugin to use mochdreboot address? Or, if I create a mail account of noreply@snaps etc, what the heck happens to all the mail the server gets dumped with (assuming it would help)?
This is doing my head in. Please advise.
Are you talking about where it says something similar to this in the body class. Most themes add this not really bbPress itself. If you are missing this <?php body_class(); ?> in your theme you not be able to see the post id.
postid-652
Or for the topic list of the forum where it shows this.
bbp-forum-652
If you have been heavily editing bbPress templates in your child theme you may not have this in correctly in loop-single-forum.
<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>
