Any plugin that hooks into the default WordPress registration and adds special fields should add fields also to the bbPress registration form.
A plugin like this could add extra fields.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
This site uses the [bbp-login] shortcode and there is a message on the registration page that says this site uses the same registration details as WordPress.org.
It’s amazing that such a feature is not developed !
Is this feature really easy to create??
Since bbPress does not have a view other users threads/replies and a reply to other users threads/replies user capability, I guess no.
You might be able to do this with the Private Groups plugin but that would take a lot of time to create each group.
A private emssaging plugin or a plugin like BuddyPress that has private messaging could be a good alternative though.
If you need this developed for you, you can always hire a developer to create this for you.
But really I have never seen anybody turn bbPress into a ticket system.
Hi all,
Just setting up my new forum using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, but Im having trouble handling user registration.
Ive used the forum login widget to handle logins in my sidebar, but im not happy with registration. I created a new page called registration and added the shortcode [bbp-register]. But this is really basic and not what a am looking for at all, unless its possible to edit it somehow, something I am fairly sure cannot be done to a shortcode?
Does anyone have any suggestion as to what login and registration plugins are good to use? Or anyone know what this bbpress site uses to handle its login and registrations, that looks good handling both functions in one tidy box in a single area.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Hello, I’m having some issues with bbpress, when i activate the plugin all the ajax / jquery features fail to work i.e add to watchlist button, posts, maps, and anything that uses scripts to load.
Has anyone experianced this or know the cause, I enabled debug and it gives me this error, not sure if it’s linked, Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622
At the moment I cannot use the plugin as my site uses a lot of scripts to load the features.
Let me know if you’re able to help. Thanks
You installed WordPress in a subdirectory? This is one of the trac tickets that I found and it may seem to have the exact issue you do. Confirm so I can make sure the issue is not fixed.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1645
I will mark the topic as [resolved] and close it after you reply to confirm the issue.
I could be wrong because I remember someone from BuddyPress @mentioned me on their forums and I got a notification for it.
It might be something introduced in the next major version of bbPress which both sites run, or that you need to make sure you type the user’s username correctly instead of their display name.
What troubleshooting did you already do? Did you already do the plugin and theme troubleshooting?

Also sometimes it may not necessarily be a caching plugin, it could also be other thing caching your site, like cloudflare, hosting server cache, something like that.
You can always test your sites theme/plugins on a test server.
Glad that you solved your own issue. 🙂
I am going to bookmark this so that I can lead user to your fix if they come across the same issue.
I wonder if this is related to past issues with bbPress with logging out, before I make a trac trac ticket of this issue.
Was this site set up in a multisite installation?? If not I will create a unique ticket for this issue.
Yeah bbPress does not support @mention notifications.
Hi @Robkk,
one correction,
the notification does not work if I mention someone in forum reply or in a forum topic.
Notification works for when i mention someone in buddypress activity streams.
maybe what you said is true
“It might be expected behaviour since their might not be functionality for notifications if the @mention is in bbPress forums.”
i just wanted to double check if thats the case, if bbpress doesnt support “mention” notification as yet, then its okay, i wont bother.
However, if bbpress supports mention notification and somehow doesn’t work for me, i would like to find out why.
thanks
Heck I might not need to, it may already be in the next major release.
If you go to this sites new topic page, you will see the forum dropdown does not show the (no forum), it just displays the first form in the list by default.
Create New Topic
Will check to make sure later though.
It might be expected behaviour since their might not be functionality for notifications if the @mention is in bbPress forums.
So what you said is that @mentioning a user in the replies does not work, but it does in topics?
And of course it works find in the BuddyPress activity streams.
Tested it out on your site and I saw the issue. I don’t really have a fix for this yet but I know another guy that had something similar and I wonder if something in your guys set-ups could be causing the issue.
I emailed you some questions to help me try to pinpoint the issue.
If I still can’t find anything, I will just collect some data and post what you two guys already did and report a bug on the bbPress trac linking to both of your guys topics.
okay, i tried the following:
tag user in BuddyPress Activity, user could receive notification
tag user in bbpress forum post/comment, user could not receive notification
it seems like tagging user in forum does trigger notification, can anyone here confirm if this is expected behaviour?
if i want to trigger notification when user is tagged in forum post/comment, what should i do? thanks
I am not sure if having email/bubble notifications is there if you @mention someone in bbPress forums.
Maybe using this would add a notification but I am not sure.

Use this custom CSS to make the forums full-width.
.bbpress #content {
width: 100%;
}
Hi,
when i mention user (eg: @shadow_boi) in a new forum post/reply, is the mentioned user supposed to receive a bubble notification?
I tired, but there is no bubble notification or email sent. was it expected?
WP: 4.3
theme: Twenty FifteenVersion: 1.3
buddypress 2.3.2.1
bbpress 2.5.8
i have disabled all other plugins except for bbpress and buddypress
I see it is now on your forums. I see that the CSS causing the issue is definitely from the bbPress New UI plugin in its dark theme.
Contact the developer of the plugin so other users do not come across the same issue as you are.
Oh and bbPress has classes for each of its areas on the forums, most prefixed with some kind of bbp in them. Other plugins and themes could use those classes and add CSS styles for those areas in their own respective stylesheets to style the forums differently.
You can create a ticket in the bbPress trac, if you think this would be a great idea to have a hook for. I cannot really think of any other great uses except for the link counter feature you said though.
Hey, I have a multisite network set up. I have buddypress network activated and bbpress network activate. On a subsite of my network, I have bbpress forums set up. When a user subscribes to a topic, or posts a new topic, these don’t appear in their Buddypress profile?
There’s essential nowhere to view subscriptions etc – as the buddypress profile overrides the bbpress one.
Any ideas????
Thanks!
Thank you for your fast reply.
My website is running on a WAMP Server, that’s why I linked the theme that I use instead of a link to my website wich isn’t hosted : I’m only using the last version of WordPress, same about bbpress and the theme BrickYard, nothing more. And all is on a fresh install.
Do some troubleshooting. It could be cache, your permalinks need to be refreshed, etc.

I kind of disagree with using a theme for just bbPress templates, just customize the forums to your liking with a plugin like bbP style pack.
Depends on what you need. It may be best for you to just search the plugins directory to find what you need.
