Never mind… this post helped 🙂
Remove Sidebar
Not entirely sure really but I have tested themes that add next and prev post nav links to bbPress on accident and it seems to work. You may need to add the php tag to the bbPress forum templates, maybe just output it in a bbpress.php file with a condtional to only show on single forums.

bbPress Conditional Tags
Thanks. I took a look at this. I think I know more specifically what I want to do but I do not know how to do it.
The forum home ?post_type=forum uses page.php as does my page called “About Us.” With the “About Us” page I am able to use the editor and set an option called PageOption -> “Enable Sidebar” to Yes or No.
I have this set to No for my “About Us” page. How do I get the bbPress pages to also have this “Enable Sidebar” set to No? There is no ability to edit this menu setting like a standard WordPress page.
Thanks!
Chris
What version of bbPress are you using?? Is it the bbPress forum module in an old version of BuddyPress??
Yeah I saw the Freshness time add up in the backend of WordPress. You might not be able to schedule topics without this happening for now. I do not know if this was really set as a feature for bbPress honestly, I think an update in WordPress adding this option and maybe bbPress hasn’t removed it on their end or fixed any issues.

There should be a vBull importer in bbPress.
The W3 Total Cache would help optimize bbPress. Of course it is more important to have high performance hardware on your site, use an opcode cache, possibly an object cache (the plugin helps add a backend file), and keeping your database tidy. Page cache can become a little tricky in some situations but it should be fine using w3 total cache with bbPres.
bbPress is translatable and there are translations for specific langauges.
bbPress could work in multilingual sites. It might be better to just allow your users to contribute their content in their language though. There is an issue using WPML though.
Sorry I cannot find any information of users importing from an mm forum to bbPress.

Is there anyway you could embed a forum into another page?
Not the whole bbPress forums like some Iframe embed like some other forums, you can use this shortcode to embed a single forum though.
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
To find the ID, add a plugin like Reveal IDs to help you out find the IDs of all your forums. After installing it go to Forums > All Forums and you should see each forums ID next to it.
There are of course other ways of finding a posts ID and you may not need to install the plugin, it is just better and easier for users.
1. Not entirely sure what the topic frame is, but I like how the title looks good on your site already.
2.
div.bbp-reply-header {
clear: none;
}
If you need help styling your forums you may need to use the bbp style pack plugin. There are a lot of CSS styles on your site that I can see causing some minor issues with other areas on bbPress, like the Forum Header labels that say Topic and Freshness. You may also need to use a darker image/background for your single forum pages.
Oh I see how it works now. I had too many roles unchecked and it hid the forum subscription columns and I had to horizontal scroll the rest of the way.
The error seems like something that doesn’t look too serious but here are some images of me running your plugin and bbPress by itself activated on my wamp server.
You might need to look into using LearnPress and this plugin. I think it should do what you want, but you may need to leave a support topic on the plugin’s below support forum just to make sure.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-bbpress/
Or this might be custom development for a plugin.
But what you can do is at the bottom of each post just insert one of the single forum shortcodes.
Like this.
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
You can find the forum id by using a plugin like Reveal IDs to make life easier, and all you have to do is go to Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend to see all of your forums ids.
Shortcodes
Same thing with topics if you to assign topics for each post.
Since you still need help on this. First do not import SMF to phpbb, just try leaving it in SMF and import from there. users have had problems importing from phpBB lately but not SMF.
You have to make sure you are not using a remote database.
Make sure to always check the import troubleshooting.

You need help with bbPress using a certain theme template?? Is that what you are saying??
This guide will help you (I hope), I am not entirely sure you want specifically though. I bet the information is useful to learn though.

Hi. I have simple course management site. I create each course with simple post assigned to specific category. What I really need is to assign a forum discussion to each course. It means that for every post with specific category I need a specific forum discussion. Is there any solution in bbPress?
thanks in advance
Hello,
I installed bbPress for the first time.
bbPress has displaying the proper theme on my forum home page but it is not using the page format I want.
It is using the them for my blog page listing all the recent widgets for blog content down the right hand page. Instead of want it to be a standard context page where the blog is centered on the page like it would be more my “about me” or “contact us” page.
How do I modify the theme for the home ?post_type=forum or one of my forum pages ?forum=general-forum-2
Thanks,
Chris
Hi there!
I have tried to troubleshoot, and I had a bbpress on that theme before.
I have also had bbpress before with all the plugins i have now.
Both BBpress and WordPress is updatet to the newest.
Try some troubleshooting, and also link to your site to a forum where the error occurs. Also tell me your WordPress and bbPress versions are.
Troubleshooting
There is a 2 link limit on these forums, these links include links in images.
Is this the topic you are talking about??
SMF Import Help Needed
What kind of features are you looking for? BuddyPress can handle most of the social network aspects that vBull does.
Since you said layout are you looking for something similar to this??
Not really a bbPress issue, but you can follow this if there is not a register link by default.

Hi, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress
I’ve just installed bbPress and BuddyPress for the first time.
I was mucking about, looking around to work out how things work.
I thought I’d log out of Admin and try and see if I could see what it would be like to register as a new user. But there is no “register” link showing up anywhere?
Below is a screen capture of part of the screen of what I see, no register, just log in.
Any help appreciated.
Hi all. I have a WordPress site with a fresh install of bbpress on it for my forums. That said, the default bbpress theme for my site looks absolutely awful, so I was wondering how to install another theme or even just change the colors just for my forums. This is what it’s looking like at the moment.
I recently discovered this theme here that looks alright. Is there some way I could import that onto my site for JUST the forums? Let me know, thank you!
I forgot to mention does bbPress support multiple languages?
Hi
This is an interesting thread.
I have a large vBulletin 5.1.7 forum and after reading this topic I am thinking about migrating to bbPress.
I have powerful dedicated server solely for the forum, the forum has topics: 129,286 Posts: 3,055,650 Members: 51,108
Is there a script to import my forum into bbPress?
Can the WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache be used with bbPress to boost perform dance?
Many thanks for your help.
