Is there STILL no way to do this? I have anonymous posting allowed, but can’t eliminate the email box. I don’t want bbpress collecting email addresses.
By default the email address is still required for anonymous posting.
You might need to hire a developer to create this functionality for you.
There is no shortcode for an edit profile page.

FIx that annoying dialog saying
you must be logged in to chat
It never stays closed no matter how many times I close it, and it really doesn’t encourage new users to want to create an account for the site.
Try some troubleshooting , see if it is a plugin or theme issue.

How can I position the login form to the same line as the search ?
This would look terribly squashed in mobile layouts though. I think the way you have it now is fine.
Lastly, how can I define a different .class-name to both the login form and registration form ? Because I noticed that both login form and registration form use .login-form, which made it impossible to style individually.
Also the lost password form too, and yes this is annoying for styling. i think it was there to minimize the lines of CSS.
You can copy the bbPress templates for each authentication form into your child theme and edit them to change the classes.
1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.
This can happen also in some default themes like Twenty Fifteen (should work in Twenty Twelve though), but can also be easily fixed by placing the bbPress template files into a child theme.

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404.
Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?
(I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)
Works for bbPress profiles though, I might update it for BuddyPress later.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
I made the forums page using the permalink method and it works great. The problem is that underneath the list of available forums there is a gray circle with a white head and the word By, as if there should be an author shown. But this is the page of all of the forums by various authors. I can’t seem to get it to go away.
@caseylifec
sounds like post meta that is being shown because of your theme and the template that bbPress is using from that theme to show the forums.
You can hide that data with CSS or remove it completely by creating a template specifically for bbpress and remove the code that is rendering the data. Link to your site so I could help you remove the data with CSS.
If you want to try removing the code you can also try following this guide too.

Yep the latest version of bbpress (“2.5.8”). It also does the same with buddypress but I more need bbpress.
I just found this plugin and it seems to mention some bbPress support
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-encoder-bundle/
It lists a code example for bbPress here
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-encoder-bundle/faq/
Did this happen with the latest update of bbPress??
Also do some troubleshooting and try to find a plugin or theme issue.
Troubleshooting
Blank Pages
Please help: “After installing bbpress on intranet, wordpress dashboard or entire back end disappers” I did the manual install. I place the file in the plugins folder and when I press activate, the entire screen goes blank. Please help..
One way to do this is to simply hide the reply form for the roles you do not want to be able to reply.
There is a similar topic here talking about making it so that only admins can post in X forum so hopefully this will be a jumping off point for you:
Disallow topic creation but allow comments in certain forums
I think there’s a ‘form-reply.php’ so you’d use that instead of ‘form-topic.php’ and you’d need to alter the conditional statement to say IF you are in forum ID X and the user has Y role – then show the reply form.
Hope that helps but come back to us if you need more help.
Hmm that’s a stinker.
What URL are you actually taken to when you get the 404 message, is the URL right? I believe it should be – ‘my-post-title/edit’
Have you tried disabling all other plugins AND using the default theme at same time? (difficult if the site is live of course)
If it’s not on a live site maybe try a fresh bbpress install? Also there are some repair tools in the settings you can try (I haven’t had experience using these but it’s worth a try)
Hi Am not sure where my other 2 posts went, have posted twice with code, maybe that is the problem the code. My problem is that the replies to topics appear empty.

Thank you Melanie
bbPress 2.5.8 is out. It prevents 2 potential security related issues, and is a strongly suggested update for all bbPress 2.x installations:
* Improved ajax actions
* Improved user query parsing
Check the 2.5 milestone for a comprehensive changelog of fixes.
For any code you can create anonymous (i.e. You do not require a GitHub account) and paste your code here https://gist.github.com it makes the code much easier to read than posting here on bbPress.org.
The 4 tables would be wbb1_board, wbb1_thread, wbb1_post and wcf1_user
Open up phpMyAdmin on your install, navigate to the database, click one of the 4 tables I listed above, then click structure, take a screen shot of similar to this example here.
Installed bbpress through wordpress and everything is going great except for two problems.
1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.
2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404. (I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)
What I’ve already done:
-Switched to a default theme, didn’t change anything, switched back to Gameplanet theme
-Disabled all plugins except bbpress, problem persisted
-Changed permalink type to something else and then back again, problem persisted
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered as I really need this working by next week. If it’s something that involves an in-depth look I’d even be willing to pay someone to help, although I fear it’s probably a simple problem that I’m just overlooking.

This is an s2member problem.
BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database
so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.
If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue
Hi!
I have a problem that is related to this one; I’m also running Woocommerce and bbpress forum. My problem is the exact opposite to this one; I do not allow users to make accounts for woocommerce,
but I want to allow them to make accounts for the forum.
So is there a possibility to allow registration only for the bbpress, so that it doesn’t affect any other part of the website?
Thanks!
I want to use forums as a main page of web site, I did it. But forum itself seems to be conflicting with some one, and I cannot find the problem, please help.
edit : site taken out by mod
I’m using Spacious theme.
WP version: 4.2.2
BBPress: 2.5.7
Apologies for the late reply, this is not a bbPress bug, per above it’s a known issue with Easy Digital Downloads – Currency Converter., and in the following topic it is actually an issue with Yoast’s SEO or News SEO plugin.
News SEO & BBPress Conflict
Apologies all, this is not a bbPress issue, when bbPress is activated without any other plugins there are no notices, the notices only appear once activating both Yoasts’ WordPress SEO and News SEO plugins.
If you comment out this out of the News SEO plugin file class-meta-box.php
add_filter( 'add_extra_wpseo_meta_fields', array( $this, 'add_meta_fields_to_wpseo_meta' ) );
In the News SEO plugin the issue is resolved and no notices are displayed.
It appears to be related to pre_get_posts being used in WordPress SEO by Yoast, this was picked up in the WordPress Core ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31231
There seems to be users that have gotten the same error.
Fresh install, php warning on all pages in site
A user listed a fix to surround an attribute with an array() , which I did test and it does seem to hide the error.
Might need some second thoughts from Stephen though.
did the issue just occur in the 2.2.5 version of News SEO, or was there always an issue?
bbPress’s last update was in April and News SEO updated to 2.2.5 I think last month.
I am just wondering where the issue might have occurred to narrow down where it is being caused.
Thanks for pointing me to the topic.
I see that bbPress is inheriting a lot of styles from your theme
bbPress is using lists instead of a table layout so that is why you see some of the bubbles there.
I see you removed the list styles from your forum.
But you might need this additional CSS to fix some other layout issues.
#bbpress-forums .art-postcontent ul>li,
#bbpress-forums .art-post ul>li,
#bbpress-forums .art-textblock ul>li {
padding-left: 0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
There is some other styles being inherited from the theme, but they are just for styling text and they are quite difficult to fix the same way as above.
Oh and you can delete the account you created for testing. I don’t think I have to login to see the issues you have, unless you have gotten issues around something I would have to see while logged in only.
