I have searched the webernets tirelessly for an answer to this problem with no luck. I was checking out the example forums you list here bbpress.org/about/examples/ when I came across a site called tamrielfoundry.com/ and I noticed that they break up groups of forums. If you look at the first section “General Discussion” and click on one of the forums you will notice that the URL changes from tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ to tamrielfoundry.com/forum/general/general-discussion/ If you click on the top forum in the next section you jump from tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ to tamrielfoundry.com/forum/classes/class-discussion/ They seem to have the ability to have more than one single forum. Is this even possible with bbpress or has this site changed to a different forum? If this isn’t bbpress, is this kind of thing even possible. I would love the ability to break up sections of forums even if I have to somehow create a main forum page and build it by hand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
site is here http://www.zibi.ru
I’m using Spacious theme.

WP version: 4.2.2
BBPress: 2.5.7

Your theme is causing the issue , especially its styles for WordPress comments.

Try this custom CSS

#bbpress-forums .reply a {
  font-size: inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  float: none;
  color: #c1052c;
}

#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover {
  color: #42a202;
}

Also in your CSS your links do not really have a defined color to them. There is this CSS, but it should be something like this #c1052c

p a, a {
  color: c1052c;
}

Update: For anyone else who has the same issue, this plugin seemed to solve it for me.

@Robkk

First off, thank you! for pointing me to files Rob, that’s always my first battle. And thanks for giving me the clues to the solutions.

I got notified right when you replied, on Sunday no less! And was SO excited! Thanks for responding on your personal time.

Now I’m just trying to sort out your recommendations..lol! Seeing what files to work on helps me focus my learning curve.

The avatar on the left (in the Edited View of above image) is going to hook back to the authors Buddypress Profile. Seeing that the file is structured in an unordered list helps me understand what’s happening with the php a little better.

I have too much to learn! lol!, I wish there was a forum where services could be traded. :o)

Here is how I sorted it out;

First
This article provided a snippet example that showed me the correct statement to put into a <li></li> right above the top li in loop-single-topic.php, I only had to add the class="bbp-topic-author-link" to the li, and then tell it to float-left/padding-0,10 in the child-theme/bbPress/css and voila! Wooohoooooo!!! Sorry, I get excited when things go right! lol!

Second
I commented out the Forum Titles – Voices/Freshness in loop-topics.php like this

<!-- 			<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>
 -->

..and then move the reply count over & under Freshness, (again, with css)

Third
I’ll be back, I like to keep a record in my Topics here, cause I know!, I’ll forget! lol!

I have a problem with importing Kunena Forum to bbPress forum. I do import through the import function in bbPress. All forum posts are imported fine, but lacking usernames. All user names are labeled as anonymous.

[confessng]

Oooh seriously that’s what you get when a newbie has forum ideas ….thank you sooo much for pointing it out ,and I was so sure it was bbpress

[gavintyte]

I no longer to wish for members to login to my site to post in the bbPress forums. I can turn on anonymous posting (like anonymous comments)

Is there a way of converting existing bbPress users to Guest users? e.g. Export and Re-import perhaps?

footer link on your page says

MyBB is not bbPress 😉

Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already. Especially the theme and plugin sections.

Usually when you have BuddyPress installed the Extended Profiles component is activated by default, bbPress forum user profiles links use the BuddyPress extended profiles.

You can see if copying the BuddyPress templates into your child theme would fix things.

Hello,
someone know how to change “BBpress advanced recent topics” to go on the last page of the topic because users have to go manually to the last one when they choose a topic ? The first page of each topic is automatically displayed by the widget.

All help would be much appreciated !

Hi, I am setting up a forum for my website but stuck at user profile links. User profiles are linking to wordpress profile links like “/members/admin” instead of “/forum/users/admin”.

It can be viewed here: http://www.poemsurdu.com/forum/urdu-poetry-forum/

On this page there are two users’ activities ‘admin’ and ‘khan’ both are linking to a 404 /members/ page.
Please help me resolve this problem. I could not find any thread exactly on this problem.

Hey guys!
I’m working on forum in bbPress and got some symbols in front of debatforum. It is 5 of these symbols > in the right sidebar. I need to remove these from the code, but can’t figure out which files. Can you help me?

We just recently started using BBPress a few weeks ago, and I will admit, I am a fitness blogger, not a programmer. A lot of what I have done has been purely due to research. I can usually get over the hump, but now I am not so sure. On my site, I began a few test topics on the forum just to see how things looked with the theme that we were choosing, and so far, so good. That was until I logged in as a subscriber/participant and tried to respond to the topic that I had already started and nothing showed up. I looked everywhere for that reply, but it was nowhere to be found. Then I tried replying again. And again. And again. And still nothing. So then I logged back into my administrator account, and I noticed a notification that told me that I had ONE reply. When I click on the notification to see the reply, nothing showed up. It simply took me to the original topic which (according to the listing) only had ONE VOICE. Which was the topic itself. Forget all of the half dozen times that I tried to reply to that thing. I tried searching for a solution in this forum, and where I found some similar circumstances, nothing else panned out. So here we are. I will provide the link to the forum and topic and question and I will let you decide: Am I missing something? Am I a total idiot? Lol. Seriously. Because I am starting to think I am going insane.

Here is the link. Check it out: http://www.thefitnotes.com/forums/topic/eat-right-eat-light/

Please let me know what I should do. Thanks

Oh, sorry for the confusion, I am pretty new with bbpress 🙂

But thank you very much! I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi all,

We’re experiencing an issue where if a user types a search term into the “search” box for our bbpress forums, they get a page displaying gibberish.

We had a similar issue with our forum breadcrumbs previously, and we successfully set up a workaround to direct users to the correct page, but I can’t figure out how to configure this for the forum search. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is a URL that shows an example of the issue that we’re seeing:

Thanks!

Are you sure they aren’t blog comment spam?? Akismet does a good job at blog comment spam though , bbPress also has integrations with Akismet.

[Robkk]

I created this trac ticket awhile ago because of this topic, and also I found a plugin that kind of does similar functionality.

The plugin I mentioned is quite broken and has fixes mentioned in the plugins support forum by users.

If a developer or anyone else wants to fork/fix the plugin I mentioned in this trac ticket they can go ahead. Even better if you help add this to core.

I too would like this feature. I have a curated forum with specific topics I want to allow. Participants should only be allowed to reply to existing topics. Is this not possible with bbPress?

[Robin W]

how is this bbpress related?
