create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-topic-created.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-topic-created.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Then modify or overwrite woth your modified file
admin and keymaster are two seperate things
If you are an admin (or someone who is does this)
go to
Dashboard>users>all users and select your profile and edit
Near the bottom, you’ll see your bbpress lkevel, set this to keymaster
bbpress doesn’t auto subscribe to new topics
try
topic subscribe
and whilst you’re there this is useful too
Reply Subscribed
If you want to change it everywhere then put this in your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == ‘Forum’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘new text’;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_translate_text’, 20 );

Is there a way to redirect bbpress user profile to wordpress author page? Can anyone tell me some hooks that can be possibly put in the function.php?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Yeah!
@robkk
found the solution in one of your previous posts
No register or login buttons?
installed the plugin recommended and it worked!

I tried gd-bbpress-attachments but I can’t restrict file types.
Participants can attach a js.file for example.
Anybody knows ho to restrict attachments to certain file types?
Best wishes.
Try some troubeshooting and also double check in settings > forums in the Topics and Replies Per Page section make sure to set 9 replies per page.

You can try this but I don’t know if this would affect the other links from loading or not.
.forum-archive #bbpress-forums {
display: none;
}
You guys might need to hire a developer to design this for you. I think it would require a bunch of if statements.
bbPress Conditional Tags
Try some troubleshooting , it could be a plugin issue.

Also I guess see if you set up the two themes the same.
The ugly one is the default bbPress layout. Since I do not know how you go the other links below that I can suggest maybe hiding one of them with CSS.
I am still not able to understand it. First I dont know how to create a child theme and second I dont know how to do what you are suggesting. I am also facing some issues with buddy press. The buttons are not displaying properly.
Can you suggest any other good community plugin?
There is no plugin to just fix it. bbPress is inheriting a template from your theme that is causing this issue. Since all themes are different creating a plugin to fix them all would be really difficult.
To create a child theme you can read this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
If you need help with anything , please tell me exactly what you need help with or at least tell me what you understand.
And what buttons are not displaying properly?? This is probably CSS so I could do this for you easily.
Also since you are using a paid theme (Canvas) , you might want to consider contacting your theme author for help.
I cant just do it for you for free, you can contact me through email if you want me to do it for you.

Thank you robkk !
This was exactly what I was trying to find/figure out.
Now I am wondering what other BBPress and WP URLs there are that I would like to use.
use the topic form shortcode.
[bbp-topic-form]
Shortcodes
It would be supper nice to be able to put a general “Start a Discussion” button on various pages
Ive explained to users bunches of times how to do this kind of functionality. Search the forums and search “new topic button”
I dont think it is an issue with Login , maybe cache??

The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

Did you try to do any troubleshooting first??

bbPress does not have an area to upload avatars it mostly relies on Gravatar by default. You are probably using BuddyPress , if you are contact BuddyPress support.
I have the same problem I can not put a file to download.
The shordcode I should put it: [wpdm_package id = ‘12529’]
How can I do?
I also installed
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/ but nothing has changed I could explain what I do?
Thanks!
Hi,
Love the pluggin and it was working fine on my website (http://www.spirulinaacademy.com/forum/) until a couple of weeks ago when I “lost” the possibility to login.
The readers can’t login anymore to post on the forum.
Tried to fix it myself for the past few weeks but haven’t been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I use the latest version of BBpress – Version 2.5.7 with the theme Renden – WP Version 4.2.2
Thanks

Hi !
I have BuddyPress + bbPress installed together.
I have a BuddyPress private group which have a private forum and several private sub-forums. The problem I have is regular members (with participant permissions) can’t access to the sub-forums of the group forum because it takes moderator permissions to see private topics and replies. And sub-forums are not mapped with the group.
All I want to do is a read-only/read-write forum : non members of the group can see the forum, sub-forums, topics, and replies, but only members can post replies and topics. I have looked for a plugin or a hack for 5 days, no solution.
As a quick fix, I set the sub-forums as public, but now everyone can post a topic and a reply, which is bad.
I also tried to give to participants read permissions on private topics, it worked on other private forums, but not on the group sub-forums.
I tested almost all memberships/roles/capabilities plugins available nowadays for the latest WP… I even took a look on bbpress and buddypress hooks but their documentation are still uncomplete for developpers.
So please, have you some hints ?
