Twenty Fifteen had something similar to that issue.
The resolution to the issue in Twenty Fifteen was to follow to copy all the bbPress templates from the plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Here’s a screenshot of the gibberish.
Note that this is exactly what was happening with our forum breadcrumbs/landing page when I first joined this team, and we didn’t have our forums page (in our “Pages”) configured correctly.
What I’m guessing is happening here is that there’s some setting in the bbpress forums search widget that we need to re-configure, but I don’t know what setting that is.
I have these exact questions, so thank you Robin!
I have a couple more regarding registration and login. In both instances, how can I control the page the user goes to after successful login?
I am using WordPress 4.2.2 running Jupiter theme and using bbpress login shortcode on a page.
(currently it stays on same login page with a successful login message)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
@robkk, great appreciate that. The plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ is much better and does exactly what I was after. It actually caught me out for a few days that moderators were not receiving anything. Very strange that feature would not be part of the core plugin as there is little point for a moderator if they are not being notified of topics and replies and so on.
I think having a moderator per forum is a smart way to set things up. Again its a shame this feature has been requested over 2 years now. I will keep an eye on it and hopefully with a little luck it arrives soon. Thanks again for your help.
So I guess my question is how do the moderators only get notifications of new topics posted?
Use this.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/
Also is there a way to assign a moderator specifically to a single forum and not the entire bbpress forum set so to speak?
Not Yet. It has gained more attention in the last two years.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459
Hi there, I have an issue I just cannot get working and I really am not sure why. Firstly I have 3 moderators on my bbpress forums and I want them to get a notification when a new topic is posted of course. I assumed this would be automatic but I have realized that it is not. So I took at look at this thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moderation-and-email-notifications/ and notice that plugins may be required here.
So I installed this plugin: bbPress Moderation but this just sets all posts to pending which is not what I want and also only notifies me and not my moderators which is a little but pointless of course. So then I tried this plugin bbPress Notify and this does not seem to have any notifications for the bbpress user roles. For example it lists that notifications can be sent to admins, editors, authors subscribers and contributors but none of the bbpress specific roles which again is not ideal and little bit pointless.
So I guess my question is how do the moderators only get notifications of new topics posted? Also is there a way to assign a moderator specifically to a single forum and not the entire bbpress forum set so to speak? Maybe I am missing something obvious here as I say because I am new to this. Apologies if I am. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello to everybody,
I am currently working on a BBPRESS installation. I have 2 diferent parts on my website : a Blog AND a Forum.
I have a parent page for all my forums called “Forums” So, in my main nav, I have 2 items : “Blog” and “Forums”.
When I click on “Forums” in the nav, I go to the parent page of all my forums. In the nav, the item “Forums” gets the following classes in the HTML :
.menu-item menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .current-menu-item .page_item .page-item-20 .current_page_item menu-item-22
Now, when I click on one of my forums, “forum 1” for exemple, my item “Forums” in the nav gets the folowing classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-22
and the item “blog” get the classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-23 .current_page_parent
I mean that “forum 1” should be a child page of “Forums” ?
Instead, it seems to be a child element of the blog. Does anybody know how to fix this ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, work locally with Mamp, using Twenty15 as a theme.
If somebody have a solution, it would be great, thanks for your attention.

@oyeben6
Hello Oyeben6, i have the same issue than you. Have you find any solution to solve this problem ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and BBpress, Twenty Fifteen as a principal theme, no other plugin working, reinstalled everything 2 times, changed the permalinks but work locally.
Thanks for your kind answer and have a nice day
Guillaume
Hi, not yet.
I changed that page to a fullwidth page. The issue with the padding remains. I tried to use some other css but that also effects the bbpress layout.
See this page where the output is still with a padding: https://bfgv.nl/forums/zoeken/test/
How can I remove the padding here without effecting the rest?
Hello @Robk
thanks for you Answers
As you told thumbnail image can be show as post thumbnail is showing
i have to create a new widget for own customization work and where i have to place that file
within theme bbpress folder or i have to place my own customized file into bbpress plugin folder
As i know customization file places under the theme bbpress folder
Advice will be grate
i will look into this and get back to you
thanks
I have this issue too. I logged it first with Yoast, the developers of the SEO plugins and their reply was that as it is a bbPress error, it would need to be addressed through bbPress…
Have you had any success either way?
Thanks!
Using latest version of all plugins.
So i am wanted to disable all forum notifications, as i get endless new reply notifications.
I have removed all code from the file
/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php
leaving only <?php
Which after testing seems to do what i want.
I realise this isnt the correct method, can anyone point advise me on the proper way to do this, do i use a series of remove_actions ?
Thank you 🙂
I think this is what you were looking for , both are not in bbPress and may need customization to achieve.
Forum Description above a single forum page that might be what you are looking for and bbp style pack does provide a solution to add this to bbPress.
Topic Description how you may have wanted?? This looks dumb though.
I been looking around for a report plugin for bbpress and i dont see one. any one know of a good one? for example some one posts spam a user can click report.
try these troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshooting
I see you are using something different from the default bbPress registration shortcode.
Did your own issue??
In some themes this may be just tossing the bbPress templates in a folder called bbpress in a child theme to fix this.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
You might also have to modify the main bbPress template .

@shanhard
There is BuddyPress that adds this to bbPress right now though.
Bumping this back up.
I hadn’t realized it before because I hadn’t tested it, but we’re still having the same problem as previously described with our forum search functionality. i.e. When a user searches a term in the bbpress forum, the results show a line of gibberish, not search results.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can tweak so that it shows our “forums” page search results?
Thanks,
Michelle
This is a common issue
Your theme may think that the bbPress forum pages are a blog post and displays it in excerpt form.
This guide usually helps users fix this.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Need any help with this reply back.
If you can think of any improvement for the guide, then tell me some suggestions on how to improve it.
If you want to develop it manually you can use any of these conditional tags for bbPress and WordPress.
bbPress Conditional Tags
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
or you can use a plugin like
- Restrict Widgets
- Widget Logic
Well there might be other ways , but it would be more complicated.
The guide just says
Find the file bbPress is using (use What the File)
Copy and rename the file to bbpress.php (use FTP)
Edit the file to your liking. (use a code editor like notepad++)
The edit the file part may seem complicated but it is really quite easy , and I would help you out on this part.
If you want find the file bbPress is using and copy the content in the file to a gist.
https://gist.github.com/
After that I will post a link to a gist to help you out.
That guide was for earlier version of bbPress ,it might be archived later for a new guide to take its place.
The following is written for version 2.2 of the bbPress WordPress plugin. Information in this tutorial may not be applicable to earlier or subsequent versions of the plugin.
See if the creating a theme section would help you.
Right now there is really just some placeholder links and text that I just wrote up real quick , so this guide might be improved in some later days.
It should help you create a child theme, understand what is usually in a theme. and how to customize it to your needs.
Customizing
It should do this by default , if you haven’t already try these troubleshooting steps especially the plugin issue steps.

If nothing works contact your theme author
