Hi Everyone,
I am just newbie on this forum bbPress and i guess something is not right with this part:
Step 6: Copy the Default bbPress Theme to Your Child Theme Folder
The default files are no longer stored in wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes. There is a folder called default at bbpress > templates > default, but which files need copying I do not know.
While still in FTP and looking at the root folder of your WordPress installation, go to bbPress’ theme folder. That is, go to wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten. Download all the files from this folder except style.css. These are the files that will style your bbPress theme.
Now return to your child theme folder (wp-content > themes > yourthemefolder-child). Upload the default bbPress theme files to the child theme folder. You can change the image you see for your child theme in the admin area by uploading a new screenshot.png image to this folder.
I did not saw wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten the plugin directory so maybe it was mess i guess. What i saw is this wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default.
Any helps should highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do the default bbPress notifications work when you subscribe to a topic or forum??
Test this without the wp-smtp plugin to test just bbPress.
You may need to use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ , but test the default bbPress subscriptions without wp-smtp and this plugin first.
It’s really strange. After the post is submitted (and as long as status is pending), the topic is included in the users subscriptions: (var_dump on wp_footer)
bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids( $reply_author_id );
bbPress Moderation uses the hook “pending_to_publish” to send an Info to all subscribed users that this new reply is published:
function pending_to_publish( $post )
{
...
bbp_notify_topic_subscribers( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id );
}
If I add this:
bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids( $reply_author_id );
into this function before or below “bbp_notify_topic_subscribers” and write a var_dump to a separate file, the topic-id is still inside the topic-id-array during the publish process ( {old}_to_{new} ).
But if I var_dump this array directly afterwards (frontpage: page reload –> wp_footer ), the id isn’t still in there (email fails if I post with another user).
It seems that anything erase this specific topic-id for this specific reply-author between publish and the next page load. All other topic-ids are still in this array..?
To add it manually to the hook ‘publish_reply’ with this bbp-function doesn’t work:
bbp_add_user_topic_subscription( $reply_author_id, $topic_id );
Has anybody an idea why this can happen?
As long as the reply isn’t publish, everything works right with the subscription. It’s also possible to manually add this user to this specific topic after the reply is published. But if this user send a new post for this topic, the topic-id is erased inside the subscription array after publishing..
No caching is active…
You might create a child theme and just use bbPress plugins theme compatibility and transfer your templates to your own bbpress folder.
It depends on how your theme structured everything for bbPress , its CSS , and templates.
Enable Visual Editor
TinyMCE Advanced allows you to include alignment buttons.
You might need this code, because bbPress does not support all html for participant users that TinyMCE Advanced may use for its buttons.

ACCORDING TO THEMEBUILDER YOUR PLUGIN DOES NOT ALLOW DESCRIPTIONS
The forum description should show at the top of the forum to introduce the topic, between the title and the blue bar. Without it, it’s like walking into a room wanting to have a conversation and no one is there. Please fix this very basic common sense request. It’s simple, allow the dashboard text editor content to show up at the top of the page. Why wouldn’t you include it? Makes no sense. You want people to interact on a title alone.
FROM THE THEMEBUILDER
I have researched this in the BBPress support forums, and the description on the single forum page is not an option in BBPress.
You can even try changing to another theme and you will see that the description on the forum page will not display, it is not a theme issue, rather a BBPress issue.
Who ever told you otherwise was misleading you. Sure it can be done with customization, however it is not how BBPress operates out of the box.
In my research I came across this plugin, it will allow you to do what your after: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

My forum is set to Public, but you cannot see any posts unless you are logged in.
Is there a way to change the visibility to allow visitors who are not logged in to see topic posts?
I’m also using the Ultimate Member plugin, in case that matters.

trying to get the feature image funtionality on front end so user can have the option to upload image about the Topic
This sounds like custom development , you might need a developer to do this type of thing.
get the feature image on Widget “Forum list” Default widget of BbPress plugin
You would need to create a new “Forums list” widget mostly based off the original bbPress default widget.
Then use get_the_post_thumbnail to render your featured images
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_post_thumbnail
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
This is a common issue. Your theme is just rendering bbPress as a blog post
You need to create a bbpress.php for your site to fix this.

Hello! I am very new to WordPress.
BBPress version: 2.5.7
WordPress version: 4.2.2
I want to remove the email id and website options for anybody who is starting a topic or commenting on a topic.
Could you please tell me how?
Website link: http://www.theiotportal.com/forum/discussion/
Hello
When users register, I only collect their emails and names. As a result, the nicknames that show on the forum are their emails. To prevent this, I want to implement the nickname system. But there is a problem in the BBPress.
I experimented by creating a new user and changing his nickname to other people’s nicknames. That is, nicknames should be unique, but it seems that people can just change their usernames to whatever they want, including the nicknames of other people. There is no system that checks for uniqueness of nicknames.
How am I supposed to fix this problem?
Hi People!
Please, some help to solve this:
1. I would like to have the code to center text, images, and things in the editor of bbpress. Any idea? (If i write <center></center> in the editor the text after the code change their size :/ ).
2. Simple, how can i add a double space to text in the editor? (if i tap a double enter, it should show a double space)

Thank You!
I have both bbPress and BuddyPress installed on my WordPress site. When someone posts a topic in bbPress, it automatically displays in the BuddyPress activity stream. If another user replies to the post inside the BuddyPress Activity Stream, the reply only shows up in BuddyPress, not also in the bbPress forum where the issue was originally posted. Am I missing a setting that would cause the reply to show up in the forum post as well?
using WP 4.2.2 – theme (Jupiter v4)
Hello
the theme i’m using (jupiter 4) had a bbpress directory at theme root when I installed it. (wp-content/theme/jupiter/bbpress). i imagined for compatibility .. but it’s not
any recommendations regarding customization regarding ditching jupiter’s included bbpress and following child theme documentation for the plugin)?
(the url is a dev site that includes an IP i’d rather not post here, thanks!)
WP SMTP works fine. The bbPress Notify does not work at all, and I have no idea why.
hi,
My genesis theme adds a padding to .entry and therefore the content-sidebar pages have this padding too. It makes the forum content really narrow. I want to remove that padding. Only for forum pages and topics. How?
The site is still in development but i included a url that shows the issue.

I want a feature where you can select/check two or more forums and on click of submit button only topics belonging to the selected forum(s) come. How can I do this. Please help!

Thank you!
I copied the code in https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#16-adding-description-to-forum-pages but there seems to be a problem with it and I’m just getting a blank page when I try to view the forum (When I comment out the code, the page shows up again, but of course without the description).
I added the code to functions.php – is it supposed to go somewhere else? IS there some update needed to this code, given that it is a year later?
Thanks in advance!
I realize the bbpress sidebar only displays properly when I add widgets to the default wordpress sidebar; however, I only want sidebar displays in the forum page.
Hi,
I am using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin to create a siderbar for my forum. However, the sidebar displays underneath the forum, which supposed to be on the right side of it. I am trying to solve it by changing the default forum wrapper, but it does not solve the problem.
The error page: http://kayden.sg/forums/
Hope you can help!Thank you so much!
When I use the bbpress index shortcode, it shows only the first 3.5 forums (notice I said 3.5 because the 4th one only the title is shown. I have 7 forums, and I need them to display on the forums page?
Thanks
