thank you for the reply now where would this code go in the bbpress style.css? can it go directly at the end? Or am i editing the code? same goes for the themes style.css. thanks
Id say use this plugin ,add the widget to a sidebar ,go to the forum and remove the subscribers from the widget

This seems very custom , looks pretty good though
The bbPress forum header labels have certain widths to them. So this is the CSS you might want to adjust.
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-forum-reply-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
border: 0px none;
width: 10% !important;
margin-right: 20px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}
It might look shifted because you are trying to make your forums look more table like.
The username being shifted is because of some CSS from your theme being added into bbPress.
This custom css might help.
#bbpress-forums .single_post a {
font-size: 12px !important;
margin-left: 0 !Important;
}

You can allow users to create forums if you give them the capability to do so , or create a new bbPress role for them to default as so that they can all create forums.
I only recommend this if you can moderate all activity somehow , and your site is built to handle users creating a bunch of forums.
Also note that some forums that a user could create could have minimum activity and really just be a dead forum if it is not as popular.
If users are able to create groups , I mean that is BuddyPress and there could be a way to disable user group creation from low level users , if you want to disable it.
IF BuddyPress has a different capability to add forums to groups then , I do not know if I can help there.
So I am using a custom theme for my site and when I integrated bbpress into my theme the alignment is just off for some reason. On the home page the top bar is a little miss aligned where it says “topics” and “posts” Link – http://dailymut.com/dailymut-forums/
When I go into a topic the alignment is really off under “topic” and a part of background is missing under “voices” “posts” and “freshness”. And There is a random circle over the “voices” text for some reason. Link – http://dailymut.com/forums/forum/madden/mut-player-reviews/
Finally when I go into the Topic The picture is not aligned with the username and the text box looks off as well.
I have tried to change the style.css and I have tried to change the bbpress CSS and nothing has worked maybe im imputing the wrong code or maybe im not in putting it correctly. Either way if anyone can check it out and see what the problem is and could tell me what code to input and where specifically to put it that would be greatly appreciated.
If you want that plugin to have compatibility with bbPress , contact the plugin author.
But you can also make forums private by going to each forum and changing the visibility to private.
- go to forums > all forums
- edit the forum of your choice
- change the visibility to private.
Can someone please post the link here. I only opted by bbPress over other options because I saw this nice sidebar in this forum.
And if you guys implement the code as a plugin or something bbPress would have many more installs.
that very interesting because thats how I implented the badges from user pro and integrated them into bbpress by modifying those templates. Ill look into it thanks.
Since I see you are using Thesis , take a look at this topic for help.
bbPress 2.0 Thesis Compatibility
And also this direct link to the plugin
http://studio.kristarella.com/product/bbpress-box/
Okay I will try that but normally what php file would you go into or what option would you go into in order to profile pictures on the font page of bbpress or by the “freshness” area?
For anyone else struggling to get BB Press and Thesis 2 to work (ie forums page showing blank) see these instructions:
“the problem in this case isn’t with Thesis per se, it’s just that you have to configure the Template being used for that page in a specific way in order for it to work with bbPress:
Launch the Thesis Skin Editor and access the Forums template (i.e., the one which is nested under the Archive template).
Expand the Post Box in that Template, and then remove all of the boxes which are currently inside of it.
Then, click “show tray” at the bottom of the Post Box, and click on Post Box → Content to add that dependent box to the parent Post Box; then save the template.
Once you’ve done that, view the page at /forums/ again, and you should then see the Forum Index displayed on that page (assuming you’ve not changed the plugin’s default “Forum root to show” option).”
Hello I am using bbpress in conjunction with buddypress. I also activated the function to allow forum creation with creation of a buddypress group.
Additionally I want to have forum page. When I place the shortcode on a page all forums are displayed also the ones that are created with buddypress group. Is it possible to exclude these forums form the page?
Two functions bbp_update_reply_position() and bbp_get_reply_position_raw() are what you need to look at:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/replies/functions.php#L2113
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/replies/functions.php#L2149
The two functions above are what calculates the reply position in the database as it doesn’t actually exist in the database until either a) a new reply is added to a topic or b) the repair tool is ran to calculate the reply order.
Found the patch, it needs lots of testing and I haven’t had the time to take even a cursory look at it yet https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2731, so lets leave that aside for now.
The code is here, I’m not sure your level of PHP knowledge but I’ll just add the link to it for now and will follow up after you’ve had a look at the code:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/admin/tools.php#L1134
Is there an easy way to add custom fields to the front-end of bbpress?
I am using some custom fields (file, image attachments) with the help of this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ so I add them to support bbpress forums and topics as well.
But these custom fields are available only to back-end of topics and forums and not to the front-end.
How can this change?
Thank you in advanced!
Andreas
Ok, run ONLY the following 3 repair tools: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/repair-forums/
* Recalculate the parent topic for each post
* Recalculate the parent forum for each post
* Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
Do the replies look OK in the backend now?
If not then run this repair tool:
* Recalculate the position of each reply
How about now?
(The above should repair all the post_meta for you)
@mmice
oh haha well thanks for clarifying that , easy mistake because really v1 did have that same db table name.
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/bbpress-mysql-reference
@mmice
bbPress v2 does not have a bb_posts database table , that is in bbPress v1 standalone. Which is what @netweb is referring that you are trying to import into the old v1 version even though your suppose to import to the latest version.
All of bbPress data is stored inside of the WordPress database tables.
In this guide I explain it.
Stored Database Data
No, i have bbPress 2.5.7
Actually, first i tried to use your phPBB v3.x importer and rebuild it for phpBB 1.
But i gave up (just couldn’t understand all the points).
Anyway, – for this moment most problems are already resolved. The only question is:
Isn’t it enough to import replies to bb_posts table?
Go through some common troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshooting
Its custom code to this site.
There might be some tutorial, I think someone linked to it before on here but I can’t remember where ti was.
This plugin has something close , but it has no styling.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-info-widgets/
Contact the plugin authors support forum. IF i remember correctly they have special templates for compatibility with bbPress.
You might need to create a new user role for users to default as and set their capabilities to create replies but not create topics.
