great – hopefully a later version of bbpress will fix this
@danajoy2008
oh yeah sorry , put it anywhere you can add Custom CSS.
your child themes style.css
a standalone custom css plugin
jetpack custom css module
you can also place this into your bbpress.css file that should be in your child theme in a CSS folder.
I have also an other request from them that want a like button just as on Facebook
Is that possible with in bbpress?
i already replied to your other topic about a facebook like button.
How can I get a "like button" ala Facebook within bbpress
I taught you where saying that @mentions only worked for buddy press
And use bbpress
it should work for both.
When you have installed both on your site..
If you only have bbPress installed you do not get @mentions.
If you only have BuddyPress installed you get @mentions.
Is buddy press the same?
They both improve your community.
One is just forums (bbPress)
the other is basically a lot features a social network usually has (BuddyPress)
How is buddy press related to bbpress
Same Lead Developer and both provide community functionality.
Can you explain for a none techie what I must do and install
To make tagging work on my bbpress forum
Fist make sure you have installed both BuddyPress and bbPress then go to a topic and try to @mention someone. If it shows up in a link its working on your site.
Tell me if you understand all of this.
I only have 1 registration form. Only 1. the bbp register short code has been deleted but I am still getting the emails from that.
could it be spammer going to this?? instead of the bbPress one that you already deleted.
yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register
I can’t imagine any of these being real since the old registration is gone.
yeah you might as well turn registration off til you get sorted out on this issue.
I can’t find where to deactivate registration.
go to settings > general uncheck Anyone can Register
If I deactivate registration, will that affect the VFBP
when you uncheck anyone can register it should disable this until you activate it.
As long as you use quality plugins for image upload for bbPress like this one you should be fine.

hosting images elsewhere should help on server disk space though, well unless you have a CDN.

Thank you for your patience

@pazzaglia1
is it just the search or is it bbPress entirely??
As long as you have the latest bbPress too it should work fine.
usually users that have problems with bbPress when upgrading to WP 4 , we usually recommend these two plugins to help solve their issue.
bbpress wp4 fix
bbpress wp4 fix2
you can also go through the normal troubleshooting to identify an issue.

I already told you how to make @mentions work for bbPress.
Is there anything confusing you from what i said , or do you want @mentions without BuddyPress??
@garrett-eclipse
there are likely other people who have posted a topic like this one from 3 years ago.
you can try the code the user placed below for the bbPress custom post types and see if it works.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-blog-become-current_page_parent-with-custom-post-type
try this example, change the colors/remove the text decoration to your liking.
.bbpress bbp-topic-content a,
.bbpress bbp-reply-content a {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Thanks for your answer. And how can i change themes? I got some really nice themes for bbPress.
@geekserve
what looks awful?? the you are already logged in status?? or how the login widget displays the avatar and profile links if you are logged on.
But to really customize how you want the bbPress login widget to be , the easiest thing to do is create a new widget and base most of the code off of the original bbpress login widget.
bbPress doesnt have a specific admin area for itself, it basically just uses the existing WordPress admin area.
you can,
create all the forums in the backend.
create some topics/replies in the backend but for me its better to do it frontend.
go to the settings menu go into the bbPress settings by going to settigns > forums in the backend of WordPress.
manage users in the backend.
use the addditional tools in the tools section, its named forums.
use the moderation and blacklisting settings in settings > discussion.
if you need help trying to find something else reply back.
BuddyPress should have this feature , bbPress is also compatible with BuddyPress.

Hello!
Where can i find the admin area in bbPRESS forum?
View post on imgur.com
I am admin/keymaster.
I tried with twentyfifteen and it still looks the same. Im not sure if i understand it clearly, but if yes, then: If i set it not equal then in the breadcrump it will show the bbpress’s virtual page for the forum root-and in the url also, and not my real wordpress forum page i created with shortcodes.
Hi,
I am running WP 4.1.1 with Buddypress 2.2.1 and BBpress 2.5.6 my website can be found at http://www.bewitching-fiction.com with the forums underneath.
I initially set up my page with Twenty Thirteen and upgraded to the supported Firmasite – all items are up to date.
I have one single user who is unable to post anything at all; she registered on the forums and authenticated her profile within hours of the site going live and was unable to create any posts so this week I removed her and she then (working with me) recreated her profile and again attempted to post something on an existing forum. It turns out that no matter what she does she is unable to participate in any of the conversation threads already on the forum and, having checked her profile and settings, I am unable to see anything wrong with what is on there.
Advice as to why it is only happening with this one user would be great; as would anything that you can think of to get it working. I have already stripped it down to basics and then built the site back up again with her.
Sorry if i wasn’t clear. So my problem basically is: BBpress has the forum root option, that i set the same as my wp page’s slug. It works, forum is shown on the wordpress page, and the url is okay, and the breadcrump is also okay.–>but setting the root to show forum on my wp page also breaks my [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes—-it seems to now show up on the page as if it was this shortcode:[bbp-forum-index] instead of each and every one of my[bbp-single-forum id=xxx] shortcodes.
I just made one, check it out !

Allow users to vote up or down to topics and replies inside bbPress, just like you can on StackOverflow for example.
Hello!
First: I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 running The Thinker Lite theme. I’m using bbPress 2.5.6 and my site is artintheblood.net.
I would like to change the color of the hyperlinks that appear in posts on my forum. For example, I’d like to have them be blue. I went in yesterday in hopes of doing that, but when I made the changes via the bbPress style pack (which is completely brilliant), ALL of the links were changed. The topic titles, user names, everything.
Is there a way to only change the color of links that appear within posts? Or is this just a lovely pipe dream that exists in my head?
Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!
We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced”
suggests that something is not right with the transfer.
The documentation is right
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums
so
are you still using
bbPress Advanced Capabilities,
Capability Manager Enhanced
or both?
I’d suggest they are not helping
I’d suggest you turn both off, and the report back with what is happening, and we’ll fix it from there
any kind of wordpress/bbpress or other website that has open public registration needs very strong anti spambot protection, i use a few different plugins, but some spammers still get through sometimes, no one plugin will get them all…
these 2 work well together, but a few bots etc will still slip though, search this bbpress forum for more anti-spam info

Our phpbb3 forum was migrated to a brand new WordPress installation with bbPress installed (not BuddyPress). It was done by a consultant, so I am not sure how much of the code was custom vs a phpbb3 migration tool.
We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced” and allowing the read_private_topics and read_private_replies. This now allows Participants to read the private topics, but also allows them to see Hidden forums. They cannot see the content/topics of the forums, but they can see the hidden forum titles.
The remapping to default was done with the repair tool. It had no impact, except to require me to go back and reset the handful of users that were not set to Participants.
The big question that seems unresolved in many threads is whether Participants are supposed to see Private topics/replies, or if that is a misprint in the documentation? Why would we have to use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to do what the docs say should happen by default.
@robkk
