^^ that is if you want forums on pages.
@findmyrep
follow the getting started guides by following this link.
Codex
@arunkumaridi33
use this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-forum-redirect/
edit forum 1 and scroll to the very bottom and add the url of forum 2.
save the forum
now it should redirect.
use the bbPress shortcodes
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
this plugin will help you out find any posts ID
https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/
go to forums>all forums and you should see the ids
/wp-content/themes/orizon/css
is where I have put the new BBpress.css file. Which seems to be the correct place?
you’ll want
bbp_get_forum_last_active_time()
in
\bbpress\includes\forums\template.php
where is the bbpress.css files located, you should be doing
•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/
bboress just uses wordpress registration and login, so any plugin that works for wordpress will work for bbpress.
6 Useful WordPress CAPTCHA Plugins
bbpress also rides on askimet to help prevent spam entries, just check that you have enable it within the forum settings.
Unless your site has many new users, you could easily use manual registration, it takes less than a minute to set a user up in wordpress manually. That way you stop spammers dead in the water.
If your site is public, please put a url/link to an example page. What is to you an obvious written description is frequently not clear to us, and the ability to see is much better. We are also able to fix many display issues by loading your site and seeing what it is sending the browser in the background, so a link rather than a picture is really useful.
If you are setting up, please see the Getting Started section of the codex first.
Getting Started
Please see this page for any frequently asked questions we may already have an answer for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please also see these pages for help troubleshooting possible issues in bbPress. PLEASE tell us you have done the tests before when posting.
Troubleshooting
It is defined by your theme, as most of it are ‘links’ and your theme defines those
you can use
#bbpress-forums a:link
but that will change the links throughout bbpress
and you can use
#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb
for anything that is not a link.
ow !
Hopefully the company have restored the database to back beyond your attempts to optimise it?
If so it should have no errors. So if it has, they probably need to go back to an older version if they have one – many hosters don’t.
Is it just forums entries that are missing???
if so you could try
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
and when you do get it going again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do stuff to a live site again.
1. a few hours invested in a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
and you would not have lost your live site, and
2. REGULARLY back your main site (the above tells you how) and you could have just restored that – hosting companies rarely keep much, and an issue found after a week can be fatal !
Do come back for further help if needed.
I am trying to do some CSS editing to change the background on this page to black:
http://utherous.com/forums/
I have edited the bbpress.css like so
#bbpress-forums, #buddypress {
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
padding:20px;
background:rgb(10, 9, 9);
For some reason these changes are not reflected on the site despite me double checking 3 times that the bbpress.css file on the FTP has the changes. It looks to me like the site is referencing another version of the file?
Any help would be great!
My site is basically crashed. I can now see the wp-admin. I had all the plugins turned off. I turned the bbpress plugins back on.
MAIN DISCUSSION FORUM
The site shows the forums but no topics in the forums. A forum will say there are XX topics and XX replies but the next line says “Oh bother! Not topics were found here!
MAIN DISCUSSION FORUM
In wp-admin, I can see all the topics listed but the forum column shows (no forum). So to me, it appears there is a database problem. I’ve been talking with the hosting company, Blue Host, and they can’t do anything. I’ve tried restoring the database and repairing the database, but to no avail. In other suggestions?
just to jump in here
bbporess 2.5.5
wordpress 4.1.1
Twentyten theme
and no other plugins does not have this issue.
Therefoere it is likely to be a plugin or theme issue
as suggested by Robkk, suggest you
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
yeah i bet, if you dont find another plugin issue you probably need to hire someone to fix it for you.
i just checked my site just in case to see if the new version of bbPress is causing this issue, and its not bbPress.
@eastdevonalliance
i sent like 3 emails to help you.
if it didnt send they basically said
deactivate Relevenssi because it has had issues with bbPress before
deactivate Disable Comments because if you didnt create a bbpress.php it might cause issues.
check for conflicting CSS in the topic area
clear cache because i cant think of anything else.
to create a forum go to forums>new forum in the wordpress backend
I don’t see how I customize it or set up topics or set up so only certain people can subscribe to it
for certain people to subscribe to it might be custom development post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
Is there a video I can watch on how to start?
there is guides in the bbPress codex , but no videos
Codex
you can search youtube for a tutorial, make sure its at least in the past 2 years, anything older than that might be for the old versions of standalone bbPress.
ahhh so they have admin capabilities then since they have the WordPress role of Admin.
well , when i registered through i think the BuddyPress registration form, and i cant see anywhere to get into the backend right now.
see if another plugin is causing the issue.

‘Normal’ users get the message “You cannot create new topics.” when you add echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-topic-form]');
This is a similar topic to this message created almost three years ago, has anyone a solution for the current (latest) version of bbpress and wordpress.
Wordpress defines User roles as: Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor, Administrator. Admin being the highest level of control, obviously.
BBpress seems to have roles defined as: Keymaster, Moderator, Participant, Spectator, Blocked.
I have WP set to give new users Subscriber role
I have BBpress set to give new users Participant role
HOWEVER, when somebody creates an account in BBpress, they are given the Forum role of Participant BUT the WordPress role of Administrator.
The site is http://bkparties.com/bkbp-resourcecenter/
Thanks @robkk,
I appreciate that, I’ll go through some CPTs next week and play with the settings to see what the cause is and if it’s a setting will notify bbpress, etc. Otherwise if it’s a general CPT issue will raise with WordPress.
Enjoy your weekend
Cheers
I think it’s bbpress, actually. I have wordpress set to give new users only Subscriber level access, which is fine. when somebody registers for the forum through bbpress, they are given administrator level access. If i register a new user outside of bbpress, they get Subscriber.
@madvibes
its not bbPress its a WordPress thing.
you can deactivate your bbPress then switch to a user that is a subscriber then see if you can reach the WordPress Backend.
usually if the role is not admin it wont show plugin settings , theme/plugin editor , or anything they shouldn’t touch. they should only edit their profile.
but like i said if the subscriber user has admin capabilities , thats a real issue.
Thanks, i’ll look into that. BUT *why* would BBpress give a newly registered forum user admin-level access to wordpress. it makes NO sense at all.
Hello,
@clarasebeste
Thanks for you answer, but as you can see on the screenshot, bbpress has already a breadcrumb.
@robin-w
Thanks for this interessting Plugin. I test it with my Test-WP and identify this code for placing the subscription-toggle in the right:
.subscription-toggle {
float:right;
}
Add this in my childtheme/css/bbpress.css and it works. Thanks.
Found also in the extras a nice looking loop-forums.php for displaying the complete forum 😉
