if your theme author did not copy all of the bbpress templates to your child theme (use a child theme if you didnt) you can go into the plugin and copy the loop-single-reply.php file into your bbpress folder.
if your theme is highly customized and copying the file from the bbpress templates to your child theme is causing issues, contact your theme author for help as your theme might be highly customized.
this link might help explain better how to copy the templates you need into your bbpress folder, but since you have customized templates from your theme already try not to overwrite them.

i see it on the right..i think.
is it a userpro widget or does it do this automatically??
if its just a userpro widget , and you want to remove the sidebar from all bbPress forum areas create a bbpress.php from page.php or single.php and remove all the content you dont need especially the get_sidebar php code.
heres some help on creating a bbpress.php
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
if userpro does it automatically contact the plugin author.
if you need any help creating a bbpress.php file and removing the unnecessary code you wouldnt need , reply back and possibly paste your page.php file first.
@dealtek
dont edit the core files or you will lose them the next time you update bbPress.
please follow this guide instead
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
and please create a child theme as the guide says to , because it will make customizing bbPress alot easier. you can edit all the bbPress templates that you have copied to your child theme safely if you go to appearance>editor and choose your child theme and find the bbPress templates/css, you can also use FTP and a advanced text editor like notepad++ to edit files on your cpu.
here is more information on child themes
Functions files and child themes – explained !
the left margin CSS for bbPress threaded replies is
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
margin-left: 50px;
}
to make it smaller for a small device use something like this.
put it anywhere you can put custom CSS
or if you copied the CSS file into a folder called bbpress into your child theme , you can add it below
/*--------------------------------------------------------------
Media Queries
--------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* =Standard Mobile Landscape
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
margin-left: 20px;
}
}
you can remove the reply author image too if you want
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-avatar,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-avatar {
display: none;
}
}
Robkk, thanks so much for responding to me!
I’m still trying to figure out how to use an FTP client, so I pretty sure that I haven’t created a bbpress.php file. I’ve been trying to use FileZilla, but it’s not working as smoothly as I’d hoped.
My site is www.http://artintheblood.net, and the forum is www.http://artintheblood.net/forums. I really appreciate any insight you can offer. Thanks again!
it might be a theme issue, if you havent created a bbpress.php file please do so it usually fixes most common theme issues.

you can also link to your site and see if i can find any conflicting CSS that might be causing the issue.
Hello. Since few people asked for it (I think there was even thread here few months ago), I’m trying to make my plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-rating/) compatible with bbPress. As far as I understand, bbPress got own filters for content and that’s exactly where I got stuck. I can’t find list of filters. I found bbp_get_reply_content and bbp_get_topic_content but they exhibit kind of weird behavior. bbp_get_topic_content does exactly nothing, and bbp_get_reply_content filters content of first post, which is actually topic and I’m pretty sure should be filtered by bbp_get_topic_content.
Screenshot
So questions are:
– Is there a list of filters?
– If no, what are filters I should use to filter content of topic, reply and forum?
– What is this problem I described above?
bbPress version is latest stable available.
ok I found css in
templates/default/css/bbpress.css
ok basic newbie question….. where do i look for this?
– in WP I can go PLUGINS> bbpress> edit – on the right are some php files – but not sure where to look for the CSS stylesheet for bbpress?
– in Appearance> edit css – I do not see any bbpress stuff?
I have access to the ftp directory for the plugin – do I need to go there?
Hi @johnjamesjacoby,
I currently have bbpress 2.5.5 installed and the participant role can’t create topics and view/initiate replies. All other forum roles are working just fine. Tried everything: remapping,deactivating all plugins except bbpress, changing the theme (2013,2014 & 2015)….still its not working.I don’t mean to be brash or rude , but are there other options beside these plugins (q&a , user role,bbPress Capabilities)Please help out.Looking forward to your feedback.
Hello,
Is there a action to show another php action to only the author of the topic?
For example, if the author was looking at the topic he would see some text and if someone else was looking at it they would either see nothing or some other text.
Also, is there a action to detect if a topic is open or closed?
For example, If the topic is closed then another function would appear and if it is open then that action would not appear or something else would.
If you are not following what I am referring to then it would be the bbpress directory files. bbPress > content-single-topic.php
another question sorry for the double posting , so I was looking in database to uninstall bbpress for a new installation but I cant find also the bbpress tables in database
Of course bbpress plugin is installed because of that Im confused and the forums with old topics are there in site.com/forums all data is there I deactivated all plugins to see if it works but nothing changed
Do you have bbpress plugin installed
can you not copy that from the legacy folder and paste it into the theme bbpress folder
I have the same problem but I dont have Tools > Forum > Reset Forums
is there any extension to do it ?
in tools tab I hve nothing about bbpress
Hi,
I have wordpress 4.1.1 installed and bbpress forum was working fine until I updated wordpress and bbpress.
So in admin Area I dont have more the tabs forum or replies, I have nothing as tools > forum etc
The forums are there in the frontend but I cant post and I get instead this messagge:
ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.
Before posting this topic I saw all forum duscussions about this issue I tried everything.
I created another user and I installed bbPress Advanced Capabilities
With the new keymaster created I posted one time but it doesnt work more 🙂
Im confused because I cant understand where can be the problem.
ohh before I forget I installed also a plugin called bbpress wp4 fix wich I found here in a forum reply.
Anyway I exported xml files for topics , replies etc and went to phpmyadmin to remove all data in database about bbpress for a new installation but I cant see any bbpress table there.
How can be possible ? if anyone got the same issue and knows what to do please but please tell me what to do.
Thanks!
ok, this could be lots of things, and part of what you mention is buddypress not bbpress.
so start with
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
and if you aren’t seeing forums/topics and replies in the back end then
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.
There is no need to copy the bbpress.css file.
you just need to put it in your child theme’s style.css, BUT add the ‘!important ‘ which stops bbpress overwriting it.
.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg') !important; }
You may find you don’t need all the string above ie ‘.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background ‘ but have a play if the full doesn’t work, or come back with a url/link and I’ll try to help
I dont understand the question…sorry.
You installed bbpress, have you checked the dashboard? activated the plugin? and do you have a link to the site so we can have a look to figure out wha you mean.
I have installed buddypress, but I don’t see the file of this plugin in (file) ‘pcpanel wordpress’. I don’t know if I need a file for each plugin. Can you explain to me if I need the file for buddypress? I have created a file (bb.config.php) for bbpress. Thanks.
Does bbPress have a plugin or capability of searching the database for a similar post and displaying that to the user before they submit their post (hopefully to cut down on the post duplication)? Similar to how Bugzilla operates.
WP: 4.1.1
bbPress: 2.5.5
Woops, that was for the GD bbPress Tools plugin. Sorry!!
If (WHEN!) I find where bbPress embeds the images, I’ll let you know. 🙂
new to WP and BBPRESS (latest versions)
I like threaded replys a few levels deep
When viewed on mobile the user image and left margin on reply distance pushes the text way to the right – offscreen after just a few threads
1 – can I have less less distance (left to right) between threaded replies?
2 – can I remove the user image to get more space for text?
WP and BBpress = latest
Just getting started….
I would like to edit the css for the user entries – so that I can reposition the user image/ remove the user image etc….
also control the width of the user entries
I don’t know where the css is located
I do know a bit about creating a child first… but still a wordpress newbie
any ideas?
