I used the first code snippet above in my functions.php with ‘post’,’page’,’topic’ in the array. It DID show the topics in search results BUT, unfortunately, it blanked-out my topic page (no topic or reply text just the title and reply form).
However, I took a chance and installed the super-old “Search bbPress” plug-in and edited the script to NOT add ‘replies’ to the search results and it worked!
Thought I’d share my experience in case anyone else has been hunting for a solution to this for weeks, like me.
Ciao,

Sorry about that previous post, no idea why it looks like that (you can delete it)
I have both a test site and a production site. This is repeatable in both environments.
I had to disable BOTH of the below plugins to make bbPress work.
Revolution Slider – Version 4.6.5
User Role Editor – Version 4.17.3
Revolution Slider is part of the Avada 3.7 theme and they say “Avada has full integration with this plugin.”
Another thing I just now noticed since it working is that the options “Tags:”, “Topics Type:” and “Topic Status:” were not originally available when using the [bbp-forum-index]

Yup…its a plug in. I disabled every plugin I have except for bbPress and it started to work.
Now I have to enable 1 by 1 and see which one it is.
Thanks for your help and I will update as soon as I find which one it is.

text-decoration:none;
}
Hi, I’ve changed the background color in my bbpress forum but for some reason the background color is not affecting the padding (or so it seems). I’ve searched online and found I may need to add overflow:hidden and even overflow:auto. I’ve tried to add this to many many variations and combinations of IDs and CLASSes (there are so many!) but I can’t figure it out.
I’m using a child theme from the 2014 WordPress theme but didn’t change too much.
My forum is at: http://www.pippenings.com/rv-living/rv-motorhome-life-forum/
Here is the CSS styling I’ve added to the forum so far (minus the child theme’s styling which was mostly used for changing colors…)
Can you please help me out?
#forums-list-0 .bbp-forum-title {
font-size:1.6em;
text-decoration:none;
}
#forums-list-0 .bbp-forum-title a:link {
text-decoration:none;
}
#entry-content #bbpress-forums {
background-color:#232d36;
overflow:auto;
}
#bbpress-forums ul, #bbpress-forums li {
background-color:#232d36;
overflow:auto;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, bbp-body, #bbpress-forums p {
background-color:#232d36;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.forums-list-0 li.bbp-body {
background-color:#232d36 !important;
overflow:auto;

Very strange! I was setting up my new forum (newest WP, newest bbpress) and the subforum pages are looking just fine. Also the topic pages looked good – until recently. Now, the topic page is only displaying the core content (starting with the breadcrumb-path of the forum topic), but no design at all!
When I look at the sourcecode of a topic page, it starts like this:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
Where is all the beginning of the page, with the usual html elements for the page design?
I activated another theme and it has the same problem.
Do I have to reinstall bbpress?
Unfortunately, I cannot post a link here, the forum is only visible for logged-in users.
Thanks for any help!

add this anywhere you can put custom css
add !important at the end if it doesnt work at first too.
to shrink username , change 12px to something lower if you want to go smaller
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name {
clear: left;
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
}
to make user role disappear
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role {
display: none;
}
the IP is only seen by keymasters , and it is very useful if you want to block users who are spammers, but if you want to remove it just use this CSS.
span.bbp-author-ip {
display: none;
}
Thanks for the answer, Rob!
bbPress Digest might be an solution for my aim, I’ll have a closer look at it.
I found a small workaround (for sure not the best solution but feasible): I open the topic just before I want to post something and close it right after I’ve made the reply. So the mails are sent and subscribers nearly aren’t able to reply.
I let you know if I could solve it more elegant
the Private Groups plugin needs bbPress so both.
Robins got you just in case you forgot about the topic in his plugin support forum
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-i-need-bbpress-as-well#post-6308430
@dvdfever
ok this CSS changes every link color in bbPress to black
#bbpress-forums a {
color: black;
}
and this CSS is for if you want any links in the topic/reply content to be a different color like blue, just like blog posts usually have.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border: medium none;
display: inline;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: blue;
}
also use some of the CSS that i posted here since you have a dark background.
How do i change the color of the text and box?
im kind of leanging that you might need some custom development for this
jobs.wordpress.net/
but im not sure if this kind of plugin is what you are after
wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-digest/
highlight and search these links in google
Hi everyone. I am currently working on a Turkish site which uses Buddypress as well.
The translation here seems to be a great start, but it seems to be incomplete as well:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default
Do you by any chance know of a more complete version (if I understand correctly. Cagatay has combined multiple ressources / “I download bbpress turkish files from various sources”)
Would you mind sharing your language files with me? Maybe we can alspo work together in translating the remaining fields so we all end up with a complete set in the Turkish language.
All the best.
as long as attachments means something like media like images and vides
bbPress does not support this unless you have another plugin from the WordPress repository.
contact the plugin author of the plugin you are using for support
or get some custom development done here
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
for forum topics/replies
try this code robin posted in the topic you linked to
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 16px;
}
this is for breadcrumbs
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-breadcrumb p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
}
Nothing is broken. I do not know what I am doing. Documentation is not helpful.
I dedicated a MultiSite subsite to the forum. WP 4.1/BBPress 2.5.4
I have never set up registration/login on any of my sites.
I do not want the site to require a login.
1.) I have no idea how to set up the forum logging in, at all.
2.) Many of my users do not have email accounts. How can they register?
Any input or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Still not completely sure why this is happening, but I think it’s because of the way the forum is being displayed using the BuddyPress group tabs/screen hooks. Digging into the is_bbpress() function, none of the WP_Query information is being set so it doesn’t pass any of the is_ functions.
You can filter is_bbpress in bbpress > includes > extend > buddypress > groups in the setup_filters() function and get it working, but I can’t see a way of doing this without modifying the plugin code.
Hi, my needs are pretty simple. I’m looking for an alternative to google groups. I need a place in my WordPress site where only members can post and only members can read the posts. And I need a way for members to receive one email each time there is a new post. There needs to be an archive that members can consult to dig around and find a particular post from the past.
I have had various frustrations with google groups and yahoo groups. In theory the way they work would suit our group just fine, but in practice, there have been some problems, so now it’s time to look for an alternative.
As you can see, I don’t need to do anything fancy. My question is, shall I install the Private Groups plugin, the bbpress plugin, or both?
Thank you.
ok, le’s start by eliminating themes and plugins
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.
I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Jetpack Markdown.
The problem I’m having is the formatting of the saved data.
If I leave bbPress as is.The fenced code blocks with the three back-ticks get all screwy. I’ve found this is because of the bbp_code_trick() function on the bbp_new_reply_pre_content filter.
If I remove that filter the fenced code block works, but the inline code doesn’t. Somewhere the & character is being escaped to & and messing everything up. For instance, instead of < it ends up being saved to the database as &<. I cannot find where this is happening.
I tried both suggestions with no resolution. When I deactivated all plugins except bbpress I did not see it in the menu. I switched my theme to 2012 and it didn’t come up either.
Again, this problem began when my site was moved from my old server to a new one. Not sure if that would give you any other ideas.
I have a new forum, for recorder players. Older folk mostly, feedback indicates a larger font is needed.
I’m running WP 4.0.1, bbPress 2.5.4, and BuddyPress 2.1.1. Everythig is working nicely, the forum is at http://recorderforum.com/forum/ I’m using the mysitemyway Elegance theme
Looking at a previous bbPress forum post, I was able to increase Forum and Topic font size with the following CSS
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 16px;
}
Using the same method, I’d like to increase the font size for
– Forum posts/replies
– Breadcrumbs
Any pointers gratefully received.
ok, 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

Yes, the area on my wordpress dashboard for bbpress labeled as “forum” is no longer there. My forum is still there and functioning on my main page.
