Hello,
I moved my site to a new server a couple of months back. My forum and all functionality is still present. However, in my WordPress dashboard the plugin “Forum” tab is missing for me to make any adjustments to my settings. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling BBPress and the issue persists. Any idea how I can get BBPress back in my WordPress Dashboard? Thanks.
what levels for both wordpress and bbpress are you using for your dummy account, and what other plugins are you using?
bbpress allows you to build and use templates, so yes it is technically possible
I’d suggest you post a project on

sorry, how does this relate to bbpress?
Hi,
i am using bbpress and i’d like to say that’s an easy and nice plugin. one thing i don’t know how to do, i don’t want people to be able to create more category, i just want user to create new topic under a category. how to do that?
thanks,
Hello, I am trying to use bbpress to have several different forum levels on my website.
I am using the Public in a way that anyone (even visitors) can see the content, but they must Sign in to Post.
I am using Private forums to be visible once users are logged in, and only have certain members able to post.
I am using Hidden forums for internal purposes, only visible to admins.
The Plugin I am trying to use with bbpress to accomplish this is the bbpress Advanced Capabilities plugin. Everything is working except the Private forums. For some reason only Moderators and Admins can see the topics and replies in the private forums. This is after I have enabled the read_private_forums, read_private_topics, and read_private_replies capabilities. I must be missing something, but I do not know what.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
is it possible to style bbpress to have the look of

having the segments in boxes like that for the front page
I’m very much a newbe to the world of WordPress and as I installed a few plug-ins at the time, I happend to give the blame to bbPress. Thanks again !
still no luck. There are no corresponding translation fields in theme’s translation files. I disabled all bbpress plugins (except core), but still no luck.
I contacted theme author regarding this issue, as soon as I receive a reply I will share here.
@siktirella it is a good idea to work together. Please share your contact details.
Sorry sorry sorry,
I found the answer. Your question gave me the lead (what other plugins are you running ? and how and where were/are you setting up the bbpress roles?a membership plugin might be responsible for this?? )
It was the Advanced access manager !!!
Thank you !!!

I am 100%sure that the problems arrived with bbPress.
Today I am the only with admin rights, but I the user list I am given the role as Keymaster but as said, I am defacto an Administrator.
NOte that Administrator does not exisit in the list !!!
For the others, I can give them the roles as keymasters but defacto they rights will not be higher than Editors.
NOTE that bbPress is not intalled but the roles availbel are (a mix of English and French):
Keymaster
Participant
Moderator
Blocked
Spectator
Abonné (French)
Contributeur (French)
Auteur (French)
Editeur (French)
Thankful for all help because I really must give the roles as editors to some more peoples.

I am pretty sure that will also be a string in the theme or plugin you are using, try searching for those strings in the theme or plugin you are using to modify bbPress. I’d also check with the author to see if they have setup the theme or plugin for translation.
And thanks for offering to help translate bbPress 🙂
Indeed passwords are 100% converted and working now, I also removed that from the codex article 🙂
With the updated importer “Buzz” will be set as a “category”, with bbPress 2.5.4 “Buzz” would have been imported as a “forum”.
Apologies, that first reply above was spam 🙁
I presume you ran each of the repair tools after import? (Tools -> Forums), if you haven’t ran these, run each of them and you might be all set without going into the database.
If you have run the repair tools then at this stage I can really only suggest you dive into the database again to have a look at what is going on….
Some tips:
– bbPress 2.x uses custom post types, in the wp_posts table you should see three post types forum, topic and reply in the post_type column.
– If you look at one of your replies in the wp_posts table you should be able to get the post ID of the parent topic by looking at the post_parent value of the reply your investigating.
1. Custom vBulletin BBCodes are not supported eg. [youtube] – You will have to manually change these yourself either before importing in vBulletin or after importing into bbPress using phpMyAdmin.
Indeed this is now fixed to work with vBulletin’s default YouTube BBCodes:
Specifically the two following BBCodes are the only ones supported (many vB forums used to use custom BBCodes and this was primarily the main issue here)
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
// Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
For example [video=youtube;eOUq4Z6R7xI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW2UJMIQvQ[/video] will be replaced with just the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW2UJMIQvQ, bbPress (and WordPress) will automatically embed the video using the direct URL.
2. All ‘Ordered Lists’ will be displayed as numerical lists.
This is also fixed
3. You may find extra page breaks <br> and paragraph <p> elements in topics and replies and is less than ideal and is from the way the BBCodes are converted during the forum import conversion. You will find these primarily around ‘blockquotes’ and ‘lists’
This is fixed also 🙂
#1 If I create the exact bbcodes in BBPress prior to the import, I assume this would rectify this area correct?
Yes, modify your custom BBCodes to either a) Match the supported vBulletin BBCode above or b) completely strip the vBulletin BBCode so just the YouTube link remains 🙂
I have updated the codex article and removed quite a few things that were listed there that are now fixed including full support to convert user passwords and the items in red in this image are fixed and/or supported 🙂
With that said “some” of these features are not in the currently shipped bbPress 2.5.4 such as Forum and Topic subscriptions and guest/anonymous topic and reply support, I’m going to post an announcement here on the site in the coming day or two on the improvements and where and how to get this test release.
I was building a website with wordpress (including the bbpress plugin) and decided to make a dummy user account in order to test everything out. It would not let me log in with the dummy account, sometimes it came back with a message about “too many redirects” but most times it just timed out and went nowhere. It would however let me log into the site with my “admin” account. I deactivated all of the plugins and then re-activated them one at a time, logging out and attempting to log in with the dummy account after each one. I was able to log in with the dummy account after each one was re-activated…until I re-activated bbpress. Any ideas on what the issue could be?
see if this helps
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
download the .zip file and upload the loop-forums.php file to your bbpress folder in your child theme.
you create a category by create selecting new forum in the WordPress backend and changing the type to category.
to put forums under each category make sure all the forums you want under a specific category has the parent as that category
the docs should help out alot for learing how to use a child theme for your bbPress installation

@korobochkin
in the trac they are trying to add this feature and at least an option to disable it.
-started 2010 -last reply 3 months ago
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1430
if you do not want pingbacks and trackbacks remove any code that is for the comments section when you create a bbpress.php and see if that fixes it.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Like @korobochkin said, the way emails are sent was changed in the last update of bbPress – it used to send individual emails, now they are bcc’ed into one email.
If it was working for you before or you just want to try this, you can change it back to the old way eg: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-subscription-emails/#post-154515
@elenams
i thought i replied to this one..
pretty much the plugins stlye.css file will get you headed into styling bbPress the way you want it.
you copy the style.css file from the bbPress plugin folder and put it into a folder called css in your child theme then edit the new style.css file from there.
if its just small changes you can also put it into a custom css plugin of your choice.

this is not CSS its mostly PHP
from what it looks like just copy the templates the userpro plugin author gave you and place it a folder called bbpress in your child theme. the url to it should be wp-content/themes/avada-child/bbpress.

thats not CSS at all …most of its PHP
it seems like you just put the PHP files that the userpro plugin author gave you and put it into a directory named bbpress in a child theme and it should work fine from there.
so the url to the directory should be wp-content/themes/avada-child/bbpress
if you havent created a child theme , here hows to

Hello fellow bbPressers,
I recently installed bbPress for my site, http://mitosisguild.com/ (WP version 4.0.1, bbPress version 2.5.4) and have found a rather annoying issue with bbPress and my current theme.
Basically, as you can see on the site, some text starts a new line when it really shouldn’t, such as this:
Any help or advice on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
