@korobochkin
in the trac they are trying to add this feature and at least an option to disable it.

[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.
just delete the user from the WordPress backend
go to users>all users then search for the user you want to delete
hover around there avatar and name and you will a bunch of links which one of them says delete
click that
then the next screen which is added from bbPress which says
[] delete all content
[] attribute all content to: {some username}
tick delete all content then confirm deletion
try this
add it anywhere you add custom css
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
margin: -15px 10px 10px;
min-height: 100px;
padding-left: 80px;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
clear: none;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 0;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 0;
width: 60px;
height: auto;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role {
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
clear: both;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0;
}
@satanicdogooder
did you add these too?? it seems like its the only thing your missing when i checked your website.
/* try to make these two different types of dark shades if you care about having an AB color pattern of replies/topics/forums. */
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: inherit;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: inherit;
}
Hello,
I’ve been looking for a function to delete all user posts and topics from a user ID without luck. What I’m looking for is something like:
delete_all_posts_and_topics(bbp_get_current_user_id());
Anyone know if bbPress has a similar function or some clue to how implement it?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Is it a secret or something?
no i pretty much told you that its might be just switching the loop-single-topic.php file in your child theme with the original bbpress plugin version if you wanted the smaller avatars.
if it still looked weird the rest would’ve been just fixing a couple of lines of CSS
to completely remove them you would need to hand me a link to your site and I’ll give you a little CSS which will allow you to remove them.
you can also just remove the avatars with PHP
but just adding this code should work on an original bbPress loop-single-topic template.
.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }
is the bbpress support is dead ? :/
Holiday weekend here in the U.S.
You’re using two versions of software that aren’t labeled as being compatible, so your mileage will likely vary. If you can be more specific and take a bit of initiative to investigate what’s broken, it’s possible someone can help you work this out. That said, your best bet is to use current and compatible versions.
Same problem with last version of WP and bbPress.

Hello,
I am hosting a wordpress website with bbPress.
Everything is working great, expect for 1 thing that is pretty annoying.
How can I use the empty space, since I use 2x site bars, the space is already limited.

Ah well, I can tell you where I went wrong the first time I tried to do it – I didn’t have any users other than the ones that imported in the site (multisite install), even though I had plenty of users in the network. Once I put the users into the site where I was running the forum import, then it worked properly.
Probably a simple matter, but not something I intuitively realized since it’s my first time attempting to use bbpress and manage the setup/import/etc by myself.
WP – 4.0.1 – multisite bbPress 2.5.4
Forgive me if I’m asking a repeat question but I’m struggling to find an answer and I’ve searched every combination here I can think of…
I’ve imported from phpBB into a new bbPress install on a new MU install.
The user names on the previous phpBB are not the same (emails, user names or display names) for the accounts they need to be attributed to on the bbPress.
I saw a reference in one of Stephens posts last week about deleting users and changing their posts to a different user, but I’ve not been able to find the directions.
Any help would be appreciated, it’s the last thing I need to do so that I can kill the old phpBB and move forward with the bbPress.
Hi those codes worked great on the bbpress forum paage! However they did not translate to the topics section. I added them to my child Css.styles.

Any idea why the background of these pages did not take to the CSS change?

Hello:
Using the following: (Twenty Thirteen, WP 4.0.1, bbPress 2.5.4, bbPress-Admin Bar 1.7.1, bbPress-Email notifications 0.3, s2Member 141007)
We can no longer add attachments (pdf docs, and the like) into Forum Topics. Previous attachments into Topics are also no longer available or present in the older Topic posts.
The Media Library shows the attachments as linked to the Topic post and a separate page for the file when opened with limited settings available in the sidebar when you view the Media Library item (Forum post attachment).
The Forum Topic post attachment capability was available prior to recent updates of WP and our plug-ins. Also, more strangely, – prior attachments that were no longer viewable in the Topics became viewable on the open web through Google search of our domain name. The path of the files were shown as “/wp-contents/uploads/2014” even though the documents were posted/attached in a secure (“Subcriber” login required) Forum. The world could see our file attachments but not our secured users, ironically enough.
I’m totally confused now with the settings of s2Member and bbPress that will allow secured users to attach files to their Topic posts without them being viewable by the world. The option to attach a file to a Forum Topic post, is in fact, now gone. We did use Forums to post documents to logged in user members to our site under a specific Subject. Is there a better way or am I missing new settings somewhere?
I appreciate your help or suggestions. Thanks!
Hello, I have upgraded WP and the bbpress stoped working… any ideas ? I dont want to migrate to 2.5.4 because where is much changes in my 2.3.2, I tried to install fresh 2.3.2 version but no luck.
I have installed bbpress on my website, but when I click on the forum I have created, it just reloads the homepage and doesn’t do anything. I can give a link as that will reveal my website which is currently under construction, but it is exactly as it sounds pretty much
I just ran a very simple query over the user table
Update wpusers set user_nicename = REPLACE( user_nicename , ‘ ‘, ‘-‘ ) ;
This did the trick for me … It must be possible for bbPress to have the space replaced by a hypen in the function to create the userprofile link …
Hi, quick and simple.
I have imported our SMF forum to bbPress.
All 150k posts and replies have been shipped over, all fine, but all posts are in “my” name now.
I have ticked covert users setting and the users are in the database, but still all posts are shown as being posted in the siteadmin name used for the import.
I have used the repair settings as well.
I have never done an import like this before, and not really sure where I go wrong. I have done the import twice, but still comes out with the same.
I do hope you can be of some assistance.
Cheers, Cato.
ok,
1. what two plugins did you try that didn’t work?
2. have you been through https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
3. Does it work if you disable s2member – just a test to see if it is a conflict
4. what permalink are you running – dashboard>settings>permalinks
5. What bbpress slugs are you running – dashboard>settings>forums
I have three sites I am merging into one WordPress site (I know, there was not a clear pathway, but now I am correcting it). I have a bbPress forum on one of the sites that I need to migrate into an existing site. I have brought the users over already. Is there a suggested manner I should use to import the forum? the WXR Export does not seem to work properly.
Thoughts?
Perhaps this is the solution, found at https://gist.github.com/sc0ttkclark/e5de9d9f2f13964bcecc

Hi,
I am volunteering on a not for profit site running wordpress 4.0.1, bbpress 2.5.4, s2member pro 141007
I have yet to be able to see any of the forums, topics etc as all I get is a 404 error. I have ready through the info about this issue and tried everything suggested, including the two plugins that are supposed to fix it to no avail.
I do have pretty links turned on, I do have a “Forums” page and have tried it with and without a shortcode to pull up the forums and it just shows the shortcode and never the forum. The only way I get get anything to show is to use the “ugly” link to the forums but none of the links work from
http://ontariodoulas.org/?post_type=forum
Any ideas on where to go from here? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
no.. frustrating. Any clue?
