Always done this?, just started?, just installed bbpress?, have you added anything – like plugins?, changed themes?, updated plugins?, updated wordpress? what versions of bbpress & wordpress are you running, which theme?
and what is a ‘response’ – a reply to a topic?
Come back with further info, and we’ll try to help 🙂
Hi guys,
I was battling with this issue too. I didn’t want to abandon the Yoast SEO plugin so this is the function I added to functions.php in my WordPress theme to fix the issue:
// fix yoast seo plugin issue with user title
function fix_not_found_title($title){
if (is_bbpress()){
if ($title == ‘Page Not Found – SiteNameHere’){
return ‘Forum User: ‘.bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘display_name’ );
} else {
return $title;
}
} else {
return $title;
}
}
add_action( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘fix_not_found_title’ );
It’s a bit of a hack but it works for now. I hope that helps!
Cheers,
Sebastian
Thank you for your reply.
I’ve had a look at the article but unfortunately i’m not much further with this. I only have one page template – the default page.php and i’ve tried creating a bbpress page template as described but this doesnt change anything. I can’t see in my page.php any reference to a different style for the index page.
If feels like i should focus first on sorting out my breadcrumb/structural issue. I can’t understand why my site isnt using the page name in the breadcrumb as appears to be the case on other example bbpress sites. See here.
The example site uses the default slugs whilst the breadcrumb uses the page name – as you’d expect. I’m not clear what to do to get my site working in this way which would get rid of my double index page issue.
I’m having the exact same issue – their replies become visible as soon as they log out. I’m using WP 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4 and bbPress WP4 fix 1.0.
Any support from bbPress here to help us?!?!
Thanks. I had been searching and talking on wordpress.org and been told bbPress but simply because of the key word ‘forum’ and not my real need for a single page bulleten board. My search continues…
Hello People
I’m tried to install bbpress on my website http://journeybyafricans.com but I keep getting an error message Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes I’m currently using WordPress 4.0 and the latest version of BBpress.
Thanks
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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.
I managed to work it out!
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
background-color: #transparent;
color: #000;
}
It was just a matter of messing around with the things provided!
The issue not readable was a hidden option issue, I deleted the topic and made a new one. It shows just perfectly now 😀
I want to have a single discussion page on my website. As far as I can see bbPress is for multiple forums and wordpress is for pages and blogs. Am I barking up the wrong tree trying to mix them?
I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.
In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,
I changed color: #ccc; to #000;
This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/
This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

Hi all –
Using Twenty Twelve theme with bbpress version 2.5.4
I have a topic that has over 1,000 replies and spans 36 pages when set to 30 per page.
Now whenever a reply gets posted the user is directed back to page one of the topic, instead of going to the bottom of the most recent page.
This started happening yesterday after the topic went over 1,000 replies.
Any suggestions why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I installed and activated Bbpress, but it doesn’t work.
I should see the menu item “Forum” and “Topics” in the dashboard, but don’t see anything and it didn’t create any new page. It didn’t do anything.
Thank you,
Luca
this is probably a theme page issue
see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
depending on your theme, you may need to do some renaming and editing of files – reda the article and then come back if you need further help
From front end it looks like this:
http://temp.stillrunnin.com/runnin-board/reply/edit/
That is what it should look like
can you just check if this is an issue with the replies that were imported, or just new replies created or both, and how these relate to topics that were imported?
In other words do all the following have the same issue?
topic imported, reply imported
topic imported, reply created in bbpress
bbpress topic, reply created in bbpress
Put the following in your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
you can put in multiple lines eg
if ( $translated_text == 'old text1' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text1';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'old text2' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text2';
}

Hi, i’m getting in a twist trying to sort out my forum index page. It seems like i have 2 versions of it.
When i setup my forum i created a new page called ‘chat’ and added the [bbp-forum-index]shortcode to it. Everything at first looks to be working great but when i click the index page in my breadcrumbs it takes me to a different index page called ‘forum’ which doesnt have the custom side bar that i set up (which is visible on my ‘chat’ index page and topic pages. One interesting thing is that this ‘forum’ index page picks up my theme styles nicely but my ‘chat’ one loses my theme font.
I have tried changing my forum slug to ‘chat’ to match my new page and this does resolve the breadcrumb/2 index page issue. BUT i then lose my custom side bar and still dont have the font styling.
I’m confused on what is going on here so i’m not clear where i need to head to get this sorted out. Should i be making my slug and forum page be named the same or is it that i need to work out why i have two index page? Any advice would be massively appreciated.
As a note, i used wp tweaks for my custom side bar although i already had SimplePage side bars installed which i use elsewhere on my site. Also, my site uses a custom permalink structure that includes category/post name rather than just the standard postname structure
I am using wp 4.0, bbpress v2.5.4 and here is a link to my site
Chat
Many thanks
Robin W., after reading that, I think I should explain my problem better. I do not want to change my entire WordPress site’s language. I really just want the ability to customize the text on bbpress, such as “Create New Topic”. I want the text to be both in Chinese and in English. Is there a way to manually do that? Thank you.
Hi
If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].
On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.
Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).
This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?
I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.
Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉
So just wondering what to do next.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this.
Kind regards
hi guys!
if you go to my website, redwhiterocket.com; youll see that the text and formatting of the login widget is off.

I disabled all plugins except bbpress & bbPress and set the theme to twentytwelve
The error was still there tho.
Hello,
I’m trying to convert a phpBB 3.0.x to bbPress using the default import tool by bbPress, but it looks that user avatars are not imported.
Anyone know how to import theme? (my phpBB has over 5000 users so I cannot import them 1 by 1 :P)
Thank you all for the kind words, bbpress has worked out well for me and my Italian Wine Lifestyle site. Keep up the great work, bbpress folks!
Cheers.
Michael

Oh great, Robin. It works for me. Thank you very much!
<?php
$idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
$forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
$x='[bbp-single-topic id ="'.$forum_id.'"]';
echo do_shortcode($x);
?>
you won’t be changing subscriber – that is a wordpress role – bbpress has it’s own roles, and probably that is participant.
I’m sure you can , but haven’t tried so don’t have code offhand.
Suggest you just create a new custom role, and then set your bbpress user to it.
