I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I am total newbie when it comes to bbpress/wordpress and have run into an issue. I created a WordPress theme usig Beuno. I installed bbpress on top of that so that I could have a forum for discussion. The problem is that it looks terrible. Please check it out and tell me what i can do to fix this problem? Any and all help would be super appreciated.

HI, I just freesh installl, BBPRESS BUDDYPRESS and WP 4 . and I find out that my fourm posts not loading for the view part. I test ony BBPRESS and its now showing anything .. I can see in admin the post. http://mundomisterios.com/grupos/ovni-en-el-mundo/forum/
or you can check from here . http://mundomisterios.com/forums/
WP is versión 4.0–es_ES . the problem is with regular theme too .
I have setup bbpress well on my domain.But is installed in example.com/forums.How to change the root directory to example.com
The title pretty much says it all.
I’ve set up the forum and filled it out (according to set up tutorial found in the documentation.) and had everything working out fine. Then I noted that the subforums I made wouldn’t display anything. I get the generic:
“This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”
without any clue, or log or any sort of errors as to why it doesn’t display. Actual topics if I go straight to them works, and anything made in a normal “forum” that isn’t nested works just fine.
So, forum ends up looking like
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Forum – Works as intended)
Perhaps I’ve missed something, perhaps I’m just being too newbie for this whole process. I did take a search through documentation and did a quick search, and didn’t see anything. I am a man though and can’t find the ketchup bottle in the fridge. . .
However I use WP 4.0 with the 2.5.4 BBforum plugin. I also installed bbPress WP Tweaks, and disabled it to confirm that it wasn’t causing the issue. There is no other plugins or things installed in which to conflict with this.

WordPress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
I have forum set up, I can moderate it through dashboard(insert new forums), but on forum page the are not clickable items (username, password or any other link for that mater). Please help!
I just installed bbpress (version 2.5.4) on my website (WordPress version 4) http://www.radio.transitmg.com/forums/ but it doesn’t work like it seems here.
I try to start new topics but don’t show up
Can you guys can help?
you can first seperate the role , reply author name , and avatar.
i just put loop-single-reply.php into my child theme folder called bbpress
then i just remove this line in loop-single-reply.php
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
and replace it with these three lines of code.
this code also puts the role above the avatar.
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>
and to have that sites kind of avatars you dont have a fixed width so the avatars size varies a little bit in height and width but it has a max width it never go bigger than.
to do that you would have to use this.
max-width and max-height are both 150px you can change that to whatever you want.
add this css whereever you can have custom css
bbpress.css in a child theme
child themes css
jetpacks custom css module
custom css plugin
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
border: medium none;
max-width: 150px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 12px auto 0px;
float: none;
max-height: 150px;
}
if you change your mind about having the varied avatar sizes
you can remove 'size' => auto in the avatar code. which would leave the default 80px
or change 'size' => auto to whatever number you want example 'size' => 60
Thanks for logging this issue. I had the same problem. I’ve solved it without PHP, just jQuery.
For what it’s worth, here’s what it looks like:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
if (jQuery('#bbpress-forums')) {
jQuery('.current_page_parent').toggleClass('current_page_parent').next().toggleClass('current_page_parent')
}
});
</script>
It deselects the “current page” and selects the next one (which is the forum page, for me) as current. But only if #bbpress-forums is on the page.
I’ve added this to the footer.php file of my theme (GeneratePress), just before the </body> statement.
Hackish, but given that it’s noted as a bug it’ll do for now.
do you still have the issue because i went to your site and it shows a set of bbpress widgets in a widget area on bbpress pages??
its probably loop-single-forum.php that your after then.
if its not then just browse the templates in plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress
Can you explain a bit more about what you want?
Roles have capabilities, and are hieracrchical, so having two bbpress roles would be kinda pointless
If you just want a second name here, then you could use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
Is there a way to add 2 roles on bbpress?
under the coordinator role I wanna add a second role
By default BBpress shows a link to the last post with the anchor text of how long ago it was posted. This is bad for SEO. To change this to the name of the last topic, see here:
How To Change The Freshness Date / Time To The Name Of The Last Topic In BBpress
I know this is an old thread, but it’s still relevant… I wanted to share my modifications for SEO:
Basically, what I found was that when I logged onto webmaster tools, it told me that my main keyword for my site was “ago”. This was because on all forums it says the word on the homepage. I changed this to say the name of the topic instead, so it indexes better because it’s more obvious that the content’s changed and also is better for SEO:
How To Change The Freshness Date / Time To The Name Of The Last Topic In BBpress
ok, just looked and all the pages look fine now except the forum page – is that correct?
bbpress should use the bbpress template for all the pages, so you can’t really css the individuals (or not without tons of code).
How are you going to the initial forum ? is it method 1 or 2 from the following
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
and whichever try the other !
Once you are consistently wrong on all pages, you can make it consistently right !
Where are you downloading BuddyPress 2.2 Alpha from? bbPress and BuddyPress share (mostly) the same setup for development.
If it is from https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/ via the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.zip then bbPress is the same structure via https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/ and the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip
To get the “full” bleeding edge alpha’s requires quite a bit more setup at your end as bbPress and BuddyPress have recently switched to using a new build process and these are not designed to be run on a live website, only for local development on your local computer, I can point you to the docs for this if that is what you are after though 🙂
Awesome topic tags btw 😉
@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉
What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.
WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.
Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:

i think its really like making a plugin for wordress except you use bbpress’s hooks
but i havent gone in too deep in knowing how to create a plugin.
this plugin helps on finding all of bbpress’s hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-visual-hooks/
and im sure information in documentation will help.

heres some information that i found real quick that i think could help.
Plugins
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5
if you need anymore help create a new topic titled “Need Help on bbpress plugin development”
and maybe robin or stephen can help from there.
robin already has tons of plugins made for bbpress
and stephen is one of the core developers
Thank you Robkk, where can I find a tutorial or howto create a plugin for bbpress? I found the bbpress files that I need to edit and I can put my code in, but I think this is not the clean way to do it.
hmm, these are html’s way of displaying the symbols of the keyboard. They shouldn’t show up.
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.
Hi,
A couple of weeks back, in the widgets area I noticed the bbPress login widgets on test1 and test1-nlcf test1 disappeared from the installed widgets area. I quickly shut down the sites and browser. I then logged in to both test1 and test1-nlcf, and in both installed new bbPress login widgets from the available widgets area. I set the widgets up the same as the ones that disappeared but the result was not the same. Now the login widgets appeared on the mobile version of my site – not only on the website version. I then noticed the bbPress login widgets that dissappeared were down in the unused widgets area. I removed the new login widgets and put the widgets from the unused widgets back where they were. Now the bbPress login widgets only appear on the website version of my site- not on the mobile version, the way the widgets were originally set up.
Now, on test1 and test1-nlcf the bbPress login widgets in the installed widgets area are different from the bbPress login widgets in the available widgets area.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated
Thank you for your time.

We have a team who have been working over summer on a site for English speaking ex-pats living in Germany.
We have chosen a Templatic theme business directory, and have integrated bbPress as a forum. There are some bbPress formatting limitations because of the theme, and we have done our best with CSS to try and make the bbPress part responsive for a mobile. We prefer the newest first comments so make use of the excellent plugin “bbpress-sort-topic-replies”.
We went through a process of evaluating many different forums, including Muut, but in the end good ol’ SEO won the battle, bbPress having nice old-fashioned sitemap entries.
So here it is (feedback welcome)!

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .
it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/
heres a link of everthing thats built in
Add-ons
wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints
Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/
this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.
I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.
I have “WordPress”, forum “bbPress”, plugin “UserPro” … And I want to give points, rewards for users of my website, when they share articles, make comments, create forum topic, etc and has appears in his profile for everybody to see (points and medals).
So what should I use ?
Plugin mycred? Plugin WPAchievements codecanyon? or what?
Help me please.
