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.
Could be a number of things.
1. check that you are not present on multiple screens in the same browser, sometimes leaving yourself logged in on one screen whilst logged out on others can do funny things.

you probably decrease the margin-left and add the @media at top
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}
need a link to just make sure though.
Because I pretended that bbpress users have experience with wordpress. Probably even more than someone who uses only wordpress.
copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php and remove any call for any sidebars
why did you post on the bbpress support forums??
wordpress has support forums too
Support Forums
ya didnt need to bump your topic after 20 minutes.
try that, it just changes it to black and white. change the colors to whatever you want
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
line-height: 1em;
background: #222;
color: #fff;
}
put it anywhere you can put custom css in
Hi,
I’m trying to convert a rather large forum (80,000+ replies) from bbPress 1 to the plugin version. The first time I ran the conversion, it started importing just fine, but my connection is not always stable and any time it dropped, I needed to begin again (it takes a very long time to import that at 100-reply intervals). About the 4th time I made an attempt, the importer started to throw the user_pass error (each time, I started a fresh conversion and even reset the forums between to no effect).
How can I import the users and passwords from our bbPress 1 installation? Is there any way to request in the future that the importer squelch this particular message? It makes it very hard to monitor import progress.
Thanks!

Hello,
We are nearly recovered from a hacking incident. I uninstalled Simple:Press because although it is a sweet program, it is buggy and temperamental and conflicts with my WP.
OK, just installed bbPress 2.5.4 . At some point the forum links on my dashboard disappeared. I have uninstalled and reinstalled bbPress several times, even deleted it manually from the server, but I cannot get hose links back even though the forum seems to be installed => http://rebtinfo.info/forums/ .
How do I get the links back? The installation is so new, don’t need to preserve the contents if radical surgery is necessary.
Thanks v. much!

Convert posts (17600 – 17699)-
And it just hangs there forever….
What can I do?
does this have to do with bbpress??
I also renamed it to bbpress.php
hello Friends,
I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum but it has something to do with the plugins I am using. I created a new user to give someone an authority to post videos on my site. I been testing before I hand that authority over to someone. This particular issue is giving me a real hard time.
Please see the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/maebk11vfjv0m2b/edittopic.png
I am trying to remove that EDIT TOPIC from top left corner but unable to do that. I have Adminimize plugin and then I installed WP Front Role Editor.
I am not too sure where i am going wrong with this, but if someone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

In fact took a look today and done !

You now have a template of ‘short’ which just does the titles and topics, no search or other stuff.
see the web for full details on how to do this, but for example
[bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum=’29’ template=’short’ ]
Hi, thanks for the reply!
I actually used this revision first, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380 (smf.3) Is that correct? I tried the other afterwards thinking it was more recent. (I don’t think well after 9pm ha) In any case neither worked for me. 🙂
I retried all the steps this morning. I checked the database info…
I have the prefix right, it’s smf_; I had found your earlier post when someone posted the same issue, so I checked that before posting. For the revised converter, you mean once you upload the patch, pick the correct revised converter from the drop down…? I checked that too…deleted the previous and uploaded the new patch along in case it wasn’t overwriting.
I’m out of ideas – could the database be too big? We have about 8K users.
Thanks again, truly appreciate the help on the forum. Theresa
Just wondering what the future of bbPress holds?
I’ve been following BuddyPress and bbPress development for years now and while both plugins always have to rely on the same small group of people I’m just curious if this would bring the future of bbPress development in danger?
BuddyPress is a far more popular plugin than bbPress, more people those days need community functionality attached to their WordPress sites than support forums but still, if you look at the bbPress trac it say 64 closed tickets for a very long time.
I don’t want to make this a bash or negative talking topic about bbPress, I respect the people who have done so much for bbPress at this moment and in the past.
It’s just what’s next..
Hey,
Is there anyway to enable a success message when a user submits a new topic or reply, I’m using bbpress bundles with bbmoderation, bbmoderation just changes published to pending for anonymous users.
Sadly when a user submits a reply or topic the page will just refresh and there is no message to say they’ve submitted, I’m guessing the form is submitting via AJAX but can’t seem to hook into a success.
Thanks
Ben
@netweb content-single-forum.php was it!
Turns out there is an “is not” bbp_is_forum_category() conditional statement that might be the reason it’s using that template.
Is this meant to be like that? Here’s the Github paste of the conditional in content-single-forum.php
Please also put a link where I can donate a bit of money to bbpress(if there is one)!
Thank you so much 😀
Yes, I am. If you don’t use the pagelines-bbpress plugin, then it prints a big banner telling you that it won’t display the forum until you do so!
just updated this to do a particular forum as well !

Argh! Both 😉
Wherever you are testing all of this, the phpBB database must be on the same MySQL database server, not the same actual database, just the same server.
I’m not entirely sure what the ‘wp-united’ does to the phpBB members table but there are a couple of topics here on bbpress.org about it.
Lets skip trying to import phpBB members for a minute and just go with forums, topics and replies for starters. So try your import again without selecting to import “Users”, this should be a good test to make sure that you have a connection to the database and you are indeed using the correct prefix, I expect as you note it most likely should be phpbb3_ as per your phpBB config file.
@netweb Thank you very much! I will try this.
The only thing I’m kind of left confused about is how the index for topics works? In the Amending bbpress templates codex entry it states the templates for forums work like this:
The index for the forums starts by using
content-archive-forum.php
If you open this up you will see that it them calls a further template by using the function bbp_get_template_part
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘forums’ ); ?>
(this translates to loop-forums.php)
this in turn calls
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘single-forum’ ); ?>
(this translates to loop-single-forum)
and so on.
So the template hierarchy for the the forums index would look like this:
archive-forums.php>content-archive-forums.php>loop-forums.php>loop-single-forums.php
Would the template hierarchy for the topics index look like this:
archive-topics.php>content-archive-topics.php>loop-topics.php>loop-single-topics.php
Thanks again for taking the time to help me!
Yes, it was a remote server and for some reason would not work with the IP … said “no forums found” or something like that.
Then I moved it (wordpress) to the same server as phpbb because I needed it for the bridge (wp-united) … which I tried, but got mixed up on the MOD installation. Im not a phpbb guy, and know nothing about MODS – also did not want it bridged … but rather pulled over to bbpress.
So I thought … well try the import now with localhost since it is now on the same server.
The bridge plugin is deactivated and deleted.
phpbb settings match exactly with the config file. Though in the database there is both phpbb_ and phpbb3_ for prefixes … phpbb3_ is the one listed in config. But I did try with both just to see and ended up with the same response of starting … but then nothing at all.
Ive been working on this site now since February, back and forth to fine tune everything and the “very last” piece is to just get his current phpbb into bbpress for “1” platform / admin / user interface vs having 2 separate sites, users, logins, etc.
Just need to get this wrapped up and find it impossible to get any of the import functions to work via the built in forum import, or the plugins I have tried.
