I just split this topic, bumping a two year old topic is of no help to the previous posters and 9 times out of 10 won’t be helpful for yourself either 😉
I’m not exactly sure what you are after or you have already fixed it as your forums look ok.
To answer the specific question though, make a copy of your themes page.php file and rename it to bbpress.php, though as stated I’m not sure you need this.
All I can suggest is you look to find someone who can help you out with some custom CSS and the like, we try to make bbPress work ‘out of the box’ with the thousands of themes available and if you need it to look different you need to makes these changes yourself or find someone who can or pay someone.
We can give a few tips when we can see the forums but as we can’t even see them we can’t offer even anything basic for you sorry.
I have the same problem. I installed bbpress on another blog, to see if there were any problems with plugins.
I installed the same theme, which is Genesis, I installed one by one all the plugins to detect if it was because of this that the error was produced, but in the second forum all publications are instantaneous, while in the first take several minutes to appear.
I hope you find a solution, but I have noticed that I am not the only one having the same problem.
My blog is my forum with this: http://compraraccionesdebolsa.com/foro-de-bolsa/
Sorry if there are any misspelled words, but I am using Google Translate.
The primary problem from what I see is you have different font size/color for the bbPress signature plugin you are using.
Hi,
I would like to integrate a forum in a wordpress page, and obviously I was thinking about bbpress, but I have major worries about themes moderation. Before installing, I have 4 specific questions regarding this:
May I include a button to denounce a commentary –bad language, publicity, whatsoever-? I think it is a key issue for developing a forum and the harmony between members.
May I include a profile of the user –company, linkedin profile, etc.- in the registration form?
I would like to have 3 sections, with different permissions in each of them –being able to post mainly-. Is it possible?
May I insert a twitter/facebook sharing button in each post?
If this is not possible do you know if I can do anything to solve these issues?
Thanks in advance
This is because your theme appears to be inserting bbPress within a page that lists the ‘author’.
You may need to make a copy of your page.php and rename bbpress.php and remove anything ‘extra’ that may be being inserted there.
bbPress does not include “groups”, I think your referring to BuddyPress, head on over to their site to work out what’s going on https://buddypress.org
Hi.
I have been partly successful in changing the mobile layout of the bbpress. I have managed to make avatars smaller in the mobile layout and also more aligned to the left, as well as the author name and author role. However, I can’t seem to find the correct code to make the content of the reply (bbp-reply-content?) more to the left or to make the space smaller between the author info and the text.
Surely there must be a very simple solution to this?
Thanks!
I don’t know of any plugin that does this for bbPress, you could try searching for a WordPress plugin that does this for comments then contact the author to see if they could add support for bbPress.

I recently switched to the Graphene theme (which I must say is quite awesome!!!), mainly because I wanted something that I could integrate a forum into without creating a separate site or subdomain. Plus this was the only theme that looked great right out of the box.
With that said, if this is a bbPress issue and not a theme issue, I will certainly seek help in a different location. I am horrible with code but with simple instruction, I could navigate my way around it.
I uploaded the bbPress plugin, created a page, and promptly began placing the shortcode in the widget areas for loggin in and registering. The default log-in was already filled out for me and I clicked the ‘Log-In’ button and when I refreshed my screen it took me to the home page. I reopened my WP log-in screen and when I logged in, it took me to my home screen again, not my WP admin panel. Am I doing something wrong? I want to be able to integrate everything in this theme without having to leave and log-in to an entirely different site. Please help.
Thanks
bbPress should work fine using the ‘default’ settings including the default slugs:
The shortcode should be [bbp-forum-index] (You used bbb and not bbp)
The Japanese translations for forum and forums are the same, these should be different based on how the Japanese language uses plurals in this context as if they are the same this will cause a problem for bbPress, I had to use フォーラ so it was different from フォーラム 😉
Here it all is working for me, my domain is http://en-au2.wp.nw/build, yours would be http://careerkokusai.com/ and everything is using ‘native’ Japanese for the permalinks 🙂

Simply it is not us here at bbPress (or BuddyPress) that would write the code to add support for that software to use with our software, it is up to them if they want to add support or not.
As I don’t own a Mac, yet, I think this is the issue in that your MAMP setup is using port 8888:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-3-now-available/page/3/#post-133305
The only difference between XAMPP and MAMP (free) is that XAMPP uses “localhost” host name, while MAMP (free) uses “localhost:8888″ when using MAMP ports by default (MAMP pro uses “localhost” that tell why it works OK with you). So I went to MAMP preferences and changed the ports settings to use default Apache and MySQL ports to use “localhost” instead of “localhost:8888″, and finally posting topics and replies is available again 🙂
Even better I setup a virtual hostname manually in MAMP (free) and the everything works fine.
I hope this will help others with the same issue with MAMP (free). Thanks for your time
Hi there,
First of all I am not a hardcore coder. Used to code 20 years ago, so I can read a lot of the syntax, but am quite new to the javascript, php etc. Can handle myself a bit in sql though.
I am trying to migrate a very big MyBB forum to bbPres (1,7 mlj posts and 63k discussions). Tried to do it directly on my VPS, but it took way too long. Ages…
After some trial and error I was able to make a complete dump of the MyBB as SQL and imported it on my Mac’s MAMP. I was one happy muppet and kicked of the conversion.
Whatever I do I keep getting the same messages. No error messages, just that there is nothing to convert. I have tried every scenario I could think of that could go wrong. Localhost port, userid/pass on database, prefix etc etc. Whatever I do, even leave blank fields to get some kind of error message, I still get the same result. Absolutely nothing to convert.
I’ve checked the code but could not find any error handling. Could be there, but I am not too familiar on linking php code files.
I get the feeling this is some kind of MAMP issue because I got it to run on my VPN.
Any help / suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance!
@marximusmg yeah i know you got this whole topics idea from high existence
im just saying if you find a wordpress theme that is compatible with bbpress either on the wordpress free theme repository or on like themeforest and it has a placeholder in the reply area tell me.
if you find it before me then update this topic with the name of the theme.
Sure no problem @Robkk….it would be great help if you can and you can surely take your time. I did try that plugin you told me last time, not a big help and also I read on one of the forums before it used to work with WordPress & BBpress together, but not anymore. I just wonder why they did that.
Well, anyways thanks for you help and time towards this issue. Greatly appreciated 🙂
Apologioes if I’m being thick, but line 29 of bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php says
<legend><?php printf( __( 'Reply To: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_title() ); ?></legend>
Is that not the line you want to get rid of/change?
With some elbow grease BBPress can look and work better then many forums, it does require some creativity and time but can be done.
have a look at the BBPress forum I am styling, I call the theme BBFacelook.
BBFacelook
yeah there is alot that goes into making a successful website.
it may not be making a good looking forum.
or even be creating a forum at all.
Like 4chan is an ugly looking forum , but it still has a ton of weird users.
That doesnt mean you can say the support forums are useless.
The bbpress.org support is doing there best to help everyone the best they can.
They are not suppose to hold your hand and tell you step by step on how to create a really successful website. I mean come on!!! Its all on them and their decisions on what to do with it.
And sometimes, people arent that great at making websites, sometimes its just a project at first then they realize its not really for them.
Sometimes they just cant get enough attention and users on it to create a successful website so they see they are wasting money on it they quit on it.
yeah just remove the “topics” and “posts” words in the header by the “latest post” word
it should be in loop-forums.php
the rest i guess you can look at the default bbpress stylesheet and use that to help you get it looking right.
enhancements should most likely go to freelancers , if its something somebody can find out in a less than ten minutes why not share it with the rest of the bbpress community.
if its something that might take time , then it will take time.
you dont always get your question answered in an hour of posting it might take more time.
so it is dumb to start complaining on how you dont get your questions answered lightning fast.
I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying, I understand a lot of people will feel a bit of a backlash from the post, just because they have put a lot of time into the forums.
I wont debate the above with you, but, if BBpress provides support, then where does one go for enhancements?
Ok, The BBpress.org support forums are pretty useless
this picture should sum up how i feel about your entire topic.
and try to know the difference between a problem and an enhancement.
Forum search in menu is an enchanement.
adding color coordinated user roles is an enhancement
post rating only on certain subforums is an enhancement
custom styled submit button is an enhancement
I have been able to link in my past comments but now the box that lists the forums and topics does not fit properly and looks awful and the colors look bad. I went and the bbpress website for a description and how to change this and although I am college educated with a masters degree these explanations are incredibly complicated Is there an easier way to make these changes hopefully without css
I temporary disabled bbpress because it looks so bad.
Thank you for your help
