I also cannot find any forums on your site, I see bbPress is activated though.
Could you add some links that take us directly to your list of forums (and a link to your main forum page) and also a link to a topic.
<a href="http://yoursitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>
this should work after you have done everything in
New Topic Button at top of topic, and Topic Creation on Separate Page
I whole idea of having this forum is having a common place where admin of bbpress forum can chit chat about managing the forum. i appreciate that you guys have provide genuine feedback. Now i am think what the point of having this forum because Mostly Webmaster talks about code and customization and i have limited knowledge regarding that. i think i should abort this forum.
I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?
try this, but if you see some weird looking css throughout the rest of your site in that area remove it, Or try to find an alternative.
.content {
padding-top: 5px !important;
}
search forum and topic icons in bbpress search then go from there
they use , the bbpress shortcode for the new topic form.
[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
more shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
create a page , lets say “new topic”
add that shortcode, and save
place an html link in loop-forums.php
the link should look like
<a href="http://sitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>
style it with css with
a.bbp-new-topic-button {
background:#009375;
color:#fff;
}
Hey Robkk, thanks for the reply.
1. http://www.highexistence.com/ should be an example of a great looking bbpress site
https://bbpress.org/about/examples/
Totally agree. It’s a beautifully designed site.
2. i want that Hethens Voting plugin that site has .
I’ve been looking for it, so if you find it, please let me know!
3. the reply form below topic post could be there because they are showing the lead topic, and then inserting the reply form after that. not sure i will look at it though.
Again, please let me know if you figure this out! I appreciate it!

saw your site , and see that you have an actions button on each post
i assume you are doing the same thing as my dropdown list for bbpress admin links, or that you took the code from my topic. I think its a great idea , and more help would be great.
As for your site , right now all i can see is that its doing the same thing as this sites support, but i guess if you can come up with some cool ideas and code or i guess some custom themes you could in the future be for bbpress as buddydev.com is for buddypress if you develop some features for bbpress users.
@kris35

I am using bbpress login widget on my website http://www.topics-talk.com/

How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?
Hi, I’m trying to display the total posts and topics count on the index page (content-archive-forum).
I know that this works inside a forum, but is there something similar that counts the totals posts / topics ?
Thank you.
and look at the styling crib
bbPress Styling Crib
@indrekhirsnik sorry I don’t know the answer to that one, and the bbPress import guru is I believe away at the moment.
@tomkalili
I can only suggest that you start by setting up a forum, and then come back with any questions you have.
to start you should follow the guides in the documentation
Codex
Ok thats great – thanks. I was using User Pro but I didn’t like it. I kinda remember the BBPress login widget was a bit rough looking but am sure I can get a coder to make it look pretty. Do either of you know if most people with a BBPress forum also use the BBPress login widget or do they use something else?
ok, I’ve just loaded UAM on a twentyten theme with bbpress.
I set up 2 groups
Name Description Read access Write access Role affiliation IP range
partners partners description only group users only group users none none
lock pages lock pages description only group users only group users none none
I then set one page to have lock pages access
I have changed nothing on UAM settings, so these are all default.
With unregistered users, this works fine – all topics and their contents are visible. Until I can re-create what you are getting, it is not worth trying logged in users !
Can you try the plugin without woocommerce just to see if it is UAM & Woocommerce & bbpress that is the issue? and then with twentyten just for a moment.
After that, if no luck, please list what you have for all UAM settings, and I’ll see if that makes a difference.
Yes support is a little short here but we just have to deal with that. I think support will improve as the plugin becomes more and more popular but it’s just taking a while 🙂
As bbpress is a WP plugin, your question is more WP specific, so – as you’ve mentioned – you just need to use the WordPress Codex to find out how to do things like move your installation. This is a valuable tip for everyone – if you’re having trouble finding an answer here, try the WordPress Codex or support forums as many answers can be found there.

To provide you an overview, the article covers the following:
- Allow you to create a monthly membership product with Automatic Billing System.
- Require customers to Pay for a Monthly Subscription to gain access to the Forum pages.
-
Provide the ability to Limit Content (forum pages) to Subscribed Members only.
- Allow Members to Manage(cancel) their Membership Subscription from inside their bbPress Profile.
To implement these features we have used, bbPress (as the forum plugin), WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions (to offer paid membership), Groups and Groups WooCommerce (to restrict forum access).
Kindly let us know if any additional support is required with regards to this implementation.
Just got myself this fix. I will come back and let you know if it works.

Hello,
I am importing my forum to bbPress.
It is a no-name software created by 4-5 persons during 10 years and it is seriously lacking in every aspect so switching the software makes a lot of sense.
What are the most optimal and fast settings to use when importing my data ?
Right now i am using Rows Limit 10 000 and Delay Time 1 second.
It has taken 18 hours to convert ~1 650 000 rows and it is still going on.
The forum is large, ~600 000, topics, ~2 400 000 replies in 18 forums.
Best Wishes
Hi Robin, so you don’t like feedback here?
I love feedback, but you need to realise that this forum is supported by a small bunch of volunteers. I have absolutely nothing to do with bbPress, I am just a user who is trying to give something back and help others, as I was helped when I started using this software.
But I do feel that to complain about the support and lack of functionality for something that is free, and that the authors could quite easily decide to stop developing, is not the best way to achieve a positive response.
Anyway I do hope that as you learn how bbPress works you will come back and help others, so that someone else’s answers are not left for as long as yours.
well I appreciate it been open source, My intention was to point out something’s that I was disappointed with and not to put it down. If I had that intention I would have not spent 3 days upgrading to BBpress. Sometimes the best way to see things improved is to give feedback.
Thanks Rob, I will take all these things into consideration.
