could be many things
lets start by eliminating plugin and theme
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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
I would like to follow up with number two on this list.
It took a whole matter of an hour after I installed my bbpress for a spammer to register. I deleted them immediately, but if I wasn’t at the laptop he could have immediately made a mess of the new forum.
I would like the ability for new registered users to be in a specific moderated role where all posts they make are held in as moderated (private) until approved. And then, when it appears they are legit and not spammers, I can move them to the standard user role. Is there a way or a plug-in to do this? Thank you.
no problem, I have been trying to figure out both word and bbpress and am slowly getting to grips with it, but it is not easy mate I know.
Here is a link to the forum I am building for a client, I call the theme BBFacelook, if you would like to know how to add any of the features I have added just say so, but then you better make a new thread.
BBFacelook
Good luck with your forum.

Like @rastarr two years ago and @acornale last week, I’m looking for a way to perform a unified search of both my website and the bbpress forum. (Forum results show up in WordPress search, not just in separate forum search.)
In both cases, Search bbPress was a recommended solution. Unfortunately, the plugin hasn’t been updated since 2011, and Support threads indicate it does not work well with the latest version of bbPress. The forum on my site is also behind a paywall, and the search function in this plugin would circumvent the login page.
bbPress Search Widget was the other recommendation, and the author is still active in the Support threads. However, “unified search”, or anything similar, is not one of the features listed in the description.
Does anyone know if bbPress Search Widget includes a unified search of the site and the forum? (I’ve reached out to the author and am waiting on an answer, but it seems unlikely that a feature such as unified search wouldn’t be listed under bbPress Search Widget features.)
If not, are there any current alternatives for making a unified site search? Is bbPress likely to add this function as an option in the future?
Thanks for your time.
I just installed bbpress and I have the slug set to forums, but when I go to site.com/forums it brings up an item I have in a portfolio which is part of the theme. No matter what I make the slug it brings up the same item in the portfolio. If I delete that item from the portfolio, it brings up the next item in the portfolio.
Any ideas?
I’ve made 2 groups in UAM, one for partners and one to lock pages. Both aren’t bound to WordPress / bbPress Roles. If i create a page or a post i can choose one of this groups or not. If i choose one, only the members of the group can see the page / post (this works) and all subpages too (recursively).
The forum is open to all users so the forum page has no group selected. I can’t change anything else without knowing more about bbPress or UAM. And i know nothing about it =P
Could something in the topic template cause this problem or is it more a core problem?
Do you maybe know an other plugin to lock pages (with user groups) if we can’t find a solution for this one?
Hello,
I came from a kunena instalation and bbPress is displaying the posts and CPT of my current WP site as forums and topics instead of the real forums, this is the url: foro viajeros, it still keeps the original forum threads as replies.
Any recomendation or idea on how to solve this issue?
Regards,
Kevin.
1) Permit forum users to reply to an email
only plugin i know is https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress-Reply-by-Email
which uses mandrill and postmark for sending emails
2) Send new forum applications (registrations) to the moderator to either approve or disapprove
that plugin user profiles made easy should work on bbpress.
3) Permit forum users to post pictures e.g. .jpgs
you can use the img button in the toolbar which will use a url of a picture then embed the picture in a post.
you can use oembed which is already in wordpress core, where all you have to do is add a link to an image in a post then it will automatically embed. (imgur, flickr, are some examples that can do this.
and yes bbpress attachments plugin
ok, I’ve seen UAM before but not used it.
If I understand correctly you want to protect posts and pages, but not the forums.
That should be doable.
bbpress uses 3 types of custom post
topic
reply
forum
It may be that you need to look that you’ve not set UAM restrictions on topics and replies thinking that these were WP not bbpress? That would explain the result you are getting.
its on my virtual machine so its a bit diffucult.
Basically this user profiles page such as yourself: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/robin-w/
Comes up with a 404 page not found error.
Hi all,
We are working on a forum in BB Press but wish to have the following:
1) Permit forum users to reply to an email (e.g. to their yahoo or gmail account) to respond to a post rather than logging in and posting on site.
2) Send new forum applications (registrations) to the moderator to either approve or disapprove
3) Permit forum users to post pictures e.g. .jpgs
We have been told that 3) is possible via a plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
Can you assist?
Regards,
Simon
P.S.
Software is out there that can do 2) but not BB press
E.g. http://codecanyon.net/item/user-profiles-made-easy-wordpress-plugin/4109874
See User Profile Approvals allows admin to manually approve users before they login (New Feature)
It can be done, you would start with
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
see https://codex.bbpress.org/amending-bbpress-templates/
remove the number – that’s also on loop single reply – see my response on
[Resolved] how to remove the author box on left page post ?
take out line 27 on loop single reply
change word
put the following into your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'reply' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
and just change ‘new text’ to whatever you want it to say

bbpress has a number of converters, including phpbb
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/
suggest you create a test site and give it a go. That will tell you if you need to get back to a vanilla version first.
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
to convert, just go into dashboard>tools>forums>import forums
Stephen Edgar is the bbpress converter guru, and if you hit difficulties I’d suggest you post a new thread, and I’m sure he’ll help.

ok, something is truncating this into excerpt
You need to see if it’s a plugin issue, switch back to a default theme.

sorry, you need to put it at the end of your functions file

Hi,
I have just decided to go for bbpress. I have some questions I hope someone can reply on.
Today I am on phpbb3 version 3.10 and some kind of unofficial version, phpbb3-seo, not supported by phpbb3 themselves. I made it a vanilla once and it can be done again.
Since 5 years I am on a custom phpbb portal solution. I am after the CMS functionality. I have almost completed a bridge between phpbb and Drupal, but got cold feets on Drupal. I want to goo with WP!
I wonder if there is a best practice for importing the db to bbpress? My DB has 90,000 posts and is over 350 MB in size. Will I have to go trough a vanilla? Can I bring with me the anonymous posts from deleted and anonymous users?
Looking forward to your reply!
Ps. If anyone want to give me an offer doing this for me I am open ears. I need one version now, and anonther version once the site is developed. We can exchange the DB trough Dropbox.
Cheers
ok, you will need to modify
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply
make a copy of this file, and put in in a directory called bbpress within your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply
If you know any coding you basically need to take out the div bbp-reply-author, and further up after the date add the author name
If you don’t know how to do any of that come back and I’ll try to help, but I have limited time to customise bbpress for individuals 🙂
you should be more specific next time so i could give you what you wanted
copy loop-replies.php from your bbpress plugin to a child theme folder named bbpress, if you havent created one create one
more information on this
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
remove this entire code inside of your loop-replies.php in your child theme
<li class="bbp-header">
<div class="bbp-reply-author"><?php _e( 'Author', 'bbpress' ); ?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-author -->
<div class="bbp-reply-content">
<?php if ( !bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>
<?php _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?>
<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
</li><!-- .bbp-header -->
if you want to keep the favorite and subscribe links just place this code anywhere where you want to put them
<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?>
i use wordpress a plugin bbpress
i dont know that make difference
how to remove the author box on left page post completely?
please help
OK, the way I see it is like this.
There are two avatars cause the forum/topic list has two elements that use an avatar.
1. the avatar from the poster of the topic, this avatar is there with the topic title.
2. there is in the freshness an avatar displayed for the reply poster.
In between the topic title and topic freshness there is an element that handles reply, post and/or voice count.
This makes three elements inside this forum list, two with an avatar, hence two avatars.
The list itself is situated in an UL (unordered list in a bbpress php file called loop-single-reply.php).
This ul has three LI (list) elements inside it, the first topic-title, second topic-count, and third topic-freshness.
btw, you have a cache plugin that prevents s to check your CSS in chrome etc.
This line of code will put the avatars where they need to be, you just add this to your themes CSS file, and remove the display:none from your .avatar CSS.
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
Here is how it looked for me after adding this.
good luck

@ttmt place this code into loop-topics.php above the <li class="bbp-header">
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
@robin-w I think the second one would require PHP and i hate PHP , but i can tell you the second one is going to use scraps of this
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
and some of this , basically the wp-get-current-user and output a link
