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

Functions files and child themes – explained !
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.
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.
ok, something is truncating this into excerpt
You need to see if it’s a plugin issue, switch back to a default theme.
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.
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
Peter Hamilton
@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
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
anyone please help how can i put name email title put into one table when user post topic or reply?
another question is how to change these name email title font bold and larger and the table boarder color too?
thank you i use wordpress with bbpress plugin
No, I am not using this plugin. I just implemented the bbpress forum and have not made a full switch to it.
oh my bad , easy confusion when you said you replaced wordpress to a forum, i guess you ment user engagement.
When you said, that this functionality will be implemented in the future, you meant bbpress topics for posts?
yes , but the feature you suggest could be good for topics for posts, and going to Dashboard>replies
Now, on the other hand, I have to click the forum, the subforum, the topic, and scroll down to the end, to be able to reply.
Robin said go to Dashboard>replies , so you can see every reply and just click view to go straight to the reply, and make time a little faster , but yes a reply button would be great
Because I would like to see a reply button on the Dashboard–>Replies section
I would too , this is actually not a bad feature implemented in the core since it would be great for workflow for moderators in my opinion
so suggest a feature in the trac
@netweb should look at it
Never mind I just fixed it. In case anybody else experiences this problem, here is what I did:
(back up database first)
1) deactivate BBPress
2) install User Role Editor
3) Click the red Reset button which will reset all roles to WP defaults
4) Re-activate BBPress.
I have had this strange issue on two different sites now, where after installing BBPress, admin accounts are unable to access wp-admin directly. I can get to the sub-pages just fine such as themes, menus, etc, but when I try to go to the main wp-admin page, it tells me “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
When I click the “Dashboard” link from the admin, it redirects me to the Updates page.
And, interestingly, when I deactivate BBPress, the Dashboard menu item in the admin disappears entirely!
Clearly something must have gotten corrupted somewhere. Anybody have a fix?
Running latest WP and bbpress versions, the main index list of forums at /forums is cutting off midway through the list:
http://www.londonfosteringachievement.org.uk/forums/
I feel like this is probably something very easy to fix but can’t seem to locate the issue, any help gratefully received!
No, I am not using this plugin. I just implemented the bbpress forum and have not made a full switch to it.
When you said, that this functionality will be implemented in the future, you meant bbpress topics for posts? Because I would like to see a reply button on the Dashboard–>Replies section…
@robin-w just helping out
link to show a list of the most popular topics
this is easy you can just create an html link to the (most poplular) view in bbpress
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
‘View my posts’ link so user could view a list of there posts
this would require a link to replies created
which i think you could if you edit some of this function
<li class="<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) :?>current<?php endif; ?>">
<span class='bbp-user-replies-created-link'>
<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>
</span>
</li>
