Stephen and Robkk, once again thanks for everything you do here.
I will continue improving my bbPress and will post some codes once I´m done.
And I try to track ‘all the things’ here on bbpress.org, I’m not necessarily able to participate and/or contribute to everything going on here but do typically read every post here on the site, luckily the forums here do not need much moderation, but some day to day maintenance is needed.
and we all thank you for that 🙂
ok, you have some distinct display issues caused by lots of adverts,masking any input, which are certainly not helping, but tried it and received no email.
This is a wordpress/host set up issue not a bbpress one.
EDITED : see post below
ok, could be many things, and we could spend a lot of time trying to track down the exact issue.
So we’ll go for two options
presuing that the “downloaded recommended plugin” is bbpress wp tweaks then lets start with :
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate
Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets
And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar
let us know if that works.
Cool, added the latest change, you can see where it was and where it moved to 😉

Are there any updates on importing an old bbpress forum? I am trying to do it at the moment and cannot seem to work it out.
Things are getting tricky and or difficult following the actual code here 😉
I just made a GitHub gist containing the original bbPress files and then progressing through each of the above posts revising the code in each file.
You can see it here https://gist.github.com/ntwb/695bc26b44d6458040c7
Scroll to the very bottom and you will see the descriptions of the revisions and links to each change 🙂
If you have a GitHub account you can ‘fork’ my Gist, edit and revise your own versions, it makes sharing code so much simpler to follow, but is only a suggestion of course, don’t feel obliged to have to create a GitHub account and continue as you are here if you like. Showing revisions, green code is new code and red is removed code along with line numbers is what makes version control so awesome, you are able to clearly see what has changed and where exactly 🙂
Here all the revisions listed in one hit https://gist.github.com/ntwb/695bc26b44d6458040c7/revisions
Unfortunately I pasted the code correctly, but I still do not see a link anywhere
well like is said i had trouble with it too i had the code in my content-archive-topic.php and then it disappeared for some reason.
But before i had the code there i just threw it into loop-topics.php so it should work.
But if your a style freak like me you will get annoyed whenever you look at your favorited topics and subscribed topics and also see the new thread link there too.
Any other ideas perhaps?
No idea, flush cache?
Sorry for bothering you man
nah your not bothering
ok delete the new thread code from content-archive-topic.php
and now copy loop-topics.php into your child theme
the entire code of loop-topics.php should look like this
<?php
/**
* Topics Loop
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_loop' ); ?>
<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-topics">
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
<li class="bbp-header">
<ul class="forum-titles">
<li class="bbp-topic-title"><?php _e( 'Topic', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="bbp-body">
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</li>
<li class="bbp-footer">
<div class="tr">
<p>
<span class="td colspan<?php echo ( bbp_is_user_home() && ( bbp_is_favorites() || bbp_is_subscriptions() ) ) ? '5' : '4'; ?>"> </span>
</p>
</div><!-- .tr -->
</li>
</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_loop' ); ?>
Okay, I’ve just tried to delete the line get_footer in my old bbpress.php file and it worked. The only problem now is how to set it to full width. Can you help me with that. Sr for double posting.

hi there, I am running latest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress. on my registration form I have the standard wordpress details – username, email and password fields – but then I also have the username field for buddypress – in profile base fields which cannot be deleted. how can I delete one of these – or sync them – so that user only has to enter one username and not get confused with which username to use for logging in etc. please – someone I need urgent help on this – have already asked in buddypress forums but no luck yet. pllllleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee.
Thank you.
I would also like to update, so after reading some more last night, I found the documentation on the short codes. I tried making a dedicated page and using the short codes to load the main forum index. Now this works in almost every way, including using the proper sidebar that I want, however, the search option at the top is now off set, with the button below the bar instead of next to it. I have been fiddling with the CSS for awhile to see if I can get it to align properly, but so far no luck. And now, even the page provided by the bbpress plugin is doing the same thing. So maybe I messed something up, or maybe I’m just missing something, but if I can get this solved, I will have a perfect solution.
Latest WP and BBPress versions (just did fresh install / update)

I am having an issue where the Login Widget is no longer showing the current logged in user’s name. The avatar and log out links are there, but the name has disappeared. Could it have something to do with changing the primary “name” profile field?
what am I doing wrong guys?
reading carefully
your suppose to put <a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
above <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
like this
<?php
/**
* Archive Topic Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) bbp_topic_tag_description(); ?>
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>
</div>
tell me if you got it to work now
Okay I am here with “New Thread button”
1)Downloaded folder content-archive-topic.php from my bbPress plugin folder.
2)Uploaded whole folder to my child theme
here is how it looks now
On top of the code in that folder I added this code :
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
So now my folder looks like this
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thread</a>
<?php
/**
* Archive Topic Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) bbp_topic_tag_description(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>
</div>
Unfortunatlelly I am unable to see new thread link anywhere, what am I doing wrong guys? @netweb @robkk ?
ok, so in your PC create a file called bbpress.php
(you can use notepad for this)
then dump this code into it
<?php
/**
* bbPress - Forum Archive
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_before_main_content' ); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>
<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php bbp_forum_archive_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #forum-front -->
<?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
save it and using ftp copy it to get
wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/
where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme
so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php
bbpress will then use this template
Come back and let us know how you get on !
Vikaria brings up an excellent example. We would like our topics to order exactly like they do on the bbpress.org homepage. Any suggestions or advice as to what we may be doing wrong and how to remedy the situation? Thanks!!
Exactly – the same way the most recent topic posts are listed in order of recency on the main http://www.bbpress.org page.
Hi guys,
This is my first question about this bbPress, I’m a new developer and I have quite a few difficulties to learn and use this plugin, writing this message to ask about one thing what I need to put on my forum. That is the description below the title of the forum is here:
I could only put it in the forum:
Website: http://test.grupodeartes.com/forums/
Thank you very much, I hope you can help me.
Hey Guys,
We would like the topics on the Forum index page to display in order of Freshness. I understand this to be the default behavior, but for some reason our forum is not using that ordering.
http://cornerstonecollective.com/forum/
I have looked in settings and dug into the source code looking for a way to set the order to use the appropriate meta data, which I believe to be _bbp_last_active_time, but cannot seem to find the answer. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
WordPress Version: 3.9.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.4

@pavle123 damn your confused haha
read everything carefully
Look at the code i tell you to put in templates carefully , it is just a snippet of the template with each new code in it. So you have to copy the original template to your child theme. find where the new code on here is placed, compare it to the original and place the new code in your copy of the templates in your child theme.
nothing goes into your child theme functions.php
How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?
you copy bbpress templates into your child theme so its okay when bbpress updates, i explain exactly what template to copy and also i show you a snippet of where to put the code by the original code.
you put custom css into anything that can handle custom css
in bbpress.css in your child theme(you copy the original in your child theme)
in your child themes css stylesheet
the jetpack plugin module custom css
a standalone custom css plugin
if your still confused read https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/
It would be useful if you could share the link or something.
Have you pasted the forum shortcode on a page?
Forums
[bbp-forum-index] – This will display your entire forum index.
Oh crap, do you mean I should copy the whole folder content-archive-topic.php inside my theme? Well that makes sense 🙂
Here is what I did :
1) Uploaded content-archive-forum.php to my child theme folder.
2) Added this piece of code at the bottom
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>
<?php echo do_shortcode("[bbp-stats]"); ?>
3) Added this CSS in my style.css of child theme (CSS is not working unfortunately, not sure why?)
.bbp-stats .bbp_stats {
list-style-type: none;
display: block;
text-align: center;
margin-left: 0px;
float: none;
}
.bbp-stats .bbp_stats li {
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px;
}
So, now stats are shown at the bottom, but CSS is not targeting the stats.
Okay about “new thread button” I was unable to make it work. Here is what I did.
1) I added content-archive-topic.php folder from my bbPress plugin content-archive-topic.php into my child theme folder.
2)Added this code
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
At ABOVE the content-archive-topic.php
<?php
/**
* Archive Forum Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_index' ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>
<?php echo do_shortcode("[bbp-stats]"); ?>
But its not working for me.
Any ideas?
I have the battle site and test. Installed on the test, the forum is working. When moved to the combat, an empty page. Disable plugins, reinstalled. Does not work, no errors. But the page is blank
Hm, okay I did not know where elswehere to put it.
<?php
/**
* Archive Topic Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) bbp_topic_tag_description(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>
</div>
So this obviously does not go into css, so do you know where inside my child theme should I put the content-archive-topic.php code?
