bbpress will use the default page template for the main index rather than the specific page template set in the page – so your setting in the forum page won’t apply.
There are several ways around this, but as your plugin is a paid one, I can’t see the code to recommend the best solution.
So first off I’d post a query onto their support site
Outstanding Support
they probably have come across bbpress before and will know the answer. You could tell them that bbpress uses ‘is_bbpress()’ to see if it is a bbpress page, that might help them.
Hello,
So I just started using bbpress over the weekend and so far I’m really liking it. There is only one issue I’m having that I can’t seem to figure out. I am using this plugin:
Custom Sidebars Pro
to allow me the function of different sidebars for different pages. It has worked perfectly for 90% of the forums pages except for the top level forum page. That is the only one that I can’t seem to get to use a sidebar other then the default one. At the moment, what I have done is manually made a page with the same slug as the top level forum page, left it blank except for the option that this other plugin enables to change the sidebars. Have a look at it here:
http://www.mythechllc.com/forums
if you look at the public forums page, you will see the side bar is what I want it to be, but if you look at the top level forums page, it reverts back to the default.
Hi. A couple of updates ago, our Site-Wide Forum began delivering new topic notices and notices to the site admin/s erratically. I have been trying to track down the cause ever since. Our host helped me find undelivered email and we noticed an incorrect listing of the site address (see header below). Will you please tell me how I can correct this, and will you please address this in your next update? The site notifications and BuddyPress Forum notifications seem to be going out fine. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sura (Webmaster, not a developer – so please explain things 🙂

I have a site setup using buddypress and bbpress forums. There are multiple forums that are all private-only visible to users logged in. I tried creating a hidden user group with a hidden forum attached to it. It ended up making all the other forum topics disappear to regular (subscriber/participant) users. Admin could see them all though. I end up deleting the user groups and unchecking that functionality but it doesn’t reset itself and I have to restore the site to a previous version.
Why is it doing this? I would like to have a couple user groups that will be either private or hidden and forums linked to them. Some people will be on one or the other and some people may be in both. I also will have forums that are private and only visible to users that are logged in. Any help will be appreciated!
1. bbpress plugins add exactly as normal wordpress plugins
Dashboard>plugins
Bbpress will try and use your theme, you may want to visit the set up guides
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
2. depending on your theme, you should see the ability to add a topic at the end of each forum.
You can add a ‘topic’ add in your sidebar using the text widget and putting
<a href="/add-new-topic/">Create a new topic</a>
in the text
Hello,
I’m using WP 3.9 and BBpress 2.5.4
1) I see no place to add BBpress plugins or themes inside the wp settings area for Forums.
2) On my forums there is no “Add Topic” button or form so how do people create new topics inside the forum?
Please advise/help!
Thanks
Joe
Echoing what Stephen said above, these issues are not actual issues (with bbPress 1.x or 2.x) and in are in no way responsible for anything that could have happened to your site.
When something is not installed incorrectly, of course it isn’t going to work correctly. These issues are akin to installing your TV with the screen facing the wall, and complaining that you can’t see it from the couch. 🙂
If it so happens any security issues are found in any version of bbPress, please do not publicly report them in these forums. Instead, responsibly disclose us:
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Security
We try to be really good about fixing any security issues ASAP.

how to edit this widget?
Hi there,
Im having problems viewing the user profile on my BBpress forum integrated in my website. When i try to click on the username of someone that has posted (for example – in the topics section) it takes you to a ‘page not found’ – 404 error page.
Does anyone know how i can fix it so that it takes them to the profile page?
I am using my own bespoke custom theme
Thank you
Hey guys, I’ve been looking everywhere for this
I installed bbpress and made a forum ( just testing ).
I want my forum to be full width and without the side bar. Tried the “1 column full width” layout and some custom css.
The best I’ve got is a no-full-width forum WITHOUT side bar in the /forum/ page.
But further than that like /forum/topic/… the side bar reappear.
My site is http://mmo4teens.netai.net/ and my theme is Stargazer Colloquium.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, maybe the pre v3.0.0 never included ‘topic tags’ so the best solution is to delete or comment out this section in vBulletin3.php
Basically remove the code between lines #293 and #334 in vBulletin3.php bbPress 2.5.4
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.4/includes/admin/converters/vBulletin3.php#L293
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.4/includes/admin/converters/vBulletin3.php#L334
I hope to get the updates that I have been doing over the past week and a bit finished by the end of the week and it would be great if I could get a few people to test theme out 🙂
Indeed I can confirm this is happening, feel free to create a ticket and if you have a patch add that also https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/, if not I’ll try to get some time later in the week to have a look.
When I convert existing forums to categories, the topics inside don’t show but the page does load.
There is something weird here, I haven’t quite found all the issues relating to this but I am sure it is part of what I am looking at in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2647
Could you please give me specific details on what you are doing:
e.g.
– Create a new forum via the ‘new forum’ in the backend
– Change the above new forum type to ‘category’ and update
– Visit http://example.com/forums/myforums
– Click this
– Click that
Result:
When I go here, I expect the forum to something something
Expected result:
The forum should do this and that and not do xyz or 123
You’ll need to test with the Twenty Fourteen theme and with all your plugins except bbPress disabled as I wrote in my previous post.
Hi,
I want to create a “member profiles” page that lists all of my bbpress users and links to their individual bbpress profile pages.
Now, if I want to find a particular user, I need to go into the forum and click the author link.
Is this possible?
Further to the above, it looks like wpscan pings some databases and looks for exploits in anything named ‘bbPress’ and in our case, it’s finding those false positives which only relate to the old bbPress 1.x ‘standalone’ version of bbPress.
+1 for another anxiously awaiting the VB3 importer feature. We are running v3.8.3 and are getting hacked almost weekly. As soon as the import feature is ready, we’re ready to make the move to bbPress.
Also in terms of bbPress users can look at other users favorites:
e.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/azinfiro/favorites/
But you cannot see other users subscriptions, only your own:
e.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/azinfiro/subscriptions/
You can see your subscriptions, I cannot, you want to take this into account when showing these counts wherever you are planning on doing this so users only see their own subscription counts.
You want to change line #109 in form-topic.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.4/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php#L109
From:
<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>
To:
<?php if ( ! ( bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_topic_edit() ) ) : ?>
Give Akismet a run, it’s all we use here on bbpress.org it catches most of the spam.

@tmanhphuc None of the issues you link to relate to the bbPress v2.x plugin, these are all old vulnerabilities for the bbPress v1.x standalone version of bbPress, these have all been patched in the bbPress v1.2 branch.
Sorry, I found my own answer under this thread: .
This thread can be closed, I won’t mind.
We just finished migrating a client’s site to use bbPress, and hit our first snag. Thread/topic subscription appears to work correctly. But subscribing to a forum does not result in any notification emails.
I’d post a link to the site, but all forums are marked as private because it’s being used as part of an intranet.
Versions:
WordPress 3.6.1
bbPress 2.5.4
I can list the other plugins if someone suspects a conflict, but it’s a fairly long list.
ok lets start by seeing if this is a plugin or theme 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.
