Update to bbPress 2.5.4 that was just released and then run each of the bbPress repair tools
Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums
(Though it looks like you may have already done that now)
This is now fixed and resolved in bbPress 2.5.4, download the update and run the bbPress Repair Tool “Recalculate the reply position of replies” and that should fix the issue.
I’m really not sure what else I can suggest, my recommendation still stands to upgrade WordPrress and bbPress to the latest versions.
The only other suggestion that ‘may’ work when using bbPress 2.5.4 without the Thesis Theme compat is to add a bbPress wrapper template in your theme directory that may stop issue 2 from occurring.
Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it
<?php
/**
* bbPress wrapper template.
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
bbPress and BuddyPress include the pagination at the top and bottom by default.
Your custom theme appears to not do that, most likely the template you need to edit is either content-single-topic.php or content-single-topic-lead.php and look for something similar to:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
And change that to:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
If your not comfortable doing that then contact the theme author for details.
I’d suggest using a plugin rather than reCaptcha directly
There are a few various anti-spam, anti-bot, captcha type plugins available that work with bbPress in WordPress plugin repo https://wordpress.org/plugins/
e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
bbPress 2.5.4 is out. It fixes 5 bugs, the last of which is a security concern for all previous bbPress 2.x installations.
The following bugs have been fixed in 2.5.4:
#2586 – Fix ‘Replies in each forum’ repair tool, to prevent breaking the reply position.
#2496 – Support slashes in slug settings, and improve sanitization of these fields.
#2518 – Improve handling of SSL assets when relying on theme compatibility.
#2588 – Fix bug when editing a reply that would pollute hierarchical replies in that topic.
#2610 – Properly handle escaping of displayed user fields and data when editing a user.

Excuse me – didn’t occur to me that “visual editor” was referring to TinyMCE. I do not have TinyMCE running on my bbPress, just a regular editor like the one in this forum.
Hello BBPress Team,
WP version 3.9.1 BBP Version 2.5.3
On our website http://www.starroyaltyent.com/forum-index/ we have over 100 spam bots that come and register because don’t have a reCAPTCHA on the forum registration.
I am trying to figure out how to install the reCAPTCHA on the bbp forum when users register:
http://www.starroyaltyent.com/forum-index/
Any answer here would be greatly appreciated. Losing my mind with all these bots.
Thank you for your time.
Alright, did not bump any topic > 12 months, and will not do so.
So here’s where I’m at: Figured out a fresh bbPress install from 2.1 and above has issue 1 resolved for me.
But with bbPress 2.4.1, the version I’m running, I still needed the most updated bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack to fix issue 2. Unfortunately, the bbPress compatibility pack only goes up to 1.2.4 (what I’m now running), and was only actively being updated until bbPress 2.1 or so.
I tried running a clean bbPress 2.5.3 (no compatibility pack), and issue 2 occurs. Adding the compatibility pack breaks 2.5.3 completely (and I’ve not invested time looking into code).
What’s happening now is that issue 1 (HTML for editor inside editor when editing topics) is now occurring when I try to edit replies. So I’m still having issues with the visual editor.
What puzzles me is that in the Thesis forums, some other users talked about having troubles with their visual editor as well, even with the latest (1.2.4) compatibility pack. But supposedly, someone found a fix and crossposted it in this topic and in the Thesis forums. In the Thesis forums, he claims that this fix is implemented since bbPress 2.2, but I’m running 2.4 and still having issues with the editor?
The code fix in the above link also does not work for me, since in 2.4.1, bbp_replace_the_content is no longer a method that exists in theme-compat.php. Considering that the symptoms of my current issue seems to be the same as original issue #1, I would think the fix would have something to do with a similar problem where a function is being called twice, but have no idea where to begin looking. Any ideas?
Can you please create a ticket in bbPress’ Trac and we can take a closer look at this.

If you have a link to the discussion you had with Royal Slider please also include that, thanks.
I had looking for quick-start of wordpress + bbpress .
Anyone please share link for me.
Thankyou
I just downloaded the Spacious theme… Oh wait… Not related. If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.
I am having the same issue all over my forums. We are using the latest versions of bbpress and BuddyPress.
bbPress 2.5.3
Buddypress 2.0.1

ok, have you tried either of the options in the following
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
It’s widgets from Woocommerce that are showing. I was wanting the BBPress widgets for registering, searching and the forum list to appear.
I wanted to learn about deleting the plugin with all its settings. If you read my previous comment, you’d read about when I reset … but appearently it didn’t reset everything
I created a new bbpress forum inside the main site(gamesap.az) and it worked perfect but still, can’t see the difference in settings
The culprit is found 🙂
It’s PMPro search settings under Memberships/Advanced Settings that has a bug, here’s the thread where it’s explained:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-topics-is-hidden?replies=12#post-5636096
“the bug here is probably one that we’ve discovered in our “search filter”. The quick fix is to set the search filter to “No” on the advanced settings page (which is probably what happened when you reinstalled).
You can also change the “show excerpts” setting to “Yes” and it will show your topics again.”
Sorry but you only asked how to reset bbPress 1 day 3 hours ago as I write this :/
I’d suggest setting up a test install and see if you still have the same issue, you can then compare the settings between both sites.
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
Thanks for the detailed info @jbroskos, I agree things look correct there, but obviously are not working as expected.
If you do find the issue later on down the road let us know with some detailed reproduction steps and we can fix the issue once we can reproduce it https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ 🙂
Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.
I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.
I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉
You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.
Unfortunately, whether we should upgrade or not is not my call to make. At the advice of another developer, my project manager has decided that we will not be updating WordPress. At the advice of yet another developer, I have been warned not to update bbPress either. Sorry. I’m just a measly intern developer with no say. 🙁
I was speaking with one of the aforementioned developers today, and he suggested that it the ‘edit’ issue (as far as the HTML in the editor goes) might have to do with Thesis. I’m going to look further into bbPress-thesis compatibility issues, but would you happen to know anything offhand about that? I do have the bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack plugin installed.
As for s2member, I have tried various combinations of role settings, but the issue still remains that a member has to either have highest level (admin) role in s2member or moderator or higher role in bbPress in order to view topics. All replies are visible to all roles, s2member and bbPress. I realize I might be starting to get out of scope of this forum, but there is a full post here that describes the roles as they interact between s2member and bbpress. Is the only way for me to work with bbPress and s2member to customize the roles? I’d hope for a simpler workaround if possible…
I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.
All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?
Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)
Interesting that without the private groups it didn’t work as expected, and with the private groups it also doesn’t work as expected.
Maybe be worth investigating the theme and other plugins to see if they are causing an issue.
so with private groups deactivated
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.
So I finally got the bbp-private-groups plug-in to work. I ended up having to make all the forums “public” and now (based of the bbp-private-group permissions) everything is working and those that don’t have access are being redirected to a different page.
I’m hoping this is just a band-aid and that I can get the core bbpress permissions to work again, so any assistance is still appreciated.
Thank you
