What the image shows is already using Bob1nz’s provided code. Bob1nz’s seems to not correct the issue like Lynq’s does. I am aware that Lynq has made some code available on github but I don’t know what to modify to get those to go away. I have worked my way to getting everything else the way I want it, this is just the last piece.
@Matoca it sounds like you’re still using tinyMCE? Do you have something like this in your functions file –
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
(from https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ )
I might be confused (if we had signatures and I used signatures on forums mine would be “I might be confused”) but I wouldn’t think you’d have a text / visual tab on the non-tinyMCE editor, would you?
If it were me, I’d also try disabling “Post Formatting” in Settings -> Forums in the admin area. I have no clue whatsoever if that would work though, it’s just something I’d try.
I’m really interested to see what works! My guess is that something will end up working but we’ll never quite know what did it.
Hi,
today just moved my site to another hosting service provider.
before moving to another hosting service provider, my bbpress forum was working perfectly,
now its not showing properly…i thinks its theme problem
see link
http://bit.ly/1jU6CK0
please give me a solution……
I thought it did – are you using the default bbpress template? There is every chance I’m confused.
Are you using a custom bbpress template in your theme? You will need to edit some files in there if so. I don’t think there’s another way, although you might look to see if there’s a plugin that does it.
Hi – I think this is being / was discussed on trac a while ago. I have a solution I use there but it is specific to my needs and is one of those pieced-together-on-the-fly things. You might find Bob1nz’s files in the last post on the thread more helpful.
Sorry if I’ve completely misunderstood, but hope that helps some.
You plugin authors may need to make some changes.
Suggest you post onto the plugin support are viz:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools
I have two WordPress open sites. I have installed BuddyPress and bbpress on site two.
Site #1 sends participants to site #2 to join the forum. All partisipants are graduates of a training course. Upon completion of course they receive the invitation to the forum and a password.
Site #2- http://biblicalspiritualwarfare.org/
I set this scheme up on the advise of a blogger.
Does any one have any idea how to translate this situation into a private forum. There are hundreds of participants and I am trying to NOT manually register each on my end.
I would be very grateful for your advise.

Seems to have some issues with some plugin since the upgrade to wp 3.9 especially on the GD bbPress Tools – where user can ‘quote’ the topic when replying. Previously when click on ‘quote’ it will quote the topic, but this time it doesn’t do anything 🙂
Anyone else experience this? any fix? Thanks

The image shows “The Pub”, “Introductions & Farewells”, and “Suggestions & Ideas”. These are all part of the category “General Discussion”. What I want to do is remove the part that is crossed out in red in the image as it is unnecessary.
Any help would be appreciated. I have been tinkering at “loop-forums.php” for a while now with no success. pastebin
My site has access blocked to guests so if you want a temp account just say so and I will pm you info. I am using WordPress 3.8.3 and bbpress 2.5.3.
So I have been running bbpress for the past month now. Today I had some free time and decided to try and make it look more appealing. So I searched for wordpress bbpress plugins and suffusion bbpress pack come up. I installed, activated, and went to its settings. So in the settings was the following:
(RE)BUILD BBPRESS FILES
If you are starting out afresh with bbPress on Suffusion or Suffusion on bbPress, this is the first thing you should do. Since the default bbPress HTML markup is different from Suffusion’s markup, this step will help (re)create your templates. You should be using a child theme of Suffusion before you start using this theme. Otherwise if you update Suffusion from the WP themes repository you will lose all the bbPress-specific files.
Please note that all your template files will be written to /home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic.
So I clicked “rebuild bbpress files” and looked at the forum to see the changes. Once I looked at the forum I noticed that all it did was expand the forum layout horizontally and removed the (right) sidebar. I need the sidebar so removed the suffusion bbpress pack plug in and now there is no forum whatsoever. If I re install the suffusion plugin, the forum reappears.
I tried doing a full restore through my hosting company to no avail. If there is a way that I could backup all of the topics and forums. Re install bbpress, then import topics and forums…. unless there is an easier way.
Hey guys i installed bbpress now and want to display something in the header of my page. If the user isnt logged in i want to display “Register | Login”. If he is there should just displayed: “Hello, Username”. Does someone hava a solution? I think my php skills are enough for this but i dont know the variables or functions. I watched in the documentation but there a just a few functions displayed? Or did i watched on a false page?
after moving a post from one forum category to another, i noticed the category did not update in the main forum listing, only within the forum post itself.
also, when i tried deleting the forum post, it still shows up in the main forum listing even though the category itself is now empty
as you can see in the forum main listing, the post still shows up and in the original category (OCD) instead of the new category (הפרעות אכילה) even though it has been deleted:
http://cbtisrael.co.il/forums/
wordpress v3.9
buddypress v2.0
bbpress v2.5.3
Why hello there… I can now reproduce the issue 🙂
I have the cause of the issue identified and a patch 100% complete that prevents this from occurring in the future. 🙂
The cause is one of our repair tools “Count replies in each forum” 🙁
Immediate Workaround: Run the “Count replies in each topic” repair tool and DO NOT run the “Count replies in each forum” repair tool, it deletes data needed to calculate new replies displayed order.
NOTE: This will only prevent the issue from re-occurring, it will NOT fix existing replies affected.
We still need to create a repair tool to update existing replies that are affected by this issue. I have a rough outline of the tool though it isn’t quite right yet as it is not picking up all the possible permutations and combinations of how replies can be ordered with or without ‘threaded replies’ enabled.
It’s 1:15am here my local time and I’m beat thus I’m pulling the pin for the evening. 😉
Thanks for your all of your patience along the way, sorry it wasn’t sooner but until we could reproduce the issue coming up with a fix is really hard 😉
If you want further technical details you can look at ticket #2586 in trac.
Once I’ve had some Zzzzz’s I’ll update this post.
have you been through the step by step guides in
Codex
basically you’d need to cut some code to display the date/time, put it in a function that echo’s it, and then hook it to the following action
add_action (‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘your_function’) ;
see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4
sorry am up to my armpits in other code, or I’d cut it for you !
damned… this is not a solution for wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php …
So you have to edit 2 files:
1) wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
2) wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
normally it should work, i have tested and it’s working fine for me… maybe the newer version should be adapted with these new functions?
Do the same thing for:
edit function: bbp-reply-edit-link
in the file: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
on line 1922
// Get uri
// $uri = bbp_get_reply_edit_url( $r['id'] );
$uri = ( '?edit=1' );
I have found a solution for this problem:
edit function: bbp_get_topic_edit_url
in the file: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
search for: // Get uri (normal on line: 2507)
set $uri = bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $r[‘id’] );
as text like this: // $uri = bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $r[‘id’] );
then put this after: $uri = ( ‘?edit=1’ );
so you get this:
// Get uri
// $uri = bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $r[‘id’] );
$uri = ( ‘?edit=1’ );
save the php file and upload and overwrite the file on your site.
Hi,
I am using the latest WordPress (Twenty Fourteen theme) and bbPress.
There is a problem with my forums root page. Besides the regular forum listing section, all forums are also listed like posts below the regular section.

How can I fix it? Thanks
Hi Robin,
thanks for the reply.
I did try to create a bbpress.php with full-width template pasted into it. But it is not exactly what I had in mind. Content is not centered, and there are still post-like forum listings.
Like now: http://leopolds.com/discussions/
The only thing changed was the removal of the sidebar. Is it possible the problem is with the Twenty Fourteen theme and its page templates?
Please help.
which parts of the plugin do you want to re-write?
You will always be prompted for bbpress updates, so no code you write will be lost by mistake.
If it is templates that you want to alter, then copy only the ones you alter to
wp-content/your-theme/bbpress
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3
of it’s functions, then you should change these using filters see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5
The site is back up today and I tested it out. It did not work the way you wrote the code.
.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-topic DIV.sidebar.right {
display: none !important;
}
should be
.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress.single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress.single-topic DIV.sidebar.right {
display: none !important;
}
Just taking out the spaces between bbpress and single worked. The syntax was incorrect.
One other stupid question…at the bottom of the main page, which I guess now is called the archive page, there is the “read more” tag. How do I get rid of that? Doesn’t that have to do with the loop?
find your themes full width page template and then follow the instructions below to get bbpress to use it
