Ha! This is kind of cool I reckon 🙂 http://theguiltymommy.com/mommy-forums/
Your themes CSS loads after bbPress’ so adding the equiv from bbPress CSS to your thtmes CSS should do the trick:
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #fff;
}
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #fbfbfb;
}
This is not currently available to do in bbPress ‘out of the box’ there are various plugins that will allow you to do this though. S2Member, Members, Restrict Content Pro.
Plugins
We do plan on including this ”out of the box’ in a future version though. 🙂
Keymaster -> Forum Capabilities
publish_forums
edit_forums
edit_others_forums
delete_forums
delete_others_forums
Moderator -> Forum Capabilities
publish_forums
edit_forums
read_private_forums
read_hidden_forums
What this allows for is the ‘keymaster’ has control of all the forums.
A ‘moderator’ can create forums and edit their own forums created but not edit any other forums created by other moderators or keymasters.
Probably the main issue you are seeing is ‘how to’ actually do this in the front end and we can (and will) implement this a little better in a future version of bbPress.
To edit a forum from the front end simply add /edit to the end of the URL for example if you have a forum named test-forum this will take you to the edit forum form /forum/test-forum/edit/
To add a new forum add the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode to a page that moderator can access or add a function like this one to hook the forum form onto a moderators user profile page.

Hello, I want to know if bbpress has a chat option integrated or what plugin you recommend to install inside my forum site. But not like a chatbox in the corner of the website footer… I need it like an option inside my bbpress forum, a private and integrated chat. I want to enable the option of interacting beetween the users of the forum. It is possible to do? Thanks
On my site, each post has a different background (darker shades of pink) and therefore a different font color to work with the background color. With the posts this works great, but in my bbpress forums, the background color changes but the color of the font takes the color only of the first post. The theme I used was Twentythirteen and then the child theme was a modified version of 2013 blue sequence. What am I doing wrong? I am slowly learning about CSS but have little knowledge this far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My page is http://www.theguiltymommy.com
Eventually I would love to change font size and style but I need to get it readable first. 🙂
I’ve been struggling with duplicate titles ever since moving over to bbPress.
I’m using the Yoast plugin and right now I’m getting about ~1,800 duplicate titles and they are all coming from the way bbPress creates single replies.
For instance, these two pages are producing duplicate titles:
http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/operation-auctus-10/
and
http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/operation-auctus-12/
Is there anyway I can just disable the way that the forums create a single page for each reply? Or, is there a way to add a unique identifier to the titles? I’ve got page numbers working on forum topics that go multiple pages, but I can’t get the titles to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

make custom post/page template without sidebar, name it bbpress.php and place into your themes root
thats what I did http://batman.scifi-guide.net/forums
I can confirm that I have the same issue as well. If the threaded replies is enabled, I have posts that display out of date order. If I turn off threaded replies, then they display in the correct order. Has the bbPress team confirmed that this is a known bug they are working to solve?
Which tends to suggest that you are having the issue rather than that the codex doesn’t work !
css is loaded at various times, and changes can be overwritten by later loads.
Try putting ‘!important’ after a few to see if that helps, if so then apply to all. This tells the code not to apply later changes.
eg
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: #eaeaea !important;
}
Hello,
I am using a page called forums and the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] but the sidebars do not appearance.
I have located the page_sidebar.php and copy in the theme directory as bbpress.php.
How can I to select the page sidebar? Actually the space to sidebars is reserved but the sidebars do not appears. Click in any discussion to check it out.

Thanks in advance
This is not a bbPress issue, bbPress only uses the standard WordPress avatars.
Check out the FAQ and/or support forum for the plugin you are using that let’s users upload their own avatar.
The WordPress language pack for zh_CH includes the following code:
https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/zh_CN/tags/3.8.1/dist/wp-content/languages/zh_CN.php#L84
83 /**
84 * Youku wp_embed handler

89 * Feel free to submit or correct URL formats here:

92 * @since 3.4.0
93 */
94 function wp_embed_handler_youku( $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr ) {
95 $embed = sprintf(
96 '<embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/%1$s/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>',
97 esc_attr( $matches['video_id'] ) );
98
99 return apply_filters( 'embed_youku', $embed, $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr );
100 }
101 wp_embed_register_handler( 'youku',
102 '#https?://v\.youku\.com/v_show/id_(?<video_id>[a-z0-9_=\-]+)#i',
103 'wp_embed_handler_youku' );
So as you should be able to have this in WordPress posts and pages etc that ‘should’ flow on down to bbPress to allow you to use youku 🙂
Hi 🙂
bbPress follows WordPress list here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
Oh…. Look… You should be able to 🙂
Are you running WordPress with define('WPLANG', 'zh_CH'); in your wp-config.php?
WordPress can only have one page titled page_name and use the slug page_name thus this then extends to bbPress.
I thought we had a bbPress ticket for this on Trac but I can’t find it right now https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
Probably you should use http://chamabox.co.ke/forums/feed and http://chamabox.co.ke/topics/feed, any bbPress page, section, forum topic, just add /feed to the end of the URL and you should be good to go.
That said, I see the feeds are broken, it looks like either the ‘wdsi-slide_in’ or ‘mailchimp’ plugins are injecting content into bbPress’ RSS feeds. What happens with these plugins disabled?
There are a few bbPress signature plugins, maybe one of these will do what you are looking for
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=signature+bbpress
It shouldn’t have done that 🙁
I’d suggest going to ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ and resetting your forums which will delete all forums, topics and replies and optionally imported users and have another go at it.
You would probably be best setting up a test install of WordPress and bbPress to make sure the import finishes successfully.
If you find it keeps doing this please create a support ticket in Trac and I’ll take a look at why it isn’t working. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Here is another way to do custom profile fields:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/user_contactmethods
bbPress will display any of of these fields you add or remove for a users profile page, as many of few as you like.
If when you decide to come back to this you’ll want to use the_excerpt
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
There are varios examples scattered throught this site also
https://bbpress.org/forums/search/the_excerpt/
There are a couple of weird things happen with bbPress and setting them to ‘private’ from the backend, we just haven’t tested it thoroughly enough.
There is a ticket on Trac somewhere, can’t find it at the moment though 🙁 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
There is also a plugin that gives each user their own forum that no other users can see, I am not sure if moderators have access to this forum or just the user and the keymaster.
The name of that plugin? I have no idea, I can’t remember the name of it, what I do remember is that this feature has nothing to do with the name of the plugin nor is the feature even included in the description. It is an idea not fully implemented and approx 75% of the code is just sitting in the background doing nothing. So if I remember what it is I’ll come back and update this. 😉
Thanks for sharing your code and and yes some more docs on this would be great.
Anyone can add docs to the bbPress codex https://codex.bbpress.org/
You just need to login with the same username and password you use here on bbpress.org
https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-login.php
Have a look at the current pages and or create a new page
https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
This cannot be achieved at this stage with bbPress, the only option is to ‘Opt-In’ and there is no availability to have the defaults the other way around.
Is there any chance of this being changed at some time? Perhaps as a config option? Being subscribed by default is the most requested feature by users on my forum.
Not a buddypress expert, but suggest you try with all plugins except bbpress and BP deactivated. If that fixes, re-enable one at a time to find the problem.
If plugins doesn’t fix, switch to a default forum such as twentytwelve, and test again.
Come back and let us know if any of that helped.
