I’d like to get rid of the “Leave a Reply” that appears on the bottom of the page that lists all my forums. i edited the page and unchecked “Comments” and “Discussions” – but it still shows up. ?

WordPress 2.3.9.1
bbpress 1.9.2
i’m using the twenty fourteen theme
thanks!
.bbpress .post-image { display:none; }
This will hide that post-image on bbpress pages.
Hello, new to bbPress.
Made a forum, you can see it on http://dehelmondsemusical.nl/index.php/forums/
How do I get rid of that image with the curtains? I don’t want an image to show up here 🙂
Thanks,
Perry Vermeulen
I added this new Voting feature as part of the old GetShopped Support Forum plugin.
It was the quickest way I could get a support forum (resolved/unresolved) plus topic voting working together.
Here is the comment I made on the WordPress plugin repo site:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-added-bbpress-voting-and-fixed-some-bugs-version-303?replies=1
Code is available on github. It’s not polished enough to be a standalone plugin just yet.
I have added a few new things:
1) topic voting
2) sidebar registration widget
3) copied the ‘resolved’ dropdown to near the submit button, so you can easily mark a topic as resolved while you are replying to it (much quicker!)
4) fixed a couple of potential bugs around permissions (ie: anyone could mark a thread resolved or assign a thread to someone etc..)
You can grab the code (and see the changes) from here: https://github.com/dtbaker/bbPress-Support-Forums
The voting and sidebar registration features can be seen in the demo here: http://ultimateclientmanager.com/forums/forum/feature-requests/
(I have modified some of the div tags/classes in this plugin to better support bootstrap, so it might look a bit funky on the standard bbPress install)
Cheers,
Dave

Hello, is it possible to make a section of my forums so that when someone posts a topic, the only people that can read and post back to that comment would be the admins/mods and the topic creator, but no one else has perm to read or write to that topic?
elegant – depends !
If you simply alter this file then on any bbpress version update you’ll lose the changes, so make a note of them.
There are alternatives
1. Add the css styling change to the style.css file within your child theme.
If you have a child theme, then this is ideal, as neither plugin nor theme update will affect your change. Simply add the code below to your style.css
/*Styling for forum description */
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content {
clear:both !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
padding: 0 0 0 0 !important;
}
2. If you only have a main theme, then consider using a child theme – it’s quick and easy to create one, basically it’s just a theme that you create that says “use this main theme, but then add these bits”. Google child theme video and you’ll get loads of help.
3. Add this to the style.css in your main theme
But you’ll need to keep a note of it for theme upgrades, so this is really no better than changing in the bbPress template, and neater to do it in bbPress than your theme
4. Make a directory called css in your theme (either child or main) and copy the bbpress.css file into it. Then make changes there. this then won’t be overwritten on upgrades, but you will not get the benefit of changes to the default bbpress.css that may be in upgrades.
Overall 1. is by far the best choice, as you keep the code no matter what happens. Otherwise keep a note of your changes (which are fine, and are what I did to test prior to putting the end result in my style.css), so that you can replicate them on upgrades.
i’m not a developer by any means, but this seems to work (there’s probably a better way 🙂
in my bbpress.css file here “wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\css”
i just broke out “div.bbp-forum-content” from this:
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}
to this:
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content {
margin-left: 0px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}
and set that left margin to 0 px rather than 130.
let me know if there’s a better or more elegant way!
Hi Robin,
Sorry for the long delay. I got sided-tracked. I followed your advice and I found something like a 404.php. The page is called no-results.php I found the text that I need to edit on the page and made changes to it however, because the text is displayed with the use of php, I’m not sure how to make it recognize the html hypertext link I added. Is it possible to make a link active within this code? It would be convenient to just click on the text and get where you need to go, if that’s possible. Here’s the code that I’m referring to:
<p><?php esc_html_e('The page you requested could not be found or could not be displayed. If you are a parishioner and you are trying to access a forum page, it may be that you <a href="http://www.url-here/">need to log in</a>. You can do so on the forum page in the right sidebar. Otherwise, try refining your search, or use the navigation above to locate the post.','Chameleon'); ?></p>
I can remove the anchor tag if I need to but it would be nice to have the link.
On another, related note, when you go to the top level forum page, if you aren’t logged in it displays text that says “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” I’m pretty sure this text is coming from the bbPress plug-in. Do you know if there is a way to customize what it says here as well?
Thanks again for all your help!
Hi,
Stupid question but where should I go to change/update to allow bbpress to allow the cite tag?
Thanks, I’ve slightly amended it to get it to display on all pages and added it to the documentation
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Thanks again for posting your solution !
I’ve just added the code I think you’re after to the documentation viz
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Come back if that’s not what either of you were after !
I have done a little more investigation (with a slightly different configuration). I created a new “test” topic as one user. I logged out and logged in as a different user and attempted to respond to the test topic and I received the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_add_notification() in /nas/wp/www/staging/cbblogers/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php on line 124
My configuration was:
bbPress v2.5.3
buddyPress v1.8.1
Wordpress v3.8.1

Thanks much,
bbPress notifications of the type “bbp_new_reply” are showing up as blank in Buddypress. (I have also posted a ticket in the buddyPress forum about this issue: http://buddypress.org/support/topic/notification-still-not-being-displayed/)
As of today, my user notification page contains 43 “blank” notifications.
1 – When I mouse over the notification circle in the header of the page, the list of notifications is displayed as blank, even when I have notifications pending. Screenshot: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gvkfWwp6rSg/Uu5iQpXEayI/AAAAAAAAM-0/tA7ok02oXC4/w958-h337-no/buddypress+blank+notification+list.jpg
2 – When I click on the notification circle, I am taken to the list of current notifications, but the title of the notifications in each row is blank. Screenshot: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OqKLmC4t_-c/UyWU-1tw42I/AAAAAAAANfc/MgSf8atB4mw/w958-h592-no/notifications+screenshot.jpg
Here are a couple of rows from the notifications database table:

Please help….
Thanks much,

@angeliti – suggest you contact the plugin site – they claim to be bbpress compatible.

‘Could you please tell me the same as above check box for the bbpress registration form.’
I Haven’t used gravity forms myself, but if you are using the bbpress login widget , then you should be able to add a page called say “register” and then call the gravity form from within that, and add that url to the widget.
@1lizcollins
Don’t know why it happened. try Dashoboard>tools>forums.reapir forums and run one at a time to see of this fixes your links.
It could also be worth checkint that you haven’t got a plugin or theme issue, although neither would cause a plugin to disappear.
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
@adenslayer
This seems to be a known issue with this plugin viz :
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpsc-support-tickets-bbpress-conflict?replies=1
I see you’ve also posted to the plugin site, so hopefully the plugin author will come back to you.
I spoke with someone who suggested using bbPress since it’s a custom post type and writing a custom WP_QUERY.
I have this same issue. Turns out once I disable wpsc Support Tickets, BBPress returns.. Any idea how I can fix this issue?
Step 6 of the instructions reads:
That is, go to wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten.
There is no bbp-themes.
What do I do?
Hello!
I’m hitting exactly the same issue that @mralexweber describes on this post:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-post-not-showing/
I’m using OptimizePress plugin to protect my content, and looks like that plugin is causing the issue. Although I’ve contacted their support team, I need a temporary solution ASAP because this is blocking me from releasing my product :S
I’ve noticed that the OptimizePress documentation says this:
Attn Developers: Filters can be suppressed dynamically, using this technique:
query_posts(“suppress_filters=true”);
get_posts() auto-suppresses filters.
So I was thinking that maybe I could somehow use bp-custom.php and this technique to solve the issue… The problem is I don’t know how to do it 🙂
Anyone has any ideas??
Thanks SOOOOO much!!!
Could you please tell me the same as above check box for the bbpress registration form.
As you can see at the bottom of the screenshot I am missing the checkbox. The text ist standing there:
Hi there,
Several days ago BBPress disappeared from my WP site (I was running current versions of WP & BBpresss). The links in the dashboard were gone, and it looked af if the plugin itself had been deleted (no files when I looked via ftp, no plugin visible, etc). I reinstalled it today, and many but not all of my topics reappeared in the admin panel, but only 2 are visible on the front end of the forum. So weird! Can anyone help me solve this? I’m at a loss…
Bump – because this is the first Google Search result on bbPress slowing down sites.
Everything I read about bbPress said it’s light weight and integrates well into WordPress. Integration was excellent, but the website speed suffered significantly. I finally had to uninstall it and will need to look for a lighter weight forum plugin.
Click here to see a screen shot of the P3 Plug-in profiler results.
bbPress was responsible for half the load time of all active plugins (bbPress was a fresh install – with no forum activity). I had 24 plugins running total which means bbPress was taking longer to load than 23 other plugins combined. With results like that, there has to be a way to make bbPress more efficient either through caching or making bbPress more efficient when it searches for its short codes (which I believe is why bbPress loads on every page).
I’ve seen this concern on a few forums and really want to see bbPress be successful. If anyone has had success speeding up bbPress or believes my experience was an anomaly, please let us know. Thank you.
Website – WordPress 3.8.1 Multisite, BuddyPress 1.9.2., bbPress 2.5.3
This has just been fixed by the WP-E-Commerce team
https://github.com/wp-e-commerce/WP-e-Commerce/commit/824f56a36ad18fcfed3419ee4430f52a602cae52
It is part of the Version 3.8.14-dev version so presumably once v3.8.14 is released it will include the bbPress fix 🙂
