I posted about this issue that I had a couple of weeks ago without any resolution. So I thought I would start at the beginning. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress (3.8.1) with the default themes on a newly created directory. Second I installed BBpress (2.5.3) and kept all the default settings. Upon completion I added the BBpress login widget and tested the login function. When I do this it hangs up on /wp-login.php page with nothing but a single period on the page.
Is anyone else having this same issue? I need help!!!!
‘I’m using the newest bbPress plugin as well as the updated version of WP 3.8.1. My site is novasev.com. You can see this issue by navigating to the Requests under Rainmeter forum and then the forum under NovaSev.com Administration.’
sorry couldn’t follow this as I can’t see how to get to the rainmeter forum from the menu.
Can you post two specific links and more detail on what is different in each

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

There is no real easy way to do this in bbPress 1.x and that is what you are using.
The latest version of bbPress is bbPress v2.5.3 that is a plugin for WordPress.
You should just delete the entire database and install WordPress then bbPress.
https://wordpress.org/download/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
If you want to enable the Visual Editor you should use the code from the codex:
Enable Visual Editor
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' );
Also make sure you have no other plugins causing a conflict.
It is a theme issue… Though I expect you knew that was coming 😉
You might be able to find some more info for ‘other’ bbPress Atahualpa issues via:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/search.php?searchid=749383
With all that said, I was terrified looking at this theme, it seems that it doesn’t use WordPress Template Hierarchy and overrides/creates it’s own templates and far too many options for my liking.
Create a new file named bbpress.php in your theme folder \wp-content\themes\atahualpa
Add the following code to the bbpress.php file and you should be good to go:
<?php
/**
* bbPress wrapper template.
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
bbPress uses WordPress’s user profiles code, so any new fields you add to the dashboard profile (with a plugin or otherwise) should be mirrored in the theme. If you need an easy GUI to create profile fields, try BuddyPress.
There are a bunch of examples on how to do this with WordPress. Follow those instructions and you should be fine.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
To get the required numerical ID for $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id and $tag_id you will need to visit your /wp-admin/ section and either by editing the post or by hovering your mouse over the applicable forum/topic/reply/tag post type you will see a numeric ID for that post eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=47
Ok… I think I follow now, take a look at the following thread, it is a good example of customizing the bbPress templates to have the forum layout like a phpBB or vBulletin format.
I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel
So I’m having a few issues here trying to customize stuff – specifically the font sizes through out the bbPress pages.
I’ve been using EM as a standard and it’s always worked well. I’ll give you a very specific example.
I’m trying to change .bbp-topic-permalink font size, but every time I get it the right size it’s bigger or smaller on another page. So the permalink on one forum subject will be small – I’ll increase it to the desired size and then on another forum it’s huge….not seeing how this happens but it’s happening to a lot of items and it’s horridly frustrating.

Hello, I’m having some tests in a site named ffffind.com
Now the only problem is, it looks like someone has breached into my wordpress account and posted 20K+ posts and topics inside the bbpress extension.
ffffind.com/forum/ is where the problem is at.
I am running the latest WP release as well as the latest BBpress release.
How do i delete all of the posts in one hit and renew all of the bbpress content?
No, bbpress looks for the following files in this order for its page template
plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php
generic.php
page.php
single.php
index.php
so as long as you have a bbpress.php it will look no further
Is there a way to filter search results for non-logged-on users of the website so their results don’t display the contents of private forums which then go to a redirect loop when we try to follow the links?
An example from our testing site:
http://www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk/tim_play/?s=fisticuffs
The search results don’t include topics that have individually been made ‘private’ but I can’t find a way to set this to default for topics within a private forum – I can batch edit them afterwards but it would be good if, failing a solution to the search problem, this could happen automatically.
We’re running WordPress 3.8.1 and BBPress 2.5.3 (as part of a Commons In A Box setup) on an entirely custom theme.
If there’s any more information I need to provide, please let me know – thank you.
edit: glaring typo
Yeah I did. It’s been so long though I’m trying to remember what I had to do. I know that I ended up not using the BBPress login widget and instead went with the “WP Login Box” widget. I had to do some configuring on the settings I think but was able to set the whole thing up to where users were only able to login to their BBPress account and not have backdoor access to the wordpress site itself.
I think it had something to do with wordpress making an update where they screwed up default cookie configurations. I went looking in my wp-config file and found that I put this there. Truth is I can’t remember if this was for the same problem or something else, it’s been a while since I was last working in wordpress. Try putting this in your wp-config.php file after your last set of “defines” near the top. Hope that helps.

define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);

Hi. When I use the BBpress Forum List widget on my right sidebar, it only shows everything in one column.
I would like to have the list in hierarchy format. Like this:
Main Forum
(Indent)Sub Forum
(Indent)Sub Forum
(Indent)(Indent)Sub Forum
But it’s doing this instead which I do not want:
Main Forum
Sub Forum
Sub Forum
Sub Forum
Please see our website at CryptoSteam.com and look at the right sidebar to get an idea of what I’m trying to accomplish. You can see that its all in one column when the majority should be under “Cryptocurrency General Discussion”
How do I fix that where it shows in hierarchy format instead of one column? Thank you for any help on this matter.
Think this needs someone who is very familiar with both the theme and bbpress !
Have you tried their official support forum

Hi,
I use bbPress forum as group BuddyPress
I would like to have an excerpt from a post (new topic or reply) to the group’s activity corresponding
Can someone give me a function to make this good idea?
thank you
Thank you Stephen,
I got the page to work now with the shortcodes, BUT the shortcodes don’t seem to be displaying what the description says they should be displaying. Backup first…. Here is what we am trying to do with BBPress: We are trying to create forums under specific categories. Sounds easy. We placed all forums under specific categories but this wasn’t quite displaying as we needed them to all on one page. We need them to display like this forum here: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/
SO back to the shortcode problem. We cant get any of these forums to display a single forum. The shortcodes are displaying ALL forums no matter if we use single forums shortcodes or not.
Shouldnt the below shortcodes display these five forum ids only and not ALL forums five times just with a reply form for the associated ID at the bottom?
[bbp-single-forum id=239]
[bbp-single-forum id=238]
[bbp-single-forum id=237]
[bbp-single-forum id=236]
[bbp-single-forum id=235]
Basically we are trying to split up these forums manually with the shortcodes just by displaying what forums we want (and we could separate them with a text box showing the category or something). So the question is, “What is the shortcode for only displaying one forum without a reply form”. This way we can input all forums and organize them how we wish. Make sense? Please help. 🙂

Hi All,
I request you to please give feedback of my website http://www.hrden.com. I have also added a bbpress forum which could be accessed.
Thanks,
Ejaz
I’m presuming the one for your wordpress site is the one on the top right that is in the toolbar? Wasn’t clear from your website as obviously I’m not logged in !
If so, I just turn this off, it never fits with a theme anyway, and now you have a profile in bbPress you don’t need it anymore. So maybe just use the bbPress one, you can call it from menu’s and widgets, so it can be site-wide.
