About a month ago I updated to 2.5.3 and at the same time I updated another plugin that integrates with bbPress. A few weeks later I’m having some issues with the other plugin and I’m trying to nail down which plugin is causing the problem but I can’t find where to download older version of bbPress so I can roll back and see if the problem is still there. Any idea where I can download previous release versions? The download page only has the latest and some pre 2.x versions.
A couple things I need help with. Is there a way to move the BBpress forum to the right on the page? The box fields are overlapping one of the widgets on my side menu. The other thing I need to change the color of the box fields. Which php file would I modify? I have WordPress vs. 3.8.1 and bbpress 2.5.3.
Sorry, this feature is not available in bbPress at this stage, also this is the first time I have ever heard anyone ask for such a feature.
This I would say is an issue for your web hosting provider and has nothing to do with bbPress or WordPress.
Contact them about upgrading your plan for greater database queries per hour and/or bandwidth.
I’d suggest you contact the plugin author on their support page

Hey there,
I have a Installation with bbpress and buddypress.
For different Groups in Buddypress I wanted to make Group forums. So I created a Group “Group1”.
I also created a “forum group” for Group 1. I also made some more forums with “Group 1” Forum Group as parent.
I THOUGHT now, that all members ans ONLY those members of Group 1 would have access to “Group 1” Forum Group with all the Forums benath that one.
But thats not working that way, right? All registered member can see the “childforums” of Group 1. Red them and post there. Thats not what I intended to do. When I make the childforums to “private” even the Groupmembers cannot see them.
That´s how it is.
Woul perhaps someone give me a hint, where my mind is wrong with that?
Its really urgent.
Tahks in advance.

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab is the stuff 🙂
Whilst much of this link is blanked out, it does seem to indicate a problem with conflicting page templates.
http://www.experthelp.com/question/74882/i-have-installed-two-plugins-shopp-and-bbpress-a-shop-and-a-forum-the-start-page-of-each-plugin-is-showing-up-blank-on-my-wordpress-site-how-do-i-fix-it
What I’d suggest you do is create a page template for your bbpress so that it only uses that one, leaving shop to use whatever template it is using.
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ part 8
You don’t say what theme you are using – and in fact it could be the theme’s page template that is causing the issue.
But let’s suggest for a starter that you look in your theme, and copy then rename it’s default page template as per part 8 above.
If you need further help doing that, or it doesn’t work, come back
Drop the following into your theme’s css
#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {color: #000 !important;}
Come back if you need further help doing that.
Hello.
For example if I have 100 user with 50 active user each month, how much database and disk size I need to setup bbpress?
Hi e11eca,
You can access both your WooCommerce and bbPress through a single account. So any registered user would not have to create different accounts for the forum and the shop.
Here is a blog post on the integration on WooCommerce and bbPress to create a paid forum.
bbPress WooCommerce Integration: Tutorial on How to setup a Paid Forum on WordPress
This i’m sure will give you in depth information on what you want.
There are several plugins eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
The bbpress philosophy is “We’re keeping things as small and light as possible while still allowing for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system. What does all that mean? bbPress is lean, mean, and ready to take on any job you throw at it.”
So it’s not in the core because you then have the option of adding a plugin.
not quite sure what you mean, but have a look at
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
and if you still have a problem, come back
ok, since you have a paid theme, you should have paid support.
Contact the theme support site for advice.
In essence I think you want to display the forum with a sidebar on your theme, and just need to know what page template you need to use.
The as per Section 8 above copy and put this into a bbpress folder.
Come back if the theme support has queries, but they should be familiar with bbpress.
Hello,
today I created a new WordPress site and installed bbpress, but I have the problem that the toolbar over the textarea is not available. My website is: plusthemes.de/support
Does anyone know if there is a way for my forum posters to upload images from their computer? I’ve heard there are some plugins for this, but does anyone know if they are safe? I’m guessing there might be security issues otherwise BBPress would offer this?
Thanks,
K
You would paste that code into your theme’s function file.
If you do not have a child theme you should consider creating one, just google “wordpress child theme video” and you’ll find lots of help. You’d then put this code into that theme’s function file.
If you put it in the main theme (or indeed bbpress) it will be overwriten by any upgrades to those.
I have been adding to the documentation with a much longer step-by-step guide, much more still to add !

If you find the page template from the theme that has a sidebar, just follow then instructions above to rename it to bbpress.php and put it in the right directory
Hello everyone,
I am new to bbpress. I am trying to make a forum on this website. I uploaded the page templates that came with bbpress onto the server and am using it on the Discussion page, where my forum index is and as you can tell it is running over the sidebar. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I know there is a solution to add a code snippet to turn visual text editor on from https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/
But do I paste that in the bbpress function.php file?
the bbpress forum that I installed has no basic text editor, just a blank box.

Does anyone else have the same issue?
