Really a wordpress not a bbPress question, and quite a techy area
This is the code that I use to add a location to user details, which should help get you started.
//this function adds the updated town and county info to the database
function bbp_edit_user_tc( $user_id ) {
$town = ( $_POST['town'] ) ;
$county = ($_POST['county'] ) ;
// Update town user meta
if ( !empty( $town ) )
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'town', $town);
// Delete town user meta
else
delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'town' );
//Update county user meta
if ( !empty( $county ) )
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'county', $county);
// Delete county user meta
else
delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'county' );
}
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'bbp_edit_user_tc' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'bbp_edit_user_tc' );
}
It would take a long time to go through what you would need to do – Basically it is all to do with styling and functions.
The basics are covered in the documentation in the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/ and some of the step by step stuff and layout will help you.
umm, Now I’m a bit confused.
The filter only affects the bbp breadcrumb, so that fact that your theme doesn’t have breadcrumbs is irrelevant.
If you just add that code to your themes functions, it will be used by bbPress as it loads and not display.
I presume that’s where you put the previous code to change to blogs? If not try that code again!
Whilst you can add it to a default theme such as twenty eleven, keep a note of it, as any theme upgrade will overwrite it. you should consider a child theme to let you make changes without affecting the core code and themes see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/ for some info on child themes
it seems to be a never ending story hahah 🙂 thanks a lot for helping me
there is no breadcrumb into this theme ‘twenty eleven’: no page and no posts has it, other than the page which contains bbpress shortcode…
I searched in bbpress editor, for the code you wrote, but I didn’t find it exactly
hmmm…my version works perfectly, one email per topic or reply.
bbPress uses WordPress to email, and the line in bbress notify is
`@wp_mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
`
Maybe that something within your wordpress/host setup is causing the issue (I suspect from yoru comments you already think this might be the case).
I’d suggest you do a test. in Dashboard>settings>discussion enable “email me whenever anyone posts a comment” and then post a comment to a blog (not bbPress). If you get more than one email, then it is not a bbPress problem, and try posting it to https://wordpress.org/support/ for help.
Well, it was kind of a disaster today. I set all the moderators to get the topics and replies. Suddenly everyone was getting multiple emails for one topic or reply. I had to change the settings back to just the owner (me) getting the notifications for the meanwhile until I can figure out why these emails are being duplicated.
The problem is that I can’t figure out what email address(s) bbPress uses to send these emails and how it obtains it/them. (I do understand that the plugin uses the User’s email addresses in Users as the addressee) We are getting emails from the standard Bluehost box but also emails from the team@ourblog.com address as well.
So my inbox filled up with 3 copies of each post and then all the moderators started emailing me to tell me that they were receiving multiple emails too.
I set up WordPress on Microsoft Azure cloud and installed bbPress. Users can add topics and type in posts/replies and the correct number of posts/replies are displayed but the actual post/reply text does not display when users click on the topic title. Take a look: http://testgene2.azurewebsites.net/?topic=which-16s-rrna-primers-to-use
Any help or ideas are appreciated. I pretty much went with the defaults on installation and settings.
Hi – I’m trying to do something really simple: I just want to export bbpress from one WP installation and import it to another. I see instructions for just about everything else, but not for this. Now, you may say “just use the WP export/import tool”. Problem is, I don’t want the entire site, only the forum, exported from one site and imported to another site (each of which has its own unique content).
Using the WP export tool I have to create separate exports for each piece: forums, topics, replies. Unfortunately when these are imported in the target site, they don’t connect. So the forums are there and the topics are there, but the forums don’t think they have any topics.
Does anyone have experience with this? Kind of weird that I can import from every conceivable forum except BBpress.
Thanks!
Thanks Stephen, I edited my previous post. It was only that I wrote bbpress-it-IT instead than bbpress-it_IT 🙂
I now need to see how I can customise the files as some words in Italian are just too long and I find it better to abbreviate them. This plug in is great ^_^ And I am sure I will be writing for help again… 😀
I think you need to name the files bbpress-it.mo and bbpress-it.po
Hi,
I just followed the instructions to set bbpress in Italian but no luck, the basic page I created is still showing the headers in English (e.g.: Topis, Posts, Freshness, weeks, and so on).
I copied the latest .mo and .po from the development section and renamed them bbpress-it-IT.mo and bbpress-it-IT.po. Copied them as per instruction in the proper location. Was there anything else I had to do? I appreciate your attention, thanks.

EDIT: found the mistake, sorry, as you can see from what I wrote I used a dash instead than an underscore 😀 Sorry for the waste of time!
Hi,
I currently have bbpress 2.5.3 installed on WP 3.8.1 and my biggest problem is that I don’t have the FORUM tab on my dashboard after fresh installation? I can’t find any settings for bbPress as well!! I’ve refreshed my browsers and empty all the catches, but no luck! Please help, big thanks for your soonest reply.
Hi guys,
I’m trying to tinker with my bbPress forum and the font sizes of the parent forums and sub forums. I found this code (#bbpress-forums li a) and entered it into my custom CSS field, but it affects both parent and sub forum titles. How do I target the parent forum titles and sub forum titles separately.
Thanks!
Functions in bbpress are held in the template-tag files
so for instance
bbp_reply_admin_links is held in bbpress/includes/replies/template-tags.php
bbp_topic_admin_links is held in bbpress/includes/topics/template-tags.php
bbp_list_forums is held in bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php
open these up and you’ll see what argumens they use, and how to filter – from your post I am presuming you know how to create filters.
I guess he means this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/yarpp-for-bbpress/
I’m not sure if I trust YARPP to be performant enough though.
you could try the following plugin that I use
bbpress notify
It lets you set who receives
once installed go to dashboard>settings>forums and you’ll see options.
These are set at WP-roles, so you would probably have your moderators as editors. If you a code person, I’m sure you could mod the plugin to look for bbpress moderators.
We just downloaded bbpress plugin, but somehow forum page and topic that we created is not showing up.
can you please check: http://forbixindia.com/fbx/forums/topic/forum-home-automation

Are the versions compatible?
If not what can I do? I cannot migrate to any higher version of wordpress for sure.
A quick reply would be really helpful.

Thanks for your reply Robin but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work.
For me the line with <?php bbp_list_forums()?> is line 44 and not 30.
I’m not completely sure I am doing it right, I change the following in the file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php – <?php bbp_list_forums()?> to
<?php bbp_list_forums(array (
'show_topic_count' => false,
'show_reply_count' => false,
'separator' => '',
));?>
Is that correct? I tried different endings as well, since the original line ends with just )?> I tried ending the new one also like that but all it gives me when I reload the forums is the following
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ in /home/virtual/mydomain.com/public_html/familjen/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 45
If <?php bbp_list_forums()?> is line 44 then line 45 has to be 'show_topic_count' => false,
I’m very confused here!
WAIT A MINUTE NOW! It was just me not realizing the => represents => but => turned to => when I copied it into this post so now it works. Many thanks!
I have a WP installation with bbPress installed. I am setting up moderators and would like them to receive emails from posted forum topics and replies so they can keep up with the forum when they are not logged in. I set up forwarders in the server for the email account for the forum domain email address (example team@ourblog.com).
But then I realized that I get these topics and replies sent to me via the generic email account for the hosting account (myuserlogin@box###.bluehost.com) on the server. I also get then to my primary email account and I am not sure how that happens, but thought this was because I checked “Notify me of follow-up replies via email.”
How does “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” actually work? I can’t find anything in documentation that explains this. Does it harvest the topics and replies and send it to the email of the poster who has checked this feature? Why am I getting this mail sent to the my isp default box number for my account?
If I could figure out how bbPress is determining email addresses, then I could solve my own problem.
Thank you, Matoca

Hey everybody!
Me and a friend have been looking for this for several hours now without look. I’ve found some outdated posts about it but since they’re outdated any eventual fix doesn’t work.
What we want to do is remove the topic and reply count from the Forum titles (marked red in the image). I’ve personally checked probably all .php-files in bbpress\templates\default and few in the includes folder looking for anything related to topic, reply count. Either I’m looking in the wrong place or I’ve missed them.
As you can see I marked something with green as well, this isn’t as important but I would like to either remove that one or rename to Star or something similar since pressing it sends you back to the start page.
Appreciate all kinds of help, cheers!
Odd. Could be a bug in several different places, but bbPress does use BuddyPress’s bp_core_current_time() function before calling bp_activity_add() in BBP_BuddyPress_Activity::record_activity().
I’d start your trouble shooting there, and see what time is being calculated.
This is an odd problem.
Whenever anyone posts to the bbpress forums, the relevant activity notification shows up in the buddypress activity stream (frontend) as “44 Years, 1 month ago” and in the back end activity stream as “January 1, 1970 at 1:00 am” regardless of when it is posted (although obviously not 44 years ago!)
All the other activity posts (friend requests etc) show the correct times.
I have the timezone in WordPress dashboard set to UTC+1 (I am in Europe). WordPress, buddypress and bbpress are all current and up to date. We have the site running on a Windows IIS server.
Anyone help on this would be greatly appreciated!
(crossposted to buddypress.org as I have no idea if bbpress or buddypress is the problem, or neither!)
Is it possible with bbpress to have indented discussions like this:
something like this…
Post 1
…. Reply 1.1
…. Reply 1.2
……..Reply 1.2.1
…. Reply 1.3
…….. Reply 1.3.1
…….. Reply 1.3.2
…….. Reply 1.3.3
Post 2
…. Reply 2.1
etc.
Is this possible?

A guest/anonymous user created a topic yesterday despite this not being allowed (I have “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” unchecked.)
How could this happen and how can I fix it?
I have all current versions of WordPress, bbpress and buddypress if thats relevant. I also use GD bbPress Tools and bbPress String Swap.
