Thanks. I was hoping it was that easy. Is there a list of bbpress shortcodes somewhere?
Hello,
I’ve set up bbPress on a clients’ website. They have a private forum and unfortunately the word “Private” gets appended to the forum title twice. The actual title that I created is “Parish News and Discussion” but on the page it reads “Private: Private: Parish News and Discussion” Is there a reasonable way to fix this? I am not a php developer so please keep that in mind when responding. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Hi
I would like to change the edit profile link in the admin bar to link to the edit profile link in bbpress.
I this possible?
Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to make a WordPress page with the same slug as your forum root. bbPress will see that page and yield to it, letting it render instead of your forums.
In that page’s content, use the bbp-forum-index shortcode, along with any other HTML, shortcodes, or whatever else you want there. You can get really fancy with your forum index using modifications in a child theme, custom template parts, page templates, forum archives, etc…
bbPress comes with widgets and a shortcodes to help with rerouting logins and sign-ups (which are what we use here on bbpress.org), but you’ll likely want to look into other third party plugins for actually taking over and controlling the stock experience.

Same here too.
WP: 3.8.1
bbPress: 2.5.3
Buddypress: 1.9.1
Just noticed it tonight after upgrading WP, something with 3.8.1??
This could also possibly be related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512
Can you try the workaround listed in that ticket:
Don’t run the bbp_admin_repair_forum_visibility repair tool
In the backend though edit the forum and updates it’s ‘visibility’ by:
Change the forum visibility from private to public and save
Change the forum visibility back to the original private status and save
@vogelwild I just tested this.
* Created a new user, logged in, confirmed they had the bbPress Participant role
* As admin created a Private and a Hidden Forum and a new topic & reply in each
* Logged out and back in as the new user and they can see the private forum and both the topic and reply in that forum. They can’t see the Hidden forum because they don’t have access rights.
At a quick glance I’m quite sure bbPress could do everything that you mention above, just not out of the box will it do those things.
You would need to make these customizations yourself or hire a programmer to do them for you.
The ‘threaded “hierarchal tree-style” would just be a matter of making some custom templates and would be quite quick. To setup the different theme for different users I think there are a few WordPress plugins that let your users choose what theme they want to use, so have two themes, one with the default bbPress theme (with or without customizations, and the other theme with your customized “hierarchal tree-style” templates.
There are some docs on getting started with custom templates https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Correct, 4bbPress doesn’t have ‘Private Messaging’ but bbPress and BuddyPress are very close friends, you could even say they PM each other more than any two plugins should.
In other words most of the developers of both the plugins are constantly using both plugins at the same time constantly ensuring both plugins work seamlessly together.
Glad you found the issue.
AWPCP state this is now fixed, contact them for an updated version.

Too add a menu link just go to ‘Admin -> Appearance -> Menus’ and add a new menu item eg. ‘Forums’ with a link to http://example.com/forums
Threaded replies are now built into bbPress. You can turn them on and set the nesting levels in your Forum Settings.
I disabled the bbPress Threaded Replies and can see the forums now. I will confirm with students that they can see them as well.
Is there a better threaded replies option or are we better off just allowing everything to post in-line? It was a very nice feature for our online class.
Thanks you. We are up and running again so far.
It seems to me that many bbP users would benefit from the ability to list selected topics by excluding forums (ie, topics for all forums except forum-xyz).
+1
At bbPress 1.0 this could be done this way, array( ‘exclude’ => ‘-3,-7,-12’ ) but for some reason this doesn’t work anymore in bbPress 2.0
I need something similar.
In bbPress 1.0 we had an array option called array( ‘exclude’ => ‘-3,-73,-103’ ) why is this gone in bbPress 2.0 ?
First I thought okay it’s just turned around instead of excluding forum_ids we now include forum_ids but that’s not true.
The post_parent is by default set to ‘any’ = 0 but you can only add one single forum_id you can’t do stuff like this.
bbp_has_topics( array( ‘post_parent’ => ‘23,51,73,107’ ) )
It’s show everything – one forum_id or nothing at all.
What am I missing here?
Same issue here.
WP: 3.8
bbPress: Version 2.5.3
Genesis Framework with customized Magazine Pro theme
I also have threaded replies enabled.
Frustrating issue… do we have any hope of squashing this bug?
Im using the latest versions of WP and BBpress,
All i have learnt using WP and BBpress is from trial and error and use of support forums and information from other websites.
I gamer at heart and play many mmo’s, i use wordpress for our main site and wanted to include a forum for our members(BBpress). http://enigmas.eu
I have been able to change lay out and look, so it look like main site and i have install an Plugin (bbPress String Swap) to rename roles, but it only change them on the forum and not in the admin selection area and the same goes with Public-Privet-hidden forum.
I would like to be able to change the names with in the admin side, so that my Moderator’s know which role to select when a new member joins
Key master – Guild leaders
Moderator – Officer
Participant – Member
Also when creating a forum know which one to select
Public – (can stay the same)
Private – Members Zone
Hidden – Officers Zone
As im talking about the forum titles i would like to remove (private) from the forum breadcrumb i have seen many examples of how to do it and have tried them out, but they don’t seem to work. i don’t know if im doing some thing wrong. so look for a fresh input.
i know that my Moderator(Officers) could get used to knowing which role and forum section to choose from with out changing them. but the Private before the forum tile is a real pain.
any ideas would be great thank you
I read a lot of questions about what to do with the forum root, so I figured I post something other might use as well. My workaround:
– I made a page with all my forum categories, like I described above.
– The forum root uses the bbpress.php template and in that file I made an if statement to check if the template is serving the forum-root. If that happens the template shows the last 25 active topics.
– Both pages have a header like this:
—————
Forum
| Sorted on category | Active topics |
—————
That way it’s very obvious how to go to the counter-page.
Breadcrumbs now direct to the last active topics page, while the ‘forum’ link in my top navigation directs to the forum page (sorted on subject). Not perfect, but it’s the best I could think of.
Any further help / suggestion are appreciated!

A couple more things, disable the ‘bbPress Threaded Replies’ plugin for starters, this functionality has been in bbPress since v2.4 and I suspect is the main problem you are having.
If that doesn’t fix it try what @robin-w suggested in the first reply to your post by disabling your other plugins also.
Hi,
I’ve just installed the bbPress plugin on WordPress 3.8_it_IT, but after i activated it
nothing changes in the menu (the forum item doesn’t appear) and I created the page Forum
as you indicated but it tells that there is no forum installed…
I tried to deactivate and activate again, and unistall and install but nothing…
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance
Hey there!
We have been doing good amount of work with bbPress lately and have implemented a variety of solutions including setting up paid forums via integration of bbPress with WooCommerce. While doing so, we realized that this set up in particular, needs deep understanding of the plugins so we thought of compiling a detailed tutorial and sharing it with the world.
I am glad to tell you that the tutorial is now out and you can check it out on our website HERE.
Also feel free to comment on this guide and ask us any questions for which we would get back to you soon.
I see replies listed in the administrative dashboard, but if I click to view them, they are not there.
I believe I updated bbPress 2.5.3, bbPress threaded replies 0.4.3, bbPress Posts Toolbar 0.7.5 and Jetpack by WordPress.com 2.7
I also updated to the latest version of WordPress.
Here is the front of the forum

Guys thanks for the help. Also I had not updated from a previous 2.5.2 version, 2.5.3 was first installment.
I now think the problem stems from a plugin added a few days ago – This one: Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)
I had a little play around and not sure why, but even when I re-installed bbpress none of the icons for forum would show on left, when classifieds was deactivated it sprang to life.
Very odd, but I had to look at what changed have been made recently as I am the only person who works on my site, and other than installing this other plugin last few days, my work has primarily been on content.
I will report back with any update, but thanks for both your help.

Is your SMF database on the same database server that your WordPress instalation is setup with?
If not your webhost should have some docs on how to export/backup your database.
Then follow the similar docs on your new webhost to import the database if needed.
Then follow the basic steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
There are also a couple of topics here on bbPress.org relating to SMF that you should be able to find pretty quickly.
