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.
It should be in your theme folder, though maybe this is what you need and/or are you using it?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
It might also be worth posting on that plugins support forum if you are.
What do you mean by “private posts”?
bbPress doesn’t enable private topics or replies out of the box. What little support it does have, still allows for administrators to search for and see any non-trashed topics or replies.
Are you using a third party plugin to enable this private posting functionality?
I don’t really see this as a security vulnerability, so much as you’re using bbPress in a neat way that isn’t quite finished for your needs yet.
If we need to add support for something that isn’t possible yet, we’re happy to do it. A little bit more information will be helpful so we can suss it out.
Nothing in bbPress 2.5.3 would delete any data on its own.
- Are you sure there are no replies in your administration dashboard?
- Can you take a screenshot of your site, or link us?
- Are you 100% sure updating from bbPress 2.5.2 to 2.5.3 was all that happened?
Nothing in bbPress 2.5.3 would actually delete your replies, so you can relax a bit knowing your data is okay.

Hi,
I am quite new to WordPress and definitely new to forums. I am trying to export a forum using SMF on one site and importing into bbPress on another site within WordPress. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
I made a test post and this is showing ok for now. I was just thinking even if say they were deleted from admin replies (which they weren’t), then the forum would display this then anyway would it not, by saying no voices etc, but the forum is still showing the actual correct amount as if they were still in there.
I’m not sure, but something is up. This person here (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-update-2-5-3/) it seems has the same issue.
This was all working last night ok, and I have not played with anything today very strange indeed 🙂
No luck with that solution. Does the new bbPress.php file need to reside in the theme folder, or does it replace the current bbpress.php file in the plugin folder.
I actually tried both and nothing worked, but thought I would ask.
Thanks
Markic,
Thanks for posting these – I’ve added them to the codex documentation at
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
as items 6 & 7

@netweb Thank you!
In a bbPress context is an ‘Anonymous User’, check that you don’t have this enabled.
OK, not enabled. Anonymous posting is NOT checked (Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies = NO). Still seeing the dummy revisions.
Also check what WordPress settings are in /wp-admin/options-discussion.php
I checked the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment,” but that didn’t change anything.
Is this with bbPress disabled?
NO, bbpress was enabled. I disabled bbpress for a few minutes and did not see any post revisions generated during that time period.
