Another option is to use a BuddyPress plugin, but that too requires some experienced setup. Currently there isn’t a simple way to reply-by-email for the bbPress ecosystem.
Hi there!
Thanx for answering! I’ve read your answer to a similar issue in an old post and I’ve already checked that, but unfortunately it seems that in the new versions, or at least in this installation, the bbpress class is added to the body of the post content and not to the page wrapper, so the sidebar is outside and I can’t target it with that class..
it’s a bit weird though, cause it seems that the shortcode which calls the forum archive in the post content, is actually overriding the template chosen with the page attributes. it’s set as default template, but in the theme default page should be displayed the default sidebar, and in the forum page is displaying the forum sidebar instead, even if is set on default template and there is just a shortcode into the post content..
Does the body tag have a class of .bbPress ?
If so you can use that to target the sidebar.
Hey guys,
The theme is what teamoverpowered.com forums is based on and it is still working (I always update bbPress).
So in theory the theme should work, take a backup and test it! 🙂
I am (slowly) working on another theme which should be quite nice, it’s just taking longer than expected.
In case anyone else out there is having similar issues, I figured out a work-around. It is very hacky and I would love it if someone happened to have a better solution. In essence, the problem was with bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php. For some reason, the labels that were associated with bbp_stick_topic, bbp_topic_status, and bbp_topic_title were not wanting to adhere to the forms or drop down menus and the titles were being printed up by the forum title. To work around the issue, I just deleted the titles of the form and drop down menus. It is only a temporary solution, so I would love it if anyone had any ideas about why the labels might be breaking. I uninstalled every other plugin and reinstalled bbPress but still had the issue. Thanks for the help!
Hi Again,
So after working like crazy I found a plugin that seems to interfere with the permissions somehow with bbPress causing the first post to not display properly.
This was the culprit:
http://codecanyon.net/item/pages-by-user-role-for-wordpress/136020?ref=RightHere
After deactivating the above plugin everything worked as it was supposed to.
As I still require the functionality of this role restriction to limit access to page content I am investigating other options.
Cheers,
Jillianne

I have created my Forum page and it was working correctly at first but now when I go to the main page I get a text version of the top level groups. http://biz139.inmotionhosting.com/~fantas55/forums/
I know the forums are actually there and working because I can still get to a forum post and use the breadcrumbs to get back to all the other levels of the forum, just not the top one.

Also is that Admin Notice going to go away, or is that related to this issue?

I would like to set a conditional check for a user meta value or status and update their user role accordingly. Is this possible? (in a plugin or functions.php)
for example:
if (user_status = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
AND
if (user_status = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}
Thanks!
WP: 3.8
bbPress: Version 2.5.2
I have the latest versions of WP & bbPress.
Looking for short codes for “ACTIVITY” – “MEMBERS” – “GROUPS” to keep it private from the public. i.e., only those logged in will be able to view those three items on the home bar. http://www.PickensCountyTeaParty.com
Thanks!
So…
I’ve been working on this today, and I successfully converted my phpbb3 forum into my local bbPress for an updated install, exported the bbPress database tables from my local, and imported them into my live site. For some reason my live site bbPress isn’t recognizing the freshly imported bbPress tables 🙁
Any ideas what I can do at this point? I ran the bbPress repair tool before doing the export on the local, and ran it again several times since importing it on my live site. I also did some visual comparisons of the bbPress tables in both databases, and they seem to be in order.
Signed,
AtMyWitsEnd ;D
Edit – PS: I also tried adding the tables both with bbPress activated and with it inactivated, deleted the tables each time before importing them again.
Same problem.
I solved this by :
Going into the BBPress Plugin settings
Check Auto Role : Give everyone default access to Keymaster role. (Still available here)
Update
Change it back to the way you had it.
The Keymaster role should now be available for individual users again

I solved it like this:
// add tinymce for BBPress as default editor
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['media_buttons'] = true;
$args['textarea_rows'] = true;
$args['dfw'] = false;
$args['tinymce'] = array( 'theme_advanced_buttons1' =>'bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,code,blockquote,link,unlink,outdent,indent,|,undo,redo,fullscreen',
'theme_advanced_buttons2' => '', // 2nd row, if needed
'theme_advanced_buttons3' => '', // 3rd row, if needed
'theme_advanced_buttons4' => '', ); // 4th row, if needed
$args['quicktags'] = array ('buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close');
return $args;
}
Hello,
I recently installed bbpress, (this morning). I’ve gotten everything setup but I’m having a problem with the forum titles. Instead of one forum on one line titles seem to be wrapping to the next line beneath.
Is this something I can fix in CSS as in number of characters per title?

Thank you
After deactivating all bbPress related Plugins, it still occured. Now I removed the functions.php and it seems to have stopped and I’m re-adding it one snippet after the other, but I always have to wait half an hour between each snippet to see if it continues. No idea how to test it “immediately”.
It might be something about this part:
//Remove bbPress Head on non bbPress sites
add_action( 'wp_head', 'conditional_bbpress_head', 9 );
function conditional_bbpress_head(){
global $post;
if( !is_bbpress() && !(is_home() && $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'deppheads.com') && !(isset( $post->post_parent ) && $post->post_parent == "17123") )
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'bbp_head' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'conditional_bbpress_scripts', 9 );
function conditional_bbpress_scripts(){
global $post;
if( !is_bbpress() && !(is_home() && $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'deppheads.com') && !(isset( $post->post_parent ) && $post->post_parent == "17123") )
remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbp_enqueue_scripts' );
}
which I added because I have two domains running and just one little part under the domain deppheads is actually the forum, and I did not want all that bbPress code in all sites, especially not on my main site.
Is that possible??
Hello everyone and Happy New Year 🙂
That is my problem,
I have a multi-site project.
Each site will have a different language.
I would like to assign a bbpress language has a website, but I do not know how.
How can I do?
Thank you in advance 🙂
ps: sorry for my english not so good: P
Stephen you are the best!!!
That was exactly what I needed and it fixed my problem. Thank you for staying on top of EVERYTHING concerning bbPress!!

Thanks, Edgar, I can see, if this solves the problem, but actually…well…I don’t even want to disable revisions completely. For my blog pages, they were a nice feature…to have an older version available if one of the editors did something wrong.
//edit: deleted those revisions again, there were over 1000 since yesterday evening. if they come, they seem to come in a batch. All posts (or some posts) of one topic, i guess. As if a google bot or something calls all edit pages of the posts at the same time.
//edit2: no new revisions so far, but if it is possible to just disable those revisions just for bbpress (even if that checkbox IS checked), it’d be great.
Is there any chance that if the topic is under moderation will it be redirect to homepage or a thank you page? I’m hoping someone here can enlighten me here.
By the way I am using the bbpress moderation plugin for the topic moderation.
Thanks and have a great day ahead.
Best regards,
Mariz
I can’t confirm a specific date though we do have bbPress 2.5.3 to ship in a couple of days, we just need to make sure what we have ready is good to ship and that nothing else pops up as an issue from what we have ready to ship.
This has been fixed for bbPress 2.5.3 that will be released soonish.

Make a copy of your themes full width template eg. page.php file and rename it to bbPress.php and you should be good to go. 🙂
PS. In addition to the above – I have tried creating a new site with the TwentyThirteen theme (different than the Buddyboss theme I am using on my main site), and activating bbPress (with Buddypress) and am having the same ‘no content’ displaying issue.
Thanks for any insights!

My Forum posts are returning 404 messages. How can I fix this?
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
Hi everyone, I´m new at BBPress and I´m searching por a very particualar plugin, if it exists. I already have a wordpress site which have their own wordpress comments. Now we are implementing BBPress and I´d like to combine those WordPress comments with the BBPress Posts.
My site is a gaming news site and I want a plugin whicn converts each new, each article and each feature into a Topic in the forum, automatically. In addition, I want that each WordPress comment appears as a post in the topic in the forum adn each BBPress comment appears as a comment in the WordPress article.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I´m sorry if I have grammar mistakes. English is not my mother language.
