i have added bbpress forum on my site along with buddypress. My forum posts has reply box at bottom which doesn’t have any border and reply area looks like white empty space. I want it to look like this site reply box with border. I have also attached a screen shot of the reply box look.
Is there any solution to this?

Regarding the current Forum subscriptions:
1. Do they apply only to the current forum, or to sub-forums as well? I am seeing behavior that a subscription to a forum does ”’not”’ subscribe you to all sub-forums as well. Will I and all my moderators have to go and subscribe to each sub-forum in the entire forum tree?
2. Do they apply only to new topics? Or to ask another way, do they also apply to all of a forum’s existing topic replies? Here again, I am seeing behavior that leads me to believe that I will only get a single new topic notification, but I will have to go and ”’manually subscribe”’ to each individual topic if I want to see replies to that topic. For administrators and moderators this would be nastily inconvenient behavior.
The wording at https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/ for precisely what subscriptions do appears ambiguous to me in these areas.
Even though RSS for the entire forum is currently implemented, I still have a great interest in a simple email subscription that is equivalent. Simply put, the reason is simplicity for my users, moderators, etc., as well as for me as an administrator/implementer. While I can setup something using the RSS feed that would generate email notifications to all my moderators, I don’t want to for a variety of reasons including time to implement and potential security holes.
A thought: you may decide to implement both “forum local” and “forum with sub-forums” subscriptions. When unsubscribed, the links would display as:
”’Subscribe”’ – if there are no sub-forums
”’Subscribe with sub-forums”’ – if there are sub-forums (the default)
”’Subscribe without sub-forums”’ – if there are sub-forums (user selectable)
where the ”’without sub-forums”’ versus ”’with sub-forums”’ are 2 faces of a toggle link (similar to your Subscribe/Unsubscribe toggle link) controlling what the ”’Subscribe”’ link in fact subscribes the user to.
If you choose to implement only a single behavior for forum subscriptions, I am ”’strongly”’ in favor of including all sub-forum new topics and replies. I can see every bbPress site administrator and forum moderator wanting this functionality.
I also think it extremely counter intuitive to not include existing topic replies in a forum subscription. I hope you do already, but I have not experimented with it enough to know precisely how the forum subscriptions behave.
NB: The “unsubscribe” bug may have clouded my observations of real forum subscription behavior.
After just adding support for imported phpBB posts where the original author had been deleted I’m kind of thinking maybe this is something that should be in the core of bbPress. BuddyPress allows users to delete their own accounts (if enabled) and maybe we should also have this option for bbPress.
Thus if a user deletes their account rather than deleting their topics and replies we delete the actual account but assign a ‘legacy’ username to each topic and reply allowing the topics to retain the original context.
Does this sound like the type of way we should implement this in bbPress core?
Cool, I’ll take a closer look at bbPress with Twenty Fourteen (I’m mobile at the moment) and post an update to either here or the ticket you created.
Have you tried using the single forum shortcodes for each forum you want on each page that you want a forum?
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
It is already translatable, see https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ to download or add translations for your language.
The short answer is: no difference.
I think I get what you are asking… I did the following:
cd wp-content/themes/copyOf2014
sudo cp page.php bbpress.php
That did not affect behavior on my desktop browser, which continues to render properly. Neither did it change anything on my Android Chrome browser, which still shows a mostly blank page with only the single word “Forums” when I go to “http://mysite.com/forums/”.
I have – as recommended – copied the twentyfourteen theme so that I could make font and margin adjustments, as well as changing the top and side bars from black to very light gray with black text. That “copyOf2014” also contains – again I believe as recommended – a copied “bbpress” sub-directory with a lot of php files and a copied “css” sub-directory with “bbpress.css” among other .css files.
You need to make sure embeds are enabled for both bbPress & WordPress
Auto-embed Links
Enable forum participants to embed links from YouTube, Twitter, and others by simply pasting a link into their topic or reply. This is done using the WordPress oEmbed API. More information and a full list of supported sites can be found on the Embed Codex page.
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/ https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
You could enable Featured Images for your theme and bbPress and also display the actual image just as the site you link to does (at the left of the topic/post)
Find out if your theme supports ‘Featured Images’ and if so then enabling them in some customized bbPress templates would mirror that same look. 🙂
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
What language are you looking for?
Maybe this will help https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Shortcodes should do the trick as most things are covered by them.
Eg. If you want to show a forum use the single forum shortcode, if you want to display a single topic with the replies use the single topic shortcode.
BuddyPress is basically doing the same as the shortcodes and I’m not entirely sure what you mean by ‘i tired with shortcodes but that only seemed to give the headings’ unless you are using the wrong shortcode where for example [bbp-forum-index] rather than [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id].
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Forum Prefix – Used to enable forum prefixing with the Forums base slug in Archive Slugs
Eg. Using bbpress.org as an example, this forum ‘Troubleshooting’ uses the slug https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting/ if you disable the prefix it would use https://bbpress.org/forum/troubleshooting/ instead, it removes the forums part of the slug.
Make a copy of Twenty Thirteen’s page.php in the theme directory and rename it to bbpress.php.
Does that work?
I see the issue covered in ticket 2493 as clouding the issue here – it certainly did for me. You post a new topic or reply, don’t check the “Notify me…” check box at the bottom – because you are already subscribed – get unsubscribed because you didn’t check the box and get no email notifications from that point onward! I am using WordPress 3.8 with bbPress 2.5.2.
I would like a ”’Subscribe”’ link on the ”’Forums”’ page that gives me or any other registered forum user an email for both new topics and replies for any and all forum (including sub-forum) activity. Intuitive behavior for top level forum ”’Subscribe”’ is getting an email for ”’any”’ non-spam activity for that forum and all its sub-forums, if any. I deem anything else (ie, leaving out the sub-forums) as extremely counter-intuitive, even though some people may want that some of the time.
RSS is either unknown, too much trouble, or potentially going away for my forum users who want notifications. I would also greatly prefer these emails to be sourced ”’after”’ the “Bad Behavior” and “Akismet” plugins have deemed the posting to ”’not”’ be spam.
Right now I could hack something together for the top level, likely using the “bbpress email notifications” 0.3 plugin to generate email to a mailman distribution that my forum users could subscribe to. But it would be such an ugly hack and a nuisance to maintain. Setting it up so a spammer couldn’t do evil things with it would also be a pain.
What happens when you copy the Twenty Fourteen page.php template as bbPress.php in the theme folder and visit http://example.com/forums ?
Pretty much sums it up. No idea what possessed me to do so but it
is it is. Still learning WP and BBpress and their qwirks.
Now if I could figure out how to make 1 search return results from
WP and BBpress.
So let me restate what you found to work:
1. When creating a menu item for forums, do NOT use the automatically available permalink that ends in “/forums/”
2. Instead, create a page that has the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the body. There could also then be other content or links in the body.
3. Make sure the page you created does NOT have a permalink that ends in “/forums/”. In my case I had a page Title of “Forums”, but I changed the permalink to end with “/allforums/”.
I did this on my site and it now works on my Android smart phone.
This weirdness needs to be either fixed or on the bbPress FAQ.
Lynqoid,
the BB Press is running under a wordpress theme.
The above code to be added onto the plugin >bbPRess >Edit ?
Can I paste the code mentioned below
.forum-disclaimer { display:none; }
.bbpress .forum-Disclaimer

Hi
How can I translate the ‘Search’ string in the Search Box at content-archive-forum.php:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
I want to translate it to my website language but I can’t really find the file to modify…
Thanks for the support
Hi – I am setting up a forum similar to this one using bbpress:
http://aslstem.cs.washington.edu/
I want to be able to allow people to create an account and then post YouTube videos in ASL. I then want them to be able to embed the video into their forum page (similar to the above).
Here is the bbpress I’ve created:
http://hissign.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=1
I’m calling the forum ASL exchange and you’ll notice that I created a test topic called Baby Signs. When you click on that post you’ll notice the YTV video link but I was unable to embed the video in the post so the video plays there (instead of just the link).
Can someone explain to me how or what I need to do to embed the video into the post?
Thanks.
Bummer, not seeing that! Thanks for the response.
Going to try with another user account because there were some weird user role issues with my forum until recently when I installed User Role Editor to fix the issue.
EDIT: none of my keymasters can see that button. Going to try to disable a few other plugins but everything is the latest version.
EDIT 2: still no. Has this plugin broken for anyone else or does it work for wp 3.8+ and bbpress 2.5+?
I installed bbpress forum.
In the 5th point it is noticed that I have to select the Templates to “bbPress – User Register”. But I don’t have that option in the template list.
Please help me how to get resolve this to get signup page.
wow! you’re gonna love this one. the problem is Ghostery the AD blocker i use. with Ghostery off all my wordpress and wordpress/bbpress sites display Twitter feed properly. Ghostery on and some of my wordpress/bbpress sites display the Twitter feed, it’s not bbpress but another plug in that allows Ghostery to be on and still display the Twitter feed. (i use a mac so results could be diff on windoz).
i’d guess all those people posting complaints for 2 years (and no answers), have AD blockers running!
thanks for looking into that!
If I test on a blank install of WordPress the twitter feed works, if I add bbPress it also works. Do you have an example of any other non bbPress site where the twitter feed is not working?
I am guessing a plugin conflict, javascript error or template problem.
Good luck!
