You could add some custom code with a filter before and after the tags section and apply some custom CSS rules using:
bbp_theme_before_topic_form_tags & bbp_theme_after_topic_form_tags
Or make a copy of form-topic.php in your themes /bbpress folder and edit the template to exactly how you would like it.

I am pretty sure it is a theme issue your having in that it is not playing nice with bbPress for some reason.
You could try adding a template wrapper for bbPress.
Make a copy of your page.php or page-sidebar.php theme template file and rename it to bbpress.php in the root folder of your theme.
Have you looked to see if there are any resources on your themes support site for using bbPress?
This is most likely a plugin conflict.
To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.
bbPress might not have many settings but it does have this one 😉

Topic Tags
This will disable topic tags site wide and will no longer show topic tags associated with each topic or the topic tag input form.
The ‘User Role Editor’ will not fix this issue, it has nothing to do with bbPress and will probably hinder your troubleshoot rather than helping.
Have you tried running the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool?

As per https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
You can set the forum/category ID in the widget but only a single ID at this stage.
(bbPress) Forums List – A list of forums with an option to set the parent.
Options:
Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
Parent Forum ID: “0″ to show only root – “any” to show all
Yes, it was caught by Akismet as spam, fixed and replied.
Slow to post forum topics and replies on large forum
It is kind of a performance issue with some ‘bigger’ forums, we have a pretty awesome fix for this coming up in bbPress 2.6 once a couple of kinks are ironed out.
Details are here if you want to all out technical but I wouldn’t try running this patch just yet, soon, just not yet. 😉

Hello everyone! Thanks in advance for your help,
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my root forum page to show properly
This is my site: http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forums/
I have created a page title forum and inserted the code [bbp-forum-index],
when i go the forum page, it works fine but in the breadcrumbs, the root page shows up incorrectly. I have tried changing the page name but that doesn’t work. Can someone help please! thanks
bbPress requires at least WordPress 3.6. I would ask the authors of that theme if they can update it for WordPress 3.8, at a bare minimum besides the improvements in the latest WordPress there are bound to be some security issues in running such an old version of WordPress.
Hi
Why does my site disappear when I install bbPress? The site just go blank – but I can still go to the dashboard.
And another question of mine about bbPress:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page
Thank you.

I’ve got it!
I copied the bbpress.php file to my child theme.
Copy/pasted my full-width.php code into the beginning of the bbpress.php code and it works perfectly.
Thanks!
Hi.
I am still running bbPress v1.0.3. I have not upgraded it since due to complexity and lack of time. I am now all full at it.
I am running a copy of my site locally (on WAMP2) due to obvious reasons.
I have tried as per <fontadoni> instructions to update to v1.2, which was successful. Now I am trying to import everything to newest bbPress plugin (v2.5.2) via included import tool. What I get is:
Calculating forum hierarchy (0 - 99)
Converting forums (0 - 99)
Starting Conversion
And it hangs there (on hierarchy calculation). When I check the forums, I can see that forum categories are there, but no subforums, no topics and no users present.
I do reset and recalculate everything before importing. I have tried various checkbox combinations …
I was running bbPress integration btw (common users between wp and bbPress v1.2).
help…

WP Version: 3.8
bbPress Version: 2.5.2
I would like to modify the new post form that displays below the current topics in a forum. I was trying to do it with only CSS, but I have run into a problem.
I want to remove the “Topic Tags” field below the body area. I initially tried with the following CSS:
label[for=bbp_topic_tags],
input[id=bbp_topic_tags] {
display: none;
}
This removed the form and label themselves, but there is a <p> </p> tag around these with no Class or other identifier, leaving a noticeable space.
What is the best way to accomplish this or modify the form?
Thanks for the reply.
Do I copy the template code and paste it into the bbpress.php file? Or do I copy the template as a file and add it to a folder in the bbpress folder nested under plugins?
I’m looking fore a BBpres widget where i can show the topics, only for the category’s i selected.
Someone can help me whit this?
I’ve tried posting a question in the Troubleshooting forum twice this morning, and both posts have disappeared!!
I’m wondering if they are being flagged as spam possibly? The question was related to performance issues on the forums at BigBlueBall. Can one of the Keymasters check and let me know if my URL was causing this to be flagged as spam? That concerns me… obviously.
No I’m using WP 3.4.2 as that is what is included in my theme installer from Shape5. (Sports nation, Shapes5’s WP club them).
I have previously upgraded to 3.8 but it caused things in my theme to stop working so I’m staying with 3.4.2.
So bbPress doesnt work with Wp 3.4.2 ?
Yes, this is a known issue and hopefully a fix isn’t far off.

I think the info in the following topic should help 🙂
Forum Index + Topics by Freshness
Have you tried the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool?
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
I have not seen anyone else report anything like what you mention.
Have you updated top WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2 and tested with the Twenty Thirteen theme?
Also some screenshots would be beneficial
Have you set the forum slug to forum? (i.e. the same slug as your page slug)
