Thanks for that – I’ll post a link to it in the bbpress documentation
As far as I can see it all looks ok. Presume you have permalinks and that the forum slugs set as directed.
If so try this – sometikes the bbpress sidebar doesn’t quite get there.
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate
Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets
And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar
If this works, come back and let me know
Hi. I’m not sure if it’s OK to resurrect an old thread, but I keep getting stuck when trying to convert from Simple Press to bbPress and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. The forum has ~2,000 topics and ~60,000 posts.
The conversion fails at a different point each time – forums and topics get converted, but replies stalls at around 4,000 – sometimes more, sometimes less. I tried raising the value in _bbp_converter_start but it made no significant difference. Between each import attempt I reset the bbPress forum (/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset). My server is OK (Linode 2GB VPS, and I’m not getting any alerts that it’s overloaded).
One other thing I can’t ever get to work is “Purge all information from a previously attempted import”. I’ve let it run for over 48 hours in the past, and it was “Deleting previously converted data” with a number up into the tens of millions before I gave up on the process, and never actually starts converting. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Hello. I have bbpress forums setup on http://class.mistblogs.com/forum. This page shows the default theme header,but when I click on a forum or forum topic,the header is not being displayed. Is there any way to show the theme header? Thank you.
When I installed the bbPress Sidebar and added the widgets, it does not show up on the Forum on my website. http://chickenreview.com/forums/.
I am using The Thesis Theme 1.8.5
The bbPress version is 2.5.1
I downloaded and activated the bbPress WP Tweaks for the sidebar and Widgets. I have tried all the wrappers in this plug-in.
No matter what I do I can’t get the widgets to show up in the Forum so people can login or create a password.
I have read all the documentation several times. Am I still missing something or is there something unsaid I should know already?
Thanks for any help.
I just had a closer look and you are correct, ‘Press Permit’ only supports bbPress dynamic roles with a paid upgrade.
Just a note, I haven’t tried either plugin so I can’t recommend either of them, nor was my post meant as a recommendation. I was only helping to troubleshoot your problem and point out that the first plugin doesn’t support bbPress dynamic roles and the second one says they do in the ‘Free Version’.
Stephen,
Thank you. I have a basic understanding of what this means. I read about get_content and understand that the reply data needs to be “hooked” before it displays so the Tooltip can act on it.
But that is where my knowledge ends. What are the chances I can find someone to help make this happen for me? The CM ToolTip support is sympathetic but says it must happen on the bbPress side.
I can see the application of tooltip glossary information for many different forums, especially those involved in sciences, medicine and other technologies, where terminology is often part of the discussion. Are there other forums in bbPress where I might ask about this?
I have installed the latest bbpress plugin to my wordpress site. There isn’t a single tab or subcategory to be found in my dashboard that relates to BBPress. I keep reading about this forum tab but its nowhere to be found on my dashboard. I hope someone can shed some light on this 🙂
Hi
I set a page in the (bbpress) login widget: login
for the “Lost Password URI:”
but it redirects me to the 404 page
is that a common problem?
Thanks for answers
tnx, this plugin can edit bbPress permissions after purchasing. It seems good, if you recommend free plugin)
I’m not familiar with exactly what you need but bbPress JavaScript files typically live here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js for the following 5 files:
editor.js, forum.js, topic.js, reply.js & user.js
The following should work, a few CSS & JavaScript changes came with bbPress 2.5 😉
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default' );
}
I would recommend a captcha for posting, unless you love to get hundreds of spam posts a day
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
This is a start…
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8037110
add_filter ( 'bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results);
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results() {
$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );
$args['post_type'] = $default_post_type;
$args['orderby'] = 'date';
$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 'false';
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
return $args;
}
Just need to work out how to parse the other $args :/

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/search/template.php
An easy way would be to follow this: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Then empty the bbPress CSS file, you can then use a caching plugin to mash css files together and limit requests so the extra file being requested wouldn’t hurt too much.
Hi, I want to disable the default bbpress .css file. I searched through the forums and found several solutions, but none seem to work.
I used to deregister bbp-default-bbpress with the code below, but that doesn’t work anymore after the WP 3.8 upgrade.
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default-bbpress' );
}
WP 3.8
bbpress 2.5.1
Thanks!
Just enable ‘Anonymous Posting’ in the bbPress forums settings.
WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> bbPress
I think you will find the docs for that reference the_content in a WordPress context.
For bbPress things are similar but the following best explains it though in this case it was related to Jetpack, the methodology is still the same though.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/social-media-share-button-missing/#post-125857
This won’t work out of the box, and is by design. Jetpack hooks sharing options to the end of the ‘the_content’ filter. bbPress doesn’t use this filter, because blog content doesn’t have the same rules as forum content does; they work differently. To make it work, Jetpack’s sharing options would need to hook into bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content instead.
Someone could write a piggyback function to do this, but it may be more difficult than this first step once you’ve gotten this far. Replies don’t use the same “premalink” logic as topics, forums, pages, and posts do, since they are technically children of topics. There could be other quirks, too.
That is indeed a bug and we have it fixed for bbPress 2.6 😉
The issue is to do with the included bbPress ‘Green’ admin theme, my suggestion would be for now to switch to a different color admin theme until bbPress 2.6 is released.
You stick can’t stick topics like this in bbPress at this stage
A topic is either ‘sticky’ in a single forum or ‘super sticky’ in every forum.
The best place to start would be the WordPress Plugin Developer Center
https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/
And checkout the bbPress Codex https://codex.bbpress.org/context/developer/
