Be sure to check bbPress versions (latest 2.5.1) and if you are up to date then the developer/mods may have to update the POT files also, which is something to forget easily.
The dialog in bbPress for inserting a link into a post by default shows a search box and a list of existing content on the site.
I am using WooCommerce on the same WordPress installation as bbPress. The problem is that WooCommerce coupons use Pages. This means all of my coupons (often ones that are created for specific people or specific purposes) can be publicly displayed in this list.
I’ve edited my css to display: none; this section, but I’m not satisfied with this solution as it is still possible for someone to change the css and view these pages.
Is there a way I can disable this feature? How might I go about modifying the code to remove it?
File _pot in pt_BR (Brazilian) and I have this working perfectly, select only those options that are not translated and has nothing on file to reference them. There’s no way in the bbpress files even I translate these terms? Because it seems that this file _pot complete and translated all but the select only those terms that are in English yet.
Don’t know in to which language you are trying to translate, looks like Brasilian (which is I think is almost Portugese).
There is a _pot (in the language folder) file that comes with bbPress, that you can translate and use on your bbPress and hopefully submit for others to use also if they need it.
If the current translation of BR/PO is wrong feel free to change it and submit it.
The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.
Hi
I just installed BBPress and created a forum but I don’t have permission to edit it! I can’t find a setting to fix this.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks
Olivia
Hi Stephen.
Thanks for your message. I have identified the conflicting plugin. It is WPML Media. I’ve logged the problem with them and waiting for their assistance. Is there is anything further BBPress can do to resolve this conflict?
Thanks,
Olivia
This typically occurs if there is a plugin conflict.
Have you tried to see if bbPress is conflicting with another plugin?
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.
Hello,
The search functionality w/ our bbpress works fine, however, when a user types in a term that isn’t found within the forum, we just get a blank page.
For example, please visit the link below and type “rerunning” in the search.

How would I go about resolving this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
My BBPress plugin isn’t appearing in my WP menu. I installed it as instructed and the widgets are appearing but I can’t add new forums from my main WP menu.
Is anybody else having this problem. Does someone know how to fix this please?
I’m using the latest versions of WP and BBpress.
My web site address is http://www.mooshimode.com.au.
Thanks

I have a site where if I reply to an existing thread and then want to edit my reply once posted, clicking the “edit” link lands me at some other forum post.
Really baffled by this????
Site URL: http://howtothinksideways.com/
WP ver: 3.7.1
bbPress ver: 2.5.1
i guess i should have mentioned this was multisite also the domain gotgame.com.
First step: no role not attached to any site.
Second step: get participant role (all permissions look normal under bbPress Advanced Capabilities) but still cannot view the forums with a 404.
any other thing i can try here?
thanks!
You can definitely achieve the look of that forum with bbPress 🙂 good luck!
Stephen, while I got your attention.
is there a hook to get access to bbpress posts as they are submitted into the database, similiar to wordpress hooks like wp_insert_post_data, where I can get access to the post body and alter it?
Yes, now I see it, but have no idea, but looking at the link you gave ..
body.bbPress should be body.bbpress for one (no CAPITAL B)
You could try the ” ! important ” attribute with it just before the “;”
and what the “>” are doing in the css, is something I have never seen
But since the menu does not come from bbPress, but from the WP side, maybe you should look there.
Sorry, could not be of more (any) help
Hmm You are not understanding, this picture will make it clear.
It is not right for everyone.
When you click on the menu item Forum, and are brought to the Forum page, the incorrect page is then highlighted.
See here with arrows to show you what I mean: http://bit.ly/1gZvkXd
What SHOULD be happening, is that Forums should be highlighted as that is the correct page, and what the site loading for the current page.
I see on this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/navigation-problem-current_page_item-not-set-for-forums-in-navigation-tabs/ someone had tried to solve it using CSS, to force highlighting the correct menu item, but I am having trouble with that, and looking for assistance.

Nevermind this.
I found out that this has absolutely nothing to do with bbPress.
Sorry again guys.
Hello people of bbPress.
I’m having one weird issue with my bbPress forum on the website I’m building.
I can’t quite let you see it, but I have attached an image.

I’m quite sure that this isn’t a CSS error, but rather some HTML bug of some kind.
I what I can’t figure out is where this is in the code.
The forum is adding “split” attributes to its elements, I’ve tried removing those.
What I’m wondering is, is this a HTML bug or is this a bug in a php loop?
Please answer this as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
The knight of Amsterdam
It was late last night and maybe I was seeing things, I have just tried to reproduce the issue and cannot.
The fix for this was Trac Ticket #2476 and in changeset r5187.
Can you check the contents of this file on your server please, it should match this file at Line #92
/includes/users/functions.php#L92
'url' => 'comment_author_url'
Have you solved this?
I seem to have the same (bbpress 2.5.1) participants do not see the edit link. I have it set to 60 minutes in the settings.
I reverted back to theme TwentyThirteen, but the same issue.
I pasted this code under main wp-config.php and side is gone.
function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {
if ( function_exists(‘is_bbpress’) ) {
if (is_bbpress()) {
$sidebars_widgets = array(false);
remove_all_actions(‘bp_register_widgets’);
unregister_sidebar( ‘bp_core_widgets’ );
}
}
return $sidebars_widgets;
}
add_filter(‘sidebars_widgets’, ‘disable_all_widgets’, 1, 1);
My question is how do we remo Options like Topic Type and Topic Status ???
Thank you.
I really love bbPress and have been gratefully using it on my website.
No disrespect intended, and just a friendly request for consideration,…
Would it be possible to make the backtick functionality for posting optional?
Ie. a setting in the config page saying something like “Use backticks for code posting”?
I’m running into situations where the actual content a user wants post should have backticks in it, without the filtering modifying it (for example shell related code examples).
Modifying the core files of bbPress is of course not a real option, just a temporary bandaid at best, and I know others have been looking into the backtick debacle as well (for example GhettoBSD).
you can use ‘widget logic’ plugin to control what is shown in sidebars. for bbpress the logic is
is_bbpress() to display and
!is_bbpress() to hide
or if you want a forum specific sidebar use ‘bbpress WP’ tweaks plugin.
Profile images use the gravatar image see http://en.gravatar.com/ for details
Thanks for the response, I’m coming back now to say I’ve figured this out.
Pagelines actually has a plugin to integrate with BBpress which lets you control this from their system.
If I could only figure how to get the right menu item to highlight when on the forum, can you assist with that? I’ve described the problem, and given the site information here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wrong-navigation-current_page-need-css-help/
Thank you!
