Thanks @inspirationnally for sharing your solution. Hope it will get fixed in a future release of the plugin, or in a future release of bbpress.
Kaliceos posted already above an answer to my – the same – problem:
Forums index in the same layout as other bb software
but I did write Adam yet regarding that problem.
I simply commented out
#add_filter('bbp_has_forums', 'tehnik_bpp_filter_forums_by_permissions', 10, 2);
in tehnik_bbp_forum.php –
that way the forums still show up, but they cannot be entered without permissions.
If they are not visible would be better, of course.
I also commented out
#if (current_user_can('read_hidden_forums'))
#$post_stati[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();
btw, because I did not want the moderators to enter the hidden forums. Just because they can move threads doesn’t mean they should take a look at the crew forum for the main site.
It is in the widgets.php file
located at
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php
start at line 1064
you should be able to find the time in there somewhere
NOTE : this file will be overwritten by bbPress updates. You might do better to fork the code into your own plugin to prevent overwrites.
I think (but am not sure) the styling comes from other wordpres & bbPress elements and has no direct bbpress.css elements
I think you have the same problem as me. Are you also using this mod https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-index-in-the-same-layout-as-other-bb-software/ ?
Look I posted there too.
I was using this and everything worked fine… until I had the need of a “per forum permission” system. Then I tried this plugin https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions (the only one I found actually). Now I just get the default listing repeated for each “section” instead of the subforums.
Seems like I have no other way to restrict single forums to different roles/groups other than this+Members plugin. I wonder why bbPress don’t have a better permission system…
Can you please look this plugin code and help me fix it?
Thanks
Holly,
bbPress will work out of the box for most implementations. How much you then customise it is up to you.
Typically you might want to change a little of the styling – that depends on how much styling your existing site has – There wasn’t a link to your existing site in your original post.
Then you might wish to alter some layout – although the default is pretty standard
The documentation
Codex
will show you what you need to do to set up, and if you already have wordpress, then you could see how well bbPress would suit you in a couple of hours by following the set up guide and creating some test forums.
Hi, this is a little bug of 2.5 version.. you can add this patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481 or wait for 2.5.1 version..
Hello, I installed the plugin bbpress, adding a forum page, inserted the shortcode, but my forum is a vertical list, I would like to appear as a horizontal blocking like normal forums. Anyone know how to do this? I use the responsive theme, but i tested with other themes and it does the same exact thing. a little assistance would be cool, for i am thoroughly frustrated.
My website = places2bee.com
I’m not sure but I’m guessing this is not an intended effect or am I wrong? The voice count works as expected until one uses the forum repair tool and performs a Count voices in each topic which then excludes the guest topics and replies from the voice count. Also tested on a new bbPress install with other plugins disabled.
I’m using WordPress 3.7.1. and bbPress 2.5
I’m not sure but I think this only came up around the time I upgraded to bbPress 2.5
@mitesh-patel Could I have some help on how to do this with my website? It’s a membership site so right now there’s nothing to see, but can you connect with me and I can give you access?
I’m trying to adapt the code you’ve given here but this isn’t working.
body.bbPress #nav > menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-158 sfhover > a {background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F2F2F2;}
The site is at http://dev.itarsenal.com right now
quite easy see
Codex
where there are step by step guides, and layout examples
As Stephen says move the bbpress.css into your theme and you can mod it withoutn overwriting

Hi guys over there!
I have a little problem with my forum… and I hope you can help me with it.
I’m setting up a new forum and I’m trying to set-up custom permissions for each forum
e.g.:
Forum A -> Access & View only to Group A
Forum B -> Access & View only to Group B
Forum C -> Access & View only to Group C
To solve this problem I have found two plugins:
Members -> http://wordpress.org/plugins/members
bbPress Permissions -> https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions
The problem is that when i activate the second plugin (bbpress permission) I see all forums more than one time…
I see something like that:
FORUM A
FORUM B
FORUM C
FORUM A
FORUM C
FORUM B
FORUM A
Instead of a simple:
FORUM A
FORUM B
FORUM C
Someone had this problem with the plugin?
Ty for response 🙂
Hey Jlow,
I can’t see the link you provided but as someone who has just gone through the process I can say BBPress is incredibly easy to customize. There’s a few bits and bobs that can cause trouble but overall you can a large amount of control on every loop and page.
Copy over the template files into a subfolder bbpress on your theme and you can edit everything to your liking.
Cheers,
Jack
Hi!
I am choosing a suitable forum plugin to use on my wordpress site.
I wish my end product to look like this: http://www.tokyohive.com/forums
Please advice if bbpress layout can be edited to look like this, and if yes, how difficult or easy is it?
I am really new to wordpress. Thank you everyone for all your help!
No problem for me Stephen… I like bbpress…
Thanks for the links, I hadn’t see Moot before
Personally I am not sure about ‘remember your place’ at all, if I had of used that feature today when I opened bbPress.org would have that put me half way reading topic ‘abc’ in forum ‘xyz’ rather than the home page showing me a summary of what happened recently? Maybe an iterating on that idea a little further where you could have a button/link to ‘Take me to where I last left off’.
Reply directly inline to search results… That wouldn’t be too difficult to implement.
Another good read/watch is this post by @sadr https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/any-plans-to-merge-o2-features-into-bbpress/ on the upcoming O2 theme from WordPress, some really cool stuff in this.
Lastly is the WordPress Heartbeat API and @mordauk has a bit on his blog on an implementation idea in one of his plugins http://pippinsplugins.com/using-the-wordpress-heartbeat-api/
Needless to say there are lots of ideas on future directions of bbPress and BuddyPress, we also have a few features that have been on users want list for quite a while.
Hello to everyone. I work part time (still in college) for a studio that is converting a popular Joomla site to WP and one of the top new features will be the community. I’ve been asked to get some ideas together for our forums and do the research on software and plugins.
I hope I’m not asking too much here but if I could get some links to what some of you seasoned community developers consider to be some of the best implementations I’d really appreciate it. If you’d like to look at the site it’s at and if you want to reach out to me privately you can use the contact form there: Attention Holly.
I’ll be back in a couple days to check replies. Thank you ahead!
also, can somebody tell me where to copy the template files so I can customize bbpress. the information here
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
admits to being dated
Hi there, I’m trying to add new profile fields to the bbpress profile screen. so far I’ve been able to add the profile items I want like so
add_action(‘bbp_user_edit_after_name’,’lp_add_profile_settings’);
question now is, how to I get the profile items to save properly. is there a bbpress hook or wordpress hook that I can use to get my user_meta settings to save?
Thanks Steve! Here’s my latest reply on that same thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-supporting-this-plugin-help-w-discussions?replies=28#post-4951643. Giving up on the migration and sending the client to GROU.PS in the meantime since they will migrate Ning data (including forums). Then start 100% fresh with our beloved bbPress and BuddyPress.
I figured it out…bbpress was in conflict with a plugin called “Advanced Post Types Order”. By disabling all plugins and turning them on one at a time, I found out that this was the plugin that was causing the conflict / error in bbpress.
Of course, I proceeded in reverse alphabetical order working backwards from the W’s and “Advanced Post Types Order” was the last one I checked (first on the list going alphabetically), knowing my luck, I should have bet money on that.
Anyway, that is one problem solved. Thanks to the forum for the help, support and hand-holding.
My problems now is that “Advanced Post Types Order” is a plugin that I like and need. I will recreate the error on my dummy site and submit it to the authors of “Advanced Post Types Order” because I think they would like to know….because its bbpress.
In the meantime, is there any alternative to this plugin that allows me to order my posts?
Please let me know, thanks!
I’m installing bbPress on a blog that is restricted, and would like to know if you have only logged as people view the forum content. How can I do this?
thanks
