The CSS class for this widget is bbp-login-form
@jonblazn I would suggest your open an issue on the authors GitHub repo
https://github.com/turtlepod/gt-bbpress-author/issues
@tatiana_k Are you using any custom templates for bbPress in your theme folder? (Possibly some ‘older’ Twenty Ten bbPress templates)
The issue is that I see both topics & replies and want to determine what is different between your setup and mine.
bbPress Trac Ticket #2453
OH! I unchecked Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug in the bbpress settings and it solved the problem for me!

Hi guys,
I have the same problem! I just installed bbPress 2.4.1 and any user profile returns a 404 error.
https://www.webacademie.co/discussions/user/frenchycopy/
Even myself as the admin: http://www.webacademie.co/discussions/user/Admin/
I even created a brand new user using the bbpress registration form thinking maybe the user needed to be created by bbpress itself but that didn’t work either.
I have tried resetting my permalinks. I also deactivated every single plugin except bbpress and even alone, I still get the 404 errors.
Can someone help me? I have no clue what to do! I’m more than willing to pay for support on this. I just want things to work.
Thanks in advance…
Hi again,
nobody can help?
Nobody knows where in the CSS I could solve this problem?
Maybe someone have mercy.
Thanks a lot!!
I had a custom php site running phpbb, and I’m designing a WP site to replace it. I was planning on using forum software that would integrate with WP and settled on bbpress as the only free (or inexpensive) option.
But now I’m planning on sticking with phpbb, even though it won’t integrate with WP like I want it to. I was willing to install a handful of plugins, but it looks like I’m going to need 20 or 30 plugins just to get some basic functionality for users and the admin. That’s even considering that my user base is not technically oriented and many phpbb features are unnecessary. My site has a single column layout with a header navigation, so the login and other widgets aren’t very useful for me. It looks like it’s possible to get bbpress set up the way I want with enough coding, but I guess I was just hoping for more of a plug and play solution to get my new site up and running with.
I hope you will keep developing bbpress to be a more complete solution.
Hello , I have got the latest bbpress plugin workings with my WordPress but now I am noticing forums and topics are not refreshing . I use w3 total cache and assume that is the issue . Is there a way to exclude bbpress from it or do you know how to make it compatible , thank you
Many thanks for this, this makes sense and looks like a logical solution.
But, I’ve realised my issue is probably bigger than I thought. It’s not just a sidebar issue but more fundamental. When viewing or posting a new topic or reply the forum ‘jumps’ out of its parent page.
e.g –
(Viewing forum1 which is embedded in page1 using shortcode)
When I post a new topic my url changes to:
/’forum-root-slug’/’topic-slug’/
and so I have ‘jumped-out’ of my original location. This is not what I want to happen. I want the user to stay within the current location. And so, sidebar1 should also stay there without any hacks/workarounds, and sidebar2 should also stay in place for page2 which contains forum2 etc.
So going forward:
==> Any idea how to set a dynamic ‘forum-root-slug’ so that it is whatever the parent location is?
Could try this:
add to template: <?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>
This way you’ll see the ID-number of a forum when you display it.
Say, forum 1 has number xxx, 2 yyy, 3 zzz.
Remove the line above from your template.
Add this to the sidebar:
<?php
$forum = bbp_get_forum_id();
if ($forum == xxx) {
echo ‘code forum 1’;
} else if ($forum == yyy) {
echo ‘code forum 2’;
} else if ($forum == zzz) {
echo ‘code forum 3’;
}
?>
If you want to add a shortcode, you can do it this way in php.
echo do_shortcode(‘[shortcode]’);
Hope this will work 🙂
Did you copy the files to YOURTHEME/bbpress?
Just leave the name of the files the way they used to be.
Yes – I’ve seen this page you recommended and was very excited to get started… but when I copy over those templates into my theme folder they do not take effect. I make changes to those newly copied templates and those changes are not reflected on the bbpress pages.
As I understand it:
-content-archive-forum.php will be seen instead of archive-forum.php
-content-single-forum.php will be seen instead of single-forum.php
But it’s not. Help? Where am I going wrong?
Hi R,
Removing the search bar is easy; it’s a bbpress option. I don’t know the exact option description, cause my bbpress is in dutch, but should state something like this:
[forum options] –> [allow to search through all of the forum]
To remove the forums link the ‘ugly’ way, just add this to your .css file:
article.forum h2.entry-title a { display: none; }
I heavily edited all of my templates (both wp and bbpress), so don’t know how to remove the HTML, but I guess you’ll find your code in a content(-xxx).php file.
The text ‘Forums’ is probably echo’d by the_title()
We are upgrading from yahoo groups to bbPress and want to bring in the last few years worth of Yahoo posts into an Archive category or forum.
Is there a way to do this???
I wonder if this might be the solution for me. I will try to check this out later to see if it resolves the problem.
Navigation: topic or reply belongs to which forum?
Hi, but it’s everything I just get one long output in a <p> tag
e.g.
<p>Viewing 1 results (of 1 total) Author Search Results Last updated 1 week, 4 days ago #37 Forum: Forum title one Author Search Results Viewing 1 results (of 1 total)</p>
loop-single-forum.php has tags in it? This is where the content is coming from isn’t it? It seems to be.
If bbPress has a search function as a widget (which is what I am using) but no way of outputting it what is the point? Sorry if I am being dim, I’m new to bbPress.
Or maybe this can be solved with custom slugs or something?
Is it possible to give forum1 the url /forum1/ and then forum2 the url /forum2/ which is also used after posting new topic or replying to topic?
Or perhaps separate installations of bbpress with different plugin names similar to above?
Hi, i think:
content-archive-forum.php to remove search
loop-forums.php to remove title
This fila are located in bbpress template.
Greetings,
I’m looking for a way to lock or prevent answers on older topics (more than 90 days for example).
Is there a way to “autolock” or disable reply to older posts?
I did found this addon: https://github.com/thethemefoundry/BBPress-Close-Old-Posts/blob/master/bbpress-close-old-posts.php
But since it’s not listed at bbpress.org plugins list, I’m not sure if it’s safe or even compatible with my current install.
btw, searching for “lock” at bbpress.org plugins, at the bottom of the page you will see: ”
Viewing 1 to 4 (4 total)” but there are only 3 plugins listed.
Thank you!!
please help me.
I am getting bbpress shift from server to localhost.

When someone registers with bbpress they are redirected to the home page and not back the the forum. Why? The user then has to go through all the pages again to find where they were in the first place. Not very user friendly.
Even just now, I registered on this form, went through all the hoops etc..and where did I end up after signing up? The wordpress homepage?
What about a very simple process of you sign up and you are re-diredted to where you were.
Try deactivating and reactivating bbPress plugin and this should also repair any issues with bbPress role caps.
