For a page you write, you can choose the type of layout you want given that your theme offers that. However, bbPress runs on a page created on the fly, three is no page called “forums” unless you create one and then use shortcodes to bring up the forum.
Every theme has a CSS file which can be edited within WordPress. Go to Appearance/Editor and your theme CSS should load. I edited my theme’s CSS and added the code I gave in my previous post.
Is there a way to enable a BuddyPress group to have multiple forums? Right now it is a one-to-one connection, but I need multiple forums. FYI:
– I saw the subgroups plugin, but that wouldn’t work for me.
– I also read the subforum discussion, where the ;last word from about 5 months ago was “Multiple forums per BuddyPress Group is started in bbPress, but likely won’t be finished for several months.”
– I also read the subforum discussion here, but that’s not ideal either.
– I also the “Multiple main forums on one site” topic here and I suspect the answer might eb the same that was given there, but wanted to make sure.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but I’ve been messing with this for hours and ripping my hair out. I just installed WordPress and I’m using the Arras theme. I also just installed bbPress and I’m trying to follow this tutorial (I don’t have forum “page templates” available) but I don’t seem to have this “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder anywhere? What could I be doing wrong?
Well seeing how bbPress is just a custom post type, you could add probably add any rate plugin of wordpress, though it would need some modifying to show up correctly.
There’s no such function in bbPress at the moment, nor do I know of any plugins that can do this. You could write a small javascript snippet to paste it in a preview border.
If you can’t even see what WordPress your running, it is a clear example that other stuff is running in the background.
Try disabling all plugins and using one of the standard WordPress theme.
The above mentioned plugin is not just added by Page.ly, a lot of other WordPress providers add custom plugins.
Not necessarily, the bbpress threaded replies plugin breaks down the pagination taking into account the “parent” replies. Here are the plugin options:
Enable threaded replies N levels deep
Break replies into pages with N top level replies per page and the first/last page displayed by default
Replies should be displayed with the older/newer replies at the top of the page
I don’t see an image?
Anyways, you’ll have to edit your forum in your theme.

Not sure if this will work on custom post types (bbpress being a custom post type) or if the plugin still works, but you could give that a swing.
I believe that’s already there both in bbPress and buddyPress.
I suppose that you would want threaded(nested) replies on the same page, otherwise the conversation would be all over the place.
Could be with your hosting as well, since some wordpress hosts add Must Use plugins that wreck bbPress, had the same issue with Page.ly.
bbPress doesn’t add any bb_ tables anymore. It sounds like none of your admins have the Keymaster role.
If you want to remap user roles, visit Tools > Forums and tick the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” box, and repair them. That will make all Administrators on that site also be Keymasters.
If you want to automatically map regular registered users to have a role in each site’s forums, visit Settings > Forums and tick “Auto role”.
Admittedly, the multisite integration right now isn’t ideal; you may end up building plugins to modify the exact behavior to suit your needs. If that’s the case, I’d love to read about your problem and solution, to see if there’s room for better default behaviors in bbPress core.
bbpress: 2.4
wp: 3.6
theme: tried with custom and twenty thirteen, same behaviour
Hi I was trying to use the new Core feature:
Enable threaded (nested) replies levels deep
However it breaks my topics pagination and shows the whole topic in a single page, is this by design or a bug? I have also tried (in a different setup) the bbpress threaded plugin which actually supports pagination + threaded replies, so I could choose that path, however, since bbpress is trying to integrate that feature I’d rather go that way.
Thanks in advance.
hi . im sorry to say that here , byt i want to develop bbpress in iran and i want to be your Representation . like wp-persian for wordpress .

Where can I download 2.3.X? I’ve looked all over the site, even searched…
WordPress Multisite 3.6
BBPress 2.4
Error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”
As a super admin, I can activate bbpress on each sub-blog and access it’s settings. If a blog admin tries to activate bbpress or access it’s setting they receive, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.
If I activate it for them I can see the menu’s on their dashboard for bbpress, but they cannot. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, deactivated all other plugins, etc. All the normal troubleshooting hasn’t worked. I checked the MySQL Database after uninstalling bbpress and none of the bb_ tables are there so I assume it completely removed.
I’ve been troubleshooting this for about 3 days now. Very irritating.
How to get ” target=»_blank» ” on the forum as standard?
I don’t want people to post links and be taken away from the site when they click em.
Want this to be standard that the links on bbPress forum will be a new window\tab!
How do I solve this issue?
Hey,
I have 2 problems with my bbpress:
1.
I want to remove the ropic/reply count next to each forum. How would I do this ?
These are the red crosses in the below image.
2.
I want to remove the freshness column on the main board (it can remain on the individual threads page)
This is the yellow cross in the below image.
If anyone can help with either of these problems! Thanks!

Good job guys, keep up the great work 🙂
I’m getting the same message – “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” – when I click on Settings in the plugin.
Also the Forums button does not show up in the left-side menu of my WP admin panel. Yet I have 7 bbPress widgets.
I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugin. When I first clicked “activate” I got the “You do not have sufficient permissions…” message. I clicked activate a second time, and the plugin showed as activated. But still no Forum button.
This bbPress.org site says easy instructions are provided, but my installation has no instructions. I was expecting to paste a shortcode to the forum on a blank page. I can’t imaging putting all 7 bbPress widgets in a sidebar.
I do not have the Page.ly plugin the previous poster said affected his/her bbPress. I do have a time.ly plug in (calendar) which I need. Why would plugins interfere with each other?
I need help with this because no other forum plugin is showing as tested with my version of WP which I believe is WP3.6, although I’m not able to find the version number anywhere on my dashboard.
Hi, I just started with a new website so all lastest versions, WP, Buddypress, BBpress.
Buddypress theme Klein, created in August 2013.
Key factor is prioritizing, rating, like topics.
looking for a BBpress and Group forums plugin I cannot find a plugin. (installed -buddypress rate forum post- but I do not see a button in the posts.)
Do you have a suggestion? Have a nice day, Anne
I am using bbPress Version 2.4 and whenever I try to create a new forum I get a message saying ‘ “cheatin huh”. I’ve been bbPress for a year or so and this was happening with the previous version 2.3 of bbPress too. Does anyone have idea how I can fix this?
Hi there —
I’ve searched the forums and think I’ve tried all suggested solutions.
I have this forum and it works fine: http://realworldsupplychain.com/forums/discussion/certified-supply-chain-professional/
But then when I go to the “forums” slug, I get an error page like this: http://realworldsupplychain.com/forums/
I tried different permutations. I tried creating a /forums Page and entered the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode. That didn’t work too. I’ve tried deleting/reinstalling bbPress, still no joy.
I don’t have any existing pages with /forums off my domain.
Any help would by much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
