I was running into the same issue, here’s what I did:
I copied:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
into the root of my theme folder:
/wp-content/themes/(YourTheme)/form-topic.php

I renamed the file to:
form-topic-home.php

so I can call it separately and makes changes to it without having an impact on the normal add topic form.

In my new file I removed the if statements for testing if the page is a single forum or a topic edit, my form is going into a modal on my homepage, so neither of those will ever be necessary.

Starting at line 12 I deleted this:

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() ) : ?>

	<?php bbp_topic_tag_list( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?>

	<?php bbp_single_topic_description( array( 'topic_id' => bbp_get_topic_id() ) ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Next on what was line 28 I changed
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) : ?>

The original code does a lot of checking if the user can edit forums, if we’re on a single page or if this is one off page, we’re really only looking for the current user’s ability to post topics, and we’re given that (inside that same function actually)

At the very bottom of the file you’ll also want to delete this:

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

as it’s the closing div tag to the stuff we cut out at the top of the file.

Now where you were going to use the short code, call a template part instead, and you should be square.

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic-home' ); ?>

Upgrading with WordPress 3.6, admin screens all show this error:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

What is the impact?
What is the fix?
Thanks

These are being taken from your site’s CSS (non-bbPress side):

ul ul li:before
ul li:before

Those are the culprits. Add this to your bbPress.css file:

ul ul li:before {
    display: none;
}

ul li:before {
    display: none;
}

Or remove them altogether from your site’s CSS if you don’t need them.

Copying the RAW Paste data worked for me:
1. Rename existing group.php file located here as group.php.old:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress

2. Open notepad and paste the code located here: http://pastebin.com/nfYvigz4
3. Save the file and upload it to the directory above.

I’m now able to create groups. Hopefully things stay inline during the next BP or bpPress update.

How deeply integrated is 2.0+ version of BBPress?

Will I be able to use WordPress functions (ie get_post_meta()) in bbpress?

For some reason, I can not get rid of those damn bullets.
http://www.oostuudio.ee/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/65-bbpres_fkn_bullets.jpg
(I added red marks so you can see the problematic dots/bullets)

I am using bbPress 2.3.2 (installed as plugin via WP admin)

I wasted hours with FF and Chrome dev tool but did not get anywhere.

I am no css master but I was expecting this to fix the problem:

#bbpress-forums ul {
list-style: none outside none;
}
#bbpress-forums li {
list-style: none outside none;
}

I was wrong. It has no effect at all.

So, I need your help to fix this because I can not launch a forum, looking like this: http://www.oostuudio.ee/foorum/f/poletamine/

Thank you

bbConverter is out of date and no longer updated.

bbPress includes a phpBB importer and details on how to use it and any phpBB import issues can be found in these links:

[Stephen Edgar]

I have myBB importer ~75% complete, hopefully I’ll get it uploaded to bbPress later today.
(Categories, Forums, Topics, Replies & Users working 100% with outstanding issues being some BBCode conversions and user passwords)

Running bang up-to-date WP Multisite, Buddyperss, BBPress.

No preview available, site still under maintenance.

I need to remove group forum posts from showing up within the forum index.

Seems quite strange that you can set up private groups with their own forums, but all their forum post activity shows up for all to read on the [bbp-topic-index] page? Not so private?

Am I missing something that is staring me in the face or is this seriously just how it works? If the latter is the case, I’d be very grateful if anyone could please assist with a workaround of some description.

I’d like to eliminate all group posts from showing on the forum index page listing if possible please.

Regards….

[dasped]

Good day,

I seem to be having an issue with page titles not showing up.

Build all current and latest. WP Multisite – Buddypress – BBPress.

To be clear, this page’s title is <h3 id="post - ***">Troubleshooting</h3>

This is what I’m missing, any reason this should occur please, or something I’m missing.

Thanks.

@pinkishhue I hadn’t thought of that, thank-you! Going to give it a quick go now.

Is there a converter from myBB to phpBB? You may be able to convert it to phpBB and then convert that to bbpress

(I’m quite new to bbpress so apologies if this is the wrong answer, this is just what I have seen recommended in similar circumstances)

[joedawson]

And there has been plans to add it prior to my thread, any updates on this? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-data-from-other-forums/

[joedawson]

Hello,

I’ve been doing some searches for a plugin to import all data from myBB to bbPress. I now know that the bbPress core itself can import other forum platforms but not myBB?

Is there a third party plugin that someone knows of that can help me or of this is possible already with bbPress and I’ve overlooked it somewhere?

Many Thanks
– Joe

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

Did you follow these directions?

You don’t need to use the blog of WP. Just use the bbpress plugin. The current BBPress version is not standalone.

[Ipanema]

Thank you Kannued. I’m going to try that.

I accidentally deleted my question which was:

Hi,

I just intalled bbPress, but there is a new line now on top of the website. It’s like it increased the top margin of the Website. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

[amitlin96]

I do want a user system, just not that of a blog, i need that of a forum.

I just dont want a blog, im not going to use it, and also, arnt there anti spam plugins for bbpress alone?

[kannued]

Follow this directions

[kannued]

Using wordpress is not overkill. Think of wordpress as an overall operating system where you have registration and login abilities, different roles for different users, spam filters like Wangguard. Then you use bbpress as a plugin for your forum.

How can you not want the user system if you have a forum?

WP is not overkill.
