Out of luck at the moment due to your choice of bbp_user_subscribe_link for your example.
See bbPress Trac Ticket #2418
Generally though take a look in the Codex, there are a few examples to help you out:
eg https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/
I think the plugin talked about membership form -, have you actually tried it?
Personally I just use cformsII plugin – google it and a video on how to set it up as its flexible but not very friendly initially – just create a form and then create a “register” page and put the short code in, and hook your login widget to it.
It does mean manual registration – ie you need to set each user up, but that lets me check who’s joining !
I feel sorry that no one ever reply you, just drop in to share my little experience, hope it helps:
My solution, so far, is to install one of the Tinymce enhanced plugins,
ie. Ultimate Tinymce or Tinymce advanced;
Then I insert the customized version of it into the forum post editor by installing this plugin:
bbpress enable tinymce visual tab
I’d say this is not a perfect solution, but at least my users are no more served with just a text/code editor.
Goodday 😉
This may look a bit messy but without spending a lot of time
In loop-single-reply.php (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)
change line 45 which uses bbp_reply_author_link
and use
bbp_get_reply_author_avatarto display the avatar and
bbp_get_reply_author_id
to get the id – you’ll then need to play with maybe
bbp_get_reply_author()
putting the id in the brackets
eg bbp_get_reply_author(bbp_get_reply_author_id )
should give you the username rather than display name
you’d then need to play with
content-single-topic.php for the forum lists (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)
Hei there.
I would like if people who wants to register at my forum, can type a lot of info in about themselves, insteed of just username and email.
Is there a plug in or code for adding extra features?
Second, i have a hard time getting the start new topic “button” to show, im using the formula [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] on my specific forum page – nothing happens!?
Hope for some help 🙂
Is there anything I can do to help?
@Stephen Thanks. I have moved to the forum to sub-folder for the time being.
don’t give up, I’m pretty sure if you find the conflicting topics and delete them the import WILL work just fine, I know it’s not perfect, but I think it is worth it.
@manuxel Thanks. I will look into it again once I finish setting up the main WordPress site.
Ok.
I’d suggest you create a page called “forums” and put the code
[bbp-forum-index] in it
You can then style this page to have no sidebar
Otherwise with widget logic, you would still have a sidebar, but could alter what is displayed in forums and your blog. As stated above, just add a widget to your sidebar, and use the codes above in the widget logic box
I can’t get the shortcode [bbp-single-view id="popular"] to work. Is my syntax incorrect?
How can i change bbPress to only show the ‘username’ instead of Nickname/First Last name?
I found some information, but it only allows changing type to name/avatar. With no control over the name being “Display name, Nickname, Username”: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_author_link/
<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 14 ) ); ?>
I am using “BP Display Name” to do this on BuddyPress pages, and have hardcoded it on other templates. But just need to sort it on the bbPress forum to make it consistent across the site.
WP version: 3.7.1
bbPress version: 2.4.1

Thanks very much for your help.
i want to use bbpress forum in my native language telugu
but my native language not listed in
http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
1 – The import process seems stuck at 5K++ post or topic something. No moving and no error reported.
one or two topics were causing the interruption of the import. Why? I do not know
This does happen and I have no idea why, I have had it happen a few times and have tried debugging what is happening and editing the database directly changing the text and it still happens. This is a truly mysterious and at this stage can only wish it didn’t happen 🙁
In your wp_options table, there should be an entry with the key ‘_bbp_converter_query’. It will indicate what the last attempted converter query is, which will narrow down the scope of your search to figure out what may have gone wrong.
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = "_bbp_converter_query"
Can anyone show me how to create a custom list of a forums topic for a section on my homepage? Essentially I’m looking for the bbpress equivalent of this:
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?> - <?php the_time('M Y'); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
It would also want to filter by forum and sort by “Latest” and “Hot” (Hot being most “Voices”). Basically mimicking the “(bbPress) Recent Topics” Widget.
You should see Starting conversion in seconds.
Next Converting users in another second if your converting your users.
Next ‘Converting forums` in seconds if not converting users.
By default everything is done in chunks of 100 records and this should never really take much longer than 5 seconds per chunk at which point you will see the converter message progress to Converting topics 300 - 399 then Converting topics 400 - 499 etc, you should never be far away from a new message informing you of the status of the import.
I’ll try to get some more docs into the ‘import screen’ for bbPress 2.5 to give people a heads up on what they should expect to see.
As you are on a dedicated server this topic might be worth checking out on ‘speeding it up’
phpBB Import speed
Firstly though lets get it started…
Via FTP grab a copy of your SMF Settings.php file and open it up in a text editor.
/public_html/mywebsite/smf/Settings.php
In that file something that looks like this:
########## Database Info ##########
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'mydb_name';
$db_user = 'mydb_usernam';
$db_passwd = '123456789';
$ssi_db_user = '';
$ssi_db_passwd = '';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
These are the settings you need to use on the bbPress importer.
ps. Thanks @manuxel for helping others out here with the SMF importer 🙂
Hi,
I just want to ask if there’s a php code or bbpress codex or hooks that can help me in adding an upload media or attached image in the bbp_the_content?
I really don’t want to use plugin for this feature.
Thanks. I am hoping for your kind response soon.
Hi,
I need to disable the avatar of groups of Buddypress… this is possible by editing the code or installing a plugin?
I do not want to see the group avatar.
I await answers.
Regards,
@ Federcolombo
ok, I can see your problem
Not sure why the plugin isn’t picking this up – would be worth a post on the authors support site
http://veppa.com/blog/forums/
However lets also try a different approach.
Download “widget logic”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
This plugin lets you specify conditions for when widget items are displayed.
You would then put all the widgets for both the blog page and the forum page in one sidebar
Against each of these you then specify whether you want it to appear on the forum page, on any page with a sidebar that is not the forum 9ie your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.
you do this by putting the following code in the widget logoc box that you will see appears against each widget
For a forum sidebar you put : is_bbpress() ie is this page a forum page
For any other sidebar you put : !is_bbpress() ie is this page NOT a forum page
For any item to appear on both, simply leave the logic blank.
Give that a try and come back and let us know how it works
Hi, open your css and found line 2317, you have this:
#content-area ul li, #content-area ol li {
margin-left: 50px;
padding: 5px 0;
}
Remove margin-left or set it 0
Hello i really need help! I have Buddypres (1.8.1) and bbpress (2.4.1), and now Participant get error message: ERROR: Your reply cannot be created at this time. when trying post new topic in forum or replay to post.
Everything was fine in this morning until how i think in groups someone make “Group forum” after that none can post anything accept Administrator.
PLEASE HELP!
Im having a really hard time finding any information about creating unique titles. Everytime I search for it, I get lead here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-count-plus/
In addition to unique titles, I was hoping to find a plugin or code that will mimic other forums with options for topic and comment counts per user. Maybe even some handy little badges that will show under their avatar.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
When looking at the settings, I see that I can “customize” the forum index with shortcodes. I did that, and when its just its own page, then it works. When I try and change the settings to display that page as the forum index, it overwrites it with a weird looking search result instead of the index.
All I want it to do is to display the forums that I have, and to be the forum link that is displayed when you go into a topic.
Here is the default root:
Here is the page with the shortcode (and not yet assigned to the forum root):
Here is the forum root changed (with the same page):
First download the script and then upload it to
/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/
Then you can follow the instructions HERE
Hello,
i´m using shortcode [bbp-forum-index], but not all forums are shown.
I have ober 130 forums but after 126 no other forum is shown.
Why? Does anybody has an idea?
Kind regards
Oh.. I see.. I thought this was implemented already. Thank you for your help Stephen.
I’ll paste my codes here if ever I made it. 🙂
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the response. What I’m trying to say is in the user profile “participant” he/she will be the only one who can see his pending posts and not everyone.
Sorry for the term but what I meant there is hook not shortcode.
Thanks.
No, there isn’t, the shortcodes included with bbPress -> https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
You can append ?view=all if you are a moderator or keymaster in various places though.
