searched for info about this problem but couldn’t find anything.
any ideas what could be the problem.

Hi,
Try this in a child theme or functions.php (I didn’t really test it, but this could be a way to do):
function casiepa_mention_gravatar() {
echo 'Upload a profile picture on <a href="gravatar.com">Gravatar</a>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );

Hi,
As everybody is volunteer, it depends on the time that developers and testers can spend on bbPress. Only when the product is considered ready, it will be moved to stable.
We are all hopeful that it will be soon.
Pascal.
latest topics is in a shortcode in my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10’]
Sorry respond so late, I was waiting for a response from the developers of the plugin, but I guess they are very busy and have not had time …
Smilies remain “disappeared”, but I found a temporary solution to this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-emoticons/ which by the way I liked it.
P.S. I have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress.
Cheers.
I need to display the latest topics and posts on the homepage. In the widgets of course I have, but on the home page can I be set:
only the most recent topics
only latest posts
Can this be somehow connected? To the homepage displaying the latest topics and the latest posts?
Me failed to find a way to, plugin, etc.
You advise me please, anyone?

Hi Graham,
What you describe is to me a plugin conflict, so you will have to perform the test and deactivate before I can help you any further. Start with the Sucuri Security as from the description this one COULD block.
Pascal.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Hi
I have just installed bbpress at my new site but the date on bbpress is showing as 1 January 1970 – though the dates on blog posts, and other wordpress pages and themes is all good only on bbpress it is showing the wrong date.
URL: http://www.techsmartaustralia.biz/mo/forums/
WP version: 4.4.1 Latest one
BBpress version: 2.5.8
Appreciate your help on this, how to resolve this issue. thanks
Sorry, I must have not set myself up to be notified of your reply.
I’m not sure I understand you. The forum is working, as in the links go where they should and what not.
So yes, well it was changed but in short yes, this link does work:
http://fubar-alliance.com/comms/channel/test/
The forum software says index is comms, and single forums is channel, but the index looks like it should have an image to represent the forum in question, otherwise the page is hard to read and understand…
If you go here: http://fubar-alliance.com/comms/
Notice the odd blocks that highlight when you find them, and have the mini round broken image.
WP 4.4.1 BBPress 2.5.8
Hi, I have just installed today your BBPress. I have generally set it up and then tried to start a new topic. I complete all the fields. Above the form it states I have all privileges and can write in html etc. But when I click the submit button, the details of the topic disappear and then a message saying there are no topics in this forum. Can someone advise the reason for this and propose a solution?
I have tried it with the latest 20/13 with the same result.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) There is no pagination for the forum archive page.
2) It is not limited to 50 forums, you can create as much as you want. It is just recommended that you use less than 50. You can use a filter to change the number to what you want. I haven’t tested it myself, so try it yourself in your child theme or functions.php:
function casiepa_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘casiepa_increase-forum-per-page’ );
3) To order, Edit your forum (Admin Panels > Forums > All Forums) and on the right you will find ‘Forum attributes’, play with the ‘order’ attribute.
Hope this helps,
Pascal.
I want to reset my bbpress data.
However, this is giving me a 500 error every time.
Any advice on how to fix this so I can clear my test data and do a fresh import.
Ouch, ok, let me have another look
EDIT: In my 2.5.8 install of bbPress, I see vBulletin3 in the list, so I would say give it a try on a testsite. Get WordPress, bbPress then Tools > Forums > Import forums

ok, so if you click the image, you get to the forums.
so if the url is
http://fubar-alliance.com/commo/channel/test/
the forums work.
Since you are already using the forums slug for your phpbb software, what is it set to in dashboard>settings>forums, and if you set that correctly it should all work
Hi Pascal,
Thanks for joining in. As Admin I’ve set up three WP accounts (admin; editor; subscriber) they all have unique ids, emails etc with email accounts on different servers.
I appreciate I’m accessing the accounts from the same ip (different machines) but when I built the test site the bbP installation worked fine. Just don’t know what I’ve done to break this installation.
I also started a new topic from one of the forums which I know all 113 users are subscribed to thanks to a clever plugin I found called p2 bbP Manage Subscriptions 1.2.0. So far no response from anybody.
Cheers to both,
Eugene.
That’s an interesting tool too, although it didn’t give me much advice that I am able to do anything about other than turning off plugins that were not being used. I did upload a copy of the forum to a test site so see if there was any difference compared to running it locally. It’s about the same really. I don’t know how this forum here is so fast, if I could get mine to be this fast I’d be happy. The whole site just seems sluggish, even the pages without the forum on it.
http://www.sky-disc.com/forums/
Most of that forum is private, but I opened up the Stuff For Sale section for testing without an account.
I would like to migrate my vBulletin v3 forum over to the latest version of bbPress. I tried the migration tool from bbPress but it says there is nothing to migrate.
Is vBulletin v3 supported? If not, is my only option to update to vBulletin v4 first? I would like to avoid that as the upgrade costs $200 and I wouldn’t be using the software.
Please help.
ok, it’s not a good idea to post user access details on the website.
I took a quick look, but please DELETE my username to prevent you being spammed.
This may be either a permalinks issue, or theme or plugin
so try
Permalinks
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings>Permalinks, MAKE A NOTE OF WHAT IT IS SET TO, then select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
If that doesn’t fix, Then
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Update:
There is one place, where bbpress shows up within the backend. On the dashboard there’s the little widget, which shows some information about how many posts were written and how many users are there … and so on.
SO: When clicking on (for example) hidden answers, it should open a site, where i could edit them, to show up or delete them, or whatever …
But there comes an error message: You are not allowed to edit this (something like that – as it shows up in german on my site).
Now:
In the past I also tested a few plugin to handle user roles. But all of them are uninstalled. Might there be a problem with an old user role, which is still active? Strange enough, as I always was set as the keymaster!?
Best regards
Torsten
Hi dear BBPress Community,
after a long while of thinking about using bbpress or not – i decided to use it. The thing is, that I had installed it once (a long while ago). And now I reinstalled it to configure and use it in combination with Buddypress.
But then – HEY – It is (although activated) completely invisible in my wordpress backend. I created a site called “forum” to see if there is something it puts out in the frontend. And yes – there are even my old test-forums shown, which I had created two years ago.
But still no chance to see or change any option in my backend.
Strange!
Can someone help, please? 😉
Warmest regards
Torsten
I use the traditional forum outputting as well as shortcodes in posts.
Now I want to differentiate the output format, but both the shortcodes and standard output use the template content-single-topic.
How can I test if the template was included from bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php so that I can apply different styling.
Hi, So yesterday, I installed bb press on my WordPress site. I finally created a forum, as well as a test topic. Knowing I wanted users to be able to create accounts, I went to settings>general and checked the anyone can create accounts box or something like that. but when I go to register, it is not sending me the email with a password. I can of course login with my username and password, or manually create accounts for who ever wants to use the forum, but that would be defeating the purpose of what I’m trying to do. I don’t know if something is not configured correctly in PHP mail, because I am fairly new with that. Any help would be much appreciated.
