Hi,
The closest one I see is https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-date-time-change/
It seems to show ALL post types, but I didn’t test it at all. Use with care as it’s probably changing directly at database level.
Pascal.
Hi Pascal! Thank you for your answer. I tried the bbP Toolkit plugin but it didn’t work either.
I’m using the Enfold theme and have already tested 1) adding code to theme functions.php 2) using code snippets plugin which works fine with other active snippets 3) using code snippets after switching to basic theme for testing purposes. None of these worked.
Maybe some of my plugins is conflicting, I keep searching and update this if I find the reason.

Using latest versions of WP and bbPress. I’ve been searching and searching, is there anyone who could help me to shorten the freshness to show only year(s) OR week(s) OR day(s) OR minute(s) instead of the whole time stamp?
I found this https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#10-shorten-freshness-wording but it doesn’t seem to work properly. I don’t know if I’m missing something. I still got “1 hour, 20 minutes” etc. Is the code supposed to do this / is it possible to show only one time variable like this?
50 seconds ago
33 minutes ago
2 hours ago
3 days ago
1 year ago
etc
I would be so happy if someone could help! Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I started styling up a little support/development forum for my clients to use. It requires a little bit more customization but I have most of the basics down.
Wordpress – Latest
BBPress – Latest
Theme – Salient
Website Forum Page – https://wapp.guru/support/
I’m not using any short codes because this theme actually handles the default BBPress pretty well. I’m just letting the default post types do their thing with Yoast SEO attached. I’ve added a plugin that adds login, log out, and register buttons to the forum itself.
1. How do I set up my site to where people can log in with a WordPress / Gravatar account?
2. The profile page title does not show up and using the Yoast plugin I can’t find any way to target it. Any advice?

3. What’s a good plugin to use for things such as easy navigation for users? I have a few of the widgets in the hamburger menu on the top left. There’s a default login form but nothing regarding registration so I hard coded a link in. There’s a little login form, but no register form. I’ve tried (bbk style pack) but it seems to just place links in the main navigation menu which I don’t really like. It just seems like it’s difficult to navigate around.
Overall I know the forum is open source and requires a good bit of customization. I’m just looking for the simplest way without having to use 50 additional plugins that conflict with one another.
Thanks!
Thanks to both. I’ve done the asyncronous thing and run a test on dummy subscribers (without intruding on usual subscribers thanks to the wonderful “manage subscriptions” plugin).
So far so good. Messages received with proper To: field and no sign yet of any MDS errors.
Cheers, you guys are stars 🙂
I expected that only lead topic appears, but it does not. There is a lead topic with all replies.
That is how the shortcode should output. This is the description straight from the plugin for the function from the shortcode.
Display the contents of a specific topic ID in an output buffer and return to ensure that post/page contents are displayed first.
Is there any way how to display Lead topic only (no replies)?
The best way is to probably make a new custom shortcode. I will test this out later today and see if I can just use something similar to the single reply shortcode, but just use the content-single-topic-lead.php template instead.
That’s where i am getting confused. Let’s say i have the following public forums
A
B
C
and a group called private group 1 which has a private forum D.
When a non logged in user visits the site he correctly sees only A,B,C but if testuser1 logs in who does not have access to private group 1 goes to forums he sees A,B,C and D. When he clicks on Forum D it says its private.
Is that how bbpress Forums work?
Thanks,
Parag
MultiSite with bbPress plugin – the latest
One subsite dedicated to bbPress forum
I just want to know what “bbPress ready” “works with bbPress” means
What are some characteristics that make a “theme bbPress ready/compatible”?
What do the results imply when I search for themes for bbPress, what can I expect in general?
– If a WordPress theme is reviewed in an article and is said to work for bbPress
– If I search WordPress themes using bbPress keyword
I have been struggling with themes, like all bbPress newbies. I don’t understand the structure of bbPress – the layout, navigation, hierarchy and the pages it generates. It’s a new surprise with each theme I try. (Yes, I have used Theme 2015 to check things.)
Surprise Example:
theme Ample, forum looks great but the Home/Forums/… (bbPress breadcrumb navigation) “Forums” page renders all the topics with the heading “Archives”, I had to use Edit Menu to add a custom link to add that page to the WP menu, and I had created a page to list only the forums with the bbPress short code, but then it was not part of the bbPress nav, and it was unusable – too bizarrely rendered to try to correct.
I prefer not to have to get into editing generated pages and editing whatever to get the breadcrumb navigation/menus to correlate. Little comprehension, skill, or time.
Thank you
Hi,
Can’t test it now, but are you sure get_stylesheet_directory_uri() is returning /wp-content/themes/theme-child and not /wp-content/themes ?
Try to var_dump inside your function to make sure your function is executed
Pascal.
Hi,
Using the shortcode should only show the forums you are allowed to see.
As administrator/moderator you could see the private ones in the list.
As participant you should not be able to see it.
Did you test the access from a user in the ‘participant’ role ?
Thanks, Pascal.
It works for me if I passed the reply/topic post author’s ID, it doesn’t update immediately though. Running the repair tools for calculating each users counts one by one in Tools > Forums fixed that.
I think auto-updating the count is part of the latest dev version though.
Here is the code I used to test it very quick. I just placed this in loop-single-reply.php.
<?php print bbp_get_user_reply_count( bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ?>
Hi o.m.j,
CSS will not help you in this case, not even nth-child or things like
#bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination-count {
display: none;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination-count ~ .bbp-pagination-count {
display: block;
}
will not work because the pagination is inside different divs and other elements.
The only possibility would be somewhere going for a javascript like
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementsByClassName('bbp-pagination-count')[0].style.display = 'none';
}
(not tested yet) or go for some coding.
Pascal.
I have to apologize. It turns out that this ONLY happens in the latest version of the OneCommunity theme (theme forest). If anyone else is using 1.51 version they should be warned that this is limited to that theme. I apologize for not checking it in 2014, 2015, and other themes.
THANK YOU everyone for the help! 🙂
I am on the theme designer’s butt about this right now, as the support for that theme is not very good at all.
Hi @robkk
(somehow i managed to unsubscribe from my own topic…thus the delayed response). Thanks for your answer.
My forums are intended to be group forums for buddypress. And this is also the case in which I have this bug.
So in regular forums a user who has the overall moderator priviledge (set in user settings) can set tags. Works as expected.
In the case where a user has overall participant priviledges and I set a user in the group management setting (I suppose thats BuddyPress) to be moderator, then the user cant assign tags anymore although he could as a normal member. This is the behaviour I would consider a bug 😉
No I havent tried creating custom roles. I´m also not sure about the interaction with BuddyPress, thus I tried to get some help here first.
On my regular installation I have a role editing plugin, but not on the new test platform. Thus I would discard this as a cause for the bug.
I just ran the repair feature which updated 1 user on the test platform, but this didnt affect the priviledge to post tags. It just resets the overall moderator role of a person to normal participant (if the user has a WordPress subscriber role).
Regerding the other trouble shooting:
– Its a fresh installation
– With 2015 theme
– Only bbPress & BuddyPress as plugins
– I just ran the repair functions again, since this is a fresh install nothing has been updated according to the notifications from the repair functions.
I´m aware that this seems to be an issue between bbPress & BuddyPress and I´m not sure which plugin causes this bug. Since bbPress tags are disappearing I thought it might be bbPress.
Any further ideas how to approach this?
@dustywhite
Make sure to create a topic and test in a default theme from WordPress to see if the issue persists there too
Can you see the forums on the frontend of your site??
Are you saying you cannot see it in the backend in Forums > All FOrums??
While testing your theme everything works fine for me.
You can try some troubleshooting to see if this is hopefully not a cache issue, or see if a plugin is causing the conflict, or if running the repair tools in Tools > Forums helps.

WP= 4.3.1 bbPress= 2.5.8 Postman SMTP= 1.6.24
I’m learning WP by building a dummy site as a prelude to rebuilding camera club site. Work in progress at: http://www.snapsphotoservices.biz/
An important feature will be forums. I installed bbPress and all was good until I sent out test messages to selected subscribers. Despite the recipients getting the notifications correctly I was never the less presented with MDS errors: Mail Delivery System <MAILER-DAEMON@smtprelay08.hostedemail.com>Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Thinking I had server issues I moaned at my host who said “It’s not us…” As SMTP is said to be more reliable I added plugin Easy WP SMTP to the mix. It made no difference. I then tried Postman SMTP and created a new email address so that forums related to this and WP just dealt with original mail.
Strangely it’s this original mail that sent messages are referring to. Attached is a shot of the header a recipient sees. The Mochdre boot address is the address Postman is given and the snaps address is the default WP email address.
Hooray! It worked a treat, everybody gets the messages and I get no errors. Untill tonight when my inbox was filled with the old error messages.
Tried deactivating all plugins etc to no avail. How do I stop WP using its own snaps address when I’ve told SMTP plugin to use mochdreboot address? Or, if I create a mail account of noreply@snaps etc, what the heck happens to all the mail the server gets dumped with (assuming it would help)?
This is doing my head in. Please advise.
Hi,
I have 404 error when I tried to open my forums through menu “forum”, I have followed the guideline and all the posts about 404 error, no solution work for me.
Then I tried to debug but unfortunately debug.log didn’t appear under wp-content directory, and I have tried Debug Bar plugin, also not working.
My site is installed on my computer and I have checked the directory “www” of my site, there is no directory called “forums” or “forum”, but my forum is supposed to be “mysite.com/forums/forum/test-forum”. I am using Allegiant theme, any advice would be very appreciated.
Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol
I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.
Can someone help me with this please?

Thanx in advance 🙂
Hello
I’ve a wordpress site with WP 4.3.1 with buddypress 2.3.4 and bbpress 2.5.8.
In the forum we have topics which are being used as profiles i wanna use the forum ranks as extra avatar.
I also want to add en avatar which can be uploaded by the user it self.
How can i do that with this combination or it it impossible?
I’ve search for plugins but i couldn’t find any one compatible with the current wp version.

BBpress works fine, but from replies I can´t see about 1/2 inch on the right side. Testet with Firefox and Opera and Safari. (It works on Safari on iPhone.)
Please have a look.

Was the forum ever in a BuddyPress private or hidden group??
Did you ever use another private group plugin and make that group with the forum private?
Has the forum ever a private or hidden forum??
Does this only happen in your current theme?
Have you tried disabling all plugins except bbPress to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums.
Troubleshooting
Also I am testing with this theme and I am not getting this issue, I think there must be some setting somewhere that is making the forum not be visible in the search results.
Hey,
Thanks for your response.
I tried using the methods that the page you provided recommended but it didn’t seem to effect anything.
A little more details since I have been testing this.
I did a search not using the bbpress search function and the results were what I would expect them to be.
See here: http://citysocial.xyz/?s=jazz
If you compare it to the results from the bbpress search (http://citysocial.xyz/forums/search/?bbp_search=jazz) you’ll see that the searches are inconsistent.
I have a similar issue I think ..
I’m on bbpress 2.5.3 and wpress 4.3.1 set up as site, blog, and forum.
Regarding registrants roles, all Participants are Subscribers.
Yet some Subscribers have blank/no role for the forum.
Does this mean that a Subscriber doesn’t have access to the forum (if they’ve created an account via blog replay first) ..?
I’ve tested but can’t seem to determine the process. Sometimes I get a new registrant/user row but all fields are blank .. not trying to ask multiple questions here but want to include that if it helps diagnose what the issue is.
Thank you for any help!
