Hi, this was a good lead. My host had another recepie for .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/
RewriteRule .* - [CO=wordpress_test_cookie:WP+Cookie+check:%{HTTP_HOST}:1440:/]
It worked at once.
Thx
Hi Pascal,
Thanks for answering so quickly. I installed WordPress, then I added my Weaver Xtreme Pro template, and then I added bbPRess.
At this point I am not using any plugins that deal with members’ roles or anything like that. It pretty much plain vanilla settings except for the settings.
I do have the settings set for auto role but it doesn’t appear to be saving the “Participant” role that I preset.
So far we are still in testing mode so we haven’t promoted the site to customers yet. I just noticed that the logins that I was creating didn’t have the forum role specified in the profile.
One of the issues is that someone subscribes to the site, they get the subscriber role in WordPress but that doesn’t automatically give them a forum role. Most of the people that we are dealing with are “low tech” so If they have to log on and give themselves a forum role that will make things difficult for them. Is there a way to automate the process?
Thanks again,
Andy
Thanks Pascal – tried adding that as custom CSS – as you can see on the right hand side of this post http://casteofassassins.com/forums/topic/test-topic – the overflow is still being hidden on the right hand side of the post?
It’s a gaming site – can make one forum dummy and make it public with a test post?
Welcome, Killer
I’ve created a test forum and put in a dummy post – the others are restricted access atm but in the test forum you should see a post that is cropped
I don’t want to import from my yahoogroups
Ok
I just want the feature of having an email address that will post to the forum subscribers without having to go into the website.
This is the only post via email plugin for bbPress I think. I am not sure if it does exactly what you are wanting by sending the message to the user they are replying to as I never really tested it out.

@johnjamesjacoby Thank you for your support.. I did what you suggested but But whenever I corrected some of the characters I would go about 10 topics further and it would stop again. I also tried to delete some records altogether. But no improvements then. However, As a last try I have installed the bbpress in test folder on the live server and started the import process from the live Database. So far I have imported all the users (~17,500), forums (~30), topics (~225000) and running on ~350000th reply in the last 2 days. I am not sure how it worked. But the same DB export did not work on my local instance. However, I have to bear with the time it takes on the live server.
On the side lines if this import completes Do I have to invite all the users to re-register in the forum ?
Hi,
I didn’t test, but I suppose it’s sufficient to remove the delete_xyz capabilities from this role to remove the trash and the moderate_comment for the spam ?

Hi – I am new to BBPress. I am hoping some one may be able to assist with the page formatting of the forums/category/topic pages et etc. I am trying to get it as close to this:
http://dtcdc.freeforums.net/
as I can.
With bbpress style pack I was able to do alot without having to mess with any code of files -I do not have alot of coding experience or working within the server on files.
Right now – I have the following short codes in a Divi Page – this is my Forum Index Page:
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1106’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1130’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1154’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
1. This is giving me the “boxed” look for each separate forum I want – I can not figure out how to get the header title of each forum changed. Where it says “Forums, topics,posts, freshness” instead of Forum – I would like it to state the name of the forum I have created (like the first one be “Community Forum”, then the 2nd one would be “Platinum Members Forum” & the 3rd “Diamond Members Forum”).
These would not be links to anything. Just the forum title. So that when an actual forum below in the “box” is clicked on it goes straight to that forum page showing all topics under that forum.
(I hope I am using the correct terminology here.)
2. I can not get the description to show up underneath each category on the forum index page. Is the only way to achieve this to do something to the files in wp?
3. The topic pages (submit & view) have a big line running down the right side of the pages down into the footer – is there anyway to remove that line and make the pages full width or a custom width?
Divi Theme does provide an Epanel where I can put css coding in without having to change any files. If anyone has any ideas how to achieve these changes (hopefully without altering files) I would appreciate the help & guidance.
Thanks!
Interesting it would usually be having reply threading on that could cause a css like issue, but yours is the opposite.
Can you link to your site to a topic with reply threading off so I can see what could be causing the issue. It could be some CSS related issue.
You can test to see if this still happens with another theme activated too.
I tested out the patch and it works pretty well for a custom user role I created. I just used the tutor role mentioned in this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ and it worked when I created and switched to that test user.
Make sure to not touch the core plugin files again. This was a simple thing to do which is not bad, but something else might cause further conflicts.
Hi Filip-T,
What I know is that forum moderation is being reviewed and improved a lot for v2.7 of bbPress. For now there is standard moderation and blacklisting as described here: https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/
I’m not aware of other plugins then the one you have found, but it seems to have some issues with the latest WordPress/bbPress.
Pascal.
I’ve seen a ton of topics regarding not being able to see the forums at all, but nothing quite like my situation. I can see the top level for my forums, and it is listing topics & replies but I can’t get to them. Although I’ve imported the bbpress templates and css to my template directory, I’m unable to get past the top level for my forums at:
STARFLEET Discussion Forums
When I click on a category, topic, reply, I get a blank like this:
http://sfi.org/topic/heres-a-test-topic/
They do work when I switch to the default template, so is there a step I missed with the template? Is there code that needs to be added to the template header? Something else?
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.
