@amalsh
I’m having this issue: when I post in the forum (using the editor), HTML tags appear in the posts (topics and replies).
sorry for the late reply.
you are just using the tinymce/visual editor buttons right?? And this issue only shows for what roles??
or are you copying text from a different website and pasting it into the visual editor content??
i tried testing it out earlier it worked for me as a participant , i have to check more because i was probably messing with the capabilities of my users.
@davelr1
you can probably use strip_tags() if you are going that way.
@dc4x_admin
I will test it out a bit more
Sounds great, I look forward to testing it out. Thanks for sharing 🙂
this CSS transforms every letter in a capital letter.
Actually thats a strange thing, I don’t have the CSS class “a.bbp-author-name”.
I made some small changes in the loop-single-reply.php, but even when I am not loading the modified .php file, the “a.bbp-author-name” class does not appear.
Here is the link to the forum: http://community.riseinnature.com/forums/topic/testtopic-3/
In this example, the “J” of julian and the “L” of tarnvogl are actually written in capital letters.
Maybe it is a wordpress issue, because when I add a user manually in the backend, only lowercase letters are allowed. But if you try to register on the front end, it will accept names with capital/uppercase letters. Feel free to create an account with capital letters and try it for yourself.
Thank you for helping me with this 🙂
Robin… before I got your suggestion regarding rewrite rules, I had begun to suspect corruption of permissions in my forum database entires. I created a new test forum and it worked OK.
So, for each empty forum I deleted it and created a new one. For each forum with topics, I created a new one, i.e. Forum A new, reassigned the topics from Forum A to Forum A new, deleted Forum A and then renamed Formum A new to Forum A.
This has cleared my problem and I can now view the forum topics as Testuser2.
How the problem arose, I do not know. There have been WordPress or bbPress updates recently and possibly something did not upgrade properly.
There remain two issues:
The keyword PRIVATE: is shown twice in the display of the forum contents.
If the forum is empty, a blue box correctly says This forum is empty but then a yellow box says Oh bother! No topics were found here!
In the latter case, I suspect a coding error whereby the empty forum is spotted but the code still tries to display the topics.
Do I still need to reset my permalink as you suggest?
Meanwhile I shall start re-instating my plugins etc.
thanks for your support.
Firstly, thank you for responding.
I have disabled all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress.
I have switched to the theme Twentyfourteen.
I still have a problem. Since simplifying as above, I have, signed in with admin rights, created a new topic in an otherwise empty private forum called ‘Domestic Water’. As that user I can read it etc.
I then log out and back in as Testuser2 who has site role of Author and Forum Role of Participant. When I select the forum ‘Domestic Water’ from the list in the side bar I get a screen as shown here.
Note that Private is repeated twice. The blue box is correct, saying there is one topic in the forum.
But I then get a yellow box “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
Your further advice will be very much appreciated.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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
The footnotes don’t work within the forums (even for me, as the admin).
Without taking time to install this plugin and test, I cannot of course see what the above means .
There are thousands and thousands of plugins and bbpress cannot be tested with all 🙂
If they work together then they are compatible, if not then probably not ! There may well be a way to make then work together, but you’d need to find someone to carry out this work. You could try the footnotes plugin author.
And, on a larger note: Does bbPress, by default, isolate itself from other plugins?
Sorry but I don’t understand your question.
forums should be fully functional for logged in users, so your issue should not be there !

What’s the easiest way to edit my forum home page to display the most recently updated forum topics?
Hi!
I am planning to create a new forum website using bbPress. I want to change / add / remove topic headings. Since, I am yet planning I will use latest versions of WordPress and bbPress
eg;
instead of : Topic, Voices, Replies, Freshness
I want : Posts (Number of replies to the topic) Views (number of views) Posted By (Name /username of topic starter) Latest Reply (latest reply by + minutes ago)
I even want to add a few more headings like catagories
Thanks a lot for the help 🙂
Hey Rob,
Yes – thank you. Dan has been very helpful. At this point, I think it’s becoming more of a preference question … as I am struggling with what path to take.
We definitely already have sitewide forums w/ vBulletin, so we could easily just keep WordPress as our blog and use site-wide forums w/ bbPress. The thing I feel like I’m missing there is the added sense of community that can be built via the “add friend” type thing you get w/ BuddyPress.
Beyond that, my biggest question is the use of Groups in BuddyPress. My concern I expressed in the other thread was that you can get the discussion happening inside a group (via the comment/status system) that is NOT part of the forum, and vice-versa. So, discussion is not happening in the same place. The big idea we had was to bring it all together.
I suppose the simplest idea would be to not enable groups, and use site-wide forums … but if not using Groups, I’m not sure what other big plus there is to BuddyPress.
Again – I realize at this point, it’s all subjective and preference. I’m enlisting some beta-testers to hit our staging site from our existing forums to see what they like/dislike.
Actually I already added ‘style’ to ‘span’, I added the paragraph ‘p’ as you mentioned but still the same issue!
Here’s the part of the HTML page that is treated in the function but still HTML tags appear in the post:
<p>
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color:
<a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow" href="http://localhost/wordpress/forums/search/?bbp_search=%23000080">#000080</a>
;”>
<em>
<strong>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">test</span>
</strong>
</em>
</p>
Again, have I missed something?
Thanks for your help
Hope
Hi there!!
I would like to show the total post count for each user, both in their member profile without login also (below the username), and below their name whenever it appears in posts, comments, Forum Topics and Replies, activity streams, etc. Something like this:
Vignesh 50 Posts
10Forums
I want to view in this page http://test06.aachicargo.com/members/
This would be a way for everyone to easily identify the most frequent posters to the site. Anybody know how to do this? Please help Me..
Advance Thanks
its all self explatory really.
you can test them out by creating a test page and putting each shortcode into it to see what it does.
if you need help finding ids of bbPress post types install this plugin, then look in the certain post types section.
like say forums , you go to the WordPress back-end and go to forums> all forums and you will see all the forums post id to use for these shortcodes. It would be close to the same procedure for topics and replies.

When installing bbpress I am not directed to any setup page – instead, I am told that I do not have permissions to see that page. I am logged in as the administrator and running the latest version of wordpress. I can see that the plugin is installed, but there is nowhere for me to make edits and set it up. I have even tried heading to the /forums page, on my site, but nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks Robkk for your help! I tried the mentioned code but apparently it’s not working properly, I don’t know why! For example, I’m still having:
<span style=”text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;”>test
Although “span” is supposed to be treated in the code.
Have I missed something?
Thanks for your help
Hope
first change the PHP function to this, it bugged me that its not lowercase.
function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
$replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
$bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
$bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
Thats CSS in the topic you linked to , put it anywhere you can put custom css
a child themes style.css file
a custom css plugin
this is basically what you would need in your code.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-reply-content {
background: #f8f8f8 url(images/team-badge-head.png) top right no-repeat;
}
you will need an image in your child theme in a folder called images though for what they have.
you can test it out by just changing the background color for the users.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-reply-content {
background: blue;
}
there should be classes inserted for every role
.keymaster = Keymaster
.moderator = Moderator
.participant = Participant
.guest = Guest

pagination breaks right now with threaded replies.
the patch here fixes it though , will need some more tests before it goes to core
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
anonymous posts should work with the voice count.
i just tested it on my test site and it seems to work.
you can try recalculating the voices in each topic by going to tools > forums > repair forums in the WordPress back-end.
there is a couple of patches here , you can see if the latest patch fixes your issue.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782
make sure to take a site backup before applying a patch.
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
if it still doesnt fix your issue , then you might as well restore your site from the backup then wait for a newer patch.
if you really need this fixed soon , i suggest you post a job and hire a developer jobs.wordpress.net/
it worked for me, and just so you know bbPress uses some of the WordPress comments code for anonymous posting.
link to a topic i can test on and make sure you have the code placed.
the way i tested it is i tried normal anonymous posting when logged out of my test site inputted my email and name then posted a reply and topic. by default the name and email should populate automatically for my next reply and topic.
with my code it should display empty text inputs even when you already made a reply or topic.
on my test site i tested twentyfifteen and it worked fine.
the author link lead to the profile like default.
did you do any kind of import on your site??
Thank you, Robin!
Once I get my test environment set up, I will try this out!
In my case this is not really happen after 2.5.7 when i was testing around i use to downgraded one by one till 2.5 version and in all versions this problem exits..
Not sure but i think bbpress database tables has some problem in my case just guessing not sure
Any idea if some bbpress developer can help here?
