ok, it’s back to looking at this aspect specifically.
1. some themes only show the edit when you hover in the topic/reply content, this is theme specific not bbpress.
2. I know you have already tested the below but please try again as bbpress is tested with default themes. Try twentyten as I know it gives a firm edit box :
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.
So here is my latest addition to Onlijn.com.
Something to separate it more from facebook, and I hope in a positive way.
I can now promote members to authors, who can create content for the site through the front-end.
For authors there is a new link in their menu from which they can access their “Onlijn.com Blogger” page.
This is the actual Blogger page I just finished creating
with lots of thanks to the maker of the Front End Publishing plugin
Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.
By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !
But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :
Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to
http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/
which allows a user to edit
But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit
which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.
So participants see this link which they can’t use !!
Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.
did you actually paste this line
background-color: “the color you see”!Important;
ie the real words “the color you see”
This would be ignored as it’s not proper code
And if you put this into your child theme, and you’re no longer using your child theme, then it wouldn’t matter anyway.
And if you go to the forum, the background of the actual site under the top nah bar is a light tan. Then if you click on the test forum to go into it (though there aren’t any topics), you will notice it gets darker.
Not sure what ‘the top nah bar ‘ if you mean nav, then I can’t see any tan in my browser, or anything going darker?????
Put an image on photobucket or similar please
And if you go to the forum, the background of the actual site under the top nah bar is a light tan. Then if you click on the test forum to go into it (though there aren’t any topics), you will notice it gets darker. I actually tried this on more than one device, so I doubt it’s browser cache.

Basically, I made a bunch of changes, and for some reason, the changes won’t go back when I delete the changes. The worse part (and I have no clue how this happens) is that when you click on the “test forum,” the background to the whole site gets darker randomly. I have no clue how it did this, and after changing everything back to how it was before, it still does it.
Hi Lynqoid
Yes, the landing page is very much a work in progress.
It is also the page where I am testing my @media queries on so lots of CSS problems.
If I knew how XAMPP worked I would develop sites local first, but I am a total noob and have chosen to build whilst live.
Every page is still under construction, but I aim to finish before the end of February.
I am adding a few more functionalities, like member blogs, and as soon as they all work as expected I can finalize the CSS.
Thanks for the response.
P.H.
Hi,
When a user creates an account at http://thewritepractice.com/index.php?/register/JUZsw5 and then goes to the bbPress forum at http://thewritepractice.com/bw and posts a topic, there is an Edit link at the bottom of that topic. But when they click that link, they get this error message:
You are not allowed to edit this item.
A few notes:
- I’m on the latest version of WordPress.
- This problem persists when all plugins but bbPress is activated.
- This problem persists when the 2015 theme is activated.
I installed and activated the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin and learned that if I enabled “Edit others topics” for Participants, the participant could then edit their topic.
So in other words, bbPress thinks that the topic is being created by someone other than themselves.
Any ideas how this could be the case? It’s very strange…
Thanks!
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

@Killerrabbit2
I did contact Robin, his response:
“The only fixes (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/reply-subscribed/
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/) I have are the ones in the original email.
If emails are coming from wordpress, then they should be ok from bbpress.
Do you have any plugins that could be causing conflict, or maybe your theme.

Did anyone solve this?
This seems to work, just tested. Adjust after need.
Limit user upload by KB size:
add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'f711_image_size_prevent');
function f711_image_size_prevent($file) {
// get filesize of upload
$size = $file['size'];
$size = $size / 1024; // Calculate down to KB
// get imagetype of upload
$type = $file['type'];
$is_image = strpos($type, 'image');
// set sizelimit
$limit = 700; // Your Filesize in KB
// set imagelimit
$imagelimit = 7;
// set allowed imagetype
$imagetype = 'image/jpeg';
// query how many images the current user already uploaded
global $current_user;
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'post_date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'author' => $current_user->ID,
);
$attachmentsbyuser = get_posts( $args );
if ( ( $size > $limit ) && ($is_image !== false) ) { // check if the image is small enough
$file['error'] = 'Image files must be smaller than '.$limit.'KB';
} elseif ( $type != $imagetype ) { // check if image type is allowed
$file['error'] = 'Image must be ' . $imagetype . '.';
} elseif ( count( $attachmentsbyuser ) >= $imagelimit ) { // check if the user has exceeded the image limit
$file['error'] = 'Image limit of ' . $imagelimit . ' is exceeded for this user.';
}
return $file;
}
just tested and
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(" "), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
function rew_remove_avatar ($args) {
$args['type'] = 'name' ;
return $args ;
}
seems to do what is required
If you have done the following:
– disable ALL plugins one by one (not just ones you think could be causing it)
– activated a default theme
– used the repair tools
– re-saved permalinks
And it’s still broken, then the only next thing you can do is create a local installation of bbPress and test the reverse way, test it’s working, add your theme, test it’s working, add one plugin and keep going till it breaks.
Good luck with your site.
ok, you’re stating stuff that I’m finding hard to visualise/understand, and adding further info which again is not clear.
It’s not that you are not trying to explain, it’s just that as I can’t see your site, and issues with themes, plugins, and servers can be many and varied, there’s not a quick ‘do this’ answer.
de-installing and re-installing rarely fixes 🙂
So as I can’t see your site to start with lets eliminate theme and plugins
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.
Come back with the results – If that finds a fault it doesn’t mean you can’t use that theme or that plugin, just that we know where the issue is.
If that doesn’t fix try
Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – you don’t need to change anything – that just re-sets the links and sometimes fixes issues.
If not then also let us know your forums slug dashboard>settings>forums and look for the forums root slug.
Also let us know your permalink setting Dashboard>settings>permalinks
For years i have been using bbpress 1.0.3 and its works fine but now search engines creating error and mobile users are not able to browse. so i wanted to Import to latest bbpress forum plugin 2.5.4.

created test forum
and when i went to import from old…. NOTHING IS IMPORTED.
PLEASE let me know where i went wrong or missing something.
Hello guys,
I tried to search for this topic for some time, and I found a lot of answers but non of them was on the point for my simple yet maybe difficult task.
My client needs the forum to be visible only for users/some users.
Basically only the users should be able to see the forums while others won’t even know it exist.
Can someone please help me with on the point solution, and if non exist I would have to use some bypass, maybe even make my own php code – which I rather avoid.
Thanks for reading and helping!

Wordpress Version: 4.1
Latest bbpress version
website: http://www.gizmoids.com
I want to show my forum topics as post on my website. Not all, jest some of them which I will choose.

Hi,
When I receive an email notification, if I’m logged in and I click the link it takes me directly to the thread/post in question.
However if I’m not logged in I simply get:
Sorry, the page your requested could not be found, or no longer exists.
Running WordPress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
I have tested with the bundled themes and the issue persists.
Hi,
I am using Mesocolumn theme as it claims it is bbPress compatible.
I am having issues with the forum category widget. I have defined 4 categories but none appears in the widget.
Also, how do I add first-time bbPress registration to my forum page.
The link to my site is : http://www.ckingsensors.com/ckingforums/
I am using WP 4.1 and the latest bbPress version.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
Hi all I have the forum installed but I wish to include widgets to the right of it such as forum lists, latest posts etc
but my forum is the full width of my site, can anybody help me please.
I have no idea of coding or anything please can somebody help me as my forum looks ruubish and plain
Yes, so it is vith github and updates. I had some old code, testing something on my old website. Noticed on github changes for GD Attachments.
Now it works very nice.
Put this plugin in WP repository. It is very unique.
Disregard, I have discovered the issue. I was attempting to do a migration test run by importing the content to a local machine. The problem was that the host IP called out in my config file is a ServiceNet IP which my local machine doesn’t have access to. Using the public address wouldn’t work either because that is not what XenForo uses. So, I instead took the plunge and began migration from one of my network servers to the other, using the ServiceNet IP and was successful. Import appears to be working fine.
I’ve installed the latest version of bbpress and WordPress, and am attempting to migrate my forum from XenForo using the built in migration tool. I am receiving the following:
No reply_to parents to convert
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No super stickies to stick
No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
I’ve used my config.php file from XenForo to obtain the host, username, password, and dbname. I also used the prefix ‘xf_’.
Any ideas?
The “Edit” link is there in every post. For the test I just did the link takes me to the following address:
http://www.spatialhaze.com/wordpress/index.php/forums/topic/freqently-asked-questions/edit/
And the following error message is what pops up on the screen for every post I try to edit:
Not FoundIt looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?
It’s like the the edit link is pointing to a place with no data.
I will go through the links you provided to see if there is something I missed. BTW, I have removed and reinstalled the bbPress plugin twice with the same results.
Thanks,
mux
