For the topics archive showing all topics, you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] on a normal WordPress page.
“All replies” is slightly different. You could use the Recent Replies widget (https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/) if you had a page with a widget for the content but if you wanted a proper archive page, I think you’d have to make a new template for it. I think it’s one of those things that if enough people ask for it, it might get prioritised for future versions but that’s just a guess. If you are comfortable making page templates, I can post how I did a “latest posts” page (posts = new topics + replies).
I’m not sure what part of the menu you mean, I’m sorry. Do you mean how “support” (with a link to /forums) is highlighted above even when you’re on a topic page? They use a custom nav file:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-nav.php
If I were trying to replicate that, I would use jQuery to add the current-menu-item class to the top forums list item – not that it’s is the right way to do it, it would just be the easiest for me to do and to maintain. You’d need to add it to a javascript file in your template or make one and then include it. If you’re interested, I can post that code – you will need to add a custom class to your forums menu item too.
Sorry, I know that wasn’t too terribly helpful!
I had a problem with a user who couldn’t post from her iPad – it was an issue with tinyMCE and I ended up disabling it. Also, someone who used tinyMCE on a different platform had problems as well – he read about her problem on our forum and emailed me with the same issue.
Here was her initial report – I am not sure if it’s the same problem your user is having:
there’s something very odd going on with the cursor control when I try to input text using a stylus and the onscreen keyboard of my iPad2. If I touch the screen to move the cursor way from the latest word typed, perhaps to edit a phrase or correct a typing error, then the whole thing seems to freeze. To release it, I have to touch the key that moves the keyboard offscreen and then touch the screen again to place the cursor wherever I need to amend the text – the keyboard reappears, I type in the amendment and then the cursor is fixed at that point again. Every time I want to move around the text in any way, I have to repeat the keyboard-disappearance-and-touch-the-screen-to-place-the-cursor trick.
It wasn’t a problem across all iOS devices – I never did figure out exactly what combination of things on hers was causing it and I was going to disable tinyMCE anyway, so didn’t try all that hard to figure it out.
I don’t know what version of tinyMCE WP uses – I see that WP 3.9 is using tinyMCE 4 but not sure if it’s going to be 4.0.11:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18629341/cannot-type-into-empty-tinymce-4-area-on-ipad
I didn’t know what “post on the forum” means – after 30 years in IT support it could mean anything from the battery has run out to a very very specific set of circumstances, and anything in between.
Therefore it was only an attempt to see if your user had a bigger issue, like she couldn’t get forum access. If you don’t think it will help, and you will know your moderator, then ignore it, I just got it from a google, and given that no-one else had come back, thought it was worth a try.
It would be worth you seeing if this is a theme or plugin issue.
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
I have the same problem.
There is no BB Press on the side menu bar although it says it installed correctly.
On the side menu bar there is no Forum listed, so if I wanted to add a new test forum this is not possible

Hi,
I have just installed bbpress on my site, which is using the latest Twenty Fourteen child theme (only some simple css modifications.)
I want the forum listing page http://leopolds.com/discussions/ to look like this http://leopolds.com/bbs/ (created using shortcode).
There should be:
– No right-hand sidebar and centered content. I created a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and copied the full-width page template code to it. But it still looks different. Contents are not centered.
– No post-like forum listing. All forums I created are displayed under the usual forum listing section like posts.
Please help. Thank you very much.
probably a conflict

yes, it was an untested change, but now I know you can do it, I’ll change it later today to catch the other ones
Hi, I tried your “bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel” (downloaded from github), I have placed all files in my theme folder, but I have several problems:
1. On forum index http://batman.scifi-guide.net/forums you can see title of the last Forum on the very top.
2. If there is no topic in forum section, freshness link is displayed and heads to the Category
3. sub forums page looks very strange http://batman.scifi-guide.net/forums/forum/arkham-seria when compared to http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/forum/general-forums/
I am using latest WP and bbpress.
How to fix these issues?
Thank you.

Hey @ravisharma911,
I’ve been testing using Paid Membership Pro (free plugin) and it seems to be working so far. The integration doesn’t seem to be terribly tight, but it’s functional. You’ll need the Paid Membership Pro plugin along with Paid Membership Pro for bbPress. I hope this helps.
here is the link to the test site

This is a fantastic change, just what i was looking for, having recently moved from a Webwiz forum, I was looking to gove my users a similar experiance to what they had there, BUT……
My avatars are looking strange, and the Catogories are not lining up properly.
Most are correct, but some are different widths.
Please have a look at and let me know what I need to change. This is a test site, running WordPress 3.8.1 and the Klein 2.0.2 theme and bbPress Version 2.5.3. with Buddypress Version 1.9.2.
Thanks once again for the fantastic work you have done.
I definitely need to sit down and learn how to submit a patch on Trac. This is in my list of things to do.
I have a system* for keeping track of core changes on plugins – I’m pretty used to doing upgrades then adding back in my own changes.
*it involves notes to myself in shouty capital letters and exclamation points in the plugin description. It is not the greatest system.
I can see how that would work. I mean this:
Another idea would be allowing the user to add an RSS feed to his profile and get the latest content from that rss feed
I used this to make a widget to pull in rss feeds – this post was very clear and helpful:
http://perishablepress.com/import-and-display-rss-feeds-in-wordpress/
You could do something similar – make a new user meta field where people could put in their rss feed links, then, if they have filled that out, display it on their profile page somewhere or make a new tab for it (like “topics” “replies” etc).
Hello everyone, I gotta say you’ve done an awesome job with the SMF converter. I already test it and it seems to work perfectly. The only problem I have is that it is not converting the categories, is this just happening to me or is it that that feature is not included in the SMF.php converter file yet?
Thanks you all,
Abraham
weird, I’ll try it on my test site when I get a moment !
Hi all,
I have a function tied to the filter bbp_theme_before_reply_form_submit_wrapper and I noticed that this function was called twice every time I refreshed the topic page. This happens only when pretty permalinks are on (/%postname%/) and only on FireFox.
After investigating bbpress and WordPress source code I found out that the template_include filter (found in wp-includes/template-loader.php) is applied twice.
It only happens on bbpress pages, only on FireFox, only with pretty permalinks on.
I’m using WordPress 3.8 and bbpress 2.5.3
I’m using a custom theme but I already tested on TwentyThirteen and I experience the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!!
I should have included in my rant that aside from the issue of fonts I have no problems writing topics or replies 😉
Switch your theme as Robin points out and test with same version of Chrome your users would typically be accessing your site with.
I’d check to see if two plugins are conflicting or theme issue, or if it is server related.
Check other plugins

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
Come back and tell us if any of those speeded it. If so then you know the problem, if not contact your service provider as it should be a few seconds at most.
I’ve had a look, but I can’t find what is doing this – must be buried deep
If you keep toggling the | comes back, so my original code isn’t doing anything.
The codes resolves as
<span id=”subscription-toggle”>
|
<span id=”subscribe-2072″>
Click to receive an email notification when a member responds below
so it’s in the subscription part, but not part of the url.
‘…as I am not really firm in php code ‘ – your coding skills don’t look at all bad to me 🙂
Without testing, that looks fine to me – give it a go.
You could choose to just edit that file, but if you do, keep a note of what you changed, as bbpress updates will overwrite it – purists will say you should never alter core files, but as this is already a plugin, I am less fussy (expecting to be criticised for this!), but do know what you’ve changed.
To do it “properly” you’d need to either
create these as new widgets by copying the code to your functions file and renaming it.
create this as a plugin.
If you need help in how to rename come back, and I’ll make a list of what you need to change, but you’ll need to be a bit patient, as I have loads of queries os, and you’ll need to join a queue !
bbPress is tested against all the common browsers, so unlikely that it is a default issue (indeed mine works fine on all those browsers)
Could be any number of things, but as always start by eliminating plugins and themes viz ;

Try
function annointed_admin_bar_remove() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
/* Remove their stuff */
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wp-logo');
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'annointed_admin_bar_remove', 0);
(stolen from the wordpress support forum, so haven’t tested)
You’ve been busy with this site, hope it’s getting there !
First I’d eliminate plugins and themes

If still doing it – come back.
If you set them to wp role -no role for this site and bbpress keymaster and give them toolbar access then
They cannot access the dashboard, but do have tools at the top of the page, including new forum/topic/reply
When viewing any forum or topic/repy, they get “edit” at the top, so they can change all this stuff, and also can amend tools etc.
Set up a test user and see what you get !
