Topic: Threaded, hierarchal display
I am considering a move to bbpress but am very concerned about keeping the general functionality of my current forum at http://surveyorconnect.com. It uses a threaded, hierarchal tree-style forum software and my users love it. A little backstory: an industry magazine used to have a similar forum, then switched to a newer format and nobody liked it — so I started a new forum using MyLittleForum (http://mylittleforum.net) and told a few surveyors about it and in short order, it was very busy and respected in the surveying community. Many of the users are “old school” and so they like this format. But I also want to attract a younger crowd, who I assume would prefer a more modern format.
What I’m really hoping for here is that bbpress would allow me to provide BOTH formats on a user-by-user basis, so they can select which format they’d prefer. Also, one of the features they like about the current site is the little bubble next to the date in the topics list that gives a preview of the latest post within that topic. If we lose that feature, I won’t be heart-broken, but it would be nice to have something like that in bbpress, if possible.
There is so much I could do with my forum that MLF won’t allow me to do. Probably the biggest thing is the social aspects — allowing people to “like” and share posts, etc.
I’d love your thoughts, opinions and references to anything that might help me make the decision to move to bbpress. Thanks!
My understanding is that there is no “New Posts” functionality for BBPress. Previous support requests on WordPress.org have gone unanswered, and I do not see a plug-in that allows this. I reviewed the documentation and I’m not sure how I could construct my own view with this ability.
What I would like to know is how to craft a forum view that aggregates all the forums into one just like when you click on “Support” at the top of BBPress or Buddypress website. Whenever a new reply is posted, it puts the thread back on top. The GDBBPress tools only has the ability to sort topics when they were first created.
Recap, I would like assistance on constructing a view like the one that we normally use here on BBPress.org or Buddypress.org when clicking the “Support” button.
Thank you,

@TearstoneTopic: Delete or Rename Forum?
I created a test forum when setting my site up but now wish to delete or rename it, how do I do this please? (Don’t want to delete the whole thing, just this one forum)
My office team is complaining that they can’t save topics in draft.
I thought it must be a bug, but tracked it down to very deliberate code in topics.js.
jQuery( document ).ready( function() { jQuery( '#misc-publishing-actions' ).find( '.misc-pub-section' ).first().remove(); jQuery( '#save-action' ).remove(); } );I can’t find any reference to problems in the forums — is this just a policy choice or screen simplification? Or is there a reason why I should not just comment out that code?
I’ve tested the topics listings and statistics with the code commented out and saving drafts and all appears to perform correctly.
Some guidance from developers would be much appreciated.

bbPress works fine, but
when I tested writing topic with a Participant account, I can delete my own topic
how can I fix the problem?
Use WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.5.3, just installed, theme twenty ten. I followed your instructions on your website. After installation I made a page named Forums, after that I made a forum and a topic, both as test. The test is no more visible in the website as I removed the test. The test forum I had placed as subpage at the forums page. As far as good. When I opened the forum in the website I saw in the top of the forum page I see the name of the forum and direct thereunder the navigation line: home>forums>name of forum>subscribe, the following line ‘This forum is empty'(light blue background), the following line Viewing topic 1 (of total 1). Under this topic, the line: Viewing topic 1 (of total 1), thereunder the line: Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content, thereunder a field to bring in another topic such as I’m writing in now.
I’m not a professional so I don’t know how to recover this problem. regards, Robert
Hello,
after update WP + bbPress plugin to the latest version I got empty response error on All Replies page in administration (http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply). PHP error log shows nothing.
I have no idea what’s wrong.
Thank you for help.
Hi..im trying to create a forum with bbpress…i also have buddypress installed…..however, I notice when testing the forum, that all the “replies” to any forum post for some reason seems to change the avatar to a slightly smaller size, and also the Role Names seems slightly misaligned too.
The odd thing is, the First Post looks fine..it seems that this is only occurring to the “replies” that follow after the first post.
Hopefully someone can understand what I mean & make sense of this….I would appreciate any response that would help.
Thanks!
A little background, I have about 0 knowledge of WordPress and especially BBPress. The reason I am here is I am trying to help get some basic forms working that were setup an possibly messed up by a previous admin who is currently MIA. I have figured out my way around WordPress but am at a loss as to why the posts do not display within the topics. Any help would be appreciated.
This is a link to one of the forum topics that had a few post/replies but are not visible.
http://home.outlandcraft.com/forums/topic/test/I recently migrated a large forum from another platform. The forum is quite large (1M+). The issues I am having is that opening individual forums is slow and opening threads is pretty much the same. 20 seconds – 30 seconds sometimes. I am running the latest bbpress and the site runs on a dedicated server and had no issue with the previous forum platform.
It is truly frustrating. I would truly appreciate if someone can point in the right direction of what to look for?
Hi,
I just installed bbPress and people that sign up are given Partipant Role. They can read forums but cannot reply threads or post topics. If I set them to moderator they are able to do so.
Please help
Topic: bbpress & Vimeo in topics
Hi All, I am a bit confused and I need some advice. I have a bbpress forum and I want to place vimeo video in the topics and replies. Is there a plugin (or plugins) that allow me to use shortcodes. Viper’s does not seem to work.
I can directly add the vimeo url to the topic and it seems to work. Is that the best way to do it? Shouldn’t I be using shortcodes instead.
I am running the lastest WP 3.8 and the latest bbpress.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Topic: bbPress Test Data
Hey all!
I have recently been developing with bbPress and created myself a plugin for inserting test data into a local WordPress install. Be careful when using this plugin as it does a lot of writing to the database and runs the bbPress repair tools too.
- Adds a forum with nested forums
- Adds a forum with loads of topics
- Adds a topic with loads of replies

I hope it helps someone, good luck!
Topic: Not Getting Welcome Message
I have the latest version of wordpress installed on my site. I followed the instructions to install bbPress, then clicking to activate it. But after I do, it just tells me that the plugin has been activated successfully on the top of the page, then shows the normal lists of all plugins on my site. There’s no “Welcome Page”
Additionally, there is no “Forums” option on the left sidebar. Basically, it looks like nothing happened. I uninstalled and tried again, twice. Still no difference.
Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks!
