You could try the latest version of the plugin, it is hosted on GitHub here

Actually it looks like the WP hosted version is also the same version

Hi there,
have updated in my test environment first and got all the css errors. Have applied the patch and it is still not working. Have reverted back to 2.4.1. Do you know when 2.5.1 will be released to properly fix this issue.
Kind regards
Tried testing on your forum, but your forums disappeared while I was looking around.
Can you try reinstalling bbPress? I can’t see any reason why get_post_type_object() would fail in any bbPress context.
Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), I spent my whole sunday afternoon setting up two test sites where in one of them (http://kooksjournal.net/forums/) I have bbpress 2.5 and in the other one (http://kooksjournal.com/forums/) I have bbpress 2.3.2 installed. I created two users for bothsites.
“guest” user is a subscriber, “test” user is the admin. they both have the same password “welcome”
if you login as “guest” user and visit this forum: http://kooksjournal.net/forums/forum/science-technology/welcome-to-the-science-technology-forum/
you will see that the css is broken, but if you login as admin “test” you will see that the page displays normally.
if you do the same for this forum: http://kooksjournal.com/forums/forum/science-technology/welcome-to-the-science-technology-forum/
you will see that there is no css problem for both “guest” and the “test” user. I hope this helps.
crzyhrse – I am in the process of trying to improve the documentation – I started using wordpress & bbPress earlier this year and am still learning. This is community software, and community documentation, so I am trying to do my bit by helping the documentation side, and by spending time on the forum helping others where I can. The step by step guides I am writing are designed to fit the bill of “cohesive simple directions”, but if they are failing or you haven’t found them, then they are not working as planned. Let me know and I’ll try to improve layout and/or content, but I need good feedback to do this.
The text change suggested by renai42 works (with a small change) if done to the bbpress.css.
Can I ask you to look at
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2
and the styling crib
bbPress Styling Crib
I’ve just tested and added Renai’s css so look there for what to use.
If you can improve wording or content to help others – please let me know what could be better phrased.
If it doesn’t work, come back with what you did, and I’ll see if I can help further
I just installed the latest WordPress and BBpress and the forum opens fine on a computer but when you open it on a mobile device it does not open and I get “oh brother there are no forums found”?
Hmm thanks for the headsup. Just tested subscription on a sub-forum and no, no email notification.
First, Inspiration Point (http://www.inspiration-point.org) is using a child version of TwentyEleven. I’m using the latest WordPress software.
I did some reading and I’m liking what I am hearing about the bbpress forum plugin. On my site, there is area that I’m calling Shore Classified. Here’s what I’d like to do:
Shore Classified is born out of a frustration I had with my church. It’s not because they didn’t want to put a request on the church’s mailing list. It had to do with limited resource and wary of unwanted advertisements. I’m not the only one
Why not create a place where people can posts “blog updates”, “Christian business”, “Church Events”, “Help Wanted” and etc. My initial thought is to limit this to a region. It can easily be expanded.
I, obviously want to be careful and it’s why I didn’t jump on it. 🙂 Are there additional plugins? How can I best set the forum to safeguard against unwanted trolls? Can bbpress be configured to require registration before posting?
There are probably other questions that I should be asking. I’d appreciate some inputs. Thanks in advance.
If i got my forums click on forum and then click on a thread my bread crumbs read like this:
Home › Topic › This is a Test
They should read:
Home › Forum › Control Ants > This is a Test
If I click on “Topic” I get a 404 error.
I did install the BBPress String wrap plugin but that did not help and I have no idea how to edit it.
Goto to this page and click on the stick thread and you will see what i am talking about.
How can i fix this?
Thank you for your time.
Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), Thanks for helping me. I tried the fix with bbpress 2.5 but it doesn’t seem to be working. The strange thing is if I login as admin, there is no problem. :). I have to go back to version 2.3.2 for now but I will set up a test site with the same problem and give you admin/ subscriber access. maybe it would help you better to see the problem. I will do this on the weekend.
Best regards
Tested – I subscribed, but in profile it says
“subscriptions
You are not currently subscribed to any forums.”
So no that doesn’t seem to work.
@Stephen Edgar – any ideas 2.5 working in twentyten !
Little off topic.. Hi robin can you test if when you subscribe one forum it appear in user subscriptions page? Thanks…
Just upgraded my test site to 2.5, and with the twentyten theme I run, the profile link takes you to a page with
profile
topics started
replies created
favorites
subscriptions
edit
Just as it did before !
I use solution 1, so I have just added the oine to the new widgets file and uploaded it, and all works fine.
@netweb tested 2.5 with patch – works fine now (on httpd). Thank you.
ok, here my latest uĂĽdates to custom CSS field of my theme:
#bbpress-forums > #subscription-toggle{
float:right;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle a{
font-weight:bold;
padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
border: 1px solid navy;
background-color: white;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle{
background-color: #FFE000;
}
A probably quicker and easier way to test the patch is to download the following file:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/export/5210/branches/2.5/includes/core/template-functions.php
Save that to your PC and then with an FTP program upload it to your web host in this folder /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core
Hello,
When I was using 1.1 alpha, this problem wasn’t happening.
After importing the old forum to 2.x, I did noticed this issue.
Yesterday I also upgraded bbpress to latest version 2.5
The addons that I have enabled are:
– BBPress Close Old Posts
– bbpress Simple Advert Units
– Captcha
– Custom Meta Widget
– Google Analytics for WordPress
Template: Lobster (bootstrap 3)
– switched templates and issue stills there
Also new replies are inserted before the edits:
TOPIC A
– Post 1
– Post 3
– Post 4
– Post 5
– Post 6
– Post 2
Thank you
Thank you for you extreme patience with me.
So am I not supposed to be seeing the Visual Tab inside the forum Topic and Replies now that this recommended plugin is installed? This is from the read me file for bbPress Enable Tinymce-visual-tab:
“Enabling the full default TinyMCE editor mode will display all the buttons, similar to the editor inside the WordPress admin.” I guess I expected to see this.
Ok, this gets more complex doesn’t it… Another plug in, I will have to look and see what could be doing this. This function of editing user’s image dimensions in topics right in the forum pages was super for the moderators. They are leery of always using the dashboard to do everything and this made it a simple task. Isn’t it always hard to go backwards…
The Add Media button information came from the Read Me file for bbPress Enable Tinymce-visual-tab:
“Enabling the media upload button, “Add Media”, will only enable this button for users who have the ability to upload files. By default this is authors and greater. This means this button will _not_ show for normal forum users. This is simply to give administrators the ability to easily upload and insert images into bbPress.”
I am giving 4 moderators admin and keymaster privileges to add images to posts, delete spam etc. The forum is being run with no registration required, my choice. The topic and reply traffic has been considerable and this is only a hidden test site by invitation only at this point. I had many choices to pick from for forums, and we definitely agreed we did not want to be using FB or yahoo. So far bbPress has been perfect for this. But the plugin problems have been greater than normal this week.
Thank you for your help,
Patrice
Hello Stephen,
1) I am using XAMPP1.8(3) locally. I chose XAMPP for Windows. I did install it over 1 year ago. so I do not remember well, but it is from the same location: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.
2)What is “Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0)” – I found this info on XAMPP control panel. it is version 3.1.0.3.1.0. but it is not right information for you. 🙂
3)We have a patch ready to ship with bbPress 2.5.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481
I do not know how to install the patch. can you provide the detail steps? I would love to test it. I also do updates/installation inside the wordpress panel. so I do not know how to manually do patch.:)
4) If the patch is not working, how can un-install it or what should I do? so I can have recovery plan.
Happy thanksgiving!!!
thank you

If you could test that patch that would be great, I have tested it on XAMPP 1.8.3 , Apache, IIS and a couple of other systems but we’d like some feedback on the patch before we release 2.5.1 to make sure we haven’t broken something else. 🙂
I use XAMPP locally and I never had this issue, I am using XAMPP 1.8.3 from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
What is “Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0)” and where can I find it to download and test with?

Hi,
This is definitely a bug in bbp 2.5 on Windows. 2.4.1 does not have this issue. You can reproduce it by reverting to 2.4.1 (works again) -> update to 2.5 (doesn’t work again).
<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="http://localhost/wordpress37/wp-content/C:devhtdocswordpress37wp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199" type="text/css" media="screen">
Windows 7 x64, httpd+php+mysqld, latest stable WP, BP, BBP
It shouldn’t do – just tested with bbPress 2.4.1 and editing by admin in either the dashboard or in the options when viewing the post doesn’t change it’s “published” date, which is what the forum uses as it’s display order.
Have you got any plugins or changes you’ve made that could affect this.
And.. has this just started happening and what version of bbPress are you on?
Sorry, I forgot to mention I did disable all plugins with no luck. Same results. I did not try twenty thirteen theme. Tried that this morning and still have the same results.
I’m on the latest WordPress. Let me know what other information might be useful. Thanks.
