Here is a different plug in that does a reasonable job:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/
After installing it, go to discussion settings and then set it to create a forum topic for each post, copy tags, etc. Then you have an option to apply settings to all existing posts.
I tried this on a test site and it worked pretty well. It did not do all the bookkeeping of reply counts correctly, but it did create appropriate topics for each post and import the comments and replies to them. Local bookkeeping services
It is also reversible as it does not delete either the posts or comments — if you deactivate the plug in your posts (which were unchanged anyway) and their comments are intact. You do still have a bunch of new topics in your target forum.
yes, I also removed the add-in
Hi,
I can’t get the login form to login. All it does no matter what you type in is redirect the user to the WordPress login page.

I setup a test user… user and pass are “test”
I’ve tried everything and I’m baffled….
Hi Robin, still having issues but have made some progress on being able to replicate the issue.
The issue is related to deleting posts and more specifically deleting the latest post that has been submitted to a particular forum topic.
It seems that the plugin is failing to refresh the Last Post entry after the last post gets deleted. It is failing to revert back to the previous post.
I’m helping a non-profit to create a forum on their site, and I’m using Physio Q template but I built the site with Elementor Pro. And, really, it doesn’t matter what template I use, I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it so that it looks really nice. I’ve installed “bb style pack” but it doesn’t help with things like needing a sidebar with a place to log in, etc. It just looks off and we’re going to want to make it look more like the rest of the site: robust, easy to read, etc.
The “Forums” page looks fine, but that styling no longer works once the topic is selected.

Any suggestions? I saw something about editing the single.php file, but I really don’t want to install more plugins or use too many workarounds to get it to look like the rest of the site. Thank you in advance!
this works on my test site
add_filter( 'bbp_default_styles', 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;
function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css ($defaults ){
unset ($defaults['bbp-default']) ;
return $defaults ;
}
I am a newbie on BBPress and just installed it and I’m in the process of setting it up. The problem is that the body columns are not aligning with the topic headings.
I did some testing and this is the default layout which is not aligning.
Forum: Imagination Room
However if I create a new Page and insert the shortcode the alignment is perfect, so I’m not sure what’s happening, but I don’t want to create several dozen pages and insert shortcodes, so I’d like to figure out why it’s not aligning.

I’ve tried messing with some of the css but I couldn’t figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
answers from my perspective – I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here, and has written some plugins including style pack
1. it was bbpress authors’ choice to change freshness to last post – it does the same thing, and you can change what it says to what you want either using code or style pack. I don’t think there is any change in philosophy, apart from that what most other forums call that column.
2. I logged 3297 which is incorporated in 3356, which is as far as I know the fix. It is awaiting bbpress authors to look at it.
3. Given that bbpress authors have lots to look at, and that the freshness problem was not in 2.5.x code, I simply added a re-run of the 2.5.x code into my plugin and made it an option, which seems to fix the issue for many people. Given I am designer, author, tester, and everything else for my style pack plugin, I can simply do this. I do not have the problem that my code will affect 300,000 sites, or is run by several people who have busy lives and need to agree who will do what.
Hi,
An odd problem that I’ve just become aware of. When a user replies to a Post in Forum, the ‘last post’ info gets updated on the list of posts, but the Forum page does not. The result is that the Posts lists page displays Last post: 11 minutes ago by Ann Other. The forum page displays Last post: 2 days 21 hours ago by Some Onelse
There are no other error messages anywhere, and the site is running the latest versions of WP, BuddyPress and BBpress.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Kelly
Hi – I have a WordPress site that has been operational for 5 years.
I wanted to add a Discussion Forum using bbPress, and I have been successful in installing the bbPress plug-in.
Using the bbPress Shortcode Codex, I wanted to create a requirement for people to log into my new Discussion Forum using
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.
However, when I test these two options, it appears that these two options actually create a new WordPress account – with no connection to my existing WordPress site at all. When I test the Register facility, a new page opens with the WordPress create account box (create username and password).
What is wrong with the Shortcode usage, please?
WordPress 5.4.1 running Enterprise theme.
Who and What I Find – About this site
bbPress Version 2.6.5
It sounds like you no longer have the Keymaster forum role.
Be sure to update to the latest version of bbPress, and check your Users for any other Keymaster accounts that you don’t recognize.
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Then come back
Hi, I just installed bbpress and have the latest version of wordpress (5.4). I see “voices” and “posts” but no “views”.
Is this standard? I would like to see the number of views by topic.
Is there a simple fix for a non-programmer type guy?
I upgraded to 2.6.5 . In WordPress menu Settings->Forums, I checked Super Moderators(Allow Moderators and Keymasters to edit users) .I tested setting the user role Editor / Keymaster. In WordPress menu can’t look the Users menu.
How can i do ?
Thx.
nothing I know of, when testing I just hit the refresh button in my browser
I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here.
I did not respond to allow and other community members to respond if they wished.
I appreciated that you are frustrated, but you are using free software, and with that comes volunteer support. I’m not sure why you feel entitled to get someone to fix your problems for free and at a weekend.
There are 300,000 bbpress sites, and I have been offering support on this forum for 6 years, and have seen most issues that bbpress has had over the years.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

I’m not sure where this message is coming from.
It is not in bbpress, and bbpress just uses WordPress registration.
It may well be WordPress (I haven’t got auto registration on any of my test sites so can’t say)
Or are you running and registration plugins, or does your theme do this, or is it WordPress.
You’ll need to do a bit more digging.
ok, I’m not seeing this issue – can you as a test deactivate bbpress do shortcodes and then retest
Hello. 🙂
I’m using the latest version of bbPress and I would like to know if there is a way to refresh a page twice when I click its link.
Let’s give an example:
I’m in the topics list.
I’m about to click on one random topic.. It successfully loads the topic and everything goes fine.
But I’m doing some tests with my own plugins and I need to refresh that page twice.
Like – “When you successfully load the page, load it again, just once more.”
Is there a function for doing so? Like adding a refresh function to the topic pagination function?
If you guys could help me out, would be appreciated 🙂
Thank you!
Oh, thank you very much for your quick help!
Unfortunately the case is still on. We tested earlier this week that option, but the result is same – except one thing.
1. When you copy text from email client (or word processor) including hyperlink and paste it to the forum, the result is 404 error after submission
2. But if you paste the text and remove the hyperlink (the link is still there but as plain text) then the message goes to queue and administrator must accept the submission
I can add hyperlinks to the text and submit it to forum if I type it manually without copying.
It looks like there are some rules which prevents adding the text to submission forms and subscribing it.
Very interesting case 🙂

Hello,
I have the latest versions of WordPress, bbPress and bbp style pack
Users no longer receive email when they subscribe to a forum or topic.
The email is sent to the administration email but not to subscribers.
It’s not a mailbox problem. When there is a quote, it works.
It is not related to bbPress 2.6.5
Does anyone else have the same concern, is there a setting that I missed?
Thank you for helping me and sorry for my rough English.
well it does on my test site, so without seeing your site I can’t say – sorry
My live site with a 3rd party theme is not public. The test site I have is just running locally in a docker container. It is a fresh install using the built-in themes.
