Now that you state the obvious I didn’t even think of looking around that. Yes, BP’s profile gets displayed when someone clicks on a member while browsing the bbpress forums.
The thing is, I guess, that the wp profile image stays the default and “true” one. Ideally, either wp should sync its avatar with BP or the other way around (BP fetches wp avatar and uses that one).
Now as I’d like to keep it as it’s built, since it is quite good looking already, I mean I’d like to fully use the BP profile (that bbpress redirects to, as you pointed out), I’m not too sure of what would be the fastest or/and easiest:
- Do the wp profile images gets synced with the BP profile image (since it has one on its own)
- Tell bbpress to go fetch the BP profile image, since my users only have access to their BP profile
I looked for plugins that do either, already, I didn’t quite find my fit yet. And I was hoping someone would have done something similar or knows enough to talk me roughly through what I need to do in order to achieve what I want to do.
Either way, if anyone has some clue, that would be nice.
If there is no luck at it, I guess I’ll be trying to do it by myself, but as I am no php expert and don’t really know much about either wp, bbpress or BP, I’ll have to get going with more reading first.
Thank’s for your reply Setphen, it lit a bulb on my side.
I’m not seeing any issues with this @piratesjv81
If you look at this screenshot https://cloudup.com/c-PvKdbwPl0
The forum testtesttest is a sub-forum of the revision tests forum and they both have the subscribe link to subscribe to the forums
I think this may be related to a couple other complaints, but there’s no menus once there’s an install on WP 4.7
I’ve tested on 2 different vanilla installs, on 2 different domains.
Thanks
Also I don’t know if this function I created to add capabilities did anything in combination with deactivating and activating bbPress, but this function was in my Theme functions.php file during the process of doing the deactivation and activation. š
// bbPress Keymaster capabilities fix
function aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix() {
$capabilities = array(
'keep_gate',
'spectate',
'participate',
'moderate',
'throttle',
'view_trash',
'publish_forums',
'edit_forums',
'edit_others_forums',
'delete_forums',
'delete_others_forums',
'read_private_forums',

'read_private_replies',
'manage_topic_tags',
'edit_topic_tags',
'delete_topic_tags',
'assign_topic_tags'
//'test'
);
$role = get_role( 'bbp_keymaster' );
foreach( $capabilities as $cap ) {
$role->add_cap( $cap );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix');
Eureka I found where the problem is. Yeah!
On my Live site this is the DB value for wp_options > wp_user_roles is missing the “keep_gate” and all other capabilities.
Live site DB value: s:13:"bbp_keymaster";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Keymaster";s:12:"capabilities";a:0:{}}
Local Dev test site DB value: s:13:"bbp_keymaster";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Keymaster";s:12:"capabilities";a:29:{s:9:"keep_gate";b:1;s:8:"spectate";b:1;s:11:"participate";b:1;s:8:"moderate";b:1;s:8:"throttle";b:1;s:10:"view_trash";b:1;s:14:"publish_forums";b:1;s:11:"edit_forums";b:1;s:18:"edit_others_forums";b:1;s:13:"delete_forums";b:1;s:20:"delete_others_forums";b:1;s:19:"read_private_forums";b:1;s:18:"read_hidden_forums";b:1;s:14:"publish_topics";b:1;s:11:"edit_topics";b:1;s:18:"edit_others_topics";b:1;s:13:"delete_topics";b:1;s:20:"delete_others_topics";b:1;s:19:"read_private_topics";b:1;s:15:"publish_replies";b:1;s:12:"edit_replies";b:1;s:19:"edit_others_replies";b:1;s:14:"delete_replies";b:1;s:21:"delete_others_replies";b:1;s:20:"read_private_replies";b:1;s:17:"manage_topic_tags";b:1;s:15:"edit_topic_tags";b:1;s:17:"delete_topic_tags";b:1;s:17:"assign_topic_tags";b:1;}}
another minor update, using the latest files uploaded yesterday directly into the patent theme, things work better, still needs some updates but works better,
Maybe you have your bbpress setup slightly different, what are you bbpress settings ?
user settings wont work with buddypress active in this theme.
it changes url forums/users/Adam/ to members/Adam/edit/
also doing this make not difference.
Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>
try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.
I tested the site and runs fast…
It look like the authors off BBpress ignore an very big problem that the performance goes bad on big forums.
They can’t test this, because they have no big testforum, so they think BBpress is fast enough, but it isn’t
PLEASE PUT YOUR TIME IN THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WILL MAKE BBPRESS GROW.
Take a look of my forum. 1100000 posts, 72000 topics, 50000 members.

Those patches are over two years old. I’m running the latest version of bbpress and still have this issue. Do I need to apply the patches above to core? Why aren’t they in the current stable release?
@consultjoseph @siparker Sorry it took me so long to respond to you guys.
I am using the version of this plugin I put on Github in a beta test of a site I’m moving from Joomla to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.6121 and am using a child theme of Twentysixteen.
The biggest thing is that with the version of the plugin I’m using, bbPress Settings need to be adjusted:
1. Go into Forum Settings and set “Forum Root” to “forums”
2. UN-check Forum Prefix – you do NOT want to prefix all forum content the Forum Root Slug
3. Make sure that the Single Forum Slug for “Forum” is “forum”
Next, go into Permalink Settings:
1. Under Common Settings, select “Post Name”
2. Save changes
If you don’t set or RESET your permalinks, you will get 404s! But if you reset your permalinks after activating the plugin, everything will work.
I expect to take my beta site live within a week or so; when I do I’ll provide a link to the permanent live site so you can see the bbPress URLs in action.
that pipe is from the admin links and seems to be an extra one.- not sure why this appears for you – 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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
That will hopefully tell you what is causing it

I deleted all cache via the wp fastest cache.
Can you add me on Skype: thomask1993@hotmail.com
Thanks
Ive just tried testing the theme on my site, I followed the instuctions but it does not look the same.
also is it possible to have the search and user panel below the main menu ?
ok, untested but try
wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php
copy to your PC and
line 17
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />
change to
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />
save this file to
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
suspect that wp fastest cache might be saving a version.

Hello,
I test the plugin “GD bbPress Attachments” which looks very interesting, but I canāt get āattached filesā in BBPress topics and answers. In fact, I noticed that this button to download is visible when I am logged in to the admin, however I donāt want that forumās participants have to create an account to add attachments (especially pdf’s files) in their comments.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
I would suggest trying it on a local setup using MAMP or XAMP
Then export the forum using WordPress’ “Export” tool, and then the “Import” tool on your site.
p.s I haven’t tested or seen anyone do a Vanilla install for quite a while and sugget you take a close look at the import o make sure it works. Also try bbPress 2.6-alpha, lots of importer improvements, you can get it from here https://bbpress.org/download
The theme used here on bbpress.org is called bbpress-org, the theme used on buddypress.org is called buddypress-org, I see a pattern emerging, the theme used on codex.bbpress.org is called codex-bbpress-org, the theme used on codex.buddypress.org is called codex-buddypress-org, there is a pattern here :shakes fist: ;P
Along with the above, each of those themes is a WordPress child theme, the parent theme is named bb-base, as you can see below per the announcement blog posts all the above parent and child themes and plugins used on all the sites were “open sourced” back in March 2014
Open Sourcing bbPress.org
Open Sourcing BuddyPress.org
The above posts also link to the source repos, there is also a new child theme that is now used on the bbPress 2.x powered https://wordpress.org/support/ forums and an even newer evolution of this theme is being worked on for the updated redesign of the WordPress forums, you can even sneak a peak at the new design by visiting this URL: https://wordpress.org/support/?new-theme=1
The updates to all of the above and the migration of the WordPress Support Forums to bbPress 2.x, rather 2.6-alpha is one of the reasons bbPress 2.6 isn’t out yet, it’s because we’re making sure bbPress 2.6 will be the best it possibly can be, and by deploying it on wordpress.org and the ensued battle testing of it that has been taking place we’ve got a few things to do before we can say bbPress 2.6 is ready to be released.
@mikehaceman, thanks for testing this, I’ll update the and test the patch in a few hours
And FWIW an import should also work albeit slower without the wp_bbp_converter_translator table, some hosts don’t allow users to create new tables, so I’ll see if I can figure out why this isn’t working either for you š
A couple of things, if you use bbPress 2.6-alpha that should fix your issues, you can download it from https://bbpress.org/download
You “might” need to update your old SMF database to the latest version, its too difficult to maintain multiple database versions for ~25 or so forum imports we support.
Run through the deactivate plugins process again, this time though reactivate the plugins one by one, and test as you go, as soon as you activate the plugin that is causing this you can raise a support issue with the author or there may be an alternative plugin you could use for that feature if a fix isn’t available.
Create yourself a test user with the default participant role and use your browser “incognito” mode.
Also try disabling all your plugins and see if that fixes the issue.
