You should not have an issue using XAMPP, that said though can you deactivate bbPress, delete bbPress and install it again (You won’t lose any bbPress data).
How is it now?
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).

Windows 7 x64, httpd+php+mysqld, latest stable WP, BP, BBP
i think i am having the same issue, although i dont understand what windows would have to do with it.
i updated and the styling on my site was broken. if i deactivate bbpress it comes back to normal. here’s some screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/4SNAC
notice after the update the headers have turned blue, the outlines of all elements have gone and the image in the top left of the header has moved to the top of the page. the site is: http://www.focallocal.org
Yes, it is a bug in bbPress 2.5, we have a patch in and ready for bbPress 2.5.1
Details are here if you want to apply the patch yourself:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481
If not bbPress 2.5.1 is not far away….
ps. If you could test that patch that would be great, I have tested it on XAMPP, 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’ve copied those files across but haven’t got the patch to work. i’ll post the changes i made, perhaps you can see if i missed something

@focallocal Thanks, looking at your code now.
What software package and version are you using? eg. XAMPP 1.8.3
It looks like you have patched the file correctly.
Can you view the source and get the stylesheet path and paste it here:
eg.
A ‘failed’ example
<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">
A ‘working’ example:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='bbp-default-css' href='http://127.0.0.1/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199' type='text/css' media='screen' />
Hello,
i have issues too with the new update.
It looks like that:
http://i.epvpimg.com/w2Bfd.png
I played around a bit with firebug and it has something todo with the “odd” and “even” css class. If i rmeove them i get back the color.
It’s a linux server.
i’m making all changes live to my site as i havent launched yet (hopefully in 2 days) and my hosting companies servers are running Litespeed.
<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’bbp-default-css’ href=’http://focallocal.org/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199′ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />
the odd thing is that every other page i’ve looked at appears absolutely fine, except for the home page.
(including the forum itself)
I have no clue what’s wrong, i just know that it works with the 2.4 version fine so it must be something wrong with the new version.
Also if you read a topic you have the same problem. White text on a white background.
i think i’ve found it.
the problem is only there when W3 Total Cache and bbPress are both switched on, if either are off the problem goes away. i’ve flushed the cache a few times but it made no difference so i believe there is a compatibility issue between the two. W3 is not essential to my site so i’ve switched it off and wont worry too much, but i thought you’d like to know.
@focallocal Cool, it looks like the patch has worked for you
The W3 (and any cache plugin for that matter) are known to be funky with bbPress, there are a few discussions here on bbpress.org if you want to know more on that.
@thetechnoman Are you using custom bbPress templates in your theme?
It’s hard to tell by your screenshot of what is or is not broken, to me that looks fine but I have no idea what it used to look like, can you give me some more information and/or screenshots of 2.4 vs 2.5 please.
just a last quick question.
will the coming update overwrite the code i just changed without any issues?
thanks very much
will the coming update overwrite the code i just changed without any issues?
Yes, it will automaticlly overwrite the changes you made
Thanks for the reply’s I am going to try what @focallocal did with the new patch that was released to see if that fixes it. I had moved the stylesheet for bbpress into my theme for now and linked it that way so that I could continue working on it for now. I’ll try the fix the mentioned above tomorrow and see what that does for me. I appreciate all of the responses.
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
@netweb tested 2.5 with patch – works fine now (on httpd). Thank you.
No it should look like the website does. Black.
If you visit a topic you have white text on white background. In the screenshot the text is only clue cause of the hyperlinks.
You can’t see the amount of posts and threads in the screenshot cause they are also white.
That patched worked great I appreciate the help @netweb
