Hi, I would like the unread posts for a given user to display distinctively so the user quickly knows what to read. Also I would like threads which have new replies to also display distinctively. Not necessarily through colors, maybe using icons.
There is a plugin bbPress Unread Posts doing close to what I am looking for, but it is not maintained anymore. Why such a basic feature needs to be done through a plugin and is not part of the bbPress stock features? Any idea of other plugins or custom code I can use?

Breadcrumb navigation.
Published on May 16th, 2014 by herowpHowdy.
I have a problem with the breadcrumb navigation link. The link to the root forum(which returns a 404 page) is
http://example.com/forums/forum
and it should be:
http://example.com/forums/
I have no idea what to do, as I only installed the plugin and activated it.
Can someone help me?
Kind regards.
/forums page shows a search? and no spaces in breadcrumb
Published on May 16th, 2014 by robgranholmHi,
It’s easiest to show a visual of what’s going on, but when you click on “Forums” in the breadcrumb, you get a page showing a search of some sort, with no data…this is a fresh forum with some dummy threads, but not much else. Is this supposed to be what’s showing up? How do I fix or override.
Also, there’s no spacing between the words in the breadcrumb, how do I make this better looking? I’ve already tried using a plugin to change the word “Home” to a – because I don’t want a home link, but the plugin didn’t help in terms of spacing.
Using the latest version of BBpress and WP.

Diverse pages, some without notices like "no topics" ?
Published on May 16th, 2014 by boblebadHi
I’m at the part of my coming website, where i need to fit bbPress layout to my needs.
It’s a dating/friending site where i use Sweet Date theme, which uses Buddypress for members and bbPress for forums.
As per default bbPress posts status’s at the top and bottom of every forum. I have some forums that only serves as main forum for sub-forums, and therefore in these i don’t want/need the notifications, that there no forums/topics in this forum.
How is this done the right way, and if, what files do i need to copy and edit to make it work ?
It would also be nice if members could comment on a post, but not create new topics.
I tried using the page.php template, but it uses different styling, so the text is another font and weight, i need the bbPress layout 🙂
EDIT: Forgot that i need to be able to have right sidebar on the pages as well.
All the best

Usernames out of position
Published on May 16th, 2014 by NikolajRHi,
I have seen that in some of the topics in my forum. The usernames on the posts moves out of position. I think it’s because they move to the right, but i’m not sure about it.
Topic where the problem is: [url]http://danskyt.net/forums/topic/nyt-grafikkort/[/url]
Site: [url]http://danskyt.net/[/url]
Theme: Point
Wordpress Version: 3.9.1
BBpress Version: 2.5.3
CSS Plugin
Published on May 16th, 2014 by SolidifyMy theme comes with an option in the settings to add my own CSS codes. I love it because I’m just starting out and learning a lot about CSS by just putting snippets of code in there and seeing what it does. Of course none of it fazes my forum and that really really sucks because I’ve read a lot of great reviews about bbPress and I’d like to use it on my site.
Why doesn’t bbPress have the same feature? Is there an up to date plugin I can use, or do I have to create a custom style sheet?
Missing toolbar buttons after fresh wordpress install
Published on May 15th, 2014 by bsilveropHello. I recently deployed WordPress on my site and am using the twenty fourteen theme. I installed bbPress 2.5.3 first, but am missing the toolbar buttons in the forum (ie – the toolbar above where I’m typing now that lets me format my text). I’ve done no theme customizations or plugin customizations. The gray space where the buttons should be in the toolbar is there, but the buttons rae missing.
I made sure that “Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting” is enabled in Settings, but I still don’t see the buttons. I feel like the forum is just not wide enough on the page, as it does not span anywhere near the edge of the page. This could be the problem but am not sure how this happens on a new install or how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
new-user registrations – bbPress on Multisite
Published on May 15th, 2014 by jeffacubedI’m having what I ‘hope’ to be a major over-site as far as how bbPress new user registration functions on a WP multisite environment. I’m using bbPress 2.5.3 & WP 3.9.1 with three sub (directory) sub-sites:
example.com (site1 or the root)
example.com/site2
example.com.site3
I have ‘site2’ & ‘site3’ setup & working 100% with two separate, distinct bbPress forums: site2 = english, while site3 = french. Now the user registration ISSUE:
When new users try to sign-up for either site2 or site3, say using
the bbPress registration process sends then automatically to the ‘root’ site (site1) at example.com/wp-signup.php – which is very problematic as example.com uses a different theme & content-wise a completely different site than site2 or site3I’m not stranger to digging into the php &/or template files – but I’m a bit confused around:
1. If I’m missing something that’s entirely obvious that immediately resolves the new user registration issue w/ bbPress on multisite
2. If not ‘1’ – what might be the ‘code-path’ of least resistance to resolve this specific issue
Any input/ideas/suggestions would be fantastic,
-Jeff
How to show topics from every forum when using [bbp-forum-index].
Published on May 15th, 2014 by JBBoYHi!
I’m wondering if It’s possible to show topics under every forum name on forum index. Here’s an example:
Forum1
Topic1.1
Topic1.2
Topic1.3
Forum2
Topic2.1
Topic2.2
Topic2.3
Topic2.4
Forum3
Topic3.1
Topic3.2
etc…
Thank you very much!
