How can I make it so users wordpress avatar pics are not shown in the new topic area? For instance, I use avatars all over my wordpress site, but I do not want them to show up anywhere in the bbpress forums on the site. Username is enough, the pictures are not needed in the forum area at all.
I noticed I can remove them by editing the HTML, but when a new topic is created the avatar is pulled right back in. I would suspect I may need to comment out some of the php somewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was changing a few basic settings after my bbPress install, the last change bring to nice fancy text permalinks, then bam. 500 Internal Server Error.
I checked my host error log and the error is .’htaccess: Options not allowed here.’
I don’t know a lot about .htaccess but is it something to do with the multiviews? I’ve done a lot of googling but only confusing similar posts seems to come up – hope someone can help?
Url is: www.neverenoughnotes.co.uk/forum, .htaccess is t chmod 755

# END bbPress’
Most forum software displays the actual date for the freshness. I have used the following code as an example:
<?php global $post;
$lalaposttime = date( 'D M Y', strtotime( $post->post_id ) );
echo $lalaposttime; ?>
This worked to a point, however it displays the date as “THU JAN 1970”.
I assumes that it will be different for the bbpress plugin itself.
Could anyone help get me started with this?
Thanks in advance.
I have a blog with the Suffusion-theme on wich I just installed bbpress. I don’t need a fancy theme for bbpress.
* Created a new page for the forum (blablabla.com/Forum)
* Set up all the forums/subforum etc.
* Used the shortcode for showing the forum =
Things looks okey so far! Now I want to remove the sidebars from the forum (not the page, I know how to do that) and I have read a couple of tutorials but still don’t get it.
I don’t want to use a theme or childtheme, I want the forum to have the same coloring etc. as the Suffusion theme I use. So where do I remove the sidebars?
I have removed <?php get_sidebar(); ?> from:
* single-forum.php
* single-topic.php
* single-reply.php
as described in another thread in here. I changed this in mypage.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten
But I don’t use that theme. I use NO theme. So where do I remove the sidebars?
Please let me know what I’m doing wrong here! 
The widgets of bbPress are in conflict with custom post types. In the homepage, the widgets show another bbPress post types that are not the topics and forums. I contacted Justin Tadlock, who explained to me that the problem is related to suppress filters the bbPress widgets that should be set to true.
I believe that this correction is important and should be placed in the next update of the plugin.
I’ve got Mingle-forum but just installed bbpress. Is there anyway to move topic, posts and so on, to bbpress?
If I enable the plugin on my site, using my personal theme, and the default bbpress template, then the first post in each topic does not appear – but replies show fine.
If I use TwentyTen, then the first post appears as expected.
Not sure if this is because of something I have done in my theme, or if it’s a strange quirk of bbPress. Anyone got any pointers/ seen this before?
Before I download, I have some quick questions. Do your forums allow adsense and private forum topics for paying VIP members? Is it easy to set up or do I need to know code?
Howdy!
I recently just installed the bbPress plugin into the Swatch Theme, from wooThemes – everything went great, I love how they interfere, but there’s a little issue.
When I enter the default sidebar. May I please ask, what should I do to make the forum page full width, along with the profile page, because that way the forum it will look a lot more better!
Thanks in advance!
I am trying to figure out how to allow custom shortcodes in topic posts. So far i’ve been trying to use bbp_shortcodes like this.
function bbp_custom_shortcode($codes) {
$codes[] = array(‘item’ => ‘item_func’);
return $codes;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_shortcodes’, ‘bbp_custom_shortcode’);
The codes array is appended but it does nothing Can you explain how to do it properly.
