I set up a new WordPress blog today and set it up with no changes. I may not ever use the blog but wanted the bbpress forum. I added the plugin and created several test forums. But every time I create a forum I cannot view it – I get “This page can’t be displayed”. I’ve tried just about everything you recommend (everything I can understand) and even deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to work.
My main website: www.portwennonline.com
Wordpress blog: www.portwennonline.com/blog3/
Two of the forums I created:

Hi,
I’m struggling to create this kind of behaviour: I need to allow to anyone to create new topics, but I need to prevent answers from everybody. Only admins or other specific privileged roles can reply.
Any chance to achieve that?
Thank you.

I’ve been searching for a solution on this for hours, to no avail, and it seems like such a simple thing:
All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.
For example, if I write a forum post, another user should be able to click on my name and see the profile info that I’ve added to my profile in the backend–e.g. “Contact Info” and “About Yourself” (email address, website, biographical info)–on a page on my site.
Right now, when they click on my name, or when I click on another forum user’s name, it sends to our 404 page.
What gives? Pretty much any site I’ve ever used that has multiple users allows you to click their name to see their bio. It seems insane that WordPress/bbPress doesn’t have this basic feature. And I haven’t even been able to find a plugin or any kinds of codes to make this happen. I’ve found all kinds of plugins that allow you to add additional user fields (like social media info) or prettier front-end login pages, but nothing that just displays another user’s contact/bio info.
Thanks in advance for your help.

MOREIC DISCUSSION FORUM
Hey guys, I am looking around for a utility which will allow visitors to my site to ask any questions but without having to join a forum, is this possible with bbpress please?
So I managed to remove the right sidebar of bbPress by duplicating the “page.php” file and renaming it “forum.php” and dropping that into my parent theme folder. No more sidebar…
BUT now the bbPress breadcrumb is right behind the Page Title (overlapping). Is there any way to correct this?
Thanks,
John
Hello everybody,
I would like to know how to remove the light yellow box on top of my website. It shows the last post and the user profil.
I know I put this myself but I can’t remember how to remove it. Someone can help me?

I use bbpress 2.5.8 and the wordpress 4.4.2
So, I’m thinking of using bbPress for a forum I’m about to create. But, the more I read on this forum, the closer I get to the conclusion that bbPress is a dead project and should be buried. I’m writing this because I want to know if it really is as bad as it seems and in that case, why?!
So, I want my guest users to have the option to start forum threads and answer to topics, so far so good (but that’s about it). I also want the guest users (non logged in users) to be able to “quote” previous answers – a very basic forum function that is still not included in the most recent bbPress release?! I have searched this forum for answers about a quote function and as far as I can see it was promised to be a feature in the upcoming versions ABOUT 3½ YEARS AGO?! I’ve tried 3 plug ins to accomplish this without success. The Quote feature shows up if I’m logged in as admin, but not for guests. Same results for all the plug ins I’ve tried. Why is this not a standard feature yet?!
Another thing discussed here is the permalink function, the option to use wildcards to control how the forum permalink structure looks. There’s even a fantastic request about how this feature is supposed to work here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 The priority is set as “low” though this is a critical and very useful feature?! Nothing has happened. WHY?!
It seems that this is the same for all requests for new features on this forum. A lot of users are asking the developers for the most basic functions any forum on the net should have, but 2, 3 even 4 years later, nothing has happened. Again, as far as I can see, this laziness and ignorance showed by the developers is always defended by a phrase that goes something like “bbPress is a basic forum and you can expend it to your hearts content with plug ins!” but that is not the case. There are so few plug ins for bbPress, and even fewer good ones that is currently being updated on a regular basis.
So, what the f*ck is going on with bbPress? Is there any point in considering bbPress when creating a forum with more >10 users? Why is notning happening?! Also, how would I go about fixing the Quote function problem. “Quote option” isn’t showing to any guest with any plug in.
Hi,
I have a wp site with bbpress but when I go to the forum section without being logged in it renders the following before the DOCTYPE html:”
“<div id=”bbpress-forums”>
<div class=”bbp-breadcrumb”><p>Home <span class=”bbp-breadcrumb-sep”>›</span> ”
I can’t find a solution and this appears only when I’m not logged in. If I log in everything is rendered just fine. (hiding it via css does not work because the bb-forums div encapsulates my whole page).I mention that in firebug this appears right after body although in the viewsource it appears before the Doctype. How can I resolve this issue ?
Thank you for your support.
