We’ve set all but two of our forums to be private, and yet if you go to /discussions then every discussion is listed!
Granted if you click on any of them you get a 404 error, but that in turn throws up crawl errors with Google and isn’t great user experience either. Plus users assume quite rightly that if they post in a private forum, the content of the discussion including the titles shouldn’t be visible on the public site.
As an aside, if you go to message boards that’s working fine – it displays the 2 public forums if you’re logged out, and all 14 forums if you’re logged in, so that’s fine. It’s the discussion archive pages that seem to be the loophole.
Hello,

How i wil get the RSS fee to work with specific forum/post?
Hi,
i just installed bbpress to my wordpress website. www raquiia com/gaming.
I was using inboard since long time but yet, i think it’s more convenience to use bbpress with my wordpress website and different plugins.
So i would like to configure it.
The basic installation looks correct, its work without bug (or i didn’t find yet), but i would like to customize it.
First i would like to add a chat on the forum page : www raquiia com/gaming/forums/
So, between the header with the image and title and the Forum i would like this: wordpress plugin : simple-ajax-chat
or an other chat i don’t really care.
i’ll keep the sidebar on right.
Bottom of the forum i would like a better statistic. So i found this : wordpress plugin : bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online
For both it’s look simple to install, just have to write the shortcode on the forum page. But unfortunnally i can’t find where is this page …
After fix that, i’ll try to make the forum more clear and nice to read.
It’s hard to find nice and clear bbpress (i mean in my opinion), i found one example : http://themes.momizat.com/?theme=multinews (go to community -> Forum)
A forum like this after add the chat and the statistic can be alright. Even better if i also can add image for each sub category.
To explain, on this example they have General main category
Then they have sub category :- getting started
– off topic
– Funstuff
Can i add an image before each sub category ?
i think, i have to modify my template to get what i want. i just don’t know where and how …
To summary i want :
1 : Add a chat (doesn’t matter which one) on top of the forum
2 : Add better statistic bot of my forum
3 : Change the design of the forum part (category …)
If somebody can answer me it will be very helpful to open this website asap.
Thanks you by advance
Louis
Hello – As a normal user (not admin) the posts are showing the html (I think that is what it is called). For example – it looks like this when posted:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>

I am using GD bbPress Toolbox to have more options on my visual editor.
Also – is there any way to completely REMOVE the “text” tab option (only have visual editor available)?
Thanks for your assistance.

Hello!
I would like to try bbPress forum because of it’s WordPress integration and the advantages that would come with that.
I currently have a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) with the following statistics:
Total Members: 98
Total Posts: 9924
Total Topics: 1519
Total Categories: 4
Total Boards: 34
Version of SMF: 2.0.11 (Current)
Version of WordPress: 4.3.1 (Current)
Version of bbPress: 2.5.8 (Current)
I’ve read the guide of importing forums here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/
Based on that I’m fairly certain I followed the steps right. I have the server (localhost), the database, the prefix and user added in the import tool. The processing gets stuck at the following point (tried several times):
Converting topics (57 – 57)
I did try with ‘Row Limit’ 1 and also tried ‘Delay Time’ between 1-30, but that did not make a difference. I tried to Stop / Start it a few times… nothing.
I’m not an expert with MySQL databases, so I don’t think I can manually edit the row which is causing the problem.
Can anyone help with this please?
When I try to create topics or replies I get this error:
on this forum (NSFW)
ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.
How to fix?

Hi
I’ve tried following function (in functions.php of my theme) to increase pagination, but it doesn’t work:
function bbp_increase_pagination($args) {
$args['end_size'] = 5;
$args['mid_size'] = 5;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'bbp_increase_pagination' );
I still have same pagintation:
What’s the problem?
Hey I was looking to add an unsubscribe button (that could just link to http://mysite.com/members/USERNAME/forums/subscribtions/) to the email that you receive when there is a new reply on a topic you subscribed to.
How can I link to this link http://mysite.com/members/USERNAME/forums/subscribtions/ when I do not know the USERNAME of the receiver?
