As wordpress strips the break and text tags I’m looking for a solution to add line breaks to my bbp_user_decription div.
Here is what did not work:
1.) What I find everywhere is some sort of this added to functions.php:
remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
This does not work, also looking at wordpress’ recent incl/registration.php just saying this file is deprecated makes me think that this code should not get to work at all.
2.) Alternatively I looked through my themes’files and used
<?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'user_description' )); ?>
in content.php. Or <?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'description' )); ?> in my author.php
3.) Tried 1) and 2) with bbp_ at the beginning of each decription’s part.
Nothing worked, break-or p-tags are just ignored.
Also, is there a secure way to add break-tags only?
Thanks for any help!
Hi,
Everytime we submit a new topic, bbpress will auto redirect to new topic page. I’d like to know what is this function or script ?
Hello,
The bbPress theme “MesoColumn” isn’t available through my host, so I downloaded the file and installed it manually. When accessing the admin panel or the page itself, the page won’t load and stays blank. My forum is here. I know it’s the theme because the default theme works fine, although the inside of the folders is different. My permissions is set to 755 for all the files. Anyone know why it isn’t working?
Thanks for anyone who replies,

Dear Dev-Team,
I’m having a strange problem.
Our script creates a new forum if another post_type gets published.
The script has been up running and tested without issues a couple of days ago.
All WP + DB entries get set; even all bbpress post meta information (incl. ping_status, etc)
The created forum DB-entry does look 1:1 the same as a manually published forum.
There is no visible difference within the DB-entries. Also ‘publish’ status is set.
The only way to ‘publish’ the script-forum is entering the forum and hit/click publish again (WP backend). No additional settings need to change, only pressing ‘publish’ does the trick.
After doing this I’ve checked the DB/Debug again; still looks 1:1 the same.
Have you ever encountered such a problem?
I’ve tried resetting user-roles; changing bbpress user to super-admin privileges; deactivating plugins and scripts without any positive outcome.
Before re-installing the entire site I was hoping that you guys know what this could be?
We use “wp_insert_post( $my_forum );” for saving the private forum into the DB. Could this be a DB error? How to overcome such weirdness?
WordPress Version: 2.4.3
bbpress Version: 2.5.8 & 2.5.7 tested
Tested as SuperAdmin, Admin, and Moderator.
Website isn’t live to the public at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any credentials (private).
Any help, trick or workaround is very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Chris
Hello,
I have been searching for information on how to place bbpress widgets only onto the forum index page, and the various forum pages, but not have the widgets displayed on the entire site.
Thanks for your help 😀

Hi. I have simple course management site. I create each course with simple post assigned to specific category. What I really need is to assign a forum discussion to each course. It means that for every post with specific category I need a specific forum discussion. Is there any solution in bbPress?
thanks in advance
Hello,
I installed bbPress for the first time.
bbPress has displaying the proper theme on my forum home page but it is not using the page format I want.
It is using the them for my blog page listing all the recent widgets for blog content down the right hand page. Instead of want it to be a standard context page where the blog is centered on the page like it would be more my “about me” or “contact us” page.
How do I modify the theme for the home ?post_type=forum or one of my forum pages ?forum=general-forum-2
Thanks,
Chris
Hi, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress
I’ve just installed bbPress and BuddyPress for the first time.
I was mucking about, looking around to work out how things work.
I thought I’d log out of Admin and try and see if I could see what it would be like to register as a new user. But there is no “register” link showing up anywhere?
Below is a screen capture of part of the screen of what I see, no register, just log in.
Any help appreciated.

I put in a topic a while ago called “SMF Import Help Needed.” I have refreshed the page several times but it isn’t showing.
I put in 4 different links to screenshots to illustrate my issue.
Is there a limit to how many links or is there some other reason my topic isn’t showing
Thanks,
Randal
Hi!
I have just set up a forum just like I did the last time… But now no topics are shown (it says both “This forum contains 2 topic and 1 reply” and under that it says “Nothing to worry about, this forum does not contain any topics”. But I have just addet a topic!! Why cant I (admin nor other users) see it?? I can only see topics made at the main page, but not when I click on it, then its gone too.. This is not logic!
