What Happened to “Views” in bbPress 2.6.14?
In earlier versions of bbPress, Views were visible as a menu item in the WordPress admin under Forums > Views.
In version 2.6.14, the admin menu link to Views was removed by default as part of bbPress cleanup and streamlining.
However, the Views themselves still exist — they’re just hidden from the admin menu unless you’re actively using or registering them.
How to Restore the “Views” Menu
You can manually re-enable the Views admin menu by adding a small code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:
add_action( ‘bbp_admin_menu’, function() {
add_submenu_page(
‘edit.php?post_type=forum’,
‘Topic Views’,
‘Views’,
‘manage_options’,
‘edit.php?post_type=topic_view’
);
});
