In reply to: White Screen of Death
I suspect you are using a block theme also known as “Full Site Editing” or FSE theme
This is one of the “block themes” – this is the new way that WordPress plans to develop themes. BBpress authors are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, add this additional plugin
Come back if this does not work
In reply to: Restricting users to one forum onlyAdd this additional plugin
once activated, go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>help tab and read through how to set this up.
1. so for instance if you wanted ‘editors‘ to have their own private forum, then in
2. dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group name settings and set up group 1 with a name ‘say editors-private-forum’. but could be whatever you want.
3. then in
dashboard>forums – create a forum, or edit an existing forum, and then under the description you will see a section headed ‘Forum Groups’ – assign this forum to the group you set above
so this forum is now only accessible to users who have that private group assigned.
4. then in
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles
set the editors role (or whatever role you want to access the forum that you set up in step 1) to the group.
and that should set editors to be able to see and access that forum only
All other forums remain as they were.
In reply to: bbPress search and user pages break layout in Divi 5If you are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) and have an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly
If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:
1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear
2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled
3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed
For your browser – see this helpful article How to clear browser cache
In reply to: PHP Fatal errorso how long each day do you see this, and is it a set time?
In reply to: Subscribe/Unsubscribe does not worksome great fault finding carried out there, many thanks for that.
To start at the end, twenty twenty five is a FSE theme and pending the next release of bbpress you need to add
wordpress.org/plugins/enable-bbp-block-theme/
It looks like you have an issue between Highend Theme 1.0.2 and buddypress, which might be difficult to get resolved.
As highend is a paid theme, I cannot check it out, but I would start by asking them, as you can show it working with a wordpress default theme, but not with highend#
In reply to: PHP Fatal errorIf this is easily repeatable, I’d suggest (as a test) deactivating wp-optimize and see if it still occurs
so you are adding a ‘shortcode’ block and putting the [bbp-forum-index] in there – yes?
and what theme are you using?
In reply to: The blank page when opening the forumthanks 🙂
which visual css editor are you using?
ok, so what theme are you using?
and which method in
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ part 3
are you using?
In reply to: Forum Profileok so I now have 2 different things
1. clicking profile goes to the users own profile
2. clicking profile says sorry you are not logged inWithout a consistent problem definition it is hard to help, but as stated above, clicking someone’s name should take the user the that person’s profile.
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Then come back
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsGreat, glad to have helped 🙂
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsPlugin created – go to
and follow the instructions
any issues let me know 🙂
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsyep – that is what I am planning – be back when I’ve done it
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsquick response, I’m a UK farmer, so out a lot of the daytime !
As a ‘quick and dirty’ solution you would need to create the topic
Then in a new item I’ll add in the dashboard enter the post ID and the Topic ID
This will then create a new reply.
It will keep the existing comments.
from memory bbpress uses ‘anonymous’ for any user that no longer exists, but if you create a ‘deleted user’ I might be able to add that to the code
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsok if you can wait a day or 2, then I’ll write a small plugin that will do that, most of the code already exists.
In reply to: Import single post and its commentsOk, I am just a volunteer who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author, but I have written a number of bbpress related plugins.
I also took over a defunct plugin called
I did not write this, I just did enough coding to get it working again.
if you are code savvy, then function build_topic on line 485 of index.php should give you some code that you could maybe use in a plugin or use the code snippets plugin.
otherwise if you only have a few posts from which you want 2, you could enable it convert, disable it and then delete the topics (posts) you don’t want.
yes you are right, it does do that if the topic id is set to 0.
I’m pretty sure that this has not always been the case, so I suspect a newer version of software (say WordPress or php) is doing this.
I will take a look when I get a moment, but if you create a reply in the backend, then it must know what topic it is attached to, so you need to fill in the topic id.
If you complete a topic ID then it all works.
I suspect that very few people ever create a reply in the backend – users should not have access to this, so it is only moderators and keymasters that can see this – as without a topic ID it is pointless, and you would almost always be in the front end when you spotted that you needed to post a reply.
so thankyou for reporting this, and if you have a compelling reason to need to use the backend, do come back.
In reply to: Forum Profileclicking on another users profile in the forums should take you to their profile. Is this not the case for your site?
In reply to: Confused by bbPress Codex set up instructionsI suspect it works well with Kadence, but I am just a volunteer here, and don’t have the time to find out what combination works.
I presume you tried the fix in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
Otherwise I have no specific theme to recommend as bbpress works with almost all themes I have seen.
I have seen it working for i-max and flash to name just 2
In reply to: Confused by bbPress Codex set up instructionsok, so every website is a unique combination of themes, plugins, settings and content.
Whilst WordPress has a string set of protocols that authors use, different themes and plugins may clash.
I have just tried Kadence and get an error of ‘No matching template found’.
Sorry but the instructions work for a default WordPress theme.
If you have got the site working, then great. If you still have problems, then can you ask Kadence if they can help.
Do come back if you get further info.
In reply to: Confused by bbPress Codex set up instructionson shortcodes this the list of bbpress ones
In reply to: Confused by bbPress Codex set up instructionsok what theme are you using?
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) works fine as far as I know
