bbpress just uses WordPress login, so the issue lies with your site/wordpress
ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.
Then come back
I cannot see an obvious error.
in which file in your theme are you putting this ?
php can haveissues with the various quote marks, particularly if they have been copy/pasted so maybe type the line in again by hand, rather than copy
and then change the menu item from a ‘forum link’ to the page you’ve created
ok, I’d suggest you take the breadcrumb out as well – that’s the
Home › Forums › Community
So put this in your theme’s custom css area
div.bbp-breadcrumb {
display: none !important;
}
ok,
dashboard>pages>add new
give it a title of community
and in the content put
[bbp-single-forum id=4011]
and publish and view the oage
This should then show this forum in a page
if that works, then come back with the url and I’ll tell you what to do next
ok, poorly asked question by me !
Let me try a couple pf questions, then I’ll see if I can help
1. in dashboard>appearance>menus how is the menu item ‘community’ set up. Is this a custom link or a forum or a page(look at the right hand side of the item in the menu part)
2. is community the only forum you are planning ?
yes please, it should give us the full error
do you know how to turn debug in ?
do you have the full error message?
your theme has a css rule
.content-wrapper.with-featured-image {
margin: -4.7em 0 0 120px;
padding: 1.3em 55px 0 1.9em;
}
Basically the ‘margin: -4.7em’ bit is causing the forum to show at a minus height, thus crashing into the header.
the forums page (https://badasscrafters.com/forums/) has the rule without-featured-image so is fine.
Do you have a ‘forums’ page – ie you have a page in your site which has the shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]
I just googled ‘A variable mismatch has been detected’ (googling an error is always a good start)
and got this as a thread
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-variable-mismatch-has-been-detected-6/
which suggests might be worth you looking at php versions
@ajtruckle split works fine on my test sites for 2.5.x and 2.6.x, hence why I am suggesting site for database issue for your site.
do you mean create a forum, or create a topic on an existing forum?
@cassel – maybe ideally – but only so much you can expect for free! you can move it after splitting
@ajtruckle – that looks site specific, or maybe even that topic.
probably theme specific – try changing a theme as a test. Then contact theme provider
so have you guys tried ‘split’ in the front end – this should let you split the reply to a new topic on the same forum. Once that is done you can move it to another forum on the backend
great – glad you are fixed
ok, it is site specific.
so you will need to look at disabling plugins and changing themes to establish where the issue is – I can’t help with how you do that in a live environment.
You should look at getting a test site
put this in the custom css area of your theme
.bbp-pagination-count {
display : none !important ;
}
yes, but depends on exactly what you mean.
I’d put all of them in.
yes the asterisk means anything starting with so
http://www.site.com/forums/*
would cover
http://www.site.com/forums/forum/fred
I assume you realise that you should replace http://www.site.com with the name of your site !
