hmmm… not sure what to suggest – looks like there has been some sort of corruption.
Given that you have nothing set up yet, I’d try
dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
This should delete all the forum data, and hopefully let you start again.
user management info now done in version 2.4 !
so you get the ‘forums’, ‘topics’ and ‘replies’ in dashboard and when you click forums this is what you get?
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
great – glad you’re fixed
is this a new forum, or an existing one that has gone wrong?
no problem – glad you’re fixed
add my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates and select alternate template
ok, you probably need to reach out to the author of that plugin
let me take a look at how easy that is to do
bit more digging
it would appear that wordpress 4.7 takes out the filter capability
https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2964
there is plugin that puts it back
https://github.com/WP-API/rest-filter
Otherwise I think they now want you to filter at the client end.
so http://MY_SITE.COM/wp-json/wp/v2/posts gives you all the posts, and then you pick those that are the right post type.
If you try the plugin above, then I think
http://MY_SITE.COM/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[type]=topic
does it
Please do report progress back !!
Do you know how to put code in your theme’s function file ?
if so add this to it
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_do_not_reply_address’, ‘noreply@swissinformatics.org' );
and that will not get overwritten on upgrade of bbpress plugin
Of course that will need a child theme, as otherwise it will get lost on a theme update !
If any of that not clear (or not possible) come back !
any chance of a link to your site?
The below is offered as potential help, and in an effort to help, so if it is rubbish, then please come back, and I will try to help further.
bbpress uses the standard wordpress posts, but with post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ instead of ‘post’ and ‘page’, and bbpress code itself basically uses wp_query to access the database.
The glossary for wordpress api says
GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts to get a collection of Posts. This is roughly equivalent to using WP_Query.
so I’d imagine that you would just use the same sort of call, and use wp_query parameters to return what you wanted.
So if for wordpress you had a command that gave you say the latest 5 posts, then this same command would work but just changing whatever that code has for post_type=’post’ to post_type=’topic’
If you wanted topics from a particular forum, you would add the equivalent of post_parent = ID where ID was the forum ID
In essence if you can tell me what you want, I can give you the wp_query, and you could hopefully translate this into json.
Does any of that make sense? 🙂
I know nothing of rest, but there’s one for wordpress http://v2.wp-api.org/ does that help?
For example some one reply today on my post 3 days ago, that post display by date today on top.
Is how it should work – is this not what is happening?
or if it is, what do you want to happen?

the topic index shortcode in my style pack plugin might be what you need
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to see what is available and how it works
thanks, hopefully you are now fixed !
hey nice site (once I had turned the music off 🙂 !!)
Glad to have helped !
agree it’s a really nice site
Sorry – but beyond free help
I’d need a link to your site (not access, just the site where I can see this menu) to see what it is doing
