If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
ok, I thin k this is your theme – can you try a default one such as twentyten, just as a test
ok, did you do either of
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time. Useful if you’ve got some stuff not showing – doesn’t often fix but occasionally does.
so presume you are fixed?
ok, I don’t think you have the standard index template
Have you got in your theme the following file
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or have you amended
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
what other plugins do you have?
viz
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.
Great – glad you’re fixed !
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Don’t know – never tried it ! 🙂
sorry without spending a large amount of time and code, best I can come up with.
Currently it is using the bbpress.php template
which you got from where, and have put where?
You originally posted a picture of a screen with ‘…marketing forum’ which I took to be a forum not a topic, and therefore I posted a solution for forum.
Now you have posted a topic without a description, complaining that my solution did not work which it would have as it is a topic not a forum, the forum being the solution to the original picture.
Please re-describe what exactly it is that you do want. and how/where you would expect to post a topic description?, are you expecting topic creators to have an area to put a description?
Yours confused …
no firm ideas except that you blocked yourself by mistake !
yes, just create a topic, no forums, and then create a page with the following shortcode
[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
That way you’ll just have a page with that one topic.
dashboard>settings>forums and look for the forum slugs
Dashboard>forums>all forums and edit the forum you want
then just put the description in the content
ok, so is it the same with plugins disabled and default theme as per
Before Posting
and how is your forums page constructed – eg shortcodes, bbpress.php file etc.
Can you confirm that
Default theme – eg twentyten
bbpress
Jetpack
and NOTHING ELSE installed causes the issue?
sorry, but helpers on here do not have the time to look for differences between two screens.
Can you specify which bit of what screen is wrong.
and while you are at it, can you do the tests in
Before Posting
and then come back.
