The link comes up with page not found
I have added a note in the step by step guide part 3 which should help, but if you think it’s not clear or find anywhere else that’s confusing, then please let me know.
I always welcome suggested text – someone who has just worked it out always writes better explanations that someone who is already familiar ! so if you want to post suggested text or alterations here, please do and suggest where they should go.
Thanks again, we can only improve the documentation if we get good feedback like this:-)

This is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412
The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config
This is just information and should not affect its working
No problem, the spam catcher sometimes get too enthusiastic !
I will presume you’re now fixed, unless you come back
When you read the bbpress information when it comes to customizing templates php ect it says to create a bbpress folder
I’ll take another look to see if we can improve the wording.
‘bbpress’ templates do need to go into a bbpress folder, but creating a ‘theme’ template for bbpress needs to go in the theme root.
I think that what it says, but clearly it’s not that clear 🙂
Thanks for posting
ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this

the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.
Read this first for background
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
so try the following
1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme
As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
but either way keep a copy of it.
Come back if this isn’t clear
after trying some different settings
is not really very helpful.
what did you try ?
great – glad you’re fixed
Hey great, glad that you are fixed, an sort of see what he has changed (essentially the code was executing for a page which bbpress is and he’s essentially limited it to categories). Chances are that it won’t affect anything else.
I presume he will release this as a permanent fix at some stage, but in the meantime, keep a note of this change, in case it gets overwritten by a plugin update.
ok, so what is the slug in
dashboard>settings>forums forum root slug
forum root
?
so if you go into Dashboard do you see forums/topics/replies as items, and if so, can you see topics etc.
Beyond @netweb’s links above, what help do you need?
so if you go into Dashboard do you see forums/topics/replies as items, and if so, can you see topics etc.
And what backup for data did you have? ie were all posts copied including custom posts?
ok, the database entry for usermeta is correct, and a moderator should be able to see forums in the dashboard.
I’m stuck as to what to suggest next, usually not see dashboard items is a conflict between bbpress and another plugin, but you’ve already tested for that.
My only other thought is to create a new mamp, and then export and import forums to it and see if it’s something in that.
hmmm… This conmbination should be able to see forums in the dashboard
Do you still have bbPress Advanced Capabilities in the mix? I’d still suspect this to be the issue if you have eliminated plugins and themes.
ok, glad you’re fixed, I was just absorbing your problem and trying to think what was causing it when I saw your later response 🙂
Try changing the ‘slug’ in the settings to forum
Dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum root slug
no problem but please come back with further info when you have it to help anyone in futire who sees this thread at a later stage.
From a quick look these are the ‘responsive’ sections of the theme.
http://docs.shopify.com/support/your-website/themes/what-is-a-responsive-theme
Taking them out just makes your theme look the same all over – which if that suits you is absolutely fine.
