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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

In reply to: Old version of Bbpresshttps://codex.bbpress.org/ and look at the bottom, every version is available
In reply to: Permissions issueNo problem, set the forums to private and only registered users will see them
If you want some visibility to encourage new users use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-forum-visibility/
to control access
In reply to: Permissions issueNot quite sure where you are saying that they enter this – is this on their facebook account – surely that’s just the same as the url you quoted in para 1.
Are your forums private? – that would prevent access
In reply to: WordPress 4.0 Broke BBpressok, thanks for the explanation
In reply to: WordPress 4.0 Broke BBpressyou can change permalinks within wordpress
Dashboard>settings>permalinks
changing to postname is the popular option
In reply to: Remove SidebarThere is an issue with wp4.0 and default permalinks.
This gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1
There are 3 workarounds
1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings
Dashboard>settings>permalinks
The most often used is ‘postname’
This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.
2. revert to 3.9.2
see
for quite a good video on how to do it
3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums
and keep monitoring this site for a solution.
In reply to: How to change the root directoryIf I understand you correctly then
Dashboard>settings>forums and turn off Forum Prefix
In reply to: Remove Sidebargreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: BBpress topic and posts positioningIn reply to: Remove SidebarIn reply to: My bbpress doesn't workyou website is coming up with http errors

Suggest you start by getting these fixed and see if you still have an issue
In reply to: 2 roles instead of 1Can you explain a bit more about what you want?
Roles have capabilities, and are hieracrchical, so having two bbpress roles would be kinda pointless
If you just want a second name here, then you could use
In reply to: menu issue on forum in private areagreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Forum Errorwhich did you do?
In reply to: menu issue on forum in private areaforums is a virtual page – ie it doesn’t exist (not that pages really exist anyway!), and is not a ‘post ‘ in the wordpress sense of post
Rather than use the forums widget, why not just use a text widget, just put this in the content
<a href= "http://harveylakeland.com/forums">Community Forums </a>In reply to: Full Width Forum Pagesok, just looked and all the pages look fine now except the forum page – is that correct?
bbpress should use the bbpress template for all the pages, so you can’t really css the individuals (or not without tons of code).
How are you going to the initial forum ? is it method 1 or 2 from the following
and whichever try the other !
Once you are consistently wrong on all pages, you can make it consistently right !
In reply to: menu issue on forum in private areathe forums don’t have ‘pages’ they are all posts with post numbers.
If you go to
dashboard>forums>all forums and click the edit button in the url at the top you’ll see
http://www.mysite.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=11316&action=edit
11316 will be the forum number
Apart from that I am struggling to understand your problem
Can you post some screenshots of what the issue is and what you would like it to show
In reply to: Why do some of my titles show weird charactershmm, these are html’s way of displaying the symbols of the keyboard. They shouldn’t show up.

In reply to: Forum ErrorThis is a recent issue with wp4.0, and there is a bug fix outstanding for this.

In reply to: Full Width Forum Pagesthat’s a bit of styling needed
add
#bbpress-forums {
margin: 25px !important;
width: 960px !important;
}to your theme’s style sheet, or preferably to your child theme
In reply to: Full Width Forum PagesSorry, you’ll need to explain what the remaining issue is – it’s probably obvious to you, but not to me looking at the links.
Please explain rather than just posting links 🙂
In reply to: Change Forum ID for a Given TopicThe forum is held as the post_parent in wp_posts
so you would update this
eg
// Update topic 37 $my_post = array( 'ID' => 37, 'post_parent' => 27 ); // Update the post into the database wp_update_post( $my_post );where 27 is the id of the parent forum
