ok, if you still have a problem after bytes for all have looked at it, come back
Don’t panic !!
Mthod 2 is producing an excerpt of the page, which is being caused by the template it is using.
I’ll come back later and help you further !
ok, I’d try two things
1. use method 2
2. switch to a default theme for a moment to see if this is a theme problem
Can I export the entire site from inside the backend as a superadmin? Or do I need phpMyAdmin to do it?
I’d use phpmyadmin, rather than wp import/export, as the you know you’ve got everything
This is my first time with a forum, and I have been warned that nothing has been updated in a REALLY long time.
what version of bbpress is it running?
My biggest concern is the privacy – I am assuming that the forum settings are set to private?
once you got it in, you cam make it private quite easily if it isn’t already. Private forums are hidden from you unless you are logged in.
ok, lets work this through
You say you’re a superadmin – does this mean its a multi-site installation? they’re not my forte, but if this is just a single site then….
First of all bbpress is a plugin, so you’ll still need wordpress (and it holds the users), and since the existing theme has all the styling that you users are used to, then it would be sensible to use that as well.
So in effect what you need to do is just import a full copy of the installation, and then take out the pages and posts, and you have a forum without the rest of the site !
Since you have a test site, then follow the guidance in
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
and then just go into posts and pages to delete those (apart from the forum page), and amend the custom menu if you have one.
Not sure why you would be getting this, 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.
I can’t tell from your link what the issue is – do you mean commented as with a post, or they have created a forum reply and if so which one?
ok, the template for the forum index isn’t used. Bbpress looks for your theme template fiels and uses them instead.

I have marletpress and bbpress running quite happily together.
I suggest you contact you host provider for help
Do you have a caching software, and have you re-freshed your browser?
great, glad you’re fixed !
Hate to answer my own post.. anyway
Hey, no brilliant that you did, sorry we didn’t get to you sooner !
Fantastic that you posted the solution, this will help others searching for it in future !
@sidelancer
so are you fixed, or do you still need help?
Robin is busy showing pigs at an agricultural show.
As far as I can see you’re making good progress with Rob.
naa stil did not work.
What did not work, you’ve now lost the toolbar and got profile edit? But just in the footer as well?
Can we have a summary of what your remaining issue is?
should be something like
add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length','change_title') ;
Function change_title ($default) {
$default=60 ;
Return $default ;
}
try this in your functions file – if not come back, but suppers ready and I haven’t time to test!
Uh?? You’ve lost me !
If you have a child theme, your functions file should be in the child theme, and that is where you should put it. If there was a functions file in your main theme, then you should have left that alone. if there wasn’t then there shouldn’t be.
The error is saying that it is likely you have whitespace in line 1 of your awesome theme, which I think is your child theme.
the error code is saying that you have whitespace in
wp-content/themes/awesome/functions.php:1
If this is a blank file, then delete it.
If not, then it has a problem on line 1
suspect you have a whitespace in your functions file
Whitespace before <?php when “functions.php line 1” mentioned
If the message says the error is in line 1, then it is typically leading whitespace, text or HTML before the opening <?php marker.
eg
<?php
not
<?php
great – glad you’re fixed !
great – glad you’re fixed !
Thanks for not just abandoning.
I’d be happy to take that plugin over and keep it updated as I use it on one of my forums.
so yes add me as commit access – name is Robin W
and I’ll happily take it over !
it is in
\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
However it would be easiest to change the text using a function which you put in your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I also moved template-full-width.php, to my child theme, and called it bbpress.php. After doing this, nothing has changed except now the forum specific sidebar, that came with the theme, does not show up.
so what would you like to happen, all I can see on your site is your forum with a sidebar
