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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
‘If you can do this, I will love you forever and donate some cash as this will meet my clients requirements.’ I think my wife would be worried at the first, but delighted by the second !
It should now be quite doable, as I found a better fix to another area which I can re-use, so I’ll get to work on it, and come back hopefully later today or tomorrow
great – glad you fixed now – we get there in the end !
Ok thanks, the screen shots help immensely.
I’ll take a look
great – if you fix it, please post the solution here to help others !
probably a conflict

ok, so put this in your functions file
//This function adds the author to the reply
function bbp_author_display () {
if (bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_topic_author_id() ) {
echo '<span class="topic-author">' ;
echo '<ul><li>' ;
echo 'Topic Author' ;
echo '</li></ul></span>' ;
}
else return ;
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'bbp_author_display') ;
and this in your style.css
#bbpress-forums .topic-author{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #5BB75B;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
padding: 5px;
}
Job done !
Interesting, this doesn’t happen on my site, but then all sites are different !
When you say that the ‘dropdown’ is missing do you mean the list that is shown beside ‘use an existing topic in this forum’
and what happens – is it missing, or has blank entries or what?
Come back and I’ll try to help further
‘if topic author is the same as reply author display label above reply author avatar, or below forum role. IF not the same dont display anything. ‘
Is this now the function you want or is this additional to other stuff – sorry I’m a bit confused !
Multiple user levels – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups plugin should do this
Capacity to see at a glance live updated list of who has commented – could be coded but is not in the current version.
Is there a way to integrate Dropbox – not that I know
He would like a tag cloud also. – yes that’s there
lots care, but just coming on here and spouting abuse is hardly likely to create a discussion !
‘Small world….you don’t cycle do you ?? ‘
No, strictly powered transport !
Has the profile ever worked, or is this a new isuue- and how old is the forum ?
you’re just down the road from me, I’m in Rotherfield!
I’ll take a look this evening or tomorrow and come back !
bbpress will use your standard page template.
see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
for the order and which one to look for.
But it is styling that will determine the width.
look in your theme’s style.css for code something like
#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
margin-left: 545px;
width: 190px;
}
and you may need to play with the content
#content {
float: left;
width:500px;
}
If you just want it changed for bbpress pages, then try
#bbpress-forums.sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
margin-left: 545px;
width: 190px;
}
may or may not work, css not my strong point !
can you give us a link to your website?
‘You can pass wp_query args into bb_has_topics(), but I can only only come up with code that shows topics from one forum – not multiple forums.’
I’m afraid I don’t have time at the moment to do lots of coding for others, but take a look at this plugin
bbp Private Groups
Look at includes/topics.php for how I did this for private groups – called pg_has_topics, it may give you some help – I used ‘post__in’ to create a list of topics to display
So you could do a coupe of loops to create this list and the pass that to the bbp_has_topics function.
‘post__in’ is realy, useful sometimes
see
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
if marked private, then your csv compare should pick that up !
ok, could be lots of things, presume you’ve referred back to your developer?
and presume this is a new installation of bbpress, so has never worked?
I’d start by trying :
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 stuff !
It always amazes me how long I spend to produce so little code 🙂
Bet you learned a lot along the way though!
@robkk
‘I would like the topic starter label throughout a topic , for whatever number pages it may have ‘
So Stephen’s advice is good then, follow his link and put the topic at the start of each page !
great -come back if you need to !
great – so you’re fixed ?
Sorry, yes I have been elsewhere.
Sorry I’m not good enough to know how to do this, hopefully someone will be along to help you – sorry !
