    ok, I presume that bbpress is deactivated on the live site at the moment.

    I suspect that bbpress is using the wrong page template probably the one that the page “what the hinge” is using.

    Given that this is a paid theme from themeforest, so may have very complicated page templates, can you look and see what page templates are available that bbpress might be using

    add the following to your functions file, and the sub forum descriptions will display

    //This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
    function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
    
    	// Define used variables
    	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
    	$i = 0;
    	$count = array();
    
    	// Parse arguments against default values
    	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
    		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    		'after'             => '</ul>',
    		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
    		'link_after'        => '</li>',
    		'count_before'      => ' (',
    		'count_after'       => ')',
    		'count_sep'         => ', ',
    		'separator'         => ', ',

    	// Loop through forums and create a list
    	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
    	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {
    
    		// Total count (for separator)
    		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
    		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
    			$i++; // Separator count
    
    			// Get forum details
    			$count     = array();
    			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
    			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
    			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

    			}

    			// Build this sub forums link

    ah..

    I would expect it to look like the second by default. If you take out the starter theme does it revert to that?

    ‘Here’s a combined screen shot showing that page without (left) and with (right) bbPress activated’

    The screenshot wasn’t in your last post. Can you post it again ?

    Mine come within seconds/minutes. It will depend to some extent on your host provider, but I would contact them in any case to check that you have everything set up right in the host part.

    1) have you set up your email address in dashboard>settings>general?

    2) If registration is automatic, then they’ll be sent a password. They can change this in their bbpress profile – they can just click on their avatar, or you can add this to wdigets or the menu – see

    Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

    I’m making a list of useful plugins at the moment.

    can you post a list of yours and a URL to each

    Thanks

    @robin-w

    maybe theme or plugin related.

    Try

    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.

    @robin-w

    What wordpress theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    You don’t appear to be using bbPress.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Not really sure how to answer this given that your link goes to myBB software !

    I’ve not seen a ‘read more’ on a bbpress forum, and it would most likely to be theme related – that is you main theme.

    If you post a link to your bbpress forum, we can see the issue

    so you are left with a sidebar that has lots in it except your custom widget?

    Sorry I am a bit confused – can you explain further or post a couple of screenshots showing the two different situations, and a url link to your site.

    @robin-w

    on styling, yes all can be changed.

    see

    bbPress Styling Crib

    for lots of help.

    On your page http://atlantacraftbeer.com/beer-exchange/ – what is this page? In theory if it is a normal page with a sidebar, and you put the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on it it should work.
    How is this page set up?

    can you post a link?

    I’d try switching themes to test if it is a theme issue

    If I have understood correctly, you need to change the forums slug

    Dashboard>settings>forums and change forum root slug to in your case discuss

    Just had a two minute play with

    Looks like it would sort your who’s on line.

    I have no idea of this plugin works if you are using buddypress (it does with bbpress) but might be worth a quick test – let us know either way !

    yes and yes !

    bbPress uses the wordpress login, you simply have an additinla contro, to set the user access level to the forums.

    So each users has a wordpress access level and a bbpress access level, but only one login !

    great – glad you’re fixed !
