the forums you want to be categories , edit each forum and change the type to category.
for each forum you want to be a forum to that category ,edit the forum and add a parent to be that specific category.
to reorder all the forums change the order number.
this is how the order of each forum should be in the end. after the dash is the order number.
category one – 0
forum 1 – 1
forum 2 – 2
category two – 3
forum 3 – 4
forum 4 – 5
forum 5 – 6
category three – 7
forum 6 – 8
go into the backend find the topic then trash in there.
it should be topics>all topics
then search the topic
hover over the topic and you should see the usual admin links especially the trash link.
you can also edit the topic and clicking move to trash.
@dimplefacect
glad you found the information you needed , the links i should have gave you either of these two
this one is cut to the chase
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
and this one is more explanatory and has more steps to help improve your forum.
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
if you need anymore guides for bbPress the codex is a great place to look.
There is a ticket for a future release.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989
you can hide them all with CSS
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
display: none;
}
if you want to delete the old revisions use a plugin like WP-Sweep

@conarchcpl
this looks about right, as long as its a child theme you should be good if your theme updates so you wont lose any customizations.
if you already moved everything from the original topic to the new one, trash the topic to remove it.
well step by step its pretty much this
copy page.php using FTP or your hosts file manager
rename to bbpress.php using FTP or your hosts file manager
remove unwanted code from bbpress.php using an editor like notepad++ through FTP or your hosts file manager.
TIPS:
make sure that the bbpress.php is in the root of your child theme.
remove unwanted code like comments code , something like this <?php comments_template(); ?>
^^ that is if you want forums on pages.
@findmyrep
follow the getting started guides by following this link.
Codex
@arunkumaridi33
use this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-forum-redirect/
edit forum 1 and scroll to the very bottom and add the url of forum 2.
save the forum
now it should redirect.
use the bbPress shortcodes
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
this plugin will help you out find any posts ID
https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/
go to forums>all forums and you should see the ids
yeah i bet, if you dont find another plugin issue you probably need to hire someone to fix it for you.
i just checked my site just in case to see if the new version of bbPress is causing this issue, and its not bbPress.
@eastdevonalliance
i sent like 3 emails to help you.
if it didnt send they basically said
deactivate Relevenssi because it has had issues with bbPress before
deactivate Disable Comments because if you didnt create a bbpress.php it might cause issues.
check for conflicting CSS in the topic area
clear cache because i cant think of anything else.
to create a forum go to forums>new forum in the wordpress backend
I don’t see how I customize it or set up topics or set up so only certain people can subscribe to it
for certain people to subscribe to it might be custom development post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
Is there a video I can watch on how to start?
there is guides in the bbPress codex , but no videos
Codex
you can search youtube for a tutorial, make sure its at least in the past 2 years, anything older than that might be for the old versions of standalone bbPress.
ahhh so they have admin capabilities then since they have the WordPress role of Admin.
well , when i registered through i think the BuddyPress registration form, and i cant see anywhere to get into the backend right now.
see if another plugin is causing the issue.
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.
what is your definition of admin level access??
what is your definition of subscriber level access??
just to make sure i understand you well.
link to your site so i can check this out too.
@madvibes
its not bbPress its a WordPress thing.
you can deactivate your bbPress then switch to a user that is a subscriber then see if you can reach the WordPress Backend.
usually if the role is not admin it wont show plugin settings , theme/plugin editor , or anything they shouldn’t touch. they should only edit their profile.
but like i said if the subscriber user has admin capabilities , thats a real issue.
@madvibes
this plugin might help, subscribers and other roles usually can edit their profile in the wordpress backend, its not just for admins/authors/editors its just most users like it this way.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-no-show/
but if you do have it where your users register than have admin capabilities then go post a job at the link Robin provided.
@awpt
create an admin user for me so i can see whats causing the issue, and send the login details to my email.
Contact
email me some login details for an admin account you will create , so i can see the plugins and try to see what plugins might cause the issue.
im not going to deactivate any, i just really want to see the whole plugin list so you dont have to write it down here for me.
when im done , ill tell you to delete the admin account you created for me.
Contact
i tested the Bones framework custom post type archives and it shows the class, so does the downloads archive in Easy Digital Downloads , Woocommerce’s shop page has not problem though.
I dont know what to tell ya really??
@garrett-eclipse
yeah your right it is showing this class on the blog menu item for the bbPress custom post type archives, but i also checked some other cpt archives from jetpacks portfolio cpts and its doing the same thing.
i assume maybe all cpts?? but let me check a little more with some other plugins.
this is a known issue and will be resolved in a future release of bbPress.
here is the trac ticket so you can see the progress of the resolution to this issue.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2618
@wpgerd
thanks for posting that i havent really browsed the changes in the new version of bbPress thoroughly , i didnt catch the change to the notifications emails.
im probably going to ping the plugin devs to help out on these notification bug topics.
i think this should do it
you would probably need to add more code around it.
<?php bbp_last_topic_reply_permalink ?>
@madvibes
do you mean they can just see the backend of WordPress??
or that they have Admin Capabilities??
