    Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

    The files you may want to edit are.

    loop-search-forum.php
    loop-search-topic.php
    loop-search-reply.php
    loop-search.php

    These templates are in the bbPress plugin, and you can copy them over into your child theme so that customizations won’t be lost after a bbPress plugin update.

    I am not sure if expression engine only searches for topics, but I cannot find how to exclude certain posts from the forum search.

    You can also use some search enhancing plugins if you want. There are some plugins that search custom post types like Search Everything. I have also seen users hook up Google Custom Search too.

    Sorry for the late reply, I just approved this post.

    Do your bbPress pages have titles?? I think the Name not showing is because the title of the page is the user’s name.

    Sorry for the late reply, I just approved this post.

    The topic you went to is 5 years ago when bbPress was a standalone forum software but the latest version of bbPress IS A PLUGIN of WordPress.

    If you are using the latest bbPress plugin, you are using the WordPress dashboard to manage all your topics, replies, and forums.

    I think you disabled the forum search or just haven’t enabled it.

    As an alternative you can also include the bbPress posts into the regular WordPress search.

    Plugin, snippet, hack to include bbpress topics in wordpress search

    From what I could see, on your bbPress pages there was blog post data like the continue reading button.
    You may need to create a bbpress.php file to get rid of all the post meta data on your bbPress pages.

    Sorry I didn’t see approve the topic you created last week, but I did approve this one.

    Right now I am just going to go through this list real quick right now, but I might discuss more later today or after you reply again.

    • 1 – THere is an option to enable/disable oembeds, maybe disabling feeds could be useful though. SEO options may stay in a seperate plugin, but it depends on what specific things, maybe custom titles since you mentioned that.
    • 2 – SEO might be best if it was a seperate plugin like Yoasts plugin. The most important meta tags for your forums are the title and description tag, all the others are handled by either WordPress/your theme or another SEO plugin.
    • 3 – I can’t really say much about bbcodes, you can already use the html tags. You probably want something like spoiler tags I bet.
    • 4 – I can’t really say much about this either, it’s really a toss up. There needs to more people wanting this feature in core possibly? It might be better to have the autosuggest feature in the forum search instead.
    • 5 – Toss up for the external links plugin. I really like the Report content plugin.
    • 6 – bbPress already does this and the devs have this in mind for users. There probably shouldn’t be options for everything possible though, the settings area might become cluttered.
    • 7 – Yeah, maybe.
    • 8 – Not sure, I need a devs opinions on this.
    • 9 – There was a plugin that use to customize things like this, and it seems to be removed from the WordPress plugin repository.
    • 10 – I think I made a trac ticket about this, this might be possible with some other pieces of code implemented into bbPress 2.6.
    • 11 – You can easily do this with an SEO plugin.
    • 12 – I don’t think those plugins require flash to be used?? BuddyPress already has an upload avatar function. Heck it might be good for WordPress to implement something like this but they want users to use the Gravatar service, which is pretty handy though.
    • 13 – Grunion Contact Form is in the Jetpack plugin now. I don’t think bbPress should have a contact form module in it.
    • 14 – I think this might matter more in your theme. I think the bbPress templates are fine though.

    Sorry for the late reply, your topic was marked as spam and I had to manually approve it.

    Bulk accepting users in groups might be better to ask the BuddyPress support team.

    I did find this though, so maybe ask them to see if they would add it to core/or if the code snippet would help you.

    This is CSS from your theme that is causing the issue.

    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-name, 
    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-role, 
    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-ip {
        display: block;
        font-size: 9px;
        letter-spacing: 1px;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        overflow: hidden;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }

    Using this Custom CSS could fix your issue. Place the custom CSS where you can put CSS code snippets like a custom CSS plugin, some option in your theme, etc. Add !important if it still does not work.

    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-name, 
    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-role, 
    .x-bbp-item-info-content .x-bbp-item-info-author .bbp-author-ip {
        overflow: visible;
        text-overflow: inherit;
        white-space: inherit;
    }

    Click my profile link to see my profile, and click the contact me link then email me the username and password there.

    Also I tried the username and password you provided here on your site, and they seem not to work for some reason.

    Hmm only the forums menu item is missing? I wonder if this is related to something I saw on these forums eariler. I will check on it.

    @robkk

    Yeah it is best if you already have some kind of community then build your forums from that. Things that could build a community could be you being active in discussion in other social networks like on your Facebook page, Twitter, and Youtube channel. You could also easily build your forums if you have active commentators on your WordPress blog.

    There is also a plugin that could just replace the WordPress commment form with bbPress topics, so if you are an active blogger this will help drive your community to the forums.

    Did you find out out what is causing the issue?

    @robkk

    Moderator

    Does it work fine using a default theme?

    Have you cleared some cache/set up caching correctly?

    Do the forums have a hidden status?

    Did you copy and modify the bbPress templates in your theme heavily?

    @robkk

    I looked in the source code and I see no Open Graph tags on your bbPress pages, and it all seems to be working fine to me.

    Creating topics from posts in an RSS feed is probably possible with the FeedWordPress plugin, you may have to make sure you configure it correctly for bbPress though.

    Turning bbPress into a feed aggregator or a re-aggregator is a great idea to bring discussion into your forums.

    How the imported content is presented and how much of it you are importing could be crucial to user engagement to your site though.

    Try not to steal some other sites posts though.

    WHat theme is it?

    Link to your site so I can check it out.

    With a default theme as your active them , deactivate all plugins but bbPress then see if the issue is still present.

    An update to any of the plugins could cause issues with bbPress.

    Start activating the plugins the kleo theme support suggested one by one, then go from there to see what is causing an issue.

    Try this.

    Create a child theme if you haven’t already, and copy the bbPress template files into your child theme.

    This guide will tell you what folders containing files you can copy over into your theme.
