Few more small issues marked in red on the image attached.

1. when creating a new topic, why does the title bar show in another language ?
2. how can I keep the wordpress header and footer the same width as it should be, using this theme it becomes narrow ?

3. how can I change or remove the logo at the top and drop the search bar down under the nav bar or have it in the side bar under create new topic.

@cmistico Could you create a new ticket for us to track this for you please.

If you could include what version of HHVM you are using and any errors messages you see, also anything that you think will help us replicate your issue would be great.

Hi all,
I have this site
http://www.analisidelsangue.net with bbpress forum here

Dubbi sulle tue analisi? Fai una domanda sul forum

(about 5k users and 20k post and replies)

After switch to wordpress 4.7 I don’t see more the replies of forum in my backend
I’m using HHVM instead of PHP 7.0– if I use PHP 7.0 all works properly.

But I’d like to use HHVM because my blog is faster
Please can you help me in some way?
thnkx a lot

Please keep an eye on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3028 (Or #bbPress in Slack)

I’m actively trying to resolve the as we speak and will post updates to that ticket

Ok, have found this:

The repair tool “Recalculate private and hidden forums” has a bug in it 🙁

When that repair tool is run private and hidden forum are assigned both _bbp_private_forums and _bbp_hidden_forums statuses so this is why a user with the Participant role could not read a private forum as after that tool had been run it was also been given the hidden status also.

The workaround for this is to do exactly what you did by “changing each forum from Private to Public back to Private” as this doesn’t touch the broken repair tool and sets the visibility status correctly.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512

So, “changing each forum from Private to Public back to Private” fixed my issue.

[Robin W]

yes use my private groups plugin to set visibility public

ran the wp update – never had your problems.

my problem was: couldn’t see the forums in wp-admin and that was sorted by installing simple plugin “User Role Editor” as suggested here by Cydrop: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-forums-tab-in-wordpress-dashboard/#post-140838

[Victor Campuzano]

I have the same issue. I updated to wordpress 4.7 and lost settings and capabilities from my admin users. All are keymaster.

I created a new admin account and they has all privileges and capabilities. Tabs (Forums, Replies, etc.) are back for this account but not in others.

Hi Guys

I have TinyMCE loading in my forum for when people post to it and I’m using a plugin ( https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/visual-editor-custom-buttons/faq/) that allows me to add custom buttons to TinyMCE. These buttons appear just fine in the backend when creating posts/pages but the new buttons do not appear in the forum post area.

I have this function in my functions.php for adding TinyMCE in forum.

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
  
    $args['tinymce'] = array('toolbar1' => 'bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquote, alignleft, aligncenter, alignright, alignjustify, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, link, unlink, image, removeformat, pastetext',); 
    $args['quicktags'] = false;
    $args['teeny'] = true;

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

How do I get the buttons created in this plugin to appear in the front end forum area?

[AITpro]

Hey guys,
I have the most current version of bbPress installed: 2.5.11
Just installed WordPress 4.7
These Top Level menus are not being displayed due to a “capabilities” issue. Forums, Topic and Replies. ie I do not have sufficient permissions to view those menus or any bbPress menus anywhere.

If I go to the WP Dashboard and click links in the metabox I see this error: Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type. I will be looking at forums/capabilities.php and other capabilities.php files to see if I can figure this out, but just wanted to give you a Heads Up about this. Of course this could be isolated to my sites. I deactivated all other plugins and the same issue is still occurring. So it does appear to be an issue directly with bbPress capabilities.

Hi,

I use ZotPress reference manager and the WP plugin. I would like to include the Zotpress plugin’s functionality for searching for the references I have already recorded in Zotpress and then insert them into my topic.

I am just looking how to modify the topic post template in bbpress so that it shows this plugin interface for Zotpress.

I have looked on the forum how to do this, but I cannot find how the bbpress template inserts the plugin interface for other plugins. This plugin’s reference insertion interface shows up in the standard worpress new blog template page fine. I would like to do the same for bbpress topic post template.

I used wordpress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.11. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello,

I’ve tried to get the forum layout from my website from the standard layout to the bbp-style-pack alternate template layout. Because it didn’t work within the plugin i replied to a topic already started by someone and got in a conversation with @robin-w (see topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-style-setup/).

After trying a lot of things nothing worked and i’m still trying to get this working. I’ve put the loop-forums.php in my theme directory, changed it in the editor within WordPress but nothing changed. And this make me concern that something is not right. How is it possible that changes made to this copy of loop-forums.php are not showing?

Is there anyone that can help me out with the layout and with the fact that the edits to the php file are not showing?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi! We have bbpress installed on a relatively large wpengine-hosted wordpress site. Suddenly, about a week ago, all pages started redirecting back to the homepage. Annoyingly, changing the permalink settings back to “Plain” fixes the issue, but that kills our SEO and breaks all hardcoded links back to our forum. We’ve set it to Plain on our production site temporarily, but need Postname permalinks to work again. On our staging site, you can see how any page does a 301 redirect back to the homepage (example: http://fiverrforum.staging.wpengine.com/categories/welcome/community-rules-guidelines). Wpengine support says that our htaccess files look good and are standard, and insist the problem lies with bbpress. They’re adamant the problem relates to a setting within bbpress or with how bbpress is handling permalinks. I’ve tried disabling plugins to see if it’s a conflict of some sort, and the issue persists. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

my bbpress search widgets does not work with my theme
im using biscayalite theme 2.1.1
and bbpress 2.5.11
wordpress version 4.6.1
however when i change to default theme the search works fine
the probleme with changing my theme is that i did a lot of work on my theme i can’t afford to redo the work .
is there any solution to this probleme without changing the theme ?
thank you

[Robin W]

theme and bbpress both displaying

you can turn off the bbpress breadcrumbs using

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or by using the style pack plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

An easy way to find bbpress themes is looking for wordpress themes with their own bbpress template (theme).

To difficult find just a bbpress theme.

You can also use a WordPress default theme and customize your bbpress through child themes or a custom css plugin.

@consultjoseph @siparker Sorry it took me so long to respond to you guys.

I am using the version of this plugin I put on Github in a beta test of a site I’m moving from Joomla to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.6121 and am using a child theme of Twentysixteen.

The biggest thing is that with the version of the plugin I’m using, bbPress Settings need to be adjusted:

1. Go into Forum Settings and set “Forum Root” to “forums”
2. UN-check Forum Prefix – you do NOT want to prefix all forum content the Forum Root Slug
3. Make sure that the Single Forum Slug for “Forum” is “forum”

Next, go into Permalink Settings:

1. Under Common Settings, select “Post Name”
2. Save changes

If you don’t set or RESET your permalinks, you will get 404s! But if you reset your permalinks after activating the plugin, everything will work.

I expect to take my beta site live within a week or so; when I do I’ll provide a link to the permanent live site so you can see the bbPress URLs in action.

[Robin W]

yes, use

Im wanting to add a forum to my wordpress site, I dont know how much it will grow but i want it to be flexible, i’m not a coder or designer, I only know the basics,

I know in the past bbpress had a lot of issue and was lacking in features but i’m assuming this must be possible now.

Im wanting a good looking full featured forum as good as any stand alone forum(xenforo, phpbb, mybb).

can this be done ?
if so how ?
How can I add the extra feature without bloating the site ?
Can i download any pre made bbpress.css ?

any good example

[Thomas_k]

@robin-w

I disabled all plugins except bbpress and still it looks like the standard version.

There are no other loop-forums.php files in my directory. What should i do? I’m really out of idea’s man.

Isn’t there a small chance you can take 10-15 minutes to look trough skype? I’ll give you access to my wordpress.

Thomas
