Hi,
Did you have this problem after running one of the bbPress repair tools ? I had this issue already when running e.g. “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” and if post IDs and post dates are not really aligned. It’s a known issue that should be fixed in the upcoming v2.6

EDIT: After the next reply, everything is then correctly refreshed.

This tells you why – almost certainly spaces in the file – in your case it is the post.php file instead of the wp-config.php file

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wordpress-error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information/

so the example in the link has

output started at //home/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php:1

but your error message says

output started at /public_html/wp-includes/post.php:1)

which explains the post.php file that you have been editing

Using: Buddypress 2.4.3, bbPress 2.5.8, WordPress 4.4

Theme is Trendyblog.

bbPress plugins: bbPress-WP-tweaks, bbPress toolbox

——————————————————————————————-

This is bizarre – most links to profiles on my website ego direct to he use profile as expected. In some cases though, where the user in mentioned in a topic name, the links foes to the topic instead of the profile.

For example:

A.J.’s profile link works correctly: http://www.bruuuce.com/members/a-j/
My profile, though, redirects to a topic: http://www.bruuuce.com/members/si/

The only thing I can think of is that both pages redirect to a topic that specifically mentions the user’s name. Could this be the cause, and how do I get around it?

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this, please?

Thanks for your time.

[Robin W]

can you confirm what version of bbpress and wordpress you are on, and that this occurred following an upgrade of bbpress

[vypersden]

I have old posts that won’t load, the browser just sits there trying to. They seem to be posts that were migrated, around 6 months ago. Newer posts don’t have a problem. I can edit the post in the backend.

I tried changing types of permalinks, used the forum repair tool, and lots of reading and can’t figure it out.

I am a newbie with this, so if it’s obvious, please let me know.

Hi tammy, my bbP Toolkit can do this. Have a look if it fits your needs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/

[Robin W]

The code you have under the title is

.add-new-post-header2 .container {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ecf0f1;
}

Are you using a wordpress page with [bbp-forum-index] in it?

[parmaker]

1. When visitors come to a forum and click a topic from the topic index list, bbpress elegantly shows the lead topic and replies and Reply-to form on the topic page.
2. I wanted to hide the reply form box, instead, put a link of pointing to a regualr wordpress page so that only visitor who wants might write a reply for that topic by clicking the link.
3. So I copied a page from parent theme dir into the child theme dir, and named “forum_new_reply_form.php” and changed like :
   

   /**<br>
   * Template Name: Forum New Reply Form<br>
   *<br>
   * @package WordPress<br>
   * @subpackage Twenty_Sixteen<br>
   * @since Twenty Sixteen 1.0<br>
   */<br>

   get header(); ?><br>

   < div id=”primary” class=”content-area”><br>
   < main id=”main” class=”site-main” role=”main”><br>
   < ?php <br>
   // Start the loop.<br>
   while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();<br>
   // nothing to do here <br>
   endwhile;<br>
   ?><br>
   < ?php <br>
   global $wp_query;<br>
   if (isset($wp_query->query_vars[‘reply_to_this_topic’]))<br>
   { <br>
   ?><br>
   < div class=”my-bbp-reply-form”><!– bbp-reply-form –><br>
   < ?php <br>
   $reply_shortcd = ‘[bbp-reply-form topic_id=”‘ . $wp_query->query_vars[‘reply_to_this_topic’] . ‘”]’;<br>
   echo do_shortcode($reply_shortcd);<br>
   ? ><br>
   < / div><!– bbp-reply-form –><br>
   < /main><!– .site-main –><br>

   < ?php get sidebar( ‘content-bottom’ ); ?><br>

   < / div><!– .content-area –><br>
   <br>
   get sidebar()<br>
   get footer() <br>

4. Go back to functions of childtheme, put this action
   

   add_action(‘bbp_template_after_single_topic’,’my_bbp_reply_form’);<br>
   function my_bbp_reply_form() {<br>
   if (!current_user_can(‘publish_replies’)){<br>
   return;
   }
   $t = ‘< div class=”my-bbp-new-reply-form-link”>’; <br>
   $t .= ‘< a href=”http://kabum/write_reply_page/?reply_to_this_topic=&#8217; . bbp_get_topic_id() . ‘” title=”‘ . bbp_get_topic_title() . ‘”>’;<br>
   $t .= ‘< /a>< / div>’;<br>
   echo $t;<br>
   }

5. From content-single-topic.php, commented out
   

   bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’,’topic’);<br>

   so, i can see the lead topic and a link mentioed at 4), and replies if any.

6. For debugging purpose, I copied form-reply.php into childtheme/bbpress, changed one line like this :
   

   // printf( __( ‘Reply To: %s’, ‘bbpress’ ), bbp_get_topic_title() );<br>
   echo ‘I am replying to ‘ . bbp_get_topic_title();<br>

   under < legend > of < fieldset > of that file.

7. When I clicked the link which was added at 4), a reply form pops up without any topic and replies !! hurray !!!
   

   But disaster !!, <br> the page http : / /kabum/write_reply_page/?reply_to_this_topic=1234<br>
   shows <br>
   I am replying to “forum title” (the title of the regular page housing the template “Forum New Reply Form”)<br>

   It should have shown <br>
   I am replying to “topic title” (of topic id 1234)

8. I learned that bbp_topic_id and bbp_reply_to are 0, that triggered fetching parent id of a topic.
   

   The page source of browser does even show html < input hidden name=bbp_topic_id value in the page.<br>
   The page of http://kabum/write_reply_page/?reply_to_this_topic=1234, exactly tells <br>
   reply_to_this_topic is 1234

9. I changed topic_id of shorcode bbp-reply-form atts with reply_to before retrying.<br>

   Same thing happened.

10. At the writing of this post, bbpress org documentation regarding to bbp-reply-form shortcode,<br>
    is not clearly saying about shortcode atts, but topic is [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id].
11. in case topic creation, i did the similar way as mentioned above, works fine. no need to do with jquery stuff.
12. bbpress outof box has action as h t tp://kabum/forums/topic/topic_title/#newpost, but my reply form page is
    h t tp://kabum/topic_title/?reply_to_this_topic=1234, i.e./forums/forum is sit in or not. In my reading of showrcode source, I can’t find any clue of hansdling atts reply_to hopfully i was wrong reading.

Hopfully, looking forward to anyone’s help.

I am keen to create a forum for my 2 websites that have been in existence for over a year in order to entice visitors to hang around and engage each other on key topics that are very dear to me. I originally intended to use MyBB for my 2 websites World Of Leathers and CarBuyerSg but received advice from MyBB forum members that the current different WordPress themes on my websites are not suitable for MyBB and will likely conflict with it.

I downloaded bbPress for both websites but didn’t dare to activate them after it crashed another website of mine that was a one Page website using the free So Simple Theme By Press75. The So Simple theme is one of the cleanest and most basic free WordPress theme available with really clean codes and meant for simple basic websites so I am now really afraid to activate it on my 2 websites that are using premium WordPress themes from Studio Press and Elegant Themes. Does anyone have any experience using bbPress for the Lifestyle Pro Theme by Studio Press or the Divi Theme by Elegant Themes?

[marksibly]

It’s just a simple, single forum right now:

“http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/forums/forum/monkey2-development&#8221;

(note: quoted because for some reason it doesn’t show up on this forum as plain link?!? The one below works)

Clicking on ‘forums’ takes me to:

http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/forums/

I’m completely new to wordpress/bbpress, although I have written a few simple LAMP sites in the past.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi,

I’m new to both wordpress and bbpress, and am having a few problems customzing a theme for my forums.

I am copying ‘page.php’ (or ‘index.php’ in the case of stargazer) to ‘bbpress.php’ and editing that.

Mainly, I just want to get rid of the posts/navbar stuff and have full width forums. However, I seem to need to remove get_footer() to achieve this (there doesn’t seem to be a get_nav() or get_sidebar() in either theme I’ve tried) – but doing this causes odd side effects.

In the case of the ‘stargazer’ theme, removing the footer causes extra ‘>’ chars to be inserted into the forum breadcrumb trail. Forums are still only about 60% of page width too.

In the case of the ‘twentyfifteen’ theme, it causes the theme to go into some weird mode where a bunch of HUGE links suddenly appears on the left of the page.

Can anyone suggest a good ‘starter’ theme for me to play with, along with possibly hints for how to get a ‘clean’ forum page?

Apart from this, setting up bbpress has been a breeze!

Bye!
Mark

Hi All,
I have installed latest bbPress in our website. We have few users on our site as subscribers role. What I need that if admin post any topic from backend then all the users of our site get automatically subscribed of that topic or they will get automatic email notification as new forum topic is posted.

I have tried this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/ as well as different tricks mentioned in different forums but nothing works.

So, if anyone provide any solution or suggestion, I will be thankful.

[Robin W]

no simple way to do this in your functions file, the bbpress widgets are pretty unforgiving in allowing you to tinker with them.

two immediate choices – fork the widgets code into your functions file and rename it – requires some php and WordPress knowledge or
Just amend it in the bbpress file – AND make a note to need to change it on bbpress upgrades.

The latter upsets the purists, but it’s only codes and you can’t be arrested for changing code !

[Stephen Edgar]

Strange, can you open bbpress-cs.po in a text editor and confirm that these exist in the .po file:

The original string:
• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.

The “waiting” string for the “dev” (2.6-alpha) translations
• Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.

The “waiting” string for the “stable” (2.5.x) translations
• Vaše uživatelské jméno musí být jedinečné, a nelze ho měnit.

Yes you can do this, but without checking lost of coding I’d suggest you try

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

which lets you control who can see what in the backend.

Hello, I have spent 5 years on my site and downloaded bb press today because of all the great things they said about it on this site.

Now I can no longer access my dashboard to edit anything.

I have been deleting plugins from my file manager in cpanel but it’s not helping.

I have found some things in the forums and tried to change all my wordpress user roles and capablities to the defaults but it’s not doing anything.

I noticed that registration was disabled too so i re-enabled it in the database.

Now my site and database are a complete mess and I have no idea how to fix it.

Why would you ever release this software?

No one will answer me either.

5 years of nonstop hard work and it’s not looking good.

I just saved up for 4 years and did a 20k ad campaign too.

[kamronk]

For others I was able to remove the widget by adding the following line to [wp docroot]/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php

remove_meta_box('bbp-dashboard-right-now', 'dashboard', 'core');

Specifically line 55, just above the line

I try to move a forum of users, topics, etc. Forum Invision v.2.3.6 is bbPress 2.5.8. I display the following messages:

No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
No data to clean

What I did.
1) I exported MySQL database from the old server
2) ive loaded the mysql database on the target server with the installed version of WordPress / bbPress
3) I turned on the importer

Can you advise me something?

[Robin W]

suggest you try their support forums, as they have experience of bbpress (they use it for their support forum), whereas I doubt if any of the mods on here have looked at their plugin.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/event-espresso-decaf

and

https://eventespresso.com/support/forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

I think for Czech the files should be bbpress-cs.mo and bbpress-cs.po

When you export the translations from translate.wordpress.org you should also change a couple of the defaults:

• Make sure the filter Current/waiting/fuzzy + untranslated (All) is showing the waiting translation

• Select the only matching the filter and then click export to export the .po .mo (This way you’ll get the those strings that have not yet been approved)

[Stephen Edgar]

Theres some docs here that should help you in troubleshooting these issues:

Import Troubleshooting

Can I also suggest you use the development version of bbPress, there are some pretty big improvements for the importer in this upcoming version 😉

Hi Naerean,
Are you running WordPress 4.4 ? Then wait a little bit for the 4.4.1 fix as the current version has some issues with hidden forums.
If you cannot wait, then check the following discussion: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/oops-that-page-cant-be-found-on-sub-forums/page/3
