Hello,
I’m creating own new WordPress theme for my website.
On the forum page I can see the forum [bbp-forum-index]
But I can’t see individual topics pages.
Am I missing any template in my theme?
suggest you post on

where you should be able to find someone to help you
Hope this is the correct forum to post this request. We are considering a major platform change for our website, TheWorshipCommunity.Com (http://www.theworshipcommunity.com) – I’ll refer to it as TWC in this post.
TWC is built on two platforms:
The blog/articles are based on WordPress.
The forum is based on vBulletin, which is out of date, and needs major overhaul.
I’m strongly considering BuddyPress and bbPress. bbPress is a no-brainer because we HAVE to keep the forums. That’s where the bulk of our community exists.
So, my question is should we also use BuddyPress? I get a little confused on the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.
I know that the vBulletin importer works because we’ve already tried it. I guess my big question is when you use BuddyPress and bbPress together … are the user accounts shared? Meaning … once we import all of our thousands of users from vBulletin, is there user accounts now created for both bbPress and Buddypress .. or is it still treated like two separate accounts?
I would be beyond grateful if someone who is experienced in both could look at our site and give some honest evaluation on if this combination would be right for our community.
Thanks!
Fred
I have installed the bbPress plugin and have managed to get the Posts into the Topics of the forum (using bbPress Topics for Posts plugin). But I can’t seem to bring across the comments to be replies from the topics? It seems to just remove the comments and not show anything, and in the admin side of things, comments become -1 where there was usually 34 which is strange cause they are still there… Deactivating the Topics for posts plugin seems to bring back the comments however. Any ideas? or does anyone know what the best way would be to Bring an already made wordpress blog into a forum style (along with comments)?
Thanks.
Guys, I DID IT! After spending the better part of a day sweating over this problem, I finally fixed it. The solution is so simple, I have no idea why it took me so freaking long to think of it!
1. Download and install the “page links to” plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/
2. Go to Dashboard –> All pages –> and then click edit on your default forum page (usually http://www.yoursite.com/forums)
3. Once you’re on the editing page, scroll down to where your new plugin has two, magic little options for you. The first one, “this is a normal wordpress page,” is probably checked. Instead, check the one right below it, the one that says “custom url” or something like that. Enter the url for the page that you WANT your default forums page to be. Click publish.
TA-DA! Now, when you click on “forums” in your breadcrumbs trail, instead of taking you to that default index page, it’ll take you to the special one that you made using the index shortcode.
You’re welcome!!

its not just for Admins , it could be useful to moderators in bbPress’s case , and also be handy for participant users if you have BuddyPress installed.
you can install this plugin to remove access for certain user roles.

Hi there,
I’m trying to find out a way that gives me a quick topic posting widget in the dashboard as the one for posts present by default in wordpress dashboard. Please, I would appreciate a help. Thank you for your time.

what the heck it should do the opposite.
create me an admin account so i can try to find what could be causing the issue with your site.
send the login details to my email.
i will email you when i start checking everything out , and i will not touch anything. just look over and see if there might be an issue.

Hi
We are converting mingle forum into bbpress
In the existing mingle forum we have only 5 forum and not more than 5 topics in each forum. When we tried Tools -> Forum -> import we could able to convert only forum. We could not able to import any of the topics. I checked with 2013 theme also. Same issue occurs. Please suggest.
Wordpress version: 4.2.1
Theme: Thesis 2.1
bbpress version: 2.5.7
Mingle forum version: 1.0.33
Thanks
Maybe a silly one…
I want a forum on my wp site. But the forum has to be just for members.
On my site i have Menu Items Visibility Control and WordPress Access Control. If i set the forum in the menu just for members using first the visibility control, and then set the forums on hidden. Is that enough? Is that also preventing bots to crawl the forum?
I’m a noob with WP and bbpress, so if this is a really silly question, i am sorry 🙂
1. it tells you right on the topic you linked to.
2. this PHP code will help with styling a users reply by role.
function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
$replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
$bbp_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
$classes[] = $bbp_role;
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
3 this plugin will help

pagination breaks right now with threaded replies.
the patch here fixes it though , will need some more tests before it goes to core
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
anonymous posts should work with the voice count.
i just tested it on my test site and it seems to work.
you can try recalculating the voices in each topic by going to tools > forums > repair forums in the WordPress back-end.
i dont think so
if you want this functionality consider posting a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
there is a couple of patches here , you can see if the latest patch fixes your issue.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782
make sure to take a site backup before applying a patch.
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
if it still doesnt fix your issue , then you might as well restore your site from the backup then wait for a newer patch.
if you really need this fixed soon , i suggest you post a job and hire a developer jobs.wordpress.net/
it worked for me, and just so you know bbPress uses some of the WordPress comments code for anonymous posting.
link to a topic i can test on and make sure you have the code placed.
the way i tested it is i tried normal anonymous posting when logged out of my test site inputted my email and name then posted a reply and topic. by default the name and email should populate automatically for my next reply and topic.
with my code it should display empty text inputs even when you already made a reply or topic.
im going to guess everything was fine in 2.5.4??
those plugins you listed, i dont think they would mess with the author link.
but if you didn’t already deactivate everything except bbPress and see if the issue persists.
if the issue is still there , we would have to go through more troubleshooting to help fix this issue for you.
and just know as a last resort you might have to hire a developer to fix this issue
post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
The ticket is https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989, there are some specific things we want to do with revisions, we want to actually keep all revisions but only display one revision, we want to be able to “scroll through” the list of revisions, you can see an example of this in the following comment https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989#comment:19, in that comment you’ll see previous and diff, once you click previous you’ll then see next.
If you want to join our development chat we can chat about what and where further.
To join follow the instructions here and join the #bbpress channel 🙂

I have a SMF 2.0.9 forum that I am trying to import into bbPress. When I run the built in converter it says no forums, no topics, no users and I know they are there because I have looked in the DB’s with phpMyAdmin.
It’s as though it isn’t finding the db that I am telling it to go to. I have looked in the error logs and can’t find any direction.
I want to switch this to bbPress so please advise what i should do next. I even imported it into phpBB 3.x and tried that converter but it does the same thing. When I try to count the topics or do any thing in the list it says failed.
This is what I have WordPress 4.2.1 running eleven40 Pro Theme this is a studio press theme.
Thanks,
Randal
Already publish the plugin on wordpress org. Right now without automatically flushing rewrite rules https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/
you can hire a developer to fix this for you.
post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
as for a bbPress plugin dev.
You can post anything you can find on the issue here or any type of information of your current setup and maybe they will pick this up.
@palmdoc
in that specific plugin it imports forums one at a time.
the settings are in whatever forum you are trying to export/import
i think how you would do it is setup your forums again on your new site
then export each forum one at a time from your old site
then import your old forum data to the new forums , one at a time.
i tried the plugin and it seems to not work 100% as i was missing some topics during the import.
im not 100% sure though , but i think you could just export/import your bbPress installation using
the default WordPress export tool , and the WordPress importer plugin.
