bbPress requires at least WordPress 3.6. I would ask the authors of that theme if they can update it for WordPress 3.8, at a bare minimum besides the improvements in the latest WordPress there are bound to be some security issues in running such an old version of WordPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, this is a known issue and hopefully a fix isn’t far off.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have not seen anyone else report anything like what you mention.

Have you updated top WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2 and tested with the Twenty Thirteen theme?

Also some screenshots would be beneficial

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly you need to update to WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2, most likely the issue you have has already been fixed 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I answered your question here http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/127625/how-do-i-remove-certain-fields-from-the-forum-edit-my-profile-page

[Stephen Edgar]

I am running on a clean install of WordPress 3.4.2

Is that a typo? You should be using WordPress 3.8

Also what theme are you using? Try the Twenty Thirteen theme.

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time but I’m new to bbpress. I’m trying to figure how to add sidebar to my forum so that users can login or check out the latest posts from the forum. Hence I’ve decided to create a page with -forum slug so It won’t overlap default -forums slug of bbpress. I added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to that page and edited. Everything was working fine until I clicked on any of the forums I created. It redirected me to a page with -forums slug and breadcrumbs was on the same direction, as if shortcode was just a decoy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very successful at altering bbpress files as I wanted. My question is about those slugs. Is there any way to override bbpress’ own page system and force it to use the page I inserted the forum code.

Thank you

Nice, and this bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2468 is also very annoying for working forums, the ux is terrible.

Hi Guys,

I am running on a clean install of WordPress 3.4.2, and am trying to use the BBPress forum plugin (version 2.5.2). However when trying to load the forum page from my site I get the following error.

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in /home/content/44/10795544/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

I have spent ages googling, searching this forum, but I cant find any answer that help me.

Please can someone tell me how I can fix this error? It is preventing me from using BBpress.

Thanks
Panda

The only fix in bbPress 2.5.2 is for BuddyPress notifications issues see #2495 for more details.

[John James Jacoby]

Use WordPress’s Importer. bbPress works just fine with it.

Hi,
I currently have a WordPress installation at website.com/blog/, and a bbPress forum at website.com/blog/forum. Ideally I’d like to have the forum at website.com/forum. Is this possible? I’ve tried a few different rewrites in my Apache site configuration but haven’t managed to get it working.

Best regards,
Sam

I am also having this issue. It just started and all of my admin profiles have the highest level of permission. I’m also running Buddy Press and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP).If i can not resolve soon I will need to stop using BBPress. We have to launch soon.

[Peter Kegels]

Ater installation yesterday no problem. I could see ‘forums’ in the left balk of WP (dashboardbalk). Today no longer.
I removed BBPres and installed again. Without any luck. It is stil not visible on the left site of WordPress.
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Peter

Dear April,

I am having the same issue. I also am deploying and testing in Instant WordPress. Have the same problem. Pity no one has come to rescue till now.

[Pippin Williamson]

No, bbPress only functions as a WordPress plugin.

[Will Brownsberger]

Stumbled into a solution for this.

In this file:
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

Comment out lines 34 and 35. Lines 33 through 35 as appearing in the original are shown below. Line 33 contains the comment from the original.

33	// $url was manually set in wp-login.php to redirect to admin
 34	elseif ( admin_url() === $url )
 35		$url = home_url();

Hate to edit the core functions, but it works.

Please note: Running Theme-my-login Version 6.3.8, bbPress Version 2.5.1, WordPress 3.8.

[Will Brownsberger]

The redirection settings don’t help.

Having the same problems.

Problem also appears here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-theme-my-login-login-redirect-issue-with-bbpress

For me, these coding solutions don’t seem to work either:

[anujagarwal108]

I have a PHP site http://www.stemcellcure.in and http://www.cellmedicaltourism.com . I want to add forums and comment functionality to my websites. Can bbPress be used for these sites?

[AlanSilverman]

thanks so much.

If I do decide to keep a login for posting to the bb, how exactly does that work? Can each individual create their own username/pw? Is that something I need to manage on the WordPress/Users panel? I could have hundreds of people posting to the forum.

[conradcathalmurray]

Installed bbPress on a Gabfire premium theme but while the text area is there it is not defined by a keyline and hence is not obvious.

The problem repeats with Twenty Fourteen albeit not so badly as the keyline for the text area appears in Twenty Fourteen when I hover. I’m sure this is a stylesheet issue but I cannot work out what I need to do to correct it.

As an example see:

Using WordPress 3.8
bbPress 2.5.1

[Stephen Edgar]

I think this is due to the following WordPress issue with custom post types:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12706

That said I haven’t looked at this closely in bbPress as it ‘should’ be ‘Update’ and not change the status to ‘Open’ as you point out.

Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this and we can either fix it or wait for the upstream fix via WordPress https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
