I just had a search through the forum here for permalink issues. It appears the newest release of wordpress broke permalinks and there’s a ticket out to request a fix.
In the meantime, can anyone provide a workable solution? Changing my permalinks appears to either break my existing links across my website, or break my forum reply pages.
Hey guys,
As a theme developper I wanted to bring bbPress support and I was facing the same issue.
The plugin that @robin-w brought was working but I know something was wrong with my theme.
I managed to make it work without the plugin by deleting this snippet from functions.php :
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts#Exclude_Pages_from_Search_Results
The intent of this snippet is to exclude pages from search results and I guess this was conflicting with WP4.
If you have this problem with your theme, look for “pre_get_posts” actions and if the search query is updated.
Hope that can helps 🙂

Hi,
My site mainly runs hidden groups for various discussions in group forums. Membership rotates roughly once a year. At the moment, if a member of my site has subscribed to a hidden group forum and then is removed from that group, their subscription isn’t turned off – they still get emails and can see the forum listed in their “My Subscriptions” in their account. This is not OK as the discussions undertaken are confidential and so the subscriptions need to be terminated.
Is there a way to unsubscribe users from forums and topics for a group forum when they are removed from that group? I’m sure there must be an easy way to do this with template tags, but I can’t seem to find the answer. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen as standard to be honest.
Thank you for your help!
I deactivated these plugins that added bbcode. They worked at first. I did this on a fresh install of wordpress for a new site. It works for ie, chrome etc I have debugging on. What would be the cause? The plugin author says its plugin i dont know… So I thought I would use the bbpress defaults and those dont work.
At https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x I see 99% translated 🙂 You can translate some missing phrases. After that at the bottom of the page choose all current and Machine Object Message Catalog (.mo). Click the Export link. You download the file with translations.
After that rename downloaded file to bbpress-pt_BR.mo and put it in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/ and you done.
i am using wordpress 3.9.2 and bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
i want all my user (participant or moderators) can create new forum in front-end, so they not enter the wordpress admin, is it possible? if yes can anyone tell me how to do that.
thanks
Hello, @Robin-W
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried to deactivate all plugins i have except for bbpress(actually i also tried to reinstall all of them that can be connected to bbpress) and it gave no result.
I am in fear of changing my theme as it can just break all the site, so i can’t do it now(but my theme author actually was the on who suggested to use your plugin, so i believe it shouldn’t be the case)

What i have now:
5 groups in plugin, member testuserrq is subscriper to a site and a participant to a forum. He is inside group1 in plugin. I have some forums private and they are marked only for groups2-4. This user can’t see this forums when he is browsing forum, but if he will try direct-link he can see it and he can browse it further(for example by direct link to a forum and then to threads in this forum)
I tried different options in plugin, created new forums and changed groups, but still problem with direct link persists. If i will give user reader right in forum he cant see this themes anymore, only as participant. Changing his role to site does nothing(i can even turn it off).
I tried installing capability manager enhanced to look what capabilities this role have and i see it has read private forums – should it be this way? I guess it is how it goes by default.
Please, try to give me any direction where i can look at, because its crucial for my site(as i rely on forum much and forum access security is a subject of a main concern)
Sorry for so many text and this mess 🙁
WordPress Version: 4.0
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
I have a forum where anyone (ideally, even users without an account) will be able to post a topic, but only users in certain groups will be allowed to view and post replies to the topics.
I’ve been working with these two plugins:
Members: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
bbPress Permissions: https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions
They’ve allowed me to setup everything except the feature I described above. Google searches haven’t yielded anything either, just how to setup general user roles.
Is it possible to do what I need to?
I appreciate any help!
easy way i think would be to just install this and choose the dark color.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/
you can also use this below css and copy it where ever you can put custom css
jetpack css module
custom css plugin
you can find the exact css in bbpress.css and just replace it with the one im posting.
you can of course change inherit to and other color like black or its hex #000 for example.
if im missing something please reply back

I’m using Eclipse as my theme on wordpress.
http://generalstcg.byethost15.com/?forum=general-discussion
This is my website.
I want to be able to change the color of the text because if you go on my website, it’ll be white on white.
Is there a way to make the background a darker/blacker color and keep the white letters?
I read about bbpress.css but I have no idea where to find it or to look for it.
Can someone please help?
Thank you!
Hi,
I am having problem on my site where I have a bbpress login/logout widget and without typing any user/password in field of widget if I press the Login Button then it redirect me to wp-login.php login page. I need a solution on how do I redirect them to home page or to the page I want?.
WordPress: 4.0

Thanks.
Why would some one pay for support on a non working plugin lol
its works for other users
I dont have caching but with all plugins deactivated other then the ones needed for forums its not working
again im just trying to bring up possible conflicts that might be causing the issue.
or just give up on having bbCode.
well i guess you just tell your users that your site has oembed and it can be used in the forums as long as you have Auto-embed Links checked in the forum settings.
and that any youtube/vimeo video link will automatically embed
imgur/flickr will automatically embed and so on.
images from other sources can use the img button in the quicktags toolbar
and options like bold/italicize/link/block-quote can be used from the quicktags toolbar.
we have been using block-quote button back and forth so to replace quotes you can do that too.
list of available oembed providers
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
more on forum settings
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/
1) just use the
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
shortcode on the page to do that
2) That can all be done using coding, but would require a lot of code and expertise both within bbpress/wordpress and to link it to a payment product to take the money, and you’ll lose a lot of revenue in commission on 75p payments on say payal, who take a 20p a transaction charge as well as 3.4% commission.
Ballpark say £100-£200 for a coder to write that all for you (without looking that’s the sort of figure I’d expect to charge to write that, but it could be a lot more)
You would do better to look at a ‘membership’ site plugin, and take a payment per say ten ‘ads’, and use something like ‘bbp notify’ to know when they’ve posted, and a simple excel spreadsheet which you manually update. Then suspend membership or block posting when they have used up their limit.
Hello, I am fairly new to WordPress.
I recently added bbPress to my site and tested out the forums.
I created a “testuser” so that I could post on the forums; however, after signing into “testuser”, I found out that the role “participant” can access the Dashboard of WordPress and through the Dashboard, the Theme Options and change it.
Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but I would like to know if there is a way to restrict the “participant” from accessing Dashboard and other WordPress options.
Thanks

Theme: Lightly modified Skeleton (http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/)
I’m using this code: http://pastebin.com/7NQnubJP to add custom fields in a specific forum. Everything is working great except for when I try to edit an existing topic. When I try to edit an existing topic, the custom fields aren’t displayed on the page, and therefor aren’t editable. Only the normal Title and Content fields are displayed.
The issue still happens while using an unmodified Twenty Fourteen theme (besides adding the relevant code to the functions.php file, of course).
I haven’t had any luck finding out what the problem is, but I’m hoping it’s something simple.
I appreciate any help!
thanks bud
I had @import in my child theme
did as mentioned in
put below code in style.css in child theme
———————————————–
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
———————————–
also copied page.php (from twentyfourteen folder) and renamed to bbpress.php put in root of child theme
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to style a single forum page differently to the main forum pages. I know I can do a conditional statement so say when on this page, do this, however I think there might be an easier way.
Can I use the usual naming & hierarchy structure used by WordPress? ie; when I have a custom post type named ‘movies’ I can use a template for this page called ‘single-movies.php’.
Can I do something like this perhaps?
forum-my-forum-name.php
or bbpress-my-forum-name.php
I’ve tried but didn’t seem to work for me so maybe I’m missing something fundamental.
Thanks in advance.
I just finished setting up a new site and went live this week. I’m now getting an error within my bbPress forum that reads, “Error: Taxonomy isn’t defined”. What do I need to do in order to fix/make this message go away? It is only shown once you select a topic to view, at the top of the page, following the title of the topic.

Hi, before i go ahead and start trying to make a car enthusiast site built on my current ideas, i wanted to know if this is possible, and if so, how..?
1) – Multiple Forums
I would like to have multiple bbPress forums over multiple WordPress pages, e.g. “general forums” on one WP page, a “buy/sell” forum on the second WP page, a “Services” forum on another WP page etc. and all while having the same login/passwords etc.
2) – Pay Per Thread
I would like to charge users a set amount, say maybe 75p to post a thread (not a reply etc.) in the “buy/sell” forums and say maybe 50p to post a thread (again, not a reply etc.) in the “Services” forum so that I make the money to sustain my site from people posting items for sale or offering a helping hand (a “service”) for a smaller fee than a garage etc.
not easily from within wordpress.
How many users do you have?
Do you have phpmyadmin access? If you do then have a look at the wp_users table – don’t worry accessing the database isn’t really that scary as long as you go slowly and make sure you don’t update !
Same issue as described above for a client’s forum I am working on.
New topics and replies not showing, freshness incorrect
Now I do have one question as no one has really mentioned this yet.
What server is everyone running wordpress/bbpress on?
Aside from this issue I do have smaller issues that I had to handle simply because my client’s server configuration and it being on IIS/Windows server as opposed to Linux (I normally don’t have issues such as this on Linux)
Hi,
I’m using the plugin WP Business Intelligence for show custom report about my blog.
I would show the topic/thread that not have new answers from 1 month.
For this plugin, I must write custom SQL Query.
I studied bbPress database schema, but I can not find where the answers are saved for each thread.
Who can help me to write my query?
Thanks.
