Hi Guys
The link to create a new forum is missing in he WordPress backend.
I have the ‘Forum’ link in the menu on the left, but there is no ‘Add New’ or ‘New Forum’ option.

Can anyone help? I just need to create one more forum!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice guys

I have
ok, I am trying to help you, but there are thousands of wordpress themes, and I have no idea what sidebar 2 and 3 are supposed to do.
which would you like to achieve
a full width forum or show both sidebar 2 and sidebar 3, and if the latter can you create a testpage with just some text on and post the url, sop that I can see what it should look like.
only thing i could think of is changing your quote method to bbcode.
or deactivate your plugins, and activate them one at a time to find if there is a plugin issue.
but yeah not sure at all, you could also contact wp-monalisa support too
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-monalisa
but yeah its more of getting support from gd bbpress tools.
Hi all,
I have already installed bbPress successfully and some users post new topic/replies normally. However, one user’s new topic/replies are automatically marked as spams after he submits his posts. Is there any way to stop this? And does this relate to IP Address Blocker or anti-spam plugin?
WordPress version: 3.9.2
bbPress version: 2.5.4
Any help is truly appreciated. Hope to get response soon.
Regards,

you should be remove *template Name : ….*
its not a page template, should be have some code like this in start file :
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying bbPress content.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage BuddyBoss
* @since BuddyBoss 3.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<!-- if widgets are loaded in the Forums sidebar, display it -->
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar('forums') ) : ?>
<div class="page-right-sidebar">
<!-- if not, hide the sidebar -->
<?php else: ?>
<div class="page-full-width">
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- bbPress template content -->
<div id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar('bbpress'); ?>
</div><!-- closing div -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I thought you would like to know my hosting provider persevered and created a procedure to resolve this issue. It was….
=== From the support engineer ===
1. Deactivate the bbPress plugin.
2. Find the database version in the wp_options table and reset that back to “1”. I could have picked an actual WordPress database version (and probably something as simple as the most recent), but I knew this worked from the testing on the development site.
3. Once the database version was manually set back to 1, I had to navigate to: https://zippe.biz/wp-admin/upgrade.php. This forced WordPress to run all of the database upgrades required to get from version 1 to the latest version of the database (27916).
4. Once the upgrades had completed I needed to reset the account password for our account. I noticed this was required on both the staging site and the live site, so my hunch is it may have reset some keys. You’ll likely need to do this for all of your accounts as well.
5. After the password had been reset I was able to login and the dashboard loaded normally.
I’ve recently installed a bbPress forum within my wordpress blog. See link here. But for some reason my bbpress forum does not extend out to the full width of the page. Its very narrow looking.
When I first uploaded bbpress I created a ‘Page’ and called it ‘forum’. Within that page I can add sidebars and widgets to those sidebars but none of that works for me and I would like to find out why and how I can fix it?
I’m using wordpress version 3.9.1. And bbpress version 2.5.4.
Wordpress version : 3.9.1
Bbpress version : 2.5.4
My site : gamemute.com
I’m just wondering if i can change the edit profile link from wp-admin/ to http://www.gamemute.com/?bbp_user=1
I’m using the game addict theme, a bbpress compatible theme !
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
First one :
add this code to your functions file
//disable toolbar for non-admins
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}
see
Functions files and child themes – explained !
Second one
use my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
This will let you set exactly who can see forums
Hi everyone 🙂
I have a question about the registration to my website’s forum : i’m currently setting the forum and the registration form. I asked a friend of mine to register to see if it works but it didn’t go as intended and i have two (little) problems :
The first one is that when they register they register to the wordpress website and can access to the toolbar on the top of the screen (as seen on this screenshot http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/32/1407314693-capture-d-ecran-2014-08-06-a-10-42-52.png). The problem is that i just want them to be able to post on the forum : even if there is not much informations in the toolbar since they are not admin, i’d just like them to just be able to post on the forum (and not have access to the dashboard of wordpress or anything else). I don’t know if what i’m asking is very clear ?
The second thing is that i’d like to set up a forum for the beta of my game : i understood that the “hidden” attribute on a forum hide it from the “participant” level user. The problem is that when i set a user to “keymaster” in order to make him able to see the hidden forum, he has also access to some new features like “create a new forum” (via the toolbar on the top of the screen) and i don’t want them to be able to do that. Is it possible to set a custom user’s “category” (like “beta user”) so they’ll only be able to access to the “hidden” forum, create topic, and post ?
I may not be very clear here so i hope you’ll be able to help me 🙂
Thank you
I have installed bbpress on multiple wordpress sites and seem to always have the same issue. On the main forum index page it says 0 voices and 1 posts no matter how many posts you create this never changes. Being that this has occurred on every site that I have included bbpress and being different themes and installs I can only conclude that I must be missing something when I set it up.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it….because you cannot run a forum that says there is only 1 post in it 🙁
Also I use no shortcodes, I just install bbpress then go to http://www.example.com/forums and start posting.
Sorry I don’t understand.
Is this functionality already built in?
no its really a question
is all of this that you are working on suppose to modify the backend profile in wordpress??
@desiamerican26 ok enable the visual editor
install this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
to add font-size and font-color install tinymce advanced also
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/
heres some screenshots of tinymce advanced
TinyMCE Advanced
this is all backend in wordpress??
i have bbpress and i dont have a forum specific sidebar
so it must be something else. Do you have this plugin??
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/
if your just using it for a forum specific sidebar, custom sidebars plugin can do that??
you just create a sidebar and only place it on forums, replies, topics then just throw those widgets in there.
the plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
should do that, just set private forum visibility to on, and non registered users will see the forums, but only registered users with that group set will see the topics
1. Yes, the vast majority of the time you will want to import your users, the exceptions to this are typically other forum plugins for WordPress where the users already exist as WordPress users.
2. No. At this stage there is no way to only import changes since your last import, I’d love to add support for this in the future though.
3. Leave this unchecked, it’s designed to allow you to restart the import from ‘scratch’ by first deleting any previously imported content. The thing is this only partially works and I am actually fixing this as we speak. If you need to delete any imported content to start again use the “Reset Forums” tab and be sure to also delete the imported users.
You can also click the ‘Help’ link in the top right if the screen that will explain more of these options for additional info.
Thanks guys!
Robkk –
My wordpress setup is special situation. The Leaning Management System for the school I work for has it’s own version that it maintains with about 50 approved plugins (including bbpress)…I don’t have access to the FTP files unfortunately.
I was able to get most of the CSS working by copying and pasting the bbpress CSS into the custom CSS area in the WP dashboard. I shouldn’t have to do this, so I’m contacting the Learning Management System to report this possible bug.
Stephen –
You checked out the site after I had most of the CSS working. What Robkk saw was no styling at all…everything was listed with bullets like a regular < li > would be styled.
That said, your idea to create a child forum worked!
Thank you both for your help!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project over the last month that was working perfectly on my local Mamp server. When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.
I’ve disabled all plugins except bbPress (even though they all worked on my server), reset permalinks and I know the theme I created wasn’t a problem because it worked perfectly in dev.
I’m a little stressed at this point as this week was supposed to be for testing and final rollout and that’s all come to a screeching halt without this basic functionality.
Would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks a lot!
My suggestion here would be to activate bbPress and try to “edit post” whatever the case may be per my previous post above (WordPress posts or bbPress topic/reply) and if you still cannot “edit” whatever it is you are trying to edit start disabling all your active plugins one by one, once you deactivate one try your ‘edit’ thing again, if it now works you know the conflicting plugin, if not disable another plugin and try again.
Also as per another previous post of mine above:
“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”
Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?
