Thanks, can you create a ticket on Trac for us and we can take a closer look at the issue and your fix.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
I am using WordPress-bbpress at the my site.
When many messages were contributed to a topic and it became 10 pages or more, the link to 10th page had broken.
The following code is the cause.
It will replace from “&paged=10” to “0”.
bbpress.2.5.3
C:\xampp\htdocs\bb\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php
895 line
// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else {
$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}
One solution for correcting this is the following. (Insert “if($pagination[‘total’] == 1)”)
// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else if($pagination['total'] == 1) {
$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}
The documentation was wrong. Moderators cannot create/modify forums.
I’ve updated the documentation to match what each role can do.
Actually they can, the documentation was correct 😉
// Forum caps
'publish_forums' => true,
'edit_forums' => true,
'read_private_forums' => true,
'read_hidden_forums' => true,
I have added those changes back to the codex.
The caveat to this is that they can only create and edit forums in the ‘front end’ and not via the admin dashboard. (Details of this are noted in Trac as part of the wider scope Moderator control panels)
To allow moderators to create forums you need to use the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode on a page.
Hi
i have WP 3.8.1 and bbpres 2.5.3 , i’m using phpBB3 but now i will work with wordpress an there own forum (bbpress)
i used in tools -> forums -> import forums
typed the database datas in and klick START
after that the import start but it import ONLY the user nothing else.
i have tryed this 3 times and it runs alway over one hour and only user are imported
no forums no topics no cats ……
NEED HELP PLEASE
I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site. This question also relates to the WordPress dashboard rather than the site itself. I’ve given a user on the site the bbPress role of Moderator with the expectation that he should be able to set up new forums, however, when he logs in, he can only see/access topics, replies and profile in the WordPress dashboard. There is no link to “Forums” where he can add new ones. Why is this the case when according to the roles information on this page: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ a Moderator “can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools”?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “No Results Found” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site.
This is another usability issue I’d love to solve if anyone has a solution. If you are a member of the site but not logged in, you should see a prompt to login rather than “No Results Found”
The easiest way to do this is to make a WordPress page with the same slug as your forum root. bbPress will see that page and yield to it, letting it render instead of your forums.
In that page’s content, use the bbp-forum-index shortcode, along with any other HTML, shortcodes, or whatever else you want there. You can get really fancy with your forum index using modifications in a child theme, custom template parts, page templates, forum archives, etc…
This could also possibly be related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512
Can you try the workaround listed in that ticket:
Don’t run the bbp_admin_repair_forum_visibility repair tool
In the backend though edit the forum and updates it’s ‘visibility’ by:
Change the forum visibility from private to public and save
Change the forum visibility back to the original private status and save
At a quick glance I’m quite sure bbPress could do everything that you mention above, just not out of the box will it do those things.
You would need to make these customizations yourself or hire a programmer to do them for you.
The ‘threaded “hierarchal tree-style” would just be a matter of making some custom templates and would be quite quick. To setup the different theme for different users I think there are a few WordPress plugins that let your users choose what theme they want to use, so have two themes, one with the default bbPress theme (with or without customizations, and the other theme with your customized “hierarchal tree-style” templates.
There are some docs on getting started with custom templates https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Glad you found the issue.
AWPCP state this is now fixed, contact them for an updated version.

Too add a menu link just go to ‘Admin -> Appearance -> Menus’ and add a new menu item eg. ‘Forums’ with a link to http://example.com/forums
Im using the latest versions of WP and BBpress,
All i have learnt using WP and BBpress is from trial and error and use of support forums and information from other websites.
I gamer at heart and play many mmo’s, i use wordpress for our main site and wanted to include a forum for our members(BBpress). http://enigmas.eu
I have been able to change lay out and look, so it look like main site and i have install an Plugin (bbPress String Swap) to rename roles, but it only change them on the forum and not in the admin selection area and the same goes with Public-Privet-hidden forum.
I would like to be able to change the names with in the admin side, so that my Moderator’s know which role to select when a new member joins
Key master – Guild leaders
Moderator – Officer
Participant – Member
Also when creating a forum know which one to select
Public – (can stay the same)
Private – Members Zone
Hidden – Officers Zone
As im talking about the forum titles i would like to remove (private) from the forum breadcrumb i have seen many examples of how to do it and have tried them out, but they don’t seem to work. i don’t know if im doing some thing wrong. so look for a fresh input.
i know that my Moderator(Officers) could get used to knowing which role and forum section to choose from with out changing them. but the Private before the forum tile is a real pain.
any ideas would be great thank you

I tried to deactivate and activate again, and unistall and install but nothing…
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance
Hey there!
We have been doing good amount of work with bbPress lately and have implemented a variety of solutions including setting up paid forums via integration of bbPress with WooCommerce. While doing so, we realized that this set up in particular, needs deep understanding of the plugins so we thought of compiling a detailed tutorial and sharing it with the world.
I am glad to tell you that the tutorial is now out and you can check it out on our website HERE.
Also feel free to comment on this guide and ask us any questions for which we would get back to you soon.
I see replies listed in the administrative dashboard, but if I click to view them, they are not there.
I believe I updated bbPress 2.5.3, bbPress threaded replies 0.4.3, bbPress Posts Toolbar 0.7.5 and Jetpack by WordPress.com 2.7
I also updated to the latest version of WordPress.
Here is the front of the forum

Guys thanks for the help. Also I had not updated from a previous 2.5.2 version, 2.5.3 was first installment.
I now think the problem stems from a plugin added a few days ago – This one: Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)
I had a little play around and not sure why, but even when I re-installed bbpress none of the icons for forum would show on left, when classifieds was deactivated it sprang to life.
Very odd, but I had to look at what changed have been made recently as I am the only person who works on my site, and other than installing this other plugin last few days, my work has primarily been on content.
I will report back with any update, but thanks for both your help.

Is your SMF database on the same database server that your WordPress instalation is setup with?
If not your webhost should have some docs on how to export/backup your database.
Then follow the similar docs on your new webhost to import the database if needed.
Then follow the basic steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
There are also a couple of topics here on bbPress.org relating to SMF that you should be able to find pretty quickly.
It should be in your theme folder, though maybe this is what you need and/or are you using it?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
It might also be worth posting on that plugins support forum if you are.
Hi,
I am quite new to WordPress and definitely new to forums. I am trying to export a forum using SMF on one site and importing into bbPress on another site within WordPress. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
Try using

I haven’t used it myself, but others have with success
@netweb Thank you!
In a bbPress context is an ‘Anonymous User’, check that you don’t have this enabled.
OK, not enabled. Anonymous posting is NOT checked (Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies = NO). Still seeing the dummy revisions.
Also check what WordPress settings are in /wp-admin/options-discussion.php
I checked the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment,” but that didn’t change anything.
Is this with bbPress disabled?
NO, bbpress was enabled. I disabled bbpress for a few minutes and did not see any post revisions generated during that time period.
Hi.
I recently updated to version 2.5.3 in my online classroom. I’m using WordPress 3.8.
After my update all content within my forum topics disappeared.
The forums remain. All topics remain. All replies within the topic are gone.
Any help would be appreciated.
No, I do not have a backup. I’m new to maintaining a website.

On this topic page, when the window is resized to about 464px wide or less, the avatar images (the actual image element, not its div as far as I can tell) are removed and positioned absolutely at the top left part of the page, all in one stack.
What causes this, what is the fix, and do I really need to worry about it since I can’t think of a environment that is 464px wide?
Thanks!

Ack! Disabled all plugins and still getting lots of dummy revisions.
Is this with bbPress disabled?
When I’m logged in as admin and trying to make a sticky, it sends me to the login page. Once I log in again and try once more, it does the same thing. I’m using the latest version of both bbpress and wordpress. Any ideas?
