looks like a theme issue- your theme is seeing this url as a post and showing a ‘post excerpt’

try

bbPress WP Tweaks

to see if changing the default wrapper will help

I’ve been battling this bug for months now and it’s driving me up the wall.

When a forum user has more than one page of forum topics or replies, the pagination links do not generate correctly.

Take this user, for example: …com/members/adaptprep/forums/

For forum topics, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/topics/page/2/

For forum replies, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/replies/page/2/

I have seen many users with similar issues, but so far no solutions. Can anyone help?

I should say that I simply help out here, I am not a bbpress plugin author, but have several plugins that add to bbpress capability.

Simply they both have registration functions as they are separate plugins, so if you only use one, it is useful to have a registration function, but as I say any WordPress registration function will do the job.

As for my second para, perhaps if I re-phrased it to read as I intended…

Many people do not use both bbpress and buddypress, rather some have just bbpress or just buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites but many have just bbpress.

[restorm]

Thanks, Robin. I understand that both BuddyPress and BBPress create WordPress users. But if Buddypress users and BBpress users are identical, I’m wondering why BBPress has a Forum registration function.

The second part of your response seems to be assuming that I was asking why BuddyPress and BBPress aren’t included in WordPress. I wasn’t asking that. I was asking why Buddypress and BBpress aren’t together in one plugin.

[Robin W]

Buddypress and bbpress just use wordpress registration and login, so any wordpress, buddypress and/or bbpress registration/login will register/log you into all these.

Many people do not need either bbpress or buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites.

Hi Folks, I’ve used bbPress successfully before but I think I’ve done something wrong this time around.
I’ve added a menu item (for logged in users) to the forums but neither of the new forums displays.
Previously each forum would be displayed one above the other but this time just some search text.
Forums page:https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/
Sample forum when previewed from editor:
https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/forum/general-chit-chat/
or…forum/how-do-i
I’m sure I must have missed something but can’t think what. It appeared so simple last time.
Cheers, Eugene

Hi again,

I made a change, it seems to be with permalinks. When I change to “plain” it showed up in the link of the forum but other site pages’ custumization doesn’t show up like contact with wordpress.com/contact example. Here is the forum website link: https://liberognulinux.wpcomstaging.com/forums/ and this is the link that works by changing the permalink plain https://liberognulinux.wpcomstaging.com/?page_id=50

[gnu95]

Hi,

I am having problems setting up the forum for my community.
I have used the short code [bbp-forum-index] on the “forum” page but nothing appears on the screen, it is blank.
The subscription I take for my website is on wordpress.com and I’ve seen a few tutorials on how to setup the bbPress but had no success. It seems others on the internet have more options on wordpress than my subscription on wordpress.com, hope this helps to figure out.

I hope to get this done.

Cheers and waiting for a reply,
André Machado

If I understand the question then

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6

[Robin W]

sorry, since Divi is a paid product, and bbpress is a free one, suggest you refer to Divi and how to get the two working – Divi claim they integrate viz ‘bbPress should work seamlessly with all the best WordPress themes including Divi and Extra. As there’s no need to change themes to use it, bbPress is ideal for anyone starting a new website as well as those with an existing site they’d like to enhance with a discussion area.’

How to Use bbPress to Add a Forum to Your WordPress Website

[shontelle1b]

Hello,
I am running WordPress 5.8.2 with an Eduma Child theme. I have LearnPress and bbPress (v2.6.6) installed and I have an issue with forums.
Course A is attached to Forum A and this has been working well for over a year. I recently created Course B which is a duplicate of Course A. Course B is attached to Forum A.
Users who are signed up for Course B gets the message ‘ You are not enrolled in the course’ when they try to access their forum which is Forum A.
Please can you help????
Thanks

[Robin W]

Not quite this, but close

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Unread posts

I’ve just taken a look.

bbpress uses the wordpress ‘untrash’ function to restore topics and replies.

That wordpress function includes a note saying

* By default posts that are restored will be assigned a status of 'draft'.
* Prior to WordPress 5.6.0, restored posts were always assigned their original status.

so this was a change in WordPress 5.6

However WordPress helpfully includes a hook we can link to to restore the previous status automatically

add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'wp_untrash_post_set_previous_status' , 10 , 3) ;

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Hello there,

I just discovered a bug on bbpress (v2.6.9) : when you :

1) trash a reply,
2) then restore it,
3) that reply is definitely trashed instead of being restored

I reproduced this issue with wordpress default theme with no other plugins activated.

Did you noticed that also ?

Best regards

[Chuckie]

Resolved.

See:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-text-toolbar-2/

[Robin W]

ok so something like

add_filter ('generate_get_the_title_parameters' , 'rew_community', 10 , 1) ;

function rew_community ($params) {
	if (is_page ('community')) {
		$params = array(
			'before' => sprintf(
				'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
				esc_url( get_page_by_title( 'community' ) ) ),
				'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
			),
			'after' => '</a></h2>',
		);
	
	}
return $params ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

This occurs dependant on theme and set up.

The easiest way to fix it is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

and you can set the root breadcrumb to correctly go to where you want

[Robin W]

ok this is theme/page/wordpress setup rather than bbpress – if you look at the HTML then bbpress starts below this with

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

above this – it is not bbpress doing it.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest standard fault finding viz

I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.

I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.

Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?

I am attempting to convert a PHPBB3 forum to BBPress. Obviously it is failing (thus this post). It seems to run, and did change the name of the the admin account on the PHPBB forum. However, the rest of the process is as such:

Import Finished.
17.No threaded replies to import
16.No anonymous reply authors to import
15.No replies to import
14.No favorites to import
13.No topic subscriptions to import
12.No topic tags to import
11.No closed topics to import
10.No super stickies to import
9.No stickies to import
8.No anonymous topic authors to import
7.No topics to import
6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.No forum parents to import
4.No forums to import
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up
Starting Import…
Ready to go.

What I am working with:

PHPBB3 = 3.2.11
BBPress = 2.6.9

Neither the old forum nor the new have any mods installed. BBPress is a virgin install on a virgin install of WordPress.

I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I end up with 2 similar posts, I apologize. I *think* my first post fell into the bitbucket, but if not it may appear as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!
