bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

ok,

In your theme create a bbpress directory

wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress

where %yourtheme% is your theme name

Then copy the following file to that folder

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/template/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

So you end up with

wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress/form-topic.php

You can then edit this file, and bbpress will use this version.

[Robin W]

I think this should do it. It’s from my library of code and haven’t used it in a while, so come back if it’s not what you want

You’ll need to add it to your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => ' (',
		'count_after'       => ')',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
			$content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Counts to show
			if ( !empty( $count ) ) {
				$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after'];
		}

		// Output the list
		return $output ;
	}
}

add_filter('bbp_list_forums', 'custom_list_forums' );

ok, there are two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in either of these plugins may help.

I am trying to help users and want to use the code backticks to display the BBCodes they need to use.

It won’t display the actual code, it renders the code out instead when placed in backticks using the code/code buttons.

Using a default theme, WP 4.0 and 2.5.4 bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

I just moved your topic as it really has nothing to do with the other topic.

You shouldn’t need a plugin to do that, simply browse to http://example.com/topics and you’ll have a list of the most recent topics or topics with replies sorted by freshness.

As for colours, that will depend upon the theme, if the theme includes customised templates for bbPress then typically yes, if it does not you’ll end up with the some default colors bbPress sets for you in this case.

There are lots of docs here to browse also https://codex.bbpress.org/

I personally have no experience of multisite, but most times when this doesn’t work on single site, it is a plugin conflict.

Suspect that won’t help, but in case, and since no-one else has responded 🙂

Hi,

I’m new to BBPress and have installed it on various themes across the board. The platform is simple enough for me to grasp after playing around with some settings. However, I dislike the URL arrangement that comes when it’s installed.

Right now it’s: http://www.letsvapesafe.com/forums/forum/lvs-forum-2/

I want it http://www.letsvapesafe.com/forums//lvs-forum-2/

Is there anyway I can change it to my liking?

Thanks guys

[Andi North]

When I upgraded a WordPress installation to use 4.0 from 3.9 the topics would not show on the loop-topic template neither would the topic content show when on single-topic.

I deactivated all plugins (bar ACF and bbPress) and used the default WP theme but the issue still prevailed.

I then reactivated all themes and plugins, bbPress was still broken.

I then overwrote the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ folders of the installation with the WordPress 3.9 version(s) of the files and bam! bbPress was back to life.

There were no error logs on the website either.

Any ideas?

WordPress 4.0 isn’t critical to the site but it’s always important to keep on top of updates.

I have done some more debugging and found the issue to be with the default method 1 page Forums. This error is only shown on the forums page. If I go to my own page with the short-code on it the error is not shown.

If I change the slug to that of my own forum page then the error is shown so it is tied to what is stored in the default forum page slug.

I could live with this except that if you click the breadcrumb word Forums then of course you are taken to the default page with the error rather than my page. Is there any way to change the slug other than through the options page? If there is I could live with this workaround.

Running bbpress 2.5.4 on WP 4.0using Twenty Twelve default theme.

When users logout they get this message:
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

Also, when logging in, ALL users get
You are already logged in.

after pressing submit.

Both seem to be odd responses to the task that was just completed. Is this a bug?

[coskel22]

I’m using Twenty Twelve, which is a default theme.
Thanks for checking this for me.

I’m sitting here on a beautiful sunny afternoon in Melbourne typing this on my iPad…

The above was line # 1, this would be line #3,
line #4,
line #5

line #7

line #9

line #10,
line #11,
line #12,
line #13,
line #14,

This “should” work fine and I’ve not heard of this before, can you test this with a WordPress default theme or two, Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Thirteen, I expect this to be a theme issue with whatever theme your using rather than a bbPress issue.

[Robkk]

what I’d like to do is by default show all existing (not just most used) topic tags when someone is creating a topic from within WP

so your saying the way how categories are displayed in backend you want for topic-tags in the frontend.

ive seen a support forum for one my themes authors site i was on have that kind of functionality (but they dont use bbpress), they use something custom.

i think how its done on their site is just some jquery , and kind of does the same functionality that the bbpress quicktag toolbar does.

like set up some a set of words then you click the button and it automatically inserts into the tag area.

but setting it up where all the tags show in the frontend would be difficult , it would probably need a hacked version of the topic tag cloud widget.

but yeah i just did a brainstorm/analysis on what you might need.

im not sure how to do this , as im very much confused by jquery and javascript

i would hire a developer to this kind of job.

OK, cannot go back to edit my topic – basically I turned off all of the plug-ins and still could not see the content of the topics. But I put on WP’s default 2014 theme and I COULD see the topics.

So— I suspect it’s my old-a** bbpress non-supported theme. For those of you who found fixes for your themes, can you tell me what you changed and what file you changed it in? I know all themes will differ but it will give me some place to start to do the fix myself.

Thank you!!!

To add to the above post, I just default theme and bbpress, buddypress plugins and bbp BuddyPress profile information except with the testing and the issue continues. I did not test the plug-first rule, because it did not want to rule out any conflicts.

Just got an email there was activity in this thread, and it got me over here to share:

This morning I put an animated smiley under my profile information at the bottom using this plugin! Didn’t know if you could put images in the text field option, but you can, at least with my setup, haven’t checked default theme, etc.

I tested it with both bbCode, which I have active through a different plugin, and html.

[Sasha Endoh]

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this: what I’d like to do is by default show all existing (not just most used) topic tags when someone is creating a topic from within WP, AND to show a check-list or something similar of all existing tags when someone is creating a topic from the front-end form (just like I’m doing right now).

Any pointers would be much appreciated!!

Thank y’all so much 🙂
