It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

We’re use white text on a dark background in our BBPress Forum.
The problem that we’re having is that the Insert/edit Link Box defaults to white background, now with unreadable white text.
Can the background color of this message window be modified?
If not, is there a way I can set the text in this message window to display as dark, while retaining the white text on the forum?

Thanks!
Has this just started happening?

I suspect it is your theme, but carry out the tests above, and then come back !
sorry to post this here but my i cannot create topics or anything on the site..
i have been messing with this all day and getting quite aggrevated
my members cannot edit they’re topics or replies or forums if i allowed it which i dont
And they cannot create a topic from the Dashboard menu bar at the top
so the topics they are allowed to use looks totally horrible and does not have all my wordpress options, well i think it uses the normal wordpress replies maybe i would need to change that?
If they could Edit they could use the proper Tools after but..
Unless i set Edit_others_posts there is absolutely nothing i can do to allow them to edit
it always says you do not have the proper rights
and of course i DO NOT want them to be allowed to edit other peoples posts…
How could i make it so that they can edit they’re own posts only
and that they could post a Topic Directly from the Dashboard bar at the top of page to be able to have the proper tools instead of using post topic like a reply
I did reset all users to default Role since i saw it mentioned often and it didnt help
Only if id set it to moderator they could edit theyre own posts
but they can delete everything from everyone
i am using latest WordPress and latest bbpress with twenty fourteen theme and i have no plugins that would conflict
Still did not help. Yes, I
1. Created a wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child folder
2. Created a twentyeleven-child/styles.css file with the info from the instructions
3. I copied twentyeleven/sidebar-page.php to twentyeleven-child/bbpress.php
4. I created a twentyeleven-child/css filder
5. I copied the bbpress.css file from the plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css folder to the twentyeleven-child/css folder.
6. I modified the bbpress.css to change a few colors.
7. I installed the plugin plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css and configured it to look at bbpress.php
8. I chose Post Name int he Permalink Settings
9. I created a page call Forums and ensured its Permalink was forums
10. I tried both default and sidebar template for it.
I tried both of the above suggestions in style.css and bbpress.css in the child tree to no avail.
I would be good with going with a “wide” page and no sidebar and just putting creating pages for logins and so forth, however, the problem there is the index page ends up with a blank sidebar so looks funky.
Thanks four your help and suggestion though!
Hello guys,
I’m using the latest version of WordPress and BBpress to date.
I don’t know if this is expected default behavior but in the front page of my forum, the total topic counts only show in the categories and not next to each forum.
I would like the categories NOT to have any count, and for the counts only to show next to the forums.
Any idea of what I could do?
Thanks!
I just tested this and it works fine, as it states: “Disallow editing after ‘x’ minutes”, that does not infer setting to 0 will disable topic/reply editing 😉
Thus, if you set it to 1 editing will be disabled after 1 minute, the default is 5 minutes.
If this is not working for you check your time and date settings, someone else had this issue a while back and as they had the incorrect time zone configured it was adding the time zone difference to the allowed editable time 🙂
this one indeed makes its job – links are re-generated just fine!
but unfortunately i’m getting the 404 page on click of every such link. is there any specific option to be set in permalinks section or am i missing something?
i’ve tried to kick permalink settings to default and then back to custom with /%postname% with no luck. every time 404 is displayed i also see the path string to kolya’s plugin
here is a working draft: http://www.pooledge.hol.es/pup4b
forum topics are on the right sidebar in the second list
thank you in advance for any input
Versions: WordPress 3.9.2, bbpress 2.5.4, bbpress WP Tweaks 1.3.1
Site: http://www.obatron.com/forums
Theme: TwentyEleven
I have a child theme: twentyeleven-child with a style.css file in it, no customizations to it. I added a folder under it called css and copied the bbpress.css from the plugins tree to it to change the colors only (still working on colors so pardon if there are issues). I copied the sidebar-page.php file to bbpress into this folder.
My Forum page is blank, just titled Forums with a Permalink named http://www.obatron.com/forums/ and a template set as Default.
The problem: Forum index works fine, but when you go to a forum, the sidebar and the forum display overlap. I’ve tried various combinations of removing/moving the bbpress.php file to no avail. I also tried without the tweaks plugin, without the child template, and so on…
I tried going with just a full page and just use pages with the proper tags for login, etc, but then the forum index looks odd because it continues to use the sidebar template no matter what.
If I change the theme options to put the sidebar on the right, the forum index continues to work, but the forum page sidebar now appears below the forum…
Now, I’ve searched for this and see others occasionally complaining about similar, but have not seen an answer that works…
Hey, how i can disable this option in bbpress forum settings; Disallow editing after x minutes, if i type 0 or leacve it blank, it still uses default setup (5 minutes)?
WordPress version 3.9.2–fi
bbPress Version 2.5.4
My site
ok, I’d try two things
1. use method 2
2. switch to a default theme for a moment to see if this is a theme problem
I used Method 1
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything
b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.
Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.
Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)
Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.
Job done!
I don’t know what information you need to help me. All I know is that when I publish a forum I can see it for example . . .
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/
But when I follow the breadcrumbs to home of the forum I get a totally useless page from which I can’t get to any forums. If you look you can see that there is some text that suggests there are other forums but no live links to them. Can you think of what is wrong?

Thank you for trying to help Robin.

ok guys nice to meet you all and forgive me about my poor English.
my site is http://www.lotyr.cc/ and It’s a Chinese one, bbPress entrance is http://www.lotyr.cc/bbs/.
I’m using WordPress 3.9.2, Customized Thematic 1.0.4 theme and bbPRESS 2.5.4.
Here comes my problem:
I want my bbs users to upload and insert images before submitting a topic, so I used a plugin named [bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab], I enabled the media upload button through it and it works.
The default role of my site is contributor so [upload_files]capability is on, I double-checked it through another plugin.
And that contributor have the access to “media” in dashboard, upload works.
but when the contributor uploads through the button in the forum, it said “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” I checked the upload folder and there’s no new files.
is there any solution to it?
Well, since no one replied I played around a bit more, broke the website and then started again and tried something new. This answer is really for peeps who come across the same problem and don’t know what the problem is or how to fix, so I hope this helps.
My problem was the .php structure of my permalinks. Our server is configured in a very stupid way (and unfortunately I can’t change it) so I’ve reverted back to the default permalink settings which doesn’t incorporate .php in the URLs. And now everything works fine.
So, if you have .php in your URL, bbpress user profiles won’t work.
I had the same problem with a trial WP site I have running locally on my Mac, using MAMP.
The problem disappeared after I did…
[1]
Dashboard / Settings / Permalink = Post Name.
Dashboard / Settings / General: Anyone Can Register = Y; New User Default Role = Subscriber.
Dashboard / Settings / Forums: Default User Role = Participant; leave other settings at default.
[1]
Dashboard / Settings / General Settings
Two fields to edit, called “WordPress Address (URL); Site Address (URL).
http://localhost:8888/wordpress ORIGINAL…PROBLEM
http://localhost:80/wordpress REVISED… STILL PROBLEM
http://localhost/wordpress REVISED… NO PROBLEM!

At the MAMP control panel click on Preferences; click on button “Set Apache & MySQL ports to 80, 3306. Log in again to WP.

Worked for me!

well looks like i solved it,..
created bbpress.php in theme dir , and inserted all from page.php from default theme.
all looks fine so far.
Hate to answer my own post.. anyway, this works okay for me.
1. add shortcode [bbp-topic-form] in the feedback-no-search.php
2. use javascript to change the form default value i.e.
<?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-form forum_id=4135]'); ?>
<script>
FormObject = document.forms['new-post'];
FormObject.elements["bbp_topic_title"].value = '<?php echo bbp_get_search_terms(); ?>';
</script>
In template feedback-no-search.php, I would like to add a suggestion to the user to create a new topic instead (since there is no result of the search). How can I make the searched keywords as the default title of the new topic ?
I think I can put the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] in the feedback-no-search.php file but would like the new topic form to have a default Title == searched text.
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone,
I would like to know if and how I can assign a default role in bbpress for users who registered. I have my forums set up that people who are not registered at all cant see or access some forums, while registered users can see and access those forums. Right now I have to manually assign every new registered user to that specific group. Is there a option I can link the wordpress role of participant to a group in bbpress?
it is in
\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
However it would be easiest to change the text using a function which you put in your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
Functions files and child themes – explained !
no i dont want to do that , its harder for me to design the look of the widget.
here let me explain a little bit more on why i want to hack your shortcodes plugin to show recent replies.
well first i want my recent replies (and also recent topics) to look sort of like any recent comments widget. im going to use jetpacks recent comments on their website as an example.
I have already pretty much made a copy of your shortcode plugin , edited it and threw it in my functions.php and put the shortcode in the visual editor widget by blackstudio
heres what it looks like vs the default recent topics widget.
now to make a replies widget with your shortcode all i have to do is rearrange code and use css to style everything together.
to make it look like its showing recent replies, i just show the latest reply authors avatar , their name and what topic they replied on and im done.
The only problem when doing this is if there is no replies on a topic , it would just show the topic author instead.
Plus if you can figure this out i can also make a hack to make a replies archive. Which would be cool for something else i might do and ILL share it all when im done.
i just need help on only showing topics with replies instead of all topics. if that is possible.
you’d do better to just steal the replies widget I wrote for private groups
download
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
and then open up and edit
includes/pg_forum_widgets.php
line 464 onwards has the replies widget, I’m pretty sure that lines 539 to 542
//PRIVATE GROUPS Get an array of IDs which the current user has permissions to view
$allowed_posts = private_groups_get_permitted_post_ids(new WP_Query($query_data));
// The default forum query with allowed forum ids array added
$query_data['post__in'] = $allowed_posts;
is all that’s added to the orginal code, so remove those lines.
and line 574 contains the size
you can just fork all that to the end of the file into your functions file
I managed to get user profiles and admin editing privileges to work after changed the url style to default instead of post name. But even after setting the user edit post time to 99999 I cannot edit a post as a user. I disabled all plug-in except bbPress and it still would not work.
1. Is it possible to disable the Text editor, hopefully with CSS?
yeah , heres a way
I dont know for sure if the visual editor is displayed by default when you see the reply form.
post it anywhere where you can put custom css
in your child themes css stylesheet
the jetpack plugin module custom css
a standalone custom css plugin
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper div.quicktags-toolbar {
display: none;
}
#bbpress-forums .wp-editor-tabs {
display:none;
}
