Topics and Replier are not linked after importing the bbpress forum data from one WP site to another already live WP site using wordpress default importer. (tools -> import).
Imported properly in backend but on frontend topics and replies are not linked.
Forum repair option event did not worked. This makes topics and replies count zero on frontend.
Need solution ASAP.
Thanks
@lucio – I had the same issue, I wanted my topic list to appear above my subforums, here is the easy fix.
go to> wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress
Find content-single-forum.php
select lines 28-32:
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Find these lines:
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Paste the 3 lines selected above UNDERNEATH those lines (Line #50)
it will be a change
It could be a theme or plugin issue

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Hi,
I am working on a product testimonials project and would like to know if bbpress is the right plugin for the job. Can it do the following:
Visitors can search and view testimonials
Visitors can create an account to post testimonials
Testimonials will include
Title
Text
product name text field: Product used
product url text field: Product link
if text field blank -> default will be used
Account members can post questions under testimonials – original poster will be notified and can reply
Possibly create a paid account where ads are removed.
Thank you!!
Hi Robin! Thanks for the reply.
This is what I am using to reorder replies:
// Reverse forum replies order from newer to older
function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC'; // ‘ASC’ (Ascending, Default), 'DESC' (Descending)
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = 'true';
return $show_lead;
}
add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );
hmm
you’ll need to alter several files, so general first
altering bbpress templates
You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.
so if you wanted to amend loop-single-forum you would do the following
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
files
There may be others, but
loop-forums (forum headings)
loop-single forum (forum content)
loop-topics (single forum heading)
loop-single-topic (single forum content)
will get you most of the way there
can only suggest that something else is putting it there
maybe try

Hi everybody,
I would like to creat a home for my forum who loop some forum in blocs. And in this bloc I would like to list sub forum with topic count, post count and freshness.
I make a mockup to be more precise ^^ You can the here: https://ibb.co/zFD60d1
I already try to make these loop but I can’t retrieve the freshness & counts for each sub forum.
And also I need to design differently each row but bbpress retrieve data in columns…
Do you already make something like this ?
I found this function:
//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' => ' <span class="counts">[ ',
'count_after' => ' réponse(s) ]</span>',
'count_sep' => ' sujet(s), ',
'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
$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' );
I got the description of subforum, it’s a good start..
bbpress just uses wordpress login, so

If I want to change a default user capability. For example let participants delete their own topics or replies. Am I supposed to edit capabilities.php directly? Or is there some other way to do this? I see a number pages discussing this, but they all seem to talk about editing that file. I also found a reference to something called “keep_gate” but I can’t actually find the documentation on it. Sorry if I’m being dense 🙂
Hi, for future people who may meet this issue, i used this fix but it worked only on one of my 2 websites. However, i could solve it on my website, and i believe that the origin of the problem has been found :
This solution may work for those who have installed a membership plugin (s2member, wishlistmember, optimizepress). The issue seems to be with the way these plugins manage the searches. They seem to catch on the fly the searches to hide content, and can create a conflict of compatibility with some other plugins like bbpress which need to display content based on roles. Plugins like Wishlistmember and S2member (or optimizepress, based on s2member,) allow deactivating of this without creating any major issue for the membership site. For those using optimizepress, it can be done thanks to the alternative view protection feature in OP. I only unchecked “Searches”, and the problem disapeared, which would confirm this idea that the issue comes from the way that searches are handled by the membership plugin.
For those using WLM, here is someone who found where to made a similar configuration (although it may have a bigger impact) :
“The issue on my site had to do with a setting in WishList Member. For me I had to go to WishList Member >> Settings >> Protection Defaults and then set the “Only show content for each membership level:” and set to “No”. After I did that it worked.”

best way would be to edit the templates
loop_forums
loop-single-forum
loop-topics
loop-single-topic
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
then repeat for the others

ok, now I can see – this is well beyond free help, buy suggest you start by looking at modifying
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with

Default:
“My website title that is fricking long” > Forums > Forum > Post
I know how to change everything except “My website title that is fricking long”. I obviously don’t want to change my website’s name, I just want to change what is shown in the forum breadcrumb and there is not a setting for that.
Thanks
These changes I made in php files
BbPress plugin
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-forum.php
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-topic.php
Add this
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
After this
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘replies’ ); ?>

Hi All,
Had the same issue as described above. The default phpbb.php import script didn’t convert anonymous users of topics and replies and the Pixenated script looped infinately with the conversion of users.
I’ve fixed the script and uploaded to PasteBin. Feel free to share widely.
https://pastebin.com/FpWsxsUG
How To:
1) Upgrade phpBB to v.3.2.5
2) Install BBpress 2.6 RC7
3) Upload to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/phpbb.php
Remember that real men don’t do backups. They cry a lot. 🙂
Hi, I imported a vbulletin forum into bbpress.
When I do the repair, I get a blank page for these 2:
– Recalculate the position of each re-entry
– Reset existing users to default forum rules
I tried again and again, always the same result.
How can I solve?
Thanks!
here is all the code I have (line 614 to 626) :
$args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’; // ‘ASC’ (Ascending, Default), ‘DESC’ (Descending)
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args’, ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ );
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );
The errors :
Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ – assumed ‘‘custom_bbp_has_replies’’ in /home/acania/public_html/demo/wp-content/themes/woffice-child-theme/functions.php on line 619

In fact answers are not inverted anymore…
your first bit of code should be
function custom_bbp_has_replies($args) {
$args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’; // ‘ASC’ (Ascending, Default), ‘DESC’ (Descending)
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args’, ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ );
The ($args) brings in all the existing args and then your next line modifies just the ‘order’ arg. Otherwise the only argument passed to the query is the ‘order’ arg, so there is nothing to display.
Hello there,
I have a problem with pasting links in new topics : they do not display. (They do display normall in replies though)
This is due to trying to inverse order of replies : I used bbpress toolkit for that purpose and the problem happened.
I also tried inverting replies order with this snippet in functions.php file :
function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
$args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’; // ‘ASC’ (Ascending, Default), ‘DESC’ (Descending)
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args’, ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ );
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );
the snippet works as far as replies rder is concerned, but then I bump in the same problem, links not displaying in new topics.
Any clue how to invert replies order without this link issue ?
thanks
