I have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch

In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.

What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?

I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3

[KPDub]

Updated to WP 4.4 and sub forums are no longer accessible, getting the Ooops….message

Tried deactivating all plugins, using a default template and still get the same error.

IF I go into dashboard I can actually get to the topics from the backend, but its of no use to my site members

Have asked for my hosting company to reinstall a backup from last 24 hours as my backup failed

MODERATOR EDIT :

There is a SUMMARY of this issue and what to do at the end of this thread (or near it) – to save newcomers having to read the whole thread

[Robkk]

I cannot replicate this issue on the default single site installation of bbPress, or on multisite, using the bbPress forum index shortcode.

Glad you fixed it using a tool?? Do not know for sure what tool exactly you are talking about though.

[FliP0x]

Using WordPress 4.2.1, bbpress 2.5.8.

The problem I have it the following: (dots are spaces, eg. how many times enter has been pressed)

“Example post
.
.
.
Example post”

won’t keep its original spacing and gets squeezed into:

“Example post
Example post”

I don’t want to increase the default margins, I just want bbpress to recognize spaces in a post.

[chigoziekyrian]

Ok. Thanks, but which theme are you talking about?? the bbpress theme or my blog theme??? because am using the bbpress default theme

[Robkk]

@drewamca using this PHP code snippet will also work too. Add this function to your child themes functions.php file or add it to a seperate plugin like functionality.

function filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings( $settings ) {

 $buttons_array = explode( ',', $settings['buttons'] );

 $buttons = array_diff( $buttons_array, array(
   'del','ul','ol','li','close'
 ) );

 $settings['buttons'] = implode( ',', $buttons );

     return $settings;
 };

 add_filter( 'bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 'filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 10, 1 );

Here is a list of the default buttons you can add to the function.

strong, em, link, block, del, img, ul, ol, li, code, close

help please?

My group forums suddenly disappeared, but get this, only the active ones (if that gives any clue) I get this message now when I visit the forum:

This group does not currently have a forum.

I tried fresh installs of bbpress, nothing is changing.
When I go to the backend of groups, I can select the forum name, and save settings: but the forum is still not on the front end.

In the dropdown menu on the frontend of the group, the default shows now as “No Forum”, then there are other group forums in the dropdown menu, but none of the ones listed are that group’s forum name.

site: http://planetgirlworld.com/wordpress
everything is updated to latest version.
we use theme “Kleo”.

@kallard

Checking your site again, the padding for the bbPress forum header that shows the labels looks a little cozy to the left, you may need to edit the padding-left: 0 !important;, by default I think the padding is set to about 8px, maybe setting 0 to 8px or removing the !important might help with that.

How do I add the number of posts under the name and the symbolic images of the user?

Post count is coming to a future release of bbPress. You can use a plugin like this to add the counts for now.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

What exactly do you mean by symbolic images??

How do I change the title to any user of an optional title?
Ex: the title of the current user in the Forum (supervisor) want to have the title of supervisor (supervisor pictures)

You can rename the current forum roles to whatever you want with this php code snippet in this guide. Add the function to your child themes functions.php or in a plugin that can hold custom code snippets like functionality.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

You can also create custom user roles with custom capabilities and add the custom names there.

Custom Capabilities

How to determine the powers of the supervisors so far have not I transfer Lists Musharraf to it have all the powers modification and deletion of all sections I wanted to be the powers of the supervisor on only a particular section

Assigning a user to a forum is not possible in the default functionality of the latest stable version of bbPress.

[chigoziekyrian]

copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file

please what is child theme, and what do you mean by me adapting the file??

am sorry for my ignorance, thanks so much for the reply

[brandbakbak]

Hi
I have created the Login/Register page. But while creating another page for ‘Lost Password’ its not working.
In Visual composer when I am adding the default page ‘bbpress Lost pasword’ it shows template added to page. But it remains blank. No element shows up.

Thanks
Kasana

Hi,
To remove the messages above and below, you could use CSS like:

		.bbp-template-notice {
			display: none;
		}

or use a plugin like bbP Toolkit.

To change the message so it includes the standard bbPress login, you would have to copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file. On line 175 add:
<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
so that it becomes:

<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
 <p><?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?></p>

If you want to do something different, this is anyway the place to start from.

Pascal.

[chigoziekyrian]

please how can i edit this link under posts for logged out users (You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log in/Register)

or how can i edit it to change the redirect url to a specific registration page, not the default one that loads either on ajax or javascript. Thanks

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:

Well I am not seeing an issue with my forums disappearing with WP Monalisa activated.

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

Well your not using TinyMCE so you would see the error I come across. Like said there is an issue, so you may not need to activate it. There is a plugin on wordpress repository and a code snippet in the codex to allow TinyMCE.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Yes, wordpress plugins do not work for the old standalone version, but with the plugin version. I cannot test to see if an install of bbPress v1 would cause an issue, as I cannot run this on wamp. Kind of do not know how to install bbPress v1 anyway.

Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:

A new version of WordPress probably removed the smilies setting like the wp monalisa plugin says, there was a version with that setting before.

[Robkk]

There should be pagination at the top and bottom of a topic by default?? Do you have reply threading enabled? With reply threading enabled there is no pagination.

[Robkk]

and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?

bbPress cannot do this by default, you may need a plugin for this. I think their is one in the WordPress repository called bbPress bbPress post by email. It needs to be hooked up with an SMTP service though.

[Robkk]

On my menu on wordpress I am getting link.com/forum-4/ and I cant remove the “-4”?

Well you created a page called forum 3 other times that is why it adds the -4 to the end.

If you are creating a “forum page”, know that you really do not have to do this. Just go to /forums or whatever the forum root slug is set in your forum settings in Settings > Forums.

I’m getting the same error on bbpress with some forums.

Are you naming a forum, “forum”??

Also, where is the function for users to register and their profiles?

Since your using the bbPress plugin, you register through WordPress login and register forms. bbPress has some shortcodes you can place in a page, and they will redirect you to the default WordPress forms since they aren’t really dedicated forms.

Profiles should be present if users click their name on the bbPress login widget, the author link in their posts, or you can add a custom menu item using a function in this guide.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[lissyhunnybee]

It may not be the most elegant solution but the following worked for me….

In your theme’s functions.php place this code:

//* Remove Commas in BBPress Post Tag Display
function my_bbp_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
	echo my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id, $args );
}

function my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
 
		// Bail if topic-tags are off
		if ( ! bbp_allow_topic_tags() )
			return;

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'before' => '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;',
			'sep'    => '',
			'after'  => '</p></div>'
		), 'get_topic_tag_list' );
 
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// Topic is spammed, so display pre-spam terms
		if ( bbp_is_topic_spam( $topic_id ) ) {
 
			// Get pre-spam terms
			$terms = get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_spam_topic_tags', true );
 
			// If terms exist, explode them and compile the return value
			if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {
				$terms  = implode( $r['sep'], $terms );
				$retval = $r['before'] . $terms . $r['after'];
 
			// No terms so return empty string
			} else {
				$retval = '';
			}
 
		// Topic is not spam so display a clickable term list
		} else {
			$retval = get_the_term_list( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), $r['before'], $r['sep'], $r['after'] );
		}
 
		return $retval;
	}

Then copy bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-topic.php into your theme bbpress folder and replace <?php bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?> with <?php my_bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?>

Hope that helps others looking to do the same thing, and if there’s a better solution let me know lol

[Robkk]

You may need to refresh any cache if you cannot see any changes appear.

The original code in loop-single-topic.php from \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

Has this code. Which makes it not show up in single forum pages, so it is only visible in topics created section in your forum profile, forum search, and the topic archive on yoursite.com/topics. You may need to remove the conditional if you want to always have it visible.

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() || ( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

[Robkk]

If you have reply threading activated, you do not have pagination. You should have reply post pagination with the default layout.

[deanhills]

Thanks for the prompt reply robkk.

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
http://totius.tk/

When I activate Mona Lisa, the BBPress Forum disappears. You only see the link in the navigation bar, but it isn’t linked any more. When you click on it it is dead. Then when I deactivate the Mona Lisa plugin, the Forum is back again.

I first started with a stand alone BBPress Forum, i.e. one directly loaded from the BBPress Website, as I wanted to experiment to see how good it is. There are the three plugins that come loaded with the site. But when I try to load any of the other plugins they won’t install. I.e. I would upload them to the plugins folder through cPanel, they do show, but when I click on them, there is an error message that comes up.

Then next I tried BBPress with WordPress – i.e. I started from scratch with a WordPress site and loaded it as a plugin as per the totius.tk example. I was able to download and install the Monalisa plugin, but when I activate it, the BBPress forum disappears. The blog part however is active. Only the forum is disabled.

So yes, there has to be a conflict between BBPress and the Mona Lisa plugin.

By the way, this is what my WordPress (up to date version) dashboard Settings/Writing looks like. You mention

while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Is there anything I could have done when it was a bbpress stand alone for the plugin to have been able to be installed?

[32diego]

After my last theme update (Total theme) the forum is broken.

It is now appearing as a post (screenshot attached). If i switch back to the default theme it shows up fine. No caching being used anywhere. Run through troubleshooting with theme support who have said they changed nothing that would break this. Their theme supports bbpress intergration.

Any one any suggestions?

anyone else had this issue or has any suggestions?

[Pascal Casier]

1. and 2.
You might want to create a standard WordPress page called ‘forums’ and give it the http://raquiia.com/gaming/forums/ URL. In that way you override the default page.
Then use shortcode for your chat, the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and the shortcode for your statistics. (see shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ )

For 3. at lot can be done, but I have the impression you want to heavily customize, so if you want to do your own coding you could create a child theme and put copies there of the main bbPress files and start modifying them.

Then of course hundreds of plugins already exist. If you want to do something specific, just open another support request here and we will try to guide you.

Enjoy bbPress !
Pascal.

Hi Pascal, thank you for your reply. This css is to hide the default Divi sidebar that is called on single post types. I’ve tried commenting out that code and it still doesn’t resolve the issue?

[Jules]

Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been asked before. I’ve tried searching through the forums and can’t find a solution – I’ve tried a couple (such as creating a bbpress.php file in a bbpress directory in my child themes folder) but it doesn’t resolve the issue.

I have the Forum Index/Root set to the default ‘Forums’ slug. However, when I try to visit this link: http://sheisboss.co.uk/forums – I just get a completely blank page.

I’m truly stumped! Any advice would be awesome – thank you 🙂
