when I browse the forum and turn back from the breadcrumbs. Eyelashes root “forum and debates” give me error 404. The default configuration Can you help me please? It is urgent
1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.
You may need to add login or register menu items, or you can use the bbPress login widget and add links to your default WordPress register page or the page you put the [bbp-reigster] shortcode.
2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.
What tab thing? just scroll at the bottom of a forum you created and you should see a topic form.
3. How can I make the forum so that only registered people can reply and non registered people to only look at the forum?
I think as long as you do not have any private forums or enable anonymous posting you can do this by default.
4.How can i get registered users to unsubscribe
You are not really specific on what to subscribe to, but you can unsubscribe to forums and topics by following this guide. You can only unsubscribe to forums and topics if you are already subscribed to them though.
Subscriptions
In other words how can i make the forum on my page like the one on bbpress ?
Hard work and custom development.
Try a default theme. All plugins deactivate except only bbPress.
I have no idea why you think private groups would help users to post, which should be in bbPress by default.
Make sure you users have the participant role and not something like spectator. You can check their forum roles in Users > All users in the WordPress backend.
You told me how to unsubscribe to a forum, so I presumed you already knew how and were already subscribed to a forum.
The page I linked you to is a page on your profile where you can manage your subscriptions (if you already have some), but you can also unsubscribe to forums by clicking the unsubscribe link near the breadcrumbs of the single forum.
By default there should be a link to subscribe to a single forum. The link should be near the breadcrumbs by default and should say Subscribe.
I used post because I thought people would know what I meant, and also so I did not need to repeat forum and topic again. What I meant is below, I guess.
For a user to subscribe to a forum or topic, they need to click the link that will usually be at the top of the post (forum or topic, whatever you are trying to subscribe to) that says Subscribe.
I also thought showing the images showing the blue (its not blue by default, its whatever link color is inherited from your theme) Subscribe link for a single forum and single topic would be clear as day for what I meant.

All you had to say was that you did not edit files, if you did not edit any files.
You did not need to post ALL of the code in the templates that just included any specific keywords to search. If you started fresh from on bbPress then you just posted the default templates.
Do not post full template code, on this site use soemthing like gist.github so I do not have to scroll through all of that in this topic, or even in the forums search on this site.
Did you even try putting the templates into a child theme like I said above??
This one is tough but it has to do with using <?php wpautop() ?>. Also know that the user description field is just a field inherited from the WordPress default profile fields.

For the line-breaks missing it might be some CSS from your theme maybe causing the issue, but link to a post that should have line breaks so I can check and make sure.
ALso fix the oversized avatars using this CSS.
default size bbPress 14px avatar.
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
margin-bottom: 0px;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 1px single #ddd;
width: 14px;
}
default size profile image
#buddypress div#item-header img.avatar {
width: 150px;
}
By default bbPress doesn’t force subscriptions on users so whatever plugin you are using you may need to contact them. If you need the default way of subscriptions to turn off and on based on certain things like being offline then that may be custom development. By default the users can just unsubscribe from notifications from topics or forums if they do not want to keep getting notified anymore.
I am building a forum for bloggers and I want to be able to control their username for accountability purposes. Each member/blogger will be given a username with their login. They will be able to add their first and last name which then allows them to change the display name to first name, last name, first/last, or username. I would like for the dropdown menu in their edit profile section to ONLY show their username no matter what they input in first/last name fields. Or at least override their selection to always default to the username given to them from the beginning.
I am confused as to how to make a ‘contributor’ of wordpress automatically a ‘participant’ in the forum. How do I automate this? I am using BuddyPress, bbpress and User Role Editor plugin. At the moment even if they are a participant I have to manually go through each user and change their access to each element of the forum which, by default, is all set to ‘deny’ so that a participant can’t even see the forum.
Why not add the below code to the theme’s functions.php file?
//Subscribe by default
function subscribed_by_default(){
echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery("#bbp_topic_subscription").prop("checked","checked");</script>';
}
add_filter('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions','subscribed_by_default');
add_filter('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription','subscribed_by_default');
Thanks Robin! (and Robkk) (I just ran across this looking for a solution too.)
I guess my question though… why isn’t this the default behavior in general?
It’s pretty much how BBSs have worked since Internet and email have been around.
(Sorry to sound a bit snarky, but I sometimes wonder if people developing social media and newer BBS systems have even used the tried & true stuff that’s been around forever. Subscription and notification functionality are kind of 1.0 stuff, IMO. And, I know it’s a lot of development work… but even Facebook – with their army of developers – doesn’t seem to get this. So, I have to wonder if it isn’t more oversight than workload oriented.)
Hi all,
Is there an easy enough way to create two columns of forums? Instead of the default one column spanning the entire length of my page.
Many thanks
I have ran the conversion many times and this last time I created an all new smf install using a copy of the existing database. This causes the smf board I am converting from to be in a default condition with no mods or plugins. So I thought this could be the cleanest way to import the board.
However, I am still having the same issues many replies and topics are being left off. After the conversion I ran all the applicable repair tools in the importer but still no change.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Now I’ve tried again from the very beginning, with all the original files for the plugin etc. It has the exact same issue – which means that the problem must be in one of the following files coding – since these are the only ones with the “bbp-search-request” and/or “bbp_search” in it.
Can you see any problems or issues with these files?

I use the https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
to embed a forum in a page [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
it works great, but when the user clicks on a thread it opens in the usual bbPress slug and not within the page. I want the forum to be fully embedded in the page and also that the links from e-mail about replies will direct people to this page and not the default forum.
Hello,
Obviously everyone knows what the default Forum index page looks like
However I would rather be able to have the most recent topics displayed above the index like this page setup using the short codes:
I cant figure out how to actually change the appearance of the forums index. I have the page in the picture above up and running, however when someone clicks on the breadcrum “forum” link, it takes them back to the default forum index, not the page i created with the recent topics listed above.
Thanks for the help 😀 Preston
Good suggestions I must say! But unfortunately none of these worked either. Let me go trough them one by one:
1. I set the permalink structure back to default. The only change here is, that when you search now, and land on the URL string “search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=adwords” – you now see the frontpage for some weird reason?
2. I have no trailing slash in the settings part of the forum
3. I did try the htaccess hack – but this did no change? I still see the frontpage now when I try to search.
Something weird is going on. Would it help you if I send you the code for some of the files for my plugin?
bbPress by default doesn’t allow users to upload images, so it must be another plugin. Since the images seem to be stored in the ckeditor plugin, you may need to contact their support.
Okay I found a few fixes for this possible bug, I will need to contact the devs later to see if they had seen something similar before. One is an htaccess rewrite rule and the other is really something simple.
Okay you can try the trailing slash fix mentioned here first to see if it helps, but you are not really experiencing a 404 error because the search term you are searching is stripped for some reason.
bbPress 2.4 // ERROR // Search stopped working…
As a test try setting your permalinks to default and try searching again to see if it will keep your search term and search for it. The query search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=adwords is usually seen in the default permalink structure instead of /search.
Also make sure you do not have a trailing slash in any of the slugs in Settings>Forums.
The htaccess rewrite method is adding this to your htaccess file on your site that is uaually in the WordPress directory to solve the issue, but do not try this just yet, I don’t want you messing with your htaccess file
# BEGIN bbpress search hack
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)&bbp_search=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/soeg/(.*)$ http://antonhoelstad.dk/soeg/%2/? [L]
</IfModule>
# END bbpress search hack
ok, here is how i fixed it:
i added
<Directory “/var/www/”>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
into /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable/000-default
into the virtual host section.
works fine now. 🙂
thanks for your help, bro!
so how to i set the thread to “solved”?
Its weird that you are getting this, bbPress and BuddyPress should work fine in most permalink structures (not all), but usually pretty permalinks and the default permalinks structure should work fine.
You did not try to edit any of the core plugins to try to fix it right??
Also you didn’t try to modify the htaccess file in WordPress unless you knew what you were doing??
Do you have a multisite installation??
I am making sure this isn’t a user created issue.
Hello,
The bbPress theme “MesoColumn” isn’t available through my host, so I downloaded the file and installed it manually. When accessing the admin panel or the page itself, the page won’t load and stays blank. My forum is here. I know it’s the theme because the default theme works fine, although the inside of the folders is different. My permissions is set to 755 for all the files. Anyone know why it isn’t working?
Thanks for anyone who replies,
Ark9026
Themes could update and introduce something that might cause a conflict, same thing with plugins.
Make sure to check cache, switch to a default theme, go through some plugin troubleshooting to see if there is a possible issue.
Also link to your site, so I could see if it is a CSS issue.
Not really a bbPress issue, but you can follow this if there is not a register link by default.
