ok, I don’t think you have the standard index template

Have you got in your theme the following file

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or have you amended

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

[Robin W]

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.

Then come back

Yes I tried disabling all plugins except the bbpress plugin itself. I also switched to a default theme but no luck.

I have the forum slug set as ‘forums’ and I used the bbpress.php file for the template. I tried creating a page named “Forums” with the URL https://www.fantasyfootballbackers.co.uk/forums/ and removed the file bbpress.php but the issue still remains. Currently it is using the bbpress.php template.

[Robin W]

ok, so is it the same with plugins disabled and default theme as per

Before Posting

and how is your forums page constructed – eg shortcodes, bbpress.php file etc.

MkEditor 4.4.5 (when this is active replaces the default message box)

and with that disabled???

[AlbertFox]

Hello! i have a problem with bbpress, html tags are appearing on the sending posts.
The system now makes line breaks also and <br>.

Sometimes also a paste from pdf or word appears wrong.
Can you help? The idea would be to write and paste can look good without these problems appear.

Very thanks for all 🙂
have a nice day

BBPress version 2.5.4

[Robin W]

ok I think you need to strip this down and rebuild

I’d suggest that you create a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

then on the test site

disable all plugins except bbpress AND switch to a default theme such as twentyten

Then if this doesn’t fix, go into

tools forums and reset forums to delete all the data

Then uninstall and reinstall bbpress.

Then prove that this set-up ie a default theme with no other plugins, just bbpress, works by creating topics, and checking the backend shows forum etc.

You should then have a working site

next add you theme back and check again

Then you can add plugins one at a time to find out what is wrong,testing each time that it still works.

If it all re-builds ok, then you can do the same reset and re-install to fix the live site

Lots of work, but until you get to a stripped down working site, you’ll probably not make progress.

I presume you want rid of the one to the left of search ?

that should be in

bbpress/templates/default/bbopress/content-archive-forum.php line 24 in 2.5.5

[Robin W]

bit of a difference between

and wanted it removed completely

and

I merely want to move it.

🙂

but it doesn’t seem as if that’s possible.

um, yes it is, you just hadn’t asked !

just use

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

in the code

there are many template files that use this

just look in

templates\default\bbpress\

and you’ll find all the templates

tell us where you want it, and we’ll try to help further

I know what he means,

here http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat/

the title of the main forum, it is “Archive – site name” by default.

I do not know also how change it.

[davidnsfw]

Welcome.

Thanks, now there is no sidebar.

But I want to make the forum wider,

here is screenshot https://i.imgur.com/gAv9v1h.png

Is it possible?

Also, do you know how to change the title of the main forum, it is “Forums Archive – site name” by default.

that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.

Hi there, could someone help me figure out where to stop my bbpress topic and breadcrumb links from defaulting to target=”_blank”?

When I’m on my forum archive page — or anywhere else on the site — everything is fine, but once I start navigating to topic pages, all of the links start popping up in new windows: http://pafoic.org/forums/

I’m running WordPress 4.1.1 with a Customizr Pro child theme, and bbPress version 2.5.6

I feel like the solution should be somewhere in plugins > bbpress > includes > topics but I’m just not finding it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Our phpbb3 forum was migrated to a brand new WordPress installation with bbPress installed (not BuddyPress). It was done by a consultant, so I am not sure how much of the code was custom vs a phpbb3 migration tool.

We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced” and allowing the read_private_topics and read_private_replies. This now allows Participants to read the private topics, but also allows them to see Hidden forums. They cannot see the content/topics of the forums, but they can see the hidden forum titles.

The remapping to default was done with the repair tool. It had no impact, except to require me to go back and reset the handful of users that were not set to Participants.

The big question that seems unresolved in many threads is whether Participants are supposed to see Private topics/replies, or if that is a misprint in the documentation? Why would we have to use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to do what the docs say should happen by default.

WP 4.1.1
bbPress 2.5.6

My forums are marked as Private. My members have the forum role of Participant. They can see the private forums, but are unable to see the underlying topics. The counts are there, but when the forum is opened, they receive the message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”.

Using the plugin “bbPress Advanced Capabilities”, I see the following.

View private forums : Allow
View private topics : Denied
View private replies : Denied

So I use the above plugin to change the Denied to Allow for a particular user. It has no effect. I have also done the repair to remap everyone to the default, which is Participant. The private topics are also not appearing in the Twenty Fourteen theme.

Why is this happening if private forums are supposed to be available to logged in members? How can I correct this for my 3,000 members? We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

[Robkk]

you can add the bbpress post type to the default wordpress search.

copy this into your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

bbPress should do this now by default like this site has it.

[Jake Hall]

Hi all,

I have slowly developed my own theme for bbPress + WordPress, and it has been a sharp learning curve trying to get my head around the code for WordPress. Anyway, I am having an issue where I can drill down into a topic, however, no posts are ever displayed. The only thing that is displayed on screen is the “Add new Reply” GUI.

I am essentially wondering, why is this happening, and how can I fix it? I have tried to replicate the same problem on the default wordpress themes and they work fine, so – what have I managed to do with my theme that has broken everything?

Any help would be appreciated,

[Droidwall]

Hey

Thanks For you Help

Im German Soooo Sorry for mistakes

[Chad R. Schulz]

Sorry, I just noticed a typo in my post. The php file you need to alter is loop-single-reply.php and it’s going to be in your plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder. But it may also be in your theme’s folder if your theme has custom bbpress template files. If your theme has a bbpress folder in it themes/{your theme}/bbpress than that’s the file your need to make your adjustments to.

Make your simple addition: put <?=function_exists('thumbs_rating_getlink') ? thumbs_rating_getlink() : ''?> inbetween <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content' ); ?> and <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_content' ); ?> either before the content <?php bbp_reply_content(); ?> or after it. It all depends on what you prefer.

And then put it in your theme’s child folder: themes/{child-theme}/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php.

If you aren’t using a child theme (highly recommended, BTW) you’ll will have to modify this file directly and replace it in the default folder. And, every time you update your theme and/or bbpress you may need to recreate this modification.

And for css modifications you’ll have to insert the appropriate css mods (use Google Chrome to identify the css selectors and properties/values) into a custom.css file/plugin–I either use the one in Jetpack or in a stand alone plugin. You can also add the css modifications into your child theme’s .css file.

–Refer to the plugin author’s support page on wordpress.org. There are a lot of valuable css tips and suggestions. Also, the author had proven to be very helpful in getting his plugin up and running for most people.

Oh, and my website is currently in the development stage and won’t be made public for awhile. I’m building it at my leisure, “The joy of hobby sites.”

Hopefully this clears up a few things. It’s kinda hard to describe everything in detail. I just end up muddling through until it looks/acts OK. As a suggestion make sure you keep a default/unmodded .php file handy to switch back and forth with until everything works. Wouldn’t want to have to bother reupping a new file from a theme/bbpress .zip file every time you screw something up.

Good luck, Chad

Activating the visual editor or CKEditor plugin for bbPress (editing functions.php) A “HTML” tab is created in the message topic form. And by default must be pressed manually on “VISUAL” to write the rich text editor and display all the options. It’s confusing…

My question is: How can 1) make the visual editor to default and 2) hide tabs “HTML” on the message/topic form?
