bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

– Scroll on that page to “Joining the WordPress team on Slack” and enter your email address
– Check your email and you will have a “user@chat.wordpress.org” account

load my style pack, and you’ll find a shortcode to do just this

[Pascal Casier]

Unfortunately not.
Do you have the possibility to switch to a standard wordpress theme ?
Or deactivate all plugins except bbPress ? Then reactivate one by one

Hi,
bbPress translation files comes automatically and the ‘search’ button is in the translated list:
value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>"
But I see you also have ‘topics’, ‘posts’ and ‘freshness’, so nothing is translated.

Can you please tell me:
1) in what language locale your WordPress is running in ?
Dashboard > Settings > General Settings > Site Language

2) What version of WordPress and bbPress you are using ?

Pascal.

I fixed my issue by using the default wordpress search (not bb search widget) and by adding this snippet into my functions.php. This snippet adds the bbpress hook into the default search and works like a charm (adds topics & replies) to search results. This will also make it much easier styling the search results page consistently (forum results vs blog / page results).

Thanks to: @undergroundnetwork for your snippet!

[Robin W]

So I can help others – what version of wordpress are you running?

[thinkDrew]

@vadim77

You are correct! When you change the + symbol in between the words to %20, everything works as it’s supposed to.

@Robkk

Considering the change from the + symbol to %20 works, what would our next steps be in order to get this working properly? If we can get the search to return the %20 as the separator, everything should be fine.

I have tried this within the 2015 / 2016 default wordpress themes with the same issue. Plugins running are Ultimate Member, bbpress & WP SMTP

Hello,

I am using this plugin to add signatures: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

I would like the Revision information to align under the Signiture. I am currently using this CSS.

.topic.type-topic.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content,
.reply.type-reply.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content{
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -moz-box;

    box-orient: vertical;
}

	-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2;

It is working fine in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer and Safari on apple devices such as IPhones. Can you please take a look for me?

Thanks.

Could you try with a profiler plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ ? If it gives you any indication of what plugin is so slow ?
Don’t forget to uninstall it when you’re completely done (it takes unnecessary resources)

@robkk , using your stuff 🙂

[berkelmudez]

Yup I have literally copied all the code from ‘loop-topics.php’ in custom theme to the wordpress theme twenty fifteen, where it correctly does return true and topics are shown correctly.
I must have done something wrong in my custom theme, I just have no idea what the possible causes could be tho.

It just came to my mind that it might be template php file that bbpress uses, I’ll go check that now.
I use bbpress in combination with buddypress maybe it can be something with that also.

[berkelmudez]

Hi people,

I basically can’t get to show any topics on a custom theme that I’ve been making.
I think it has nothing to do plugins, in my custom theme when I call ‘bbp_has_topics()’ it returns the boolean false. But when I switch to the wordpress theme twenty fifteen, I get returned the boolean true and it basically shows the topic correctly, with all plugins turned on.

However my forums list get displayed correctly, and the topic detail page will only display the topic when I turn off the ‘bbp_show_lead_topic()’ as it by default only shows when that function return true which in my custom theme it doesn’t.

the function ‘bbp_has_topics()’ basically get influenced or something as soon as I switch to my custom theme. To be honest honest I have no clue what causes this action to influence that those bbp function, I was hoping someone here did.

Does anyone have any suggestions or have encountered this problem and knows what could possibly cause this problem?

[Robin W]

lots of things !

Start with

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Then come back

@brovashift

Ok I’ve done some testing.

bbpress uses the display_name as stored in wp_user table.

If you allow registration

ie – Dashboard>settings>membership – anyone can register

then yes, the user_nicename and the display_name in wp_user table are the same and the same as the username entered by the person registering.

If you don’t allow registration, and you add users manually

ie Dashboard>users>add new user

and you don’t enter the first and last name, then the user_nicename and display_name are the same

BUT if you enter the firstname and lastname, then the nice_name is the username, but the display_name is saved as firstname followed by lastname !

So a bit of inconsistency by WordPress.

Now display_name is all that we can play with in bbpress, and users can change their display_name under bbpress in the profile area.

So I plan to put a function in my style pack that will let the user choose what the default display_name is, and optionally disable users from creating a nickname and/or changing the default.

Hello,

Thanks

Bonsoir JF,

First of all, please try to change your permalink settings (Settings > Permalinks) to plain and save. Then try the events calendar again.

If that didn’t work, could you please try (if this makes sense to you):
In Admin > Events > Settings > Community > Access Control, UNcheck the “Block access to WordPress Admin” and have all “Roles to block” UNchecked

If that didn’t work, could you please try to copy this code into your functions.php and let me know if it fixed your issue ?

function casiepa_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
    global $wp_the_query;

    if ( $query === $wp_the_query && $query->is_main_query() && is_array( $query->query_vars['post_type'] ) && in_array( 'forum', $query->query_vars['post_type'] ) ) {
        $query->query_vars['post_type'] = 'forum';
    }

    return $query;
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'casiepa_pre_get_posts', 11);

Please get back to us with some news.

Pascal.

I just installed the latest version (2.5.8) on bbPress on a WordPress site where The Event Calendar plugins (vers. 4.0.7) was installed. After that, I wasn’t able to add or modify an event. I disabled bbPress, and then The Event Calendar works well as before.
Does anayone khow about this problem ? I would like to keep using The Event Calendar but also start using bbPress.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Give us at least some time to eat 🙂

I think there is something inside the ‘bbp style pack’ plugin.

If not, have you checked https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ ? It has not been updated recently, but it might still work.

Pascal.
