Could be a theme, plugin, or WordPress/bbPress issue. You can try the plugin and theme troubleshooting listed below to see if it is only your currently active theme having the issue present. After the troubleshooting come back with some results.

Your theme author could have styled the input checkbox on only webkit browsers. I see that you are now using the default WordPress forms, which I usually recommend anyway.
Wordpress Version 4.4
bbpress Version 2.5.8
I am trying to embed just the forum content into my homepage. If I do it with an iframe it displays the header and sidebars which I do not want.
Is it possible?
Hey guys sorry to be the guy and post this I know its probably been post a milllion times. I am using the theme Shore for my Website because its just a theme that I enjoy. Bbpress & Buddypress seem to not want to work with this theme. I need a good forum and social section. I have tested by switching to 2016 themes it worked properly. I also enabled and disabled every plugin, even reverting back to early wordpress versions. Now is there anything I can do in the child theme to customize to get BBpress & buddypress working properly. I have basic knowledge of coding I did some in High School given enough time I can figure it out. Just getting pointed in the right direction would be huge.

Let me know if you need more info I want to make this easy as possible for you.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I know that some users switched to https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ because it gives more customization options.

Hi,
Have a look at the code I used for my bbP Manage Subscriptions plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/). Maybe you find in there what you need.
Bulk actions are next on the list (hopefully by mid January), but feel free to take part of the code for your own project now.

When I try to create a forum, I get the message “invalid post type.”
If I try to access the bbpress settings, it gives the error, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am the site admin, however.
I have completely removed the plug-in and reinstalled it. I had this problem with the previous version of WordPress and still with 4.4.
Any input is appreciated!
Debug log is outputting the following notice:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/path/htdocs/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3787
My debug log is running full, how can I solve this?
Hi all,
I am a newbie so I am sorry if this is an easy answer however I have not been able to find the answer or in the documentation.
I am setting up a forum on a small site and have installed bbpress. I am wondering how to remove the sidebar and add the correct sidebar for the forum options (login, register, search etc.) also is it possible to place these options above the forum? I was watching a tutorial on youtube which showed the sidebar added automatically after the install of bbpress but it may have been an older version.
I am currently using the latest wordpress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 and the esteem template. I did try to use twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen temprorarily but couldn’t add the sidebar under widgets as there was no bbpress sidebar.
Thanks,
Tom
Hi,
It is (unfortunately) correct that you cannot install plugins on wordpress.com
Pascal.
I’m a newbie, so please be kind. Is it correct that plugins (except ecommerce ones) are not available for wordpress.com sites? Is there any way to install bbpress onto a wordpress.com website?
Thanks.
Hi all, I need help. I’m very noob in “web”, but I was asked to solve this problem:
on a WordPress 4.3.1 with bbPress 2.5.8 site there is the problem shown on this pic
The three icons on the right are not shown properly. I’ve tried to analyze the problem, and I’ve noticed that for those buttons there are no corresponding classes/objects(?) in the “skin.min.css” file. Adding the missing code with Chrome editor (do not know how to call it), icons are shown, even if I can’t find corresponding “Content” for those three buttons, so I use other buttons icon just to make an attempt.
How can I solve? Are that css file static o dynamic generated? If the second one, is the following error linked with the problem?
I apologize in advance if I was not so clear.
Hi,
this issue is linked to the new WordPress, a bug has already been filed and a patch will hopefully come out soon.
For now to fix the issue (using fix 2), open wp-includes/post.php, scroll to about line 4300 to find function get_page_uri( $page )
In that function replace
if ( 'publish' === $parent->post_status ) {
with
if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( 'internal' => true ) ) ) ){

Hi Andy,
bbforums 2.5.8 ? or bbPress 2.5.8 ? 🙂
If you just use bbPress on WordPress, then you can use any plugin that is offering the social integration. I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ on one of my sites and it seems to do the job, but a lot of plugins exist for that.

Hi,
Upgraded my downgraded WP-installation to 4.4. Changed wp-includes/post.php according to the last diff file patch 35084.2.diff and it worked!
So the issue is not in bbPress but WordPress itself?
When will there be a WP update?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Ger (@lindt01)
I am using WordPress v. 4.4
Buddypess v. 2.2.0
Bbpress v. 2.5.8
Indeed, thanks for everyones input here, I was digging into things thinking it was a role/permissions error.
We’ll get this fixed and released as part of WordPress 4.4.1.
I also should have mentioned before that all of my parent & child forums are set to private.
Didn’t try a private parent and child forum structure earlier, and then I could duplicate the issue. Thanks @timsilva_ for pointing that out.
Thanks @tharsheblows for finding the issue, and creating a patch for WordPress. 🙂
Thanks. The issue was introduced in WordPress 4.4 and there’s a patch available now. Could you test it to see if it makes it work for you? https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35084
Here is a fork of that plugin mentioned above for anyone not comfortable editing files.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-auto-close-topics/
Forums do not even have pagination.
Here is a ticket for it though. Open it or add a little description of why you want it to the ticket if you want.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1997
This is not really a bbPress issue as the plugin just piggybacks off of WordPress’ core code, could be fixed server side with the explanation in the codex guide, or by using an smtp plugin though.
There may be many factors to the emails being sent to the spam folder. There are some solutions outlined in the bottom of this WordPress codex guide piece for sending the emails correctly while using the hosts.
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#E-mailed_passwords_are_not_being_received
Other common suggestions of fixing this issue is using SMTP and seing any emails on your site that way and making sure that you use an email address that has the same domain as your site.
Guys some devs and I are having a hard time duplicating this issue.
This is how I tested it and come across no issues.
WordPress: 4.4
bbPress: 2.5.8
I tried these default WordPress themes
2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016
I tried these forum structures.
Category > Forum > Forum
Category > Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Forum
Category > Private: Forum
Forum > Forum
Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Category > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Private: Forum
With the postname permalink structure (since it is most commonly used and I want to try to duplicate it)
Other things I like to ask is if this is a theme side 404 message being outputted or the normal no topics/forums found here message bbPress outputs like the one below (it could be different if you are using a different language than English for bbPress of course).
Oh bother! No topics were found here!
If you guys can help ask a few questions like the ones that @casiepa asked and these additional ones.
What is your bbPress version?
Have you already tried troubleshooting for a possible plugin/theme conflict?
Are you guys using BuddyPress groups for group forums?
Are the issues only happening on private forums? (Like @kpdub has said)
Did you try the postname permalink structure?
Another thing I may suggest to help try to gather information for the developers, is to try to duplicate the issue yourself. Try to duplicate the issue again on a local installation on your computer. If you can tell us step by step to duplicate it.
