What happens if you try a normal WordPress theme (twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve?)
Something tells me a plugin or your theme is filtering the topics query, resulting in it returning 0 results.
this was the cause of my problem – if u do hear back from the developer or perhaps include this as standard would be great if u could update this thread
Anyone having issues with MAMP, I run MAMP Pro locally, and have used it to develop bbPress since years back. MAMP isn’t the issue, something else is, and it should not have changed between bbPress 2.2 and 2.3.
For people having issues accessing the administration area, your account needs the “Key Master” role to access the “Forums” menu, and at least “Moderator” to access “Topics and “Replies.”
- In the past, these checks were using the `is_super_admin()` function, which would default to users with the “Administrator” role on single-site installations.
- Those that have fixed it using the auto-role setting, bbPress is automatically granting Administrators the Key Master role.
- Auto-role should most likely be turned on anyways; it’s only a setting to allow site-owners the option to let other role plugins handle that instead.
People wanting to go back to using an old version of bbPress, I’d highly advise that you troubleshoot your installations and stick with 2.3. Rolling back is a temporary fix that doesn’t help track down what’s going on; when we’re willing and available to help you figure out what is going on, it’s best to take advantage of the free support instead.
@realhood I still cannot reproduce your issue using the same settings you have above or with ‘Forum Prefix’ unchecked.
This works perfectly http://127.0.0.1/search?bbp_search=test
Most are using a plugin for this and there are a few that offer similar functions so check out some of the plugins listed https://bbpress.org/plugins/
Posts aren’t “moved” between installations or versions. In fact, from any 2.2 to 2.3, there are no changes to the database at all.
@realhood What do you have set for each of these ‘Single Slugs’?

I am running the latest BBPress 2.3 and I don’t see any link for the user to be able to update their profile (i.e. avatar, signature, password, etc.). So, I want to be able to put a hyperlink in the menu or somewhere else on my wordpress site that allows the user to access this page. I have found it to reside in http://www.domain.com/forums/users/nameofuser
The problem is, I can’t figure out a way to call out the username in the url. I tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%s and that didn’t work. I am using permalinks and tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%username%/ and still nothing.
Someone please help, thank you!
There are many different issues that have been posted here in this thread, please add your specific details of your issues when you post a message, we cannot read minds 🙂
I got the same issue as well. will the fix take long to get out?
@jezza101 “Can I control which stats are shown? For example “empty tags” isn’t something I really want to boast about on my forum!”
‘Empty Tags’ are ONLY shown if you actually have empty topic tags… Essentially that is giving you a hint that you have topic tags with no associated topics so you can delete those empty topic tags.
@netweb
What do you have your permalinks set to? (‘Settings’ -> ‘Permalinks’)
http://127.0.0.1/%post_id%.html
What is the ‘Search Slug’ for bbPress set to? (‘Settings’ -> ‘Forums’ )
using it→no issues (i don’t know why ,but it works)
not using →issues
mysite=wp+bbpress+buddypress
This issue sounds semi-related to related to ticket #1478, which was fixed in 2.3.
Upgrade to 2.3 (backup first!) and see if that fixes things.
What version of bbPress are you using?
I just tested a fresh install of bbP 2.3 and WP 3.6 trunk on MAMP Pro and can’t replicate any issues.
You should see an ‘IMG’ link or Picture icon on your editor toolbar for adding links to images with bbPress 2.3.
Improved mobile support is planned for bbPress 2.4 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933
Do you use the bbPress Moderation plugin ?
Edit: I am quite sure you are using this plugin now, please disable it for now and everything should be fine. I asked the author about bbPress 2.3 compat ~2 months ago but we have not heard back from the plugin author.
Can you give us a link to your forum so we can have a closer look please.
@probablynot & @jezza101 Will hunt around and see what we can do about having a simple way to turn ‘search’ off. 😉
@docchewbacca There is no fixed timeline for ‘individual access rights’ forum permissions and all that goes with that feature and what is planned for bbPress 2.4 is still yet to be 100% decided.
it seems as though this plugin. 404 simple redirect
does not work correctly with bbpress users,
when a new user decides to click on their profile link. i.e picture or name
to go to their profile, they are redirected to the 404 page
would like to know if their is a exception to this or a quick fix?
and can anyone helpZ! please! urgently!
the link to the plugin site is here:
