Yes, once I updated all topics and replied disappeared from the site. They seem to be available in backend but even if I hit publish again nothing gets published. This is a huge problem for me. I need to downgrade somehow? What to do? Any ideas?
Hi @johnjamesjacoby,
Thanks for the update, especially for the forums search functionality.
One question – is there any way to have the search pick up topic tags as well? Right now, it seems only to search text in the forum name, topic title, and topic content.
Thanks! and to anyone else that can help.

I can confirm @aburi’s solution for getting the Admin menus back. I went to Settings/Forums, ticked the check box for Auto Role, saved. The menus were back. I then unticked it, saved again, and they stayed. I’m guessing there is some issue with the upgrade that is causing bbPress to need it’s settings to be resaved.
Tried the same thing with bbPress Moderation. Enabled it, went to Settings/bbPress Moderation, changed a setting, saved… topics in forums were still not showing. 🙁
same here, in admin i can’t find the Forums, Topics and Replies menu.
Update to bbPress 2.3 from 2.2.4 on WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7
Thanks for the fast patch @johnjamesjacoby
@dpmcalister very strange. Once I went to Settings / Forums / and ticked the check box:
“Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”
then saved, the ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’, and ‘Replies’ admin menus showed up.
Guess this is a bug they’ll fix shortly, but for now there’s a quick fix!
Just FYI, installed on live host and worked fine, but no way on localhost!! This makes development impossible. I always develop for bbp and wp on localhost without any issues, can someone tell me what is happening, I tried to search but no success.
Thanks @dpmcalister. Does anyone know how long until the fix is released?
I wonder why such a major bug wasn’t noticed during development of 2.3. Does it have something to do with our particular install?
There’s a few of us with that issue. Just waiting on a fix.
Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the backend. I upgrade across several installs and this happened to all of them, even on the clean install with no other plugins activated.
Anyone else having this issue? and how to resolve?
Thanks,
Alex
Having problems.
Lost admin panel widget for “Forums, Topics and Replies”. Getting this cryptic message error “Cheatin’ uh?”. When trying to access Forums, Topics or Replies through “Right Now In Forums”.
Where can I get 2.24 version?
I have archive-topic.php in my theme and in that way I can have full control of how topic archive is shown. When using bbPress 2.2.4 this works like a charm but when I update to version 2.3 I basically don’t have that archive anymore.
Any pointers which way to look?
@alex-ye wordpress +bbpress +Buddypress
@trip62 @alex-ye
when I check the codes of @jezza101 ‘s website ,I find the problem 。
so I try change the codes in the chrome app ,the Developer Tools,it works.
like change http://127.0.0.1/search/ to http://127.0.0.1/forums/search/
my forum link is http://127.0.0.1/forums so add /forums before the/search/
as like http://www.nxtab.co.uk/forum/search/
so ask:how to solve this problem
(Hope understand my Chinese English)


I concur that bbpress moderation hides everything. Once deactivated, I’m seeing them just fine.
I can’t seem to find the search function everyone’s talking. Is this enabled automatically or my theme is blocking it? Help.
@realhood: It seems a strange proplem, every thing works fine for me :), can you give more informations…
Which version you update from and what is the plugins you use?
Did you try to update the permalinks settings from “Permalinks” admin screen ?
Does bbpress do everything now except private messaging? If so, I’m switching.
For people wanting to hide the new search box, add this to your theme’s CSS:
`.bbp-search-form {
display:none !important;
}`
For the admin area, after further investigation, the only reason I saw the Forums, Topics and Replies menus at all was because of my Post Calendar plugin. Once I disabled that, the Admin menus for bbPress disappeared entirely.
And I’m with @wildomains, I had to disable ‘bbPress moderation’ to get to see the posts. I want to have that plugin, so hopefully either they will update, or whatever change in bbPress broke it can be changed back.
I have the same issue as @probablynot – his second issue:
Second, since upgrading, in the Admin area, I can no longer do anything for the forums. The menu over on the left side has no items under the Forums, Topics or Replies headings.
Like @realhood, my search box always jumps back to the homepage when you query anything.
What’s up with that?
Great, thanks for the new release. Always exciting to see new bbpress updates :)! Couple of comments from me.
Search
I’ve traditionally used Google search to search across my whole site, is there an easy way to switch the new form off? It appears to be forced upon the main forum list page.
It is also not looking great on my sites main forum page, what’s the easiest way to style this, what can I add to my CSS file to change the look? See here.
Stats
For those looking, the Stats shortcode is [bbp-stats], there is also a widget. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2052
Is it possible to style the output?
Can I control which stats are shown? For example “empty tags” isn’t something I really want to boast about on my forum!
After the update I couldn’t view topic content on my site but could see it when logged into the admin part for editing. Also, I had to make each topic ‘sticky’ to see it on the forum. I removed the plugin ‘bbPress moderation’ and it was OK after that. This means that I can’t use the moderation plugin so anyone can post a reply. I want to be able to moderate each reply. Is there a solution?
Thanks
One, I would like to be able to turn off the search. Just hide it without having to muck around with making a theme for bbPress.
Second, since upgrading, in the Admin area, I can no longer do anything for the forums. The menu over on the left side has no items under the Forums, Topics or Replies headings.
Hi,
I’ve been trying numerous times to convert from vBulletin 3.8.1 to bbPress 2.3.
I get most of it converted until I get this message:
***** = database username
`WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.tagcontent’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING “utf8”) AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100`
Any ideas what it means and how to fix? I can’t get pass this step and it screws the forum up, even if I repair the forum.
and as a result, it won’t allow the users replies to transfer either.
Sorry… final line so I can subscribe to updates by email.
