In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.
install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display
and you will be able to enter translations there
ok, so you are not seeing topic, replies and forums in the dashboard with just bbpress active and a default theme such as twenty twenty – yes ?
ok, can you see what bbpress level you are
dashboard>users>and select yourself – you should show as ‘keymaster’ to see the dashboard items
I used the troubleshooting and I only enabled bbPress which again did not show the links in the dashboard.
bbpress just uses wordpress.
I’d suggest 2 things
1. test using an email tester eg
WP Test Email
2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
Hi,
I installed 2.6.6 on a site running WP 5.7.2. The site is https://www.vsjf.org/.
After activation, I see nothing in the Dashboard, I also see nothing under Settings nor Tools. It’s as if I never installed it.
I’ve never really seen anything like this with a plugin.
I did check the front-end, and the stylesheet for bbpress is loading in my header.
Has anyone experience this before?
bbpress just uses wordpress login, so anything that works for wordpress will also work for bbpress
Hi,
I’m testing my new website and found a problem with user registration. When a new user registers (in this case myself using a different email address), the verification email isn’t being send to the user.
I, as an admin receive the email that the user x is registered.
Wondering what could cause this issue? and is there any known fix for this?
Hi,
I have restricted access to wp-login.php using IP address filtering from htaccess file. Is there a way to have two separate login URLs (php login files) one for admins and a custom URLs for non-admins? If not, I have to remove the IP filtering from my htaccess file.
I noticed that the custom login URL I created for bbPress still uses the wp-login.php.
The reason I asked Robin W. that question is because if the bbPress Login Widget has more than the following three options
- Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
- Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
- Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.
then I might be missing out on too much to use a different Login Widget instead, and therefore I should try harder to figure out how to use the bbPress Login Widget, even though I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use it for a very long time.
I’m not a bbpress author, but many find the widget useful
Thank you, Robin W.
I’m curious why (if anything that works for WordPress registration will work for bbPress forum registration) the bbPress Login Widget was made.
Hello,
sorry for my english, i’m french.
I have bbpress 5.1.2.
I need to disable the possibility to post a topic outside of a child forum.
How can I do that ?
thanks
Caroline
bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.
Do we have to select the bbPress template page for User Register? A page said that this can be done by clicking on the drop-down Template menu on the right hand section of the screen and selecting bbPress – User Register. But, I couldn’t find that either.
purplep’s instructions are for version 1 of bbpress which was 7 years ago
Hey all,
Using bbPress version: 2.6.5
I have an odd issue where the audio drops out within the block after I upload.
It works initially, then often about 5-10 minutes after upload the audio shows up as 0.00 seconds on site.
To fix it, I have to keep the WordPress page open and update the story.
From there it locks in and doesn’t drop out.
It’s very frustrating as it happens every single time.
Help much appreciated! Thanks
Maybe I should have also mentioned that, when I use the bbPress register form, no new users are created.
Maybe I should have mentioned that the register form is from a bbPress widget.
you would I think do better amending the files that display the forum
the hierarchy for these is
SINGLE FORUM
bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-forum.php
lists sub forums (if needed) using loop-forums.php
calls
loop-topics.php
calls
form topic.php
bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-topics.php
does topic list headers
calls loop-single-topic.php
bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php
lists each topic in the forum, last post and freshness
lists topic content.php
My standard text for how to amend bbpress template files is below with loop-single-reply.php as an example
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
After installing bbpress I have a set of forums.
Every forum is presented using a php template in my child theme.
The php template has the filename bbpress.php.
I’d like to create a php template that applies *just* to the individual forum pages. Not the forum topics or singles. Or anything else.
I’ve been looking at this:
Template hierarchy in detail
The heirarchy seems to suggest that you can use ‘single-[forum].php’, which suggests that ‘[forum]’ needs to be substituted with the name of the forum.
… which is great. But I want one template to be applied to all forum singles and nothing else.
Just to test, I copied my existing bbress.php to a file called ‘single-forum.php’.
bbpress did pick this up and use it for my forum singles.
But the page didn’t present the actual forum. Where the forum should have been, there was just empty space.
So… how do I create a template that gets applied to all forums and nothing else?
@gillian0606,
There’s a similar conversation going on here that you might be interested in:
