Installed BBPress alongside buddypress got some forums setup and assigned to buddypress groups but experienced 404 error on forum pages so ran the bbpress tools to reset.
Now everything disappeared all the forums that were created even the bbpress forum menu.

Deactivated deleted and reinstalled several times but still no change.
What am I missing? Is there a way to fix this?

I dit the trick with some CSS improvments :

width: 100px;
padding: 2px;

@media(max-width:580px) {
div#bbpress-forums {
overflow: visible !important;
}
	#bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links a,
			#bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links 
			{
				width: 100px;
				padding: 2px;
				color: grey;
			}
}

Not showing correct topics under forum not even under wp-admin

I think I found the answer maybe. https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/exporting-data/#:~:text=Log%20into%20your%20WordPress%20back%2Dend.&text=You%20will%20see%20a%20screen,the%20Download%20Export%20File%20button.

though old, this plugin still works

what is the best way to get notifications of new comments from newly resisted users to the forum?
Do I need to login each time to WordPress or should I receive an email telling me of a new comment so i can monitor. Maybe there is an app?

bbPress:Version 2.6.6
WordPress 5.5.3–ko_KR

Many thanks I will give it a try. However there is so many things that is not working properly so its starting to become a case for some freelancer site. I dont really know what I am doing 🙂

I read your guide: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

But I cant get the forum to display using method 1 in the above guide. And method 2 is the one I have done from the start but cant get to look the way i want.

If the plugin “bbp style pack” fix the design, there is still the issue with weird menus and different urls within the forum etc. Could it be that I created the forum before changing WP-theme? Could it help to remove BB-press and then reinstall it from the ground up?

Hi Robin,

Thank you for your suggestions! This plugin seems to be very helpful for Troubleshooting.

I tried both of your suggestions to no avail. Saving the permalinks didn’t change the links, and the same behavior occurs.

Disabling all plugins and reverting my Theme to Twnetytwenty allowed me to observe a “404 Not Found” error without being redirected to the home page. It seems like these links like “forums/page/2/” point to non-existing pages, and bbPress doesn’t pick up what topics should be displayed there.

Any other ideas on how can I further investigate the issue?

[Robin W]

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – that resets the permalinks

If that does not work, then 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

if within content you can use

How to filter bbpress content in WordPress

but if at the bottom of ‘bbpress’ pages, then there are a bunch of actin hooks you can link to

do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_loop' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_search_results_loop' );

should get you most of the way there

[tonygao]

hello,

I use filter “the_content” to automatically add ads at the bottom of pages, posts. But it is not working on bbpress oages(topic, etc)

[Lars Henriksen]

Hello,

I would like to use autoptimize on a site with bbpress, but aggregating Js-files breaks the bbpress editor.

By searching the forum I found this topic, but maybe more files have to be excluded in 2.6?

Does anyone here aggregate bbpress js succesfully – if so, how?

Thanks, Lars

Just installed bbpress in a site using the Divi theme and it does not show up as forum or anything under settings. Does this not work with Divi?? https://sfsuitescsa.com is the site.

[Robin W]

@winkelj first version of this that should work with gutenberg is here if you want to test :

so
1. Deactivate the existing bbpress topics for posts plugin (no need to delete it, just deactivate)
2. Go to this site http://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/bbpress-topics-for-posts-v2/ and download the new version
3. Go to dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the zipped file you downloaded in step 2
4. Activate and test.

[Chuckie]

Sorry if this has been discussed before.

The bbPress topics on my site have part of the topic descriptions as the URLs. Is it possible to change it (just for bbPress) to maybe use topic ID or something so that the URL links were not as verbose?

Just curious?

[Tina]

Yes, it is an incoming notification email from the bbPress forums.

The messed up apostrophe is in the “From” field. That’s the name of my site.

[Robin W]

sorry, there are 300,000 users of bbpress and you have found a couple of instances where users found an issue.

In one advice was to troubleshoot the problem, and the user never came back, in the other one user found that it was a wp mail plugin.

I appreciate that you ae frustrated, but ‘this same exact issue 5 and a half years ago? Is this issue still not fixed?’ is not going to endear you to the free support offered for this free product.

As a first instance, please do the troubleshooting :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

It’s over 5 years later and I just started using bbpress and I see this same exact issue…so is this a glitch or a plugin conflict?

[Tina]

I did a search on the forums for this issue and noticed someone else posted about this same exact issue 5 and a half years ago? Is this issue still not fixed? Because I just started using bbpress and noticed this issue. Notification emails are going on with all subscribers bcc’d but I can see all their emails clearly.

[Tina]

It’s 5 and a half years later and I just started using bbpress and I just noticed this same issue. Does this mean that they have never fixed this??

[Robin W]

sorry, nothing to do with bbpress plugin which is where you posted this

[bodybyloud]

I’m also using the disable Gutenberg plugin. It was causing issues with other plugin functionality before I even installed bbpress topics for posts.

[Robin W]

sorry, bbpress works on themes that comply with the some old wordpress conventions, and nowadays 90% don’t so most don’t.

No-ones fault, wordpress themes have moved on faster than worpdress 🙂

[flamuren]

Thank you very much, that plugin of yours looks really neat 🙂 But its annoying that my forum has correct theme when I click in to the forum and uses the internal bbpress links… Like its some other forumpagetheme activated depending on which url I use. Also something happens using the different links. Its not only the theme that changes but also the page it self. Seems weird to me.

[chen30]

Hi there,
I am new to bbpress and I have a unique use situation.
I would like to have the topics in a subforum hid from all users (including logged in) users until someone has posted their topic.
Is this functionality enabled by a certain plugin already?
