it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

[Robin W]

yes, but as far as I can see the activation of their account is not part of bbpress.

perhaps we can proceed further by three things.

1. give me the url of the registration on your site
2. tell me how you ‘changed the url for my administration login to hide from hackers’
3. list the plugins yo are using on your site

[chaosfranklin]

This page is from bbpress. “your account is activatde” page appears after a new user completes the activation of his or her account.

bbbpress style pack is also not correcting the direction of login failures.

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have a ‘your account is activated’ page – something in WordPress is doing this, not bbpress.

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll see

		<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

change this to

<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
		

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>
			
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			

		<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
		
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

and save

then 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/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, and the topic form will now appear before the forums

Hello,

I have installed bbpress on my WordPress website. I have created 4 categories in the main forum, but when I click on the categories, topics do not show on the category. Each category has more than 4 threads.

I saved permalinks too, but it did not work.

Hi all,
I’ve seen this issue in the forum but I haven’t found a solution that works yet.

I have exported and imported my forum, topics, replies, and users using the WP import / export functionality. Everything appears in the admin but only the forums appear on the site…not the topics and replies.

If I manually update a topic in the admin, it appears on the site.

All of the replies say “mismatch” under the Forum column…even the ones that have a Forum listed in the same column.

I have tried switching to the TwentyTwenty theme but this didn’t fix it. I also tried the repairs in the forum tools but that didn’t work either. And also tried the permalink refresh that someone suggested. No luck.

WP version 5.4.2
bbPress version 2.6.5
Theme Beaver Builder

bbpress uses the url for the admin (me) for members to login after they activate their accounts. The page says “Your account is activated”. The page has a link that says LOG IN, and that link is to the admin’s url.

It also goes to the admin’s url if the person types the incorrect username or password.

All users are set to be participants under forum’s roles.

[Robin W]

see

URL/Permalinks on topics

[Robin W]

there is no separate bbpress login. If you login using WordPress on first login bbpress will allocate the role that you have set in

dashboard>settings>forums>roles.

so bbpress does not use a url for login.

so when you say ‘ However, bbpress is using this url for members to login. ‘ where are you seeing this ?

[chaosfranklin]

I am sorry. May you please explain what you just said? I am lost. I am not an expert in coding. I don’t seen an option or label for bbpress login.

[Robin W]

Viewing a single topic
if (bbp_is_single_topic()) {...
and or

Check if current page is a bbPress topic
bbp_is_topic()

and also
Check if we are viewing a topic archive.
bbp_is_topic_archive()

and
Check if current page is a topic edit page
bbp_is_topic_edit()

[nayanboost]

I want to know how can I check if I am on a Bbpress topic page?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if you’ve changed the url, just use any WordPress login and ignore the bbpress one.

[chaosfranklin]

Hello everyone,

I am having a bit of trouble with the login for my forums with bbpress. Users cannot log into the forums. I think the source of the problem is my security. I am changed the url for my administration login to hide from hackers. However, bbpress is using this url for members to login. This presents two problems. First, users cannot login. Second, users see the hidden url that they should not see.

Is there anyway to change the login url for users(subscribers) under bbpress’s settings?

[josh.grisdale]

Hello,

My website uses Roboto as the main font but the topic/reply editor in bbPress seems to use Georgia…

Is there a way to change the font?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

my firewall software doesn’t like your site

try

#bbpress-forums blockquote {
	color: blue !important;
}

[Robin W]

easiest way is to use

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[cmsplay]

Users at our site have all said that they are happy to receive email notifications.

Is there a way to set all users to ‘Subscribe’ to a Forum at bbPress?

Thank you.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so you just need a plugin or code that does that for WordPress

there are several and I have not tried any, but

or if you are into coding

Hello,

I have a woocommerce marketplace site at xyz.domain.com and have created a bbpress site at abc.domain.com. There are various user roles on the woocommerce site (eg. Customers and Vendors). I am trying to create a Vendor forum site using bbpress at abc.domain.com such that when a Vendor account has been created and approved, they will also be able to access the bbpress site at the other subdomain address.

Can anyone let me know how this can be done?

[Robert]

Hello, if someone can help me figure out how to change the bbpress blockquote text color I would appreciate it. Currently it is yellow (see attachment)…

[renatoscarvalho]

Hi, I’m having a problem with threaded replies. When I try to reply a post, instead of the new post being nested, it creates a new post at the same level of the previous.

I have tried two bbPress installs, with different themes, and they both show the same problem.

I have also tried installing bbp Style Pack and checking “bbPress Bug Fixes/Fix Threaded Replies Jump” with no success.

You can try here and see the problem: rescola.com.br/bbpresstest02/index.php/forums/topic/hi-this-is-a-forum

[PvK2020]

Hi,

I’m using Buddypress together with BBpress. I’ve an issue and I’m hoping someone can help me with it.

When I (or someone else) create a new Buddypress-group on my website, I always choose to make a new group-forum. These forums have no ‘sub/child-forums’ by default. If you want there to be ‘sub/child-forums’ you should make them all by hand. I’ve around 60 groups (and counting), so you understand it’s a LOT of work if you want all the group-forums to have the same (same names, different private forums) sub-forums. Plus, I want my moderators to have the possibility to create groups (with a standard forum) and I can’t be there all the time to immidiatly make the sub-forums (including the right subtext and forum-image).

So, is there an option to make some ‘default sub forums’ (with image and subtext) that ALWAYS automatically ‘ll be created when you make a new group with forum? So for example: the default forums are ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. I make a new group called ‘Group 1’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray! It has 3 brandnew subforums: ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. Only viewable for the group-members.

After that, I create a second group, called ‘Group 2’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray again! It had 3 brandnew subforums (so, not the same forums you see in the group 1 forum), only viewable for group 2-members.

Can someone help me with this? 🙂

[Robin W]

this is one of the good and bad things about WordPress plugins.

It is good that they warn you that plugins have not been updated for a long period.

It is bad that it puts people off using perfectly good plugins because the author has had the goodness to release for free useful code to the world, but does not have the time or wish to be involved in supporting it.

But a well written plugin rarely needs changing if it does all that is required.

And since moderation tools hooks to bbpress functions that are long standing and stable, there are no issues I know with this plugin and I suspect it will work for years to come. If it breaks though minor issues, I’d clone it and re-issue.

You can sort of consider the warning a bit like a warranty. You don’t stop using the dishwasher because the year long warranty has run out, you just accept that maybe one day in the future it will stop working. When it does, then you may need to stop using it, but you do not go back to hand washing your dishes just because the warranty has run out on the dishwasher 🙂

If moderation tools stops working, you are no worse off than now. so if you use it for a while and it makes life easier, then that is a bonus.
