I believe this is it

https://bbpress.org/feed/?post_type=topic/

but come back and confirm

[Robin W]

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

I used to take part in the European Tall Ships races in the 1980’s – so recognise the logo! many happy memories.

start by reading

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

Section 8 is the bit to read

Apologies if all the right info isn’t here- new to wordpress. Just installed bbpress on my site. When I view the forum directory at https://www.tallshipsamerica.org/tsaforums/ the theme is consistent with the rest of my site. When I open any of the individual forums (like https://www.tallshipsamerica.org/forums/forum/licensing/) the banner image doesn’t appear and the upper left logo overlaps the forum title. I’m looking to either have the full theme with the image, or at least move the forum title down so it fully shows.

I had the same problem but I was able to solve it.

BBpress controls the number of allowed URLs with WordPress settings.

Open WordPress settings, go to “Discussion”-> “comment moderation” item, and set the upper limit of pending URL.
If you enter a very large value, this problem will never happen again.

This idea was discovered by following in the “bbp_new_topic_handler” function.
The function called the “bbp_check_for_moderation” function, and finally used the “comment_max_links_url” filter to obtain the number of pending URLs.

ps bbpress just uses WordPress login, so they are one and the same, so login for WordPress (and your membership plugin) is login for bbpress.

and for your test user, see what bbpress role has been set in dashboard>users and edit the user, should be participant

[alexgoal]

I installed bbpress but I don’t see the “forums” item on the settings and no other category on the dash and as if it wasn’t installed.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress – so any WordPress registration will be fine – maybe theme my login

[monopohl]

Uhm well regarding your hint I found this

Register on Multisite

Seems somewhat odd to me. bbpress claims to be from the developers of WordPress and to be multisite compatible but so far it seems not to be possible to use the registration properly without creating a custom wp-signup.php or using a third party plugin?

Did I get that right?

[Robin W]

if you want anyone to be able to post, then you need to allow anonymous posting

dashboard>settings>forums and look for anonymous, but unless you really want general public posting I’d suggest not. If you do, look also at ‘bbpress notify no spam’ as another plugin.

I can’t say why the 2nd is happening – I’d suggest you set up a test user and see if they get the same issue.

then come back

[Robin W]

The recommendation is that the file goes in a directory called ‘bbpress’ in the root of your child theme.

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/xxx.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

child theme root works as well, but in ‘bbpress’ just makes it more obvious which plugin’s template you have amended

[momomoko]

Perfect dear Robin

Thank you very much

btw : did i process in the good way to modify my bbpress template ?

[riggie11]

Hi guys,

I’ve just done a new WP install & also a new bbPress install. No other plugins installed.

I then added a Forum you can see on this page.

Test55

The problem I have is:
This login form seems to prevent me from adding a topic.
The login on this form fails when I use my admin login.

How can I remove the login form from appearing & allow a topic to be created?

thanks,
Riggie

Hello, I am creating a specialized forum combining wordpress(5.4.1), bbpress(2.6.4) and buddypress(5.2.0). The website is exptoge.com. I have already created child thyme in the wp-content/themes/mytheme folder and used functions.php and style.css to make some customization. Now I need some help to personalize the forum new topic area and new reply area.

1) New topic area, as shown in Fig 1,
(please go to here to check all the figures ).
For every new topic in this forum, I wish the following text appear in the “Topic content edit area” by default: “please clearly describe the place and time duration”. Once the user click in this area to input something, those text will disappear automatically.
The google search box seems exactly demonstrate this effect as shown in Fig.2. Source of Fig 2, captured at chrome://newtab.

2) New reply area, as show in Fig.3.

For every new topic in this forum, I wish some text (e.g. “please select or input your selection” ) appear in the “Reply content edit area” and followed by a drop down selection list (similar to Fig. 4 or Fig.1 below part) by default.

The selection list is composed of two parts. The first is designed to choose a color, red, blue or others. The second is designed to choose a shape, triangle, circle or others.
If the users choose others, a new input box will appear so that they can input their other choice. Text “please input your choice” will appear in the input box with function similar to Fig. 2 (requirements of new topic area above).

After the users make a choice or enter their choice, the choice result will exactly be the reply content. But, the above “please select or input your selection” text will be updated to be “I prefer” texts.

I am not sure whether it is possible to achieve above functions through making modifications in my themes. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time and efforts. You can log in with username “Daniel” and password as “Daniel8” to test “new topic” and “new reply ” function in this website.

We have bbPress used on a website that has different groups. We need instructors to be able to post the same message in more than one forum, for each group. Right now, they’re prevented from doing that. Is there any way we can reduce the restrictions on duplicate content? This is all on a password protected site, so we don’t worry about spam.

How can I fix the dubbing of responses and topics in the activity filter in some templates in bbpress 2.6.4?

                <select id="activity-filter-by">
                    <option value="-1">— Everything —</option>

                    <option value="new_member">New Members</option>
<option value="updated_profile">Profile Updates</option>
<option value="activity_update">Updates</option>
<option value="bbp_topic_create">Topics</option>
<option value="bbp_reply_create">Replies</option>

        <option value="bbp_topic_create">Topics</option>
        <option value="bbp_reply_create">Replies</option>

                </select>

I am using the bbPress forum on my Android Blog (Droidfeats forum) but unable to get the breadcrumbs as I don’t use the Yoast Breadcrumbs feature.

I tried to search in this forum several times but unable to get any custom breadcrumbs plugin specific to bbPress forum pages.

Why I don’t use Yoast breadcrumbs is because it’s for the entire site. I don’t want breadcrumbs over the whole site’s post because it destroys my site layout and ad positioning. But I only want them on my forum pages and topics.

Is there any way to get it? Or any code to implement on Snippets?

[Chuckie]

If you look here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-bbpress-topics-with-multiple-pages/#post-12772840

It was detected that the URLs in my case were failing bbpnsn plugin. They fixed it.

But it appears that these links are out of my hands.

[monopohl]

GRAND Fla Gallery
Honeypot for Contact Form 7
Network Privacy

Wordpress, Themes and Addons are all on the latest version.

Hello everyone,,
I admit I am a “newbie” and am having a bundle of problems. I am in the process of building a website which is still offline, and am very stuck. I am using ocean wp and I don’t know how to find out the version, but everything is new in the last 2 weeks.. sorry I really am a newbie…
I am making “TheAmericanQuarterHorse.com” and wanted to make a small forum page alongside of information pages, I had to do a whole pile of deleting and rebuilding on the forum site, but now I have the basic structure!! So that is a plus, but am stuck on the login–register-lost password widget. The first time I made it, it put the menu all over the place and the login was on every page. Iwas using bbpress tweaks, so uninstalled the bbpress tweaks, and ended up re-installing. I watched a whole pile of youtube on how to do it, and went back at it. I did all the “making the page” and putting the permalinks in the widget slot in the bbpress side bar. This time I had logins on every page BUT THE FORUM PAGE!!! This is the 3rd time I have deleted everything and started over.. I am about to forget the whole thing or use a different forum widget. I am STUCK. Any ideas??
The other thing is the text is sooo thin and tiny on the forum page it is hard to see. I have heard something about css, but have no clue about what that is or how to use it..
Would really appreciate any ideas..
thanks

[Chuckie]

I was told that :

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.publictalksoftware.co.uk%2Fxxx%2F%3Ftopic%3Dthis-is-a-test%26paged%3D3%23post-5572

is not a very “pretty” link. I don’t rightly know. But how is this url created? Does bbPress format it like this?

I tried deactivating everything except bbpress and the links were still like that.

In short, is this by design?

[robertherold]

Hello guys

Thank you so much for this great plugin.
I haven’t used forums much before, so something came up when using bbPress:
I have a forum called “Teszt Fórum 1” and it shows that the last post was made 3 days and 19 hours ago by “nafems”.

When I enter this forum, it shows for the two topics that the last posts are by “drohle” and “robertherold”.

So the forum is not showing the last post, but the last topic.
Should this be the case?

[Robin W]

probably this

Hi Robin. Thanks very much for your reply. That did the trick. I had actually tried setting the Forums page (index page with all forums) “private” but had the situation that nobody could see anything..(got an Error 404) so somehow thought that it wouldn’t work in the indiv. BBPress Forums. Anyway, I have now set the individual forums to “private” and the forums page to “public” and now the list doesn’t appear when you put in the URL…You just get the page title (which I can live with).
