Hi all,
Thanks for your participation. It was a very first gathering and of course it was a bit hectic.
Like always everybody wants to have his saying and a more detailed agenda needs to be set so things can get a bit more structured.
But please continue to spread the word that we are focusing on Core to get GDPR compliant and will try to create hooks or new functions where applicable so plugins like bbPress can follow.
Found the problem. Looks like it was caused by a plugin conflict between bbpress and Membership2 PRO. No problems with the free version of Membership2, but switching to the PRO version made it so initial topic posts did not show, only existing replies.
Temporary solution: I backed out of using Membership2 PRO for now and I’ll go bug WPMU-Dev support to see what they suggest I do.
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your quick response.
I’ve linked three screen shots below to show what’s different from a successful class in January, and the current class (Regency Post) and the one scheduled to start on Saturday (British Officer).
In this first screenshot of a topic posted in January, you can see that everything is showing up as expected:
TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
Then comes the topic container with the columns listed and below that the topic’s datestamp and mod menu, then author’s Gravatar, Name, and the content of the topic posted. Any replies follow the topic content as expected.

From a forum topic posted earlier this week that has replies:
TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
Then the next thing that’s show are the replies that would normally follow the topic content. Notice there is no topic container or mod menu and everything from the original topic post is missing. The topic content IS in the database as I got it in email just fine using the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin which I just added in this afternoon and it’s visible from the admin side when the topic is edited there.

From a forum topic posted earlier today that has no replies:
Again, TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
But since there are no replies there is no topic container or mod menu or any of the topic content and only the reply box shows.
https://www.kristenkoster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-14-at-4.30.42-PM.png
So obviously it looks like I’ve managed to zap some lines that pull that information into the generated page, but for the life of me, I don’t know where to start looking to find it to fix it again.
Thanks! -Kristen
WP: 4.9.4
bbpress Version 2.5.14
Same behavior in a customized Suffusion theme and as the Twenty-twelve theme.
Fairly new bbpress user here, so be gentle.
Any topic started after a certain date is NOT showing the topic contents, only that of replies. The content is showing perfectly fine if the topic is edited from the admin side. I’ve reinstalled the plugin thinking it was something I did when trying to make the SUBSCRIBE link at the top of forums visible instead of scrunched up against the rest of the breadcrumbs as it appeared in our Suffusion theme.
New topics posted behave this way, but older topics posted prior to that date are fine. We’re in the middle of a paid workshop on this forum and about to start another. So if anyone has any idea what I’ve done and where to look to undo it, it’d be greatly appreciated!
however when I went to bbpress styler and that settings, they only have a login and register and no password reset.. and NO profile that I can see
‘register’ changes to profile if you are logged in – as you can have a profile if you are not logged in, and you wouldn’t want to register if you are logged in !!
and from profile you get password reset
Well I am starting to make some headway ! I have only been fighting with this for several weeks…
I found out how to order the forum page by going to –all forums- opening each one- hitting edit- and going to the right hand side and changing the number below the attributes in 123 etc order.
However With the font size I have had some problems even with bbpress styler, it don’t really seem to get much large even when changing the numbers… Any thoughts?
Also I was going to try to make a login with the bbpress styler, because I have had sooooo many problems with the bbpress login widget.
however when I went to bbpress styler and that settings, they only have a login and register and no password reset.. and NO profile that I can see
The comments on the page say that any WP login widget will work..
So wondered if anyone out there had any good plugins for the login register-password reset.
Also, Can one put the login -register-password reset on the MAIN forum page only, as the rest of the site I want open to who ever wants to stop by..
Oh one other thing, Some people join Buddy press with bbpress to get the member section.
Would that be on a different page than the forum??
I am full of questions even though I have spent sooo many hours watching youtubes trying to figure things out–My internet data isn’t smiling though–LOL
thanks for any thoughts
1.404 issue
The link looks good, suggest you try
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back

I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?
yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies
beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look

Hello bbpress community,
Please help me overcome the first hurdles with bbpress.
re. user profile 404
I have followed the install guide for bbpress. Everything seems to work fine except the click on a user picture/link (other than my admin picture/link) leads to 404.
The site is live on
Leadership resources
On this topic, for example, the participant answering with a Gravatar picture cannot be accessed. (I have a plugin installed that redirects all 404 to the homepage which is what happens here.)
I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?
Re. An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies
There is a community that I like particularly:
https://www.managementexchange.com/
What I like here is:
1. It’s topic based – the new does not crowd out the excellent.
2. The case studies can be ranked by likes and comments. Along with a large user image and name this gives credit to the contributors.
3. Title and tags show what it is about.
4. Clicking on the topics leads to comprehensive organization case studies.
Can I realize something similar with bbpress?
I know this example community allows for front end posting from a form that prompts to comprehensive answers, but I hope I can offer an initial community with bbpress before going for a more complex solution.
What I have not found in bbpress out of the box is likes, or a sorting of topics.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Nicole
No dice with bbPress 2.6-beta-2 either 🙁
No biggie – I’ll just rollback and get it done. I like where it is heading with all the additional info though
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.id’ in ‘field list’]

Starting Conversion
I want to change the default so that all new users are subscribed to all forums by default. I have seen some replies to this question which say it can be set on group admin pages, but I can’t see any way on the BBPress settings to create groups, and I cant find any plugins to add the functionality. What am I doing wrong?
I’m running WordPress 4.9.4 with Twenty Seventeen Child Theme, and bbPress 2.5.14
Actually…. the solution above wasn’t going to work because if breadcrumbs are enabled and someone clicks on the “Forum Home”, we lose all the effort. However, I finally found the conditional statement that works.
This is only part of my code, but you can get the idea…I originally had this:
// For Jetpack Portfolio heading
elseif (is_post_type_archive()) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'WordPress Themes', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
// For bbpress forum heading
elseif (is_bbpress('forum')) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'Support Forum', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
However, when I did this, it worked:
// For bbpress forum heading
elseif (is_bbpress('forum') || is_post_type_archive('forum') ) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'Support Forum', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
// For Jetpack Portfolio heading
elseif (is_post_type_archive()) :
echo '<h1 id="bts-page-title">' . __( 'WordPress Themes', 'bts' ) . '</h1>';
Now what is interesting, is that if I have the bbpress conditional “after” the Jetpack portfolio one, it would not work and the bbpress heading would be “WordPress Themes”. However, I had this sudden thought that perhaps there is a priority happening here, so I moved the bbpress conditional “before” the Jetpack one, and sure enough it works. The bbpress heading is “Support Forum” and the Jetpack portfolio is “WordPress Themes”.
Something about the sequence caused an issue…what and why I do not know.
Ah….found a fix for the above/last reply. I added the id of the page, so now the custom-bbpress.css only loads for bbpress and that page.
if (is_bbpress() || is_page( 209 ) ) :
Update: I had this in my functions:
if ( is_bbpress()) {
….etc.
But adding:
is_page()
Means that the custom-bbpress.css is going to load on all “pages”. A temporary solution, but not really the right solution.
Not quite what I was looking for in way of “conditionals” but I have to admit your method (albeit unconventional) worked like a charm, although my custom CSS for bbpress is not inherited. I will need to see about fixing the custom css styles.
Anyway, thanks.
I am using divi theme, I want to remove the default sidebar in forums page, so I create a new page name “forums”, and add some module and bbpress shortcode in it, but the forums page always look the same with default.

Since I was helping a friend convert a phpbb2 board to phpbb3 I thought I’d take the time to also import the forums into bbpress (my preference).
I initially tried the import but could not get it to work and after looking on the forums saw that I was not alone.
To get the import to work I had to remap some fields in the phpbb conversion script and comment out some obsolete ones (took about 30 minutes.
If anyone needs to get your PHPBB3 users and forums converted in BBPress you can replace the phpBB.php file in wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\converters to match the following updated code: https://gist.github.com/pixelnated/a7a9c41154cf64696ddd1c2e4f4327ed
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
I am using bbPress Email Notifications and bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
I did a forum login. For me it’s work well but if anyone want to register after he/she give her name and email the page want username and password from the user. Where can i turn this function off? because they can’t register because of this..
(BBpress forum)
Here is my page to see the problem: https://hyperracingleague.hu/

Then, now :
1/ I think this is because i’ve installed bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, but i need this for uploading new media… 🙁
2/ Yes, tell me what can i do… 🙂
3/ Done ! Thank you ! I’ve installed your plugin. 😉
4/ I think this is a too little for texte + avatar.
How can i do now ?
Hope to read you soon…
1. As a test deactivate that plugin and see if it works without. If so re-enable and contact that plugins author
2. for the forum list
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
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so change line 68
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
amend 14 to whatever size you want
3. glad you like it
4. without knowing exactly what you want, I cannot suggest css changes – I suspect we will not fix this one
Hello,
I ask your comprehension, I’m not fluent in english (I’m french). I’ll try to explain myself the best way I can.
I’m using BBpress and I want to display categories in the normal/usual way in my index forums : Categories separating forums and forums forming lines in the index. Actually, categories display like forums and forums display like subforums : https://operationarcheo.fr/forum/
I want to have categories separating forums like this : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1icL0s-0vcRuPvX4uVNyluI_INMepC0-G/view?usp=sharing
I’m searching the simplest way to do this. Please consider that I’m not developper and also have difficulties to use english documentation.
Thank’s,
Mathieu
PS :
– Theme : Customizr free version
– WordPress version : 4.9.4
– BBpress version : 2.5.14
