I figured out the issue in the permalinks. I wanted to remove the word “Category” from the links of the posts so I found an article in WordPress support forums that I have to write a dot “.” in the field
Category base in the permalinks and it worked to remove the word category

but now I tried to remove the dot and the word category is back to the links but the issue of the bbpress is fixed. so the issue was with that “.”

How can I remove the word category from the links then without the dot?

[Robin W]

ok, not quite sure what is happening

1. are you using caching software? If so purge
2. try dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this will reset the links

if both those fail, then 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

Hello

I have installed BBpress today and I am facing an issue which is my category links are being redirected automatically to the forums section.

here is my site http://www.muninsider.com if you click on news for example it is redirecting to the news section in the forums eventhough the news section in the menu is a category that has posts in it.

anyone can help me please?

I installed bbpress in my site and followed instructions to create a new forum page from the main menu on my front page. Then I followed a tutorial to drop the log-in, register, and lost password widgets on my main sidebar that appears on every page, including the forum page. The problem I’m having is that when I test the registration from another computer, WordPress tells me that it cannot register new users? Did I do something wrong, or is it a temporary problem on WP end? I would assume I set something up wrong.

Thanks.

have you been to

Custom Capabilities

[Robin W]

bbpress hates local server !

try adding this to your function file

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress works fine with 4.8

So can you define what you mean by ‘broken’ in ‘My newly created forum became broken with the update to WP 4.8.’

Hi All

I have been putting together a site on a local server and would like to use bbPress, however when ever I click on Forums in the dashboard I get the following error:
HTTP 500 error
That’s odd… the website can’t display this page
The site may be under maintenance or could have a programming error.

Can any one please help me.

I would also like to know if you can make the forum invite only and if you are not a member you can not see anything.

Thanks for toy help,
Michael

Hi,

I am using the current wordpress version and bbpress 2.5.12. Great product. When I look through how to edit user capabilities via coding, it does not work. Maybe some of the coding is outdated as there is no capabilities.php file to edit. When I use role editing plugins, bbpress roles and functions appear but they dont apply to my website. Any ideas?

[Robin W]

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.

Oops! I think that’s the original WP code itself. Anyway, I found another code to fix in bbPress. Pls let me know if I should post it.

Hello everybody.

If this is off topic, pls help pointing me to the correct place.

This is the first time I’m working with bbPress, I’m trying to import from vBulletin now.

vBulletin = 3.8.6
bbPress = bbPress 2.5.12
WP = 4.7.5

I’ve been struggling for a few days already (I’ve also tried the 2.6-rc-3 without any luck). Just today, I found an advice to enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG so I did so and saw some error messages so I decided to look into the code and try to fix it myself.

Here’s the first one I found:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: user_pass in ...\wp\wp-includes\user.php on line 1425

Here’s the code at line 1425:

$user_pass = wp_hash_password( $userdata['user_pass'] );

Should be changed to:

$user_pass = empty($userdata['user_pass'])?wp_hash_password(''):wp_hash_password( $userdata['user_pass'] );

There’re more errors I’m trying to fix right now. Pls let me know if it’s helpful and I should post them too.

Cheers,
Tony.

Hi,

I am very new to BBpress and any coding of anything. But I have edited wordpress through trial and error.

How do I start editing changing bbpress font easily? is there a plugin I can add? Please speak in simple terms – I have looked at the guides, but they are way too complex for me – and information overload.

I just want to play with the way the forum looks – and major part of it for me is font size and font type.

Please help.

Hi,
I’m currently running bbPress 2.6-beta-2 and WordPress 4.8 (I switched to the beta because it solved an issue that I ran into earlier during development).

I’m attempting to import bbPress forum content from an old SQL database into bbPress forums using a hand-rolled Perl script that maps the exported CSV fields to the fields in wp_posts and key/value pairs in wp_postmeta.

The Results and Issue
1. On the admin Topics page, my Topic is shown connected to the correct parent forum.
2. I can also view the topic page and comment on the topic.
3. But the imported Topic doesn’t appear in the forum when displayed on the site.

Here are the fields that I’ve successfully imported data into:

FOR FORUMS wp_posts:
post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_content
post_title
post_status
post_name
post_type

FOR TOPICS wp_posts:
post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_content
post_title
post_status
post_name
post_type
post_parent

FOR TOPICS wp_postmeta:
_bbp_forum_id
_bbp_topic_id

When I update the Topic and the forum, WordPress creates additional meta_keys/values for each entry, but the Topic still doesn’t appear in the forum.

Questions: Are there other meta-keys/values I need in wp_postmeta, or any other key/values in any other table to get the Topic to appear? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Angela

WordPress version 4.8
bbPress version 2.5.12
Site URI: Localhost (I can create a temp vpn tunnel to the site if needed.)

Hi,

I am confused about the following setup and theme page template/bbPress weirdness.

I have installed bbPress and set the forum root to “support” and saved changes.
Then I created a page with the exact same name “support“. The slug matches the page name and reads: www.mysite/support/
In this page I have added the bbpress short code [bbp-forum-index]

With the current theme I have the option to choose a page template with or without a sidebar. When I set the page template to “sidebar“, the sidebar does NOT display.

When I change the “forum root” from “support” to “forums” and leave the page name and template choice as is, the sidebar does display.

The same applies when I do not change the Forum root and leave it as “support“, but I remove the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. The page “support” does show the sidebar.

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong with either setting the Forum root slug and the page name to the exact same; “support“.

Maybe this is not possible and leads to url/permalink confusion in WP/bbPress and it instead uses the “standard” page template (which doesn’t utilises any sidebars in the current theme I am using.)

In the end what I would like to see is the following (if possible at all.);

When you visit the site’s support page the url/slug read: www.mysite.com/support/
The page title matches the slug: “Support” and it uses the sidebar page template.

In this page the support questions are shown by freshness and the breadcrumb actually displays “home >> support“, not “home >> forums“.

Thanks in advance for any help in explaining the Forum root and page name scheme/setup.

Hi,
I have a blank white page when I click on the ‘All Forums’ link in the Dashboard.

Im running WP on a mac with MAMP Pro. I have created a new WP site and the problem still happens when I install bbPress. All other links in Dashboard seem to work.

Help!!!

The conflict was with the bbp toolkit plugin. Thanks a lot! By the way, is there a way to show the bbpress search form in all bbpress pages (forum, topic, reply)?

(not interested in placing bbpress search widget in the sidebar)

[timsilva_]

@michaelachung This is an excellent plugin that has a list/counter of online users: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

Could be theme or plugin affecting this

My bbpress looks like this: Screenshot
I thought there should be topic and reply counters in brackets beside subforums. Also, the subforums were supposed to be seprarated by Comma(,)……
Am I missing something?

[netixel]

Thank you @robin-w, sad that BBpress does not offer it of origin…

Thank you @pinkishhue, but this plugin tested up to : WordPress 4.0.18
now the wordpress version is 4.8…

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so you can display the number of wordpress users online

eg

WP-UserOnline

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-show-real-time-online-users-in-wordpress/

but as to how many are in a forum, I don’t know of anything that would be clever enough to do that

[ScottyChoc]

WordPress version 4.8
Genesis Theme version 2.5.2
bbPress version: 2.5.12
Site URL: http://staging.c-rad.org/

My site has a members section for which all of the pages in it have a template applied to it with this simple logic:

	if ( ! is_user_logged_in()) {
		wp_login_form();
		return;
	} else {
		// add the members only sidebar and show the content
	}

Is it possible to install bbPress such that I can apply this template logic to all forum pages?

I also want all forum pages to exist under a parent page. e.g. c-rad.org/members/forums.

I can place my forum there (c-rad.org/members/my-forum) using a shortcode, but then all other forum pages go to their default locations (c-rad.org/topic/my-topic).

I tried changing the Forum Root to ‘members’, but then when I visit that page, the page template with my logic is removed.
