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)

@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

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

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?

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…

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.

I’ve disabled all of the un-related plugins, still same behavior.

All of my plugins are at the latest version, running the latest version of wordpress as of July 1, 2017.

Plugins that are active:
bbPress Version 2.5.12
bbPress Messages Version 2.0.7

Currently disabled:
gd bbPress Version 2.4

@robin-w I applied your CSS code for root and forum and it works well. But the top part of the box is missing. I tried to ‘fix’ the button so it’s whole, but I’m unable. I tried many different CSS lines, including the following, and none worked.

Can you please tell me how to make the button so it’s complete?

I don’t have a live site with bbPress. It’s only on my localhost mirror for now, until I get it all setup the way I want.

Maybe BuddyPress can do this, it can for sure created groups for you and group forums for those groups, as to attachments in those topics I’m not sure what plugins are out there for this but I’d expect any attachment plugin that works with groups of users and bbPress topics should protect those attachments from unauthorised viewing.

I think you should contact the plugin author of the plugin you are using now to facilitate this functionality, I’m quite sure they’ll be grateful for being informed that there plugin is not working as expected, you might even get lucky and the author fixes the plugin so it does protect those attachments 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve no idea what that plugin is, I suspect however though that this will be an issue with that plugin, if that plugin is “leaking” sensitive information from within a “protected” topic that this plugin “protects” from Google then this will be an issue for that plugin and not bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress doesn’t include any “groups” functionality out of the box, groups functionality is typically added by way of plugins of which BuddyPress is one such plugin.

So are you using a plugin to add “groups” functionality to bbPress, if so which one?

If not, could you explain how you are grouping and how you are protecting those topics from Google in the first place please.

[samisraeli]

Hi Stephen, We don’t have buddypress we have bbpress.

[Stephen Edgar]

For sure there will be issues for sure with bbPress and ~2000 forums, it wasn’t designed for this many forums, it’s also more often than not not a good idea to have this many forums.

Categorising the forums into a more hierarchical layout is usually far more friendly for admins, mods, and users. For example break down the UK to England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, then further break them down, under Scotland you’d have Aberdeenshire, Dumfries and Galloway and so on….

I want to know if there is a plugin or a simple way to let new people to write at the Bbpress forum I have without delivery of data about them or else. I want the people can start writing right at the moment they arrive, with or without email.

I could use, maybe, an aproval method to stop spam or bots, but I want that people who might not have electronic knowledge could write and tell me what they wanted to tell.

Is this possible? Thanks for your time.

Hi there,

May I ask you, after installing bbPress everything went according to plan.
The login and the register button’s appeared on the left top hand side of the screen but the register button does not open the page I had in mind to register.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the file containing this register button?
Is it somewhere in a php file in he root of the side or do I have to look elsewhere?
I do not have a clue. And after finding it could you tell me how to activate it?
Thanks in advance

Thijs

I’ve searched the support forums but haven’t been able to find a real answer for this. I’ve inherited a private site that I am completely tearing down and rebuilding, including removing all the users who may or may not be returning. We are using bbPress for our forums, and all the data on the forums is important. I desperately need to keep all posts that are currently there.

Now, I keep seeing that if I go to “remove user” I will get an option to change the attributing author of blog and forum posts to another account, but I am not getting that option even for those with forum content. The only option I am having is to remove.

Is there any way, any plugin, that I can use to change the forum authors (no one has any blog posts on this site except admins), or any other method I can use to retain those forum posts?

I am unable to move forward with the site build until I can figure this out. Thank you for all your help!

[lrmo]

I had only thought that this is perhaps a bug, or I did not see a setting. I then started with the adjustments, only I have determined, the adjustments take no end …

There are so many things missing – and so much code which must be added to make it “usable”.

The worst is the lack of proper moderation and the fast possibility to delete spam, as well as a fast support possibility. It is unfortunately not optimal always to be afraid I need help or not. Here is perhaps a payment support for bbpress optimal, which provides quick help.

That is why I have now decided to use Xenforo, which is good with Xenword in WordPress. Does not work with Buddypress, but this is not so bad.

Thanks for that I received at all from someone an answer 😉
And I know that the support does this in his spare time, so as I mentioned above perhaps a payment support set up!

@aminazadi There is a plugin for ajax replies:

https://github.com/aliso/bbpress-ajax-replies

And a plugin for ‘load more’ topics, if that’s the sort of thing you mean:

bbpress-loadmore-topics

Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

@sgirldesigns Install buddypress, this works alongside bbpress and provides a member list (and a lot of other features you can turn on or off).

Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

@ruperty There are a bunch of converters built in to bbpress but I don’t think they would suit your needs for an old mailing list, they seem to be for specific forum softwares.

I’d use a CSV importer plugin as that’s nice and simple (maybe too simple for you?). Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

@scottm-ldg Install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, that allows you to specify a different number of topics in the shortcode:

bbp additional shortcodes

Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

You could install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, then use that to display just one topic

bbp additional shortcodes

Then use ‘do shortcode’ if you want to place this in a template file, like:

// Use shortcodes in form like Landing Page Template.
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-display-topic-index show='1']' ); ?>

I think that should work for you.

@balloonsc

I can confirm your widget issue. I’ve created at ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3123.

You can follow the progress there.
