I managed to reinstate the forums by deleting and reinstalling plugins in a particular order. It didn’t seem to work if they were installed or updated in a different order even if the end installed-active list was the same. I’m running genesis theme with a child theme and the issue started with upgrading to WP 4.7.
Here is what I did which solved it, I do not know why (unfortunately):
1. using ftp, I overwrote bbPress plugin with an old version dated 5/6/2015
2. in the wp-admin area, under plugins, update the plugin to the current one
3. in the wp-admin area, search for, find, install and activate the plugin ‘User Role Editor’. then the ‘Forums, Topics, Replies’ appeared in the sidebar of the dashboard
4. then I could open tools/forums and could see the forum-fixing items here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/tools/repair-forums/
5. magically all seems to work now

Oh well I give up for now. I can live without any bbPress backend menus since everything works fine on the frontend. I’ll probably look at this some other day. 😉

Hi, for the record I have now uninstalled every plug in and tried the 2012 them approach, but have not been able to get bbpress going under either circumstance.

Curiously, I also tried a different bulletin board plugin, and while their console did appear in the menu, their forums did not.

Any leads?

Ive deactivated bbpress and all the other plugin once and reactivated again but forums doesnt appear , why?

please look at it it gives page not found error:

@vcgs – All the bbPress backend menus disappeared again after I refreshed the Dashboard backend for the first time after creating the new administrator/keymaster user account. So that must mean the usermeta data is being updated somewhere “after the fact” and that is the root cause of the problem. Very Rough General Example: If WP version is X then update Y usermeta data. At least I know exactly where I should be looking. So thanks for that. 😉

Hello,

Im working on a bbpress forum meant for businesses. I’d like to add a “company” field to the registration which input should show up on the bbpress profile page.

I’ve been looking all over the place but cant find a solution. I found some simular problems but none are the same, or without answer. I did find some plugins which can takeover the login proces (like ultimate member) but none who can do what i want: add a custom field and show its input on the profile page.

My theme is:Dynamix
bbpress version: 2.5.11

Anyone who had the same problem?

[Helmuts]

ran the wp update – never had your problems.

my problem was: couldn’t see the forums in wp-admin and that was sorted by installing simple plugin “User Role Editor” as suggested here by Cydrop: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-forums-tab-in-wordpress-dashboard/#post-140838

HI,

I used to have this code in my forum to make it full-width.

/* Hide SideBar in bbPress Profiles and Topics*/
function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

Is there a way to apply full-width only for Forums and Topics (opened)?

Thanks,

[AITpro]

Wierd and wierder. Somehow WP wanted to use the 2017 theme and killed the site. When I went forward to 4.7 the 2017 theme was activated, but at least the site was loading again. Switched back to my theme and the site still loads. So I guess I have to live without bbPress menus until I can figure out what is wrong. 😉

Hey guys,
I have the most current version of bbPress installed: 2.5.11
Just installed WordPress 4.7
These Top Level menus are not being displayed due to a “capabilities” issue. Forums, Topic and Replies. ie I do not have sufficient permissions to view those menus or any bbPress menus anywhere.

If I go to the WP Dashboard and click links in the metabox I see this error: Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type. I will be looking at forums/capabilities.php and other capabilities.php files to see if I can figure this out, but just wanted to give you a Heads Up about this. Of course this could be isolated to my sites. I deactivated all other plugins and the same issue is still occurring. So it does appear to be an issue directly with bbPress capabilities.

Hi,

I use ZotPress reference manager and the WP plugin. I would like to include the Zotpress plugin’s functionality for searching for the references I have already recorded in Zotpress and then insert them into my topic.

I am just looking how to modify the topic post template in bbpress so that it shows this plugin interface for Zotpress.

I have looked on the forum how to do this, but I cannot find how the bbpress template inserts the plugin interface for other plugins. This plugin’s reference insertion interface shows up in the standard worpress new blog template page fine. I would like to do the same for bbpress topic post template.

I used wordpress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.11. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on this. Our site is trying to gain a functionality on its forums in which members can subscribe to specific sub-forums (in addition to topics). Maybe I’m incorrect, but it seems like bbpress offers this but whenever I create the sub-forums I don’t see the “Favorite/Subscribe”options in the top right. Any thoughts on how to add this for individuals sub-forum levels?

Here’s an example: on the following page direct scheduling is a sub-forums that I would like to add the functionality to. ideally, if a user registers they will receive an email notification whenever a new topic is created in this specific sub-forum only.

Hello,

I’ve tried to get the forum layout from my website from the standard layout to the bbp-style-pack alternate template layout. Because it didn’t work within the plugin i replied to a topic already started by someone and got in a conversation with @robin-w (see topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-style-setup/).

After trying a lot of things nothing worked and i’m still trying to get this working. I’ve put the loop-forums.php in my theme directory, changed it in the editor within WordPress but nothing changed. And this make me concern that something is not right. How is it possible that changes made to this copy of loop-forums.php are not showing?

Is there anyone that can help me out with the layout and with the fact that the edits to the php file are not showing?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi! We have bbpress installed on a relatively large wpengine-hosted wordpress site. Suddenly, about a week ago, all pages started redirecting back to the homepage. Annoyingly, changing the permalink settings back to “Plain” fixes the issue, but that kills our SEO and breaks all hardcoded links back to our forum. We’ve set it to Plain on our production site temporarily, but need Postname permalinks to work again. On our staging site, you can see how any page does a 301 redirect back to the homepage (example: http://fiverrforum.staging.wpengine.com/categories/welcome/community-rules-guidelines). Wpengine support says that our htaccess files look good and are standard, and insist the problem lies with bbpress. They’re adamant the problem relates to a setting within bbpress or with how bbpress is handling permalinks. I’ve tried disabling plugins to see if it’s a conflict of some sort, and the issue persists. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

the probleme with changing my theme is that i did a lot of work on my theme i can’t afford to redo the work .
is there any solution to this probleme without changing the theme ?
thank you

[akgt]

another minor update, using the latest files uploaded yesterday directly into the patent theme, things work better, still needs some updates but works better,

Maybe you have your bbpress setup slightly different, what are you bbpress settings ?

user settings wont work with buddypress active in this theme.
it changes url forums/users/Adam/ to members/Adam/edit/

also doing this make not difference.

Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>
try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.

try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.

– this did not work and im not sure what you mean by this Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>

also im not using a default theme but everything else works the same as a default theme, in the basic bbpress theme.

It look like the authors off BBpress ignore an very big problem that the performance goes bad on big forums.
They can’t test this, because they have no big testforum, so they think BBpress is fast enough, but it isn’t

PLEASE PUT YOUR TIME IN THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WILL MAKE BBPRESS GROW.

Hello –

I’ve created a copy of bbpress.css in my child theme’s folder, but edits to this file don’t seem to be taking precedence over the child theme’s css file. Possibly something to do with the enqueue function in the child theme’s functions file, but I don’t know enough about that to check that.

I’m using WP version 4.6.1, bbPress version 2.5.11 and a custom child theme. The site’s forum page is here: http://www.amersa.org/forums.

The child theme functions file includes this function:

if (!function_exists(‘inspiry_enqueue_child_styles’)) {
function inspiry_enqueue_child_styles(){
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// dequeue and deregister parent default css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-default’ );
wp_deregister_style( ‘parent-default’ );

// dequeue parent custom css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );

// parent default css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-default’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ );

// parent custom css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );

// child default css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-default’, get_stylesheet_uri(), array(‘parent-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );

// child custom css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-custom’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/child-custom.css’, array(‘child-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );

}
}
}

Is this what’s causing the issue? Thanks.

theme and bbpress both displaying

you can turn off the bbpress breadcrumbs using

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or by using the style pack plugin

[gameslopedy]

I’d like to stop our forum from link spamming by allowing only some level of users can post links in their posts, which plugin of bbpress can do this?
