Hello we just installed bbPress and have a minor issue. It is probably a setting or something not I have not set up correctly im guessing.

Ok so the forum itself loads up ok fine, example:

Test Forum

However if we goto

https://aont.uk/forums/

The page does not show anything really worthwhile.

I have even created a page called “Forums” and added just the line [bbp-forum-index] onto the page, but still it shows up nothing of any use.

Anyone know what is going on here and how I could fix it?

Many thanks

And I found the solution:

Navigation Links Return 404s Errors

1. Removing the breadcrumbs

if you are fine with code then :

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

if not then use my style pack plugin to turn them off

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

ok, so something is turning it off.

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

bbpress uses much of the theme characteristics so if the theme is compliant then bbpress should be there.

you can also use my style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

to style to get improved fonts etc.

I suspect that your theme or another plugin might be interfering.

[Robin W]

ok, so for the header you have

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header

and on content you have

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content

You could also download my style plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and either use that or look at the styles.php file in the css folder for styling css and use what you need.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d strongly recommend you have a testing site.

Creating a Test Site

Whilst it will take an initial effort to set up, it is well worthwhile

I have WordPress 4.5.3 running AccessPress Pro theme on my site with the latest version of bbpress at 2.5.10.

I have the Search Function in my forum unfortunately the forum is not public. When I try to search, it only searches through the WordPress posts that I’ve created and not through the forum. I’ve searched with words that I know are included in the topics and topic names.

The search is doing the literal opposite of what I want it to do and what it says it should be doing.

[Robin W]

probably a conflict –

WordPress Version: 4.5.3

Well, this is a strange one. The formatting toolbar (above each editor area with the bold, italics, link, etc. buttons) disappears when someone is logged into my forum.

I have already tried disabling all other plugins, to no avail. No change from clearing my browser’s cache or trying different browsers either.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

I would like the questions to be displayed the same way that on this bbpress forum.
I want them to look very different from replies.
Thanks

1. On Saturday I installed a bbpress forum at drkkd.com/community/

2. That same day, my pageviews suddenly went up.

3. I can provide screenshots of surge.

4. I noticed that the surge is for one page only – drkkd.com/archives – which leads to homepage.

5. Customers started complaining about website being slow since the install.

6. Then I noticed google analytics showing customer computers loading homepage hundreds of times – again I have screenshot of this.

Seems to me, since installing bbpress, what is happening is that some function within bbpress is calling that page in a loop. It isn’t happening everywhere, so there may be browser dependence.

I use Avada theme with s2member, bbpress, and a few other plugins.

WP version – version 4.5.3

bbpress – Version 2.5.10

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Mkpolo,

I think you mean a quoting function, which can atleast be found in https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ both paid and free version.

Hey Guys –

I have a project where its a social community site where all the members create the site content on their own. I have 2 profiles(roles) that all users will fall under (employer & employee). Then I have 3 membership levels for each role (FREE, Standard & Premium). The idea is to pair up these users by category and control the level of access/features they have based on account type. So direct messaging is available only to premium members, push notifications only available to premium members. The more features and ability to build out your profile is based on your membership type. I would obviously add membership plugin to restrict access and capability as well as ecommerce capability for checkout.

I know bbPress and BuddyPress are forums and social communities but will they integrate well into membership type communities where clients need to pay for additional access to social community and forum features?

If not, is there a premium application that handles these types of projects?

Thanks so much!

Hello everyone I have problem after I create topic and UI look wrong result. here what I see when topic was created.

[mkpolo]

Hey guys,

I like bbpress overall, however I’m missing a possibility to reply to a specific message someone posted as a reply within a topic. As in bbpress when one presses reply he’s redirected to the bottom of the page where a reply can be written and posted.

The problems are:
1) User can’t look at the message you’re replying to due to redirect to bottom of the page
2) If a lot of people replied within a certain discussion already one can’t contribute to the message that was posted earlier, sort of missed out on a discussion.

Has anyone managed to get around it? and enable such functionality?

forum search widget doesn’t display. It sould be at the top of the sidebar here:
http://narcissist.staging.wpengine.com/discussions/topic/will-held-moderation/#post-1258

this is 2014 theme with bbpress as the only active plugin.
any thoughts? as the address indicates this is a WP Engine staging site.
thx,
John

I have a client who wishes to create a website full compliant with the disability W3C standards. Will bbpress work for this?

Thanks
