There are no spaces between paragraphs in forums, unless I double space, but on the blog posts and other pages where I use the visual editor, there are proper spaces. I realize that the visual editor was removed from bbpress because of issues. I am using a plugin called “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” to re-activate it because for me, the forums are useless without it.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or if there is another solution such as a different plugin? Any info/news when bbpress will be creating a built in visual editor?

Thank you!

Hi there,

I am currently working on my first bbPress site and thoroughly enjoying it! I have one issue though…

On my home page I have a list of 8 latest posts on the site. They include news (standard WP posts), events (custom post type) and bbPress topics and are displayed with query_posts().

I am trying to display the reply count of topics but can’t using bbp_topic_reply_count(), it simply returns 0.

<?php if ( 'topic' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>
	<article class="bit-4 newsPost grid-sizer grid-item">
    	<div class="eventInner homePost">
        	<p class="postLabel">Discussion</p>
            	<h1 class="eventListTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                	<p class="postedOn"><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?> comments, starting on<?php the_date('d M Y'); ?></p>
                    	<p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
        	</div>
    </article>
<?php endif; ?>

Am I missing something? Can someone help please?

Thanks

Hi guys @robin-w

I really don’t get it.

I changed the <?php bbp_list_forums()?> in to

<?php bbp_list_forums(array (
'show_topic_count' => false,
'show_reply_count' => false,
'separator' => '',
));?>

In the bbpress plugin folder and tried it in the theme folder. Both Didn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

Got it to work in the functions.php

For WordPress, could you confirm it’s 4.4.2 ?

Try to switch to a standard theme. If that does not help, switch off all plugins (except bbPress), check that the error is gone and switch them on one after the other to see which one goes in conflict.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

The topic-subscribe is for bbPress forums, it seems to have this impact on BuddyPress as the groups are in the forum !

[laurcarsan]

Thank you very much for your quick response!

I have the version 2.5.8 of BBPress , and version 4.4 of WordPress.
I Use the theme Bridge.
I have this plugins:

-GD BBPress Attachments
-Contact form 7
– WP usuario avatar

There are many type of chat rooms boxes. Some prefer it as you mentioned, a floating chat or embed in the chat. Once I added a chat GoDaddy forced me to remove it as they do not like chat rooms in a shared server. So I was forced to use a hosted service chat room.

What was important to me is that I could chat in a group as well as private using a video chat. Now there are not a lot of options with respect to video chat, but I used a chat room (a floating one on the right side on the lower part of the chat) that uses WebRTC technology that is basically means it will work good on PC (chrome & dd) but not in mobiles (tried it in my iPhone).

@sidebarissue

The bbPress sidebar that you see having the issue, is from your theme. bbPress does not have code in it for a bbPress specific sidebar.

You haven’t checked and made sure to see if it was in your theme by switching/testing a default theme.

I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

You can try your current theme and a WordPress default theme in a local installation on your cpu to see where the sidebar is coming from.

Hello all,
i am using wordpress latest
bbpress latest

Seeing the support forum, others also have identified this one as not working correctly with bbPress.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

To be honest I have not seen that before. It does not seem standard bbPress to me.
I would guess this is coming from your theme or from a plugin.

For caching, multiple plugins exists. See my response here for some extra info, but I’m not an expert: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/should-i-set-up-my-forums-on-another-ms-subsite-to-improve-site-speed/

For the subscription:
If a person is subscribed to a forum, he will get all new topics
If you reply to a topic and tick the box at the bottom, you will get the other replies to this topic.
But I’m not aware of a possibility to get ALL replies to the full forum with just a click …

What I have in my bbP Toolkit plugin is the possibility to tick the box by default so that you get notified for new replies.

Pascal.

Version 4.4.2 the WP noticed that no longer display the name of your forum, instead of them being written Error 404: Page Not Found. Moreover, the entire page is displayed normally, breadcrumbs also displayed normally.

Here is a screen: http://i.imgur.com/i3zGWlp.png

I tried version 4.5 RC2 error is present.
I downgrade to version 4.3.2 and the name appeared.

Version BBPress 2.5.8

you’ll need to create a role with those capabilities

[sidebarissue]

thanks for the advice, i’ll get looking into this. But shouldn’t the pre-made sidebar ‘Plugin | bbPress’ be a working sidebar? I’m just confused about that.

Underneath the sidebar called ‘Plugin | bbPress’ it says “Main sidebar for bbpress pages that appears on the right. Leave it empty to use the full page layout”. I don’t really understand how your solution solves my problem of widgets that aren’t showing up.

[Pascal Casier]

Ah ok,
Then please start from here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#26-creating-a-bbpress-specific-sidebar

[Pascal Casier]

If you have already deactived all plugins except bbPress and switched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dashboard):
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Anonymous posting’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– Deactivate the bbPress plugin, then reactive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap existing users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymaster role would disappear from one account)

Hi Pascal,

There’s no plugin. It’s just the standard sidebar that bbpress comes with. here’s a screenshot. On the right you see Plugin | bbPress and I have put a few widgets in there. Once I go to mysite.com/forums/, I get an empty sidebar.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Marc,
I didn’t try any of them, but these are some possibilities:
1) installing bbPress on the us_US and then downloading the nl_NL bbPress translations and adding them in the bbPress folder (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/)
OR
2) Go MU and have the main site in us_US and create a subsite in nl_NL
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Because it’s not bbPress causing this. What plugin do you have for memberships/roles/capabilties ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress ?

[Pascal Casier]

Could you point me to that plugin for bbPress sidebar ?

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
This seems a BuddyPress question, not a bbPress question, right ?
I think the BuddyPress forum would be a better option to get an answer.
Pascal.

Hey guys,

I’m having one issue that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find anyone with the same issue. I’m using the Be Theme with bbPress, and my sidebar widgets (for the forum only) aren’t showing up. When I drag the widgets onto the Plugin | bbPress sidebar, I get an empty sidebar. When I put the widgets in the footer or on a different sidebar (like the blog or even the footer), they work fine. The people from Be Theme say bbpress is fully compatible with Be Theme so I’m a bit confused.

Additionally, I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides bbpress and that didn’t help. I also ran the forum repairs and nothing happened. I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

Have any of you ever encountered this before? I figured I’d try here before trying on the Be Theme forums.

MY ACTIVATED PLUGINS (even though I said my plugins aren’t the cause of the issue)—————–

– Add Meta tags, All in one SEO pack, bbpress, bbpress report content, bbpress login register, contact form 7, duplicate post, force regenerate thumbnails, gd bbpress attachments, gd bbpress tools, google analytics, google xml sitemaps, jellyfish counter widget, jetpack, layerslider wp, mycred, newsletter, related posts thumbnails, slider revolution, user role editor, wordpress popular posts, wp smush, wp user avatar, wpbakery visual composer

bbpress v2.5.8 and the latest version of wordpress. Additionally, I’d rather not give my website name publicly, but I will give links to a mod if they need it.

Here is a screenshot of the site so you can see. There is a sidebar active (once I delete the widgets the sidebar goes away obviously).

Thanks in advance
