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,

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

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

Please help me with this Error 🙁

[Pascal Casier]

It’s not an issue at all, it’s just what is displayed. bbPress always had one thing, BuddyPress started putting another one. I didn’t have time yet to have a look at the function in BuddyPress as I’m very busy professionally at the moment.
Pascal.

[cmavrikas]

Do you think thia is a BuddyPress related issue or bbPress?

[Robkk]

It kind of is both, the issue is caused by some CSS that becomes useless after it uses li.bbp-body that seems to not close properly, breaking the markup when threaded replies is enabled. The avatars going to the top left corner is caused by absolutely positioning the avatar when it reaches about 480px.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2823

A possible workaround for this would be to have a horizontal forum layout.

This stylesheet has an example of the horizontal layout I was talking about. You can Place the file in a folder called css in your child theme to see how the layout takes affect. I have not tried it with 2016 theme yet though so I do not know how it will do.

Well not a bbPress specific plugin, but there are a few plugins that can work with custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

A plugin I found and tested is called NS Featured Posts, but like I said many other plugins could possibly work too.

After installing the plugin make sure to go to Settings > NS Featured Posts and make sure to add the topic custom post type from bbPress in the plugin’s settings.

Now we can go to Topics > All Topics and see a new column that says Featured. Make sure to click the checkbox near the topic you would want to feature.

Now we are going to make a custom view to display these featured topics in a topic list, and also be able to display them in pages with a shortcode.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php or insert this snippet into a custom plugin like functionality.

This function displays about 10 featured topics on a single page, change 10 to whatever you want.

function rkk_register_featured_view() {
 bbp_register_view( 'featured', __( 'Featured Topics' ),  array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', 'posts_per_page' => '10', 'max_num_pages' => '1'), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'rkk_register_featured_view' );

Now in a custom page or widget area that has a widget text area that can handle shortcodes, insert this shortcode.

[bbp-single-view id='featured']`

I suspect you have a bbpress related function in your theme, or are running other bbpess reliant plugins

Hello, Pascal!

Thank you for helping me again. It turns out this is not .bbp-author-avatar issue. The issue starts when you enable threaded replies in bbPress settings. This is reproducible on fresh WP/bbPress install as well.

So, if threaded replies are enabled, the issue appears. I just disabled those setting on all of my sites and the issue disappeared.

Summary: if threaded replies are enabled in bbPress settings, the topic is rendered wrong on small screens (less than 414×736).

Bug? I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 with theme Twenty Sixteen (WP 4.4.2).

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Great tags 🙂

Did you try with bbPress2.6-alpha ? It very very stable now and the importers have improved a lot.
