it seems to work with Version 2.6 alpha you can find here:

Download

But as usual, it is not recommended for live sites 😉

[phraisohn]

I have the same problem. I just download WordPress 4.4.1 and Fresh install. Then install bbPress latest version.

When I visit Forum category I can’t see the link or button that I can create new topic. It’s show only “This forum is empty.”. I try with basic theme Twentyfourteen which came with WordPress.

Any Idea to solve this please?

sorry hit publish a bit early meant to go to say

You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.

so if you wanted to amend loop-single-forum you would do the following

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Does this help?

*EDIT*

I just tried it out with a totally clean install of wordpress 4.4.1 and bbpress 2.5.8 – SAME RESULT – there are no other plugins installed !, only two users, etc.

can there a be an issue with the local MAMP installation?

thx for any suggestions!

First off let me say I think I may have no clue as to the move of the bbpress files to child theme.

wp-content/themes/theme_name/??????

should that be the first folder and later under bbpress templates, i.e start @ “default” and copy ALL files an folders to move under the websites theme????? Eactly where and what is copied?

My second question. css fixtures seem to be working fine, but I can not remove the (#,#) beside the sub-forum titles on the main page.

Next question, how can I remove the announcement area?

I would also like to remove the View # topics @ the top of the topics list & just display at the bottom of the list.

Now here is where the layout starts to really change.

I would like to remove the bar saying Topic, Voices, Replies, Freshness.

Then reformat the forum list to display

The topic area the same, but remove the voices # & replies # & place a small vertical divider and finally display a box of user profile pictures from the participants in the topic.

Yeah, it’s a big difference in the look & considering I’m having a hard time just know where to put the folders should be interesting trying to pull this off. Hopefully you guys have patience. 🙂

Hi,
I think you better ask this on a WordPress forum. Seems no error from bbPress.

I have WP 4.4.1 with the latest bbpress Version 2.5.8 installed on a local machine (therefore no link). The theme is base on the warp engine from yootheme.com

I am testdriving bbpress locally. As an admin, I can set up forums and topics etc. but in the front end, I can not create topics in a forum nor answer to topics created by admin the backend.

Front-end posting even does not work as an admin logged in, and it’s browser independantly not working.

All I get is the general error message: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Even with all other plugins deactivated, there is no change.

Only changes to the standard setup are “allow non registered users to create topics” and the permalink rewrite from “forums” to “xxx-yyy-zzzz”

Help is highly appreciated! thx in advance

Hi,

Check out the bbpress shortcuts on https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
Under the ‘Topics’ header you will probably find what you need.

Hi,

The 2 that I know most people use are ‘GD bbPress attachments’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’.

I want to extend forum support on my website to get my users more engage. I have a Tech Website – Can anyone here give me a detailed tutorial to setup bbpress on WordPress? It will be a great help.

[Andrew Tibbetts]

Ooops.
I have been jumping back and forth testing forum home and topics as they both don’t work and I copied the wrong line I was using.
So, correction:

…when i put echo is_singular( bbp_get_topic_post_type() ) ? 'yes' : 'no'; exit; on line 255 of bbpress/includes/common/template.php inside bbp_is_single_topic(), I get a white page that says “no”.

I get the same “no” doing the forum check in the forum function while on the forum page.

[CozzieF]

Hi!

I am getting the above message. Additionally, I’ve noticed in the menu that the forum is listed as a ‘post type archive’. Are the two connected?

I have recently moved to a new theme so I’m wondering if that could be the issue.

I have disabled all the plugins and left just the bbpress one active to check there is no interference but its’ still not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Andrew Tibbetts]

Thanks, Stephen.
Ok, so, Query Monitor is telling me that topic pages are returning true on a bunch of is_s:

is_page()
is_singular()
is_bbpress()
bbp_is_single_topic()
is_buddypress()
bp_is_group()
bp_is_group_forum_topic()
bp_is_group_single()
bp_is_groups_component()
bp_is_single_item()

But, when i put echo is_singular( bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) ? 'yes' : 'no'; exit; on line 255 of bbpress/includes/common/template.php inside bbp_is_single_topic(), I get a white page that says “no”.

Thanks Maury for the reply. I did nothing literally. I installed the bbpress plugin from inside wp. I then created a page called forum in optimizepress, picked a template which is screenshot1. In the template I simply added this [bbp-forum-index]

Other than that I did nothing

forum root slug is discussion
single forum slug is forum

I didnt copy anything or move anything, I am semi illiterate on that, but with step by step I can handle it.

WP Version 4.4.1, bbpress 2.5.8, http://de.movemeta.org/foren/

Hi,

just like in WordPress.org and bbpress.org forums, I would like to enable users to insert blank lines to be visible after posting. Please tell me how to accomplish this – I know that the limitation is there to prevent users posting 1000 lines in a row, but clearly, to have at least one blank line was considered preferable around here, too.

Thank you,
Manuel

@andrewgtibbetts can you install the following two plugins and take another look?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Here’s what I see, is_single(), is_singular() and bbp_is_single_topic() all return true

[Stephen Edgar]

@ dots Nice size forum, heres a few things that I hope will help:

Firstly, can you try by using bbPress 2.6-alpha, you can find it here https://bbpress.org/download/

1) Sometimes scripts are automatically stopped and script not start automatically.

Sometimes things timeout, a workaround for this is to open another tab in your browser to example.com/wp-admin and refresh it occasionally

2) Currently, lots of data is still pending to import in BBPress but the script is not running and in tools bottom section I can see only “Starting Conversion” and loader.

This is similar to 1), by refreshing you should in another browser tab this should keep that issue at bay, this particular issue is usually when PHP drops the MySQL connection and needs refreshing to update the connection between WordPress and the database.

3) I have noticed in the tool having the duplication issue you can see above in Xenforo only 83,813 topics but BBPress tool imported 83,867 records. So 54 records are duplicates. so this issue resolved using BBPress repair forum tabs?

It could be duplicates, though I’ve only ever tested 3 or 4 Xenforo forums with bbPress, potentially using the repair tools might fix this though without some more information here it will be hard to take a guess. If you can supply a copy of a couple of duplicates I can take a closer look as to the reason why.

4) BBPress import tool taking random data from the Xenforo database. I have noticed when I have started the script first the users come from the Xenforo. But unfortunately, the users are skipped and the tool has started to import the topic. So, I am a bit confused here BBpress import tool can complete import all the users, topic, forums, and replies successfully? you can see above my total Xenforo user is 1,59,679 and BBPress tool has imported only 94,600. and the now script has started to import replies.

Again, it should do all of this correctly, though testing with bbPress 2.6-alpha per above will hopefully fix many, or most of the issues you are having, can you try using 2.6-alpha and let me know how that goes for you please 🙂

Also a couple more tips in our docs:

It seems that the solution suggested here does also work.

@membershipsite101
Don’t know if we are talking about the same problem. It seems like your site is using a different HEADER template for the Welcome page. Also noted that the Welcome page is a subpage of the HELP page, not of the FORUMS page. Are you using bbpress shortcodes for this? You might want to check the bbpress settings page and see if the slugs are set correctly.
But anyway, I looked at your site and I noticed that the bbpress.css file was being loaded from the bbpress plugin directory, not from the theme directory.
Did you in fact copy the template.php file you want to use into the theme directory and rename it bbpress.php? I also strongly suggest copying the bbpress.css file into the theme directory as well so you can make changes to the bbpress styling easily.
Hope this helps.
Maury
