Good evening and thanks for your answers.
My configuration is wp with bbpress and buddypress. I have one public forum with subs-forums in a other hand i have got 3 others forums (privates) with subs-forums as well.
(First of all i wanted to use the possiblity to create privated forums in buddypress’s groups. But i had a bug. First everythings was ok till i create a public forum. I don’t understood why but all my dedicated groups’forums links had been replaced by this last.So I decided to disable this functionality in the groups and to create privated forums outside buddypress instead).
Yes i use user “role editor” and user “access manager” the access to the privated forums pages are manage by user access manager” but not at all for the public one and the trouble is still the same.
Yes here is the link http://pdvc.lgmarras.org
I have created a special user for you if you send me an email i will be able to give you the login and the password.
You use v3.8.7 ? Please notify the creators of the Avada theme because it’s a bug on there side.
In Avada/includes/class-layout-bbpress.php, change line 84 as follows:
Original:
<div class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_topic_post_date( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?></div>
Modified:
<div class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_reply_post_date( bbp_get_reply_id() ); ?></div>

Hey there,
i have a problem. All topic replies have exact the same date as the topic itself. For example: If somebody created a topic on the 1st of february 4:30 pm, all replies will get the 1st of february 4:30 pm date as well. I really appreciate your help. My Users keep complaining about this bug.
Cheers!
Marc
WordPress version 4.3.1
bbpress Version 2.5.8
Copy the file ‘/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php’ to a child theme and then modify the file to what you want to obtain.
Pascal.
I’m not sure what you mean, it’s a single site, with the most recent versions of both WP and bbpress, cheers.
Yeah, I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Changed line 44 like the step-by step guide said to remove the (#,#) after the forum names, but they are still there.
Step-By-Step Guide
ok, @membershipsite101
This old link talks about using templates
https://optimizepress.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/200815558-OptimizePress-2-bbPress-Total-Mess-Let-s-get-this-fixed-now-
and suggests putting
if (is_bbpress()) { include 'bbpress.php'; exit; }
on top of index.php (for the forum-index) and single.php (for the topics) and then style the bbpress.php in the /themes/optimizePressTheme/ /themes/1/ (or whatever OP2 blog-theme you’re using) to your liking.
If you’re a bit techy, might be worth looking at.
The bbpress member pages for forum replies like http://www.domain.de/users/name/replies/ are already indexed by google search.
I want to hide these pages from search result pages but my Yoast SEO Plugin does not support this.
I prefer using “noindex” instead of robots.txt
Do you have any idea to fix this issue?
Well Maury, I feel completely defeated. Here is a reply I got from a great guy at optimize press but it just doesnt seem to be in the cards and thats a shame
Regarding bbPress, it can not be used within pages created with the live editor. It uses the blog template, so the styling would need to be setup under “OptimizePress > Blog Settings (or blog setup)”
@membershipsite101
Using the index shortcode on the ‘forum’ page is perfectly normal. If you leave the /forum page blank then you can choose whether to show the forums index or the topics index on the bbpress settings page.
As I noted before the URL of the Welcome page says it is a subpage of the ‘Help’ page (http://membershipsite101.com/help/welcome). So I would expect it to use the template of the /help page, not the one of the /forum page. Do you perhaps have a page titled ‘Welcome’? Try hovering over the forum title on the /forum page and see what the link says. If the forum root is ‘discussion’ then the /welcome page should be either /discussion/welcome or /forum/discussion/welcome.
I think you need to review your bbpress settings again. Look at my page http://spaug.net/forums.
I use the bbpress default settings as follows:
Forum root slug: forums
Forum slug: forum
Topic slug: topic
And I check the ‘Forum Prefix’ box as recommended.
Then my URLs are as follows:
Root page: sitename/forums
Individual forum page: sitename/forums/forum/forum-name
Individual topic page: sitename/forums/topic/topic-title
I suggest that you try changing the forum root slug to ‘forum’ or ‘forums’
Finally, unless you are very adept at CSS modifications, I recommend the ‘bbp style pack’ plugin. It allows you to modify colors, fonts, font size, etc easily.
Remember, whatever optimizepress theme template.php you want to use for the forums page (right sidebar, no sidebar, etc) make a second copy of it IN THE SAME FOLDER and rename it bbpress.php. That way bbpress will always use that template. I also make a copy of the bbpress.css file from plugin folder (\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\css\bbpress.css) and put it in the theme folder. That way you can use the WordPress Editor (Appearance>Editor) to make changes.
I just did a quick Google search on ‘Optimizepress and bbPress’ and it looks like there is a lot of incompatibility. I also noted that Optimizepress was discontinuing their support forum in favor of their ‘customer happiness team’. My condolences
Having fun yet?

Does anyone have any advice for importing bbpress forums and users from a single-site installation, into a multi-site installation please -x-
Wp V 4.4.1 (multi-site)
bbpress V Version 2.5.8
The site is private, I’m unable to send a link.
it seems to work with Version 2.6 alpha you can find here:
Download
But as usual, it is not recommended for live sites 😉
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
*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.
Pascal.
Hi,
To give you a starting point, check out what @robkk found already: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customizing-bbpress-admin-links/
Pascal.
Hi,
You can refer to this topic.
Pascal.
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.
Pascal.
Hi,
The 2 that I know most people use are ‘GD bbPress attachments’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’.
