Hi, I have just installed today your BBPress. I have generally set it up and then tried to start a new topic. I complete all the fields. Above the form it states I have all privileges and can write in html etc. But when I click the submit button, the details of the topic disappear and then a message saying there are no topics in this forum. Can someone advise the reason for this and propose a solution?
I have tried it with the latest 20/13 with the same result.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manuel,
All help is appreciated !
To contribute to the translations, you just need to have a WordPress account and you can start translating strings: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
When there are no strings left to translate, any German GTE could validate the package.
But let me forward your request to the team here anyway.

Hi,
It indeed seems that emails get delivered (I checked with the bbPress developers). I’m trying to create something around it, so keep subscribed to this thread. Just note that it can take time before I get to it.
Pascal.
Did you try bbPress 2.6-alpha ? A lot has been improved…

Hi Brandi,
Seems like you theme goes in conflict with bbPress. What theme do you use and can you confirm that switching theme solves the issue ?
You will have to play with CSS if you want to stay with this theme:
.forum {
width: 100% !important;
}
Pascal.
Limiting the keymaster ? Keymaster should be able to manage the whole system, so I would not touch that one. Think more of creating a new role like ‘myKeymaster’ and give the capabilities that you want: https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

Hi –
I’m using bbpress for a membership website I created. I’m having issues with the way the theme I’m using is laying out the list of forums.
It looks like this, but I would prefer it to layout the forum in one row instead of columns.
I’m learning CSS and PHP, but I know enough code to be dangerous right now. I’m looking for an easy fix.
Any ideas on how I can fix it appearance of the forum?
Wordpress 4.4.1, bbPress 2.5.8, draftanimalpower.org
@hotconductor, I found my way to this forum in search of answers to the same questions you’re posing. I found this recent topic which basically says that you may be able to achieve this result by editing the child theme, changing functions, or using an external search functionality like that of Google Custom Search.
@Robkk, could you be more specific about what code we would need to add to the child theme in order to achieve the functionality we’re looking for? I am capable of very basic code but my ability level is low so I’m hopefully looking for something I can copy in.
Help please?
Job done Pascal it was AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1.
Not only are messages being sent but haven’t had any browser time outs on loading the site since deactivation. Time outs have been a pain, along with intermittent slow page loads for ages.
Go “Buy yourself a beer”.
Cheers,
Eugene.
Hi,
It seems like a conflict somewhere. Did you try to deactivate plugins (like AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1) or others ?
Pascal.
I want to reset my bbpress data.
However, this is giving me a 500 error every time.
Any advice on how to fix this so I can clear my test data and do a fresh import.
So I put two versions of my forum up on two different live sites: one hosted by IIS server running on Windows and one hosted by Apache running on Linux. Apache beat IIS hands down, it wasn’t even close on page load times. So it’s bye-bye Microsoft for me, LAMP is the way to go for speedy page loads.
So just don’t run bbPress on an IIS site and the speed is acceptable.
Hi,
I confirm the issue. I have create a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906
Pascal.
Two approaches
1. you are using Reden=pro which is a paid theme, so you should get paid support to fix this, quite often it is very simple, but it is theme dependant
2. see this link on getting wordpress to use the template you want
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Ouch, ok, let me have another look
EDIT: In my 2.5.8 install of bbPress, I see vBulletin3 in the list, so I would say give it a try on a testsite. Get WordPress, bbPress then Tools > Forums > Import forums
Pascal.
Yeah, great plugin, I know the author very well 🙂
In the log of Postman SMTP, do you see the email going out ? It might be a malformed header (had that in the beginning, although nothing to see with bbPress).
Pascal.
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
probably a theme or plugin conflict

Part 1
The form is held in
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
you’ll see several do_action hooks you could use, or indeed you could amend this template and save it in your theme as a new version.
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
and bbpress will use this instead.
Most of the template used in bbpress are held in
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress so hunt around in there for topic forms, profiles etc.
Part 2
` $forum_id = bbp_get_reply_forum_id($post_id);
`
Group forum feeds are having issues.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2888
For just topics, you an for now use the original forum structure url and add this to the end.
/feed/?type=topic
bbPress basically has search equal to the default WordPress search, so just basic functionality.
You can extend the default search in bbPress by using custom functions and modifying some bbPress search template files by placing the in a folder called bbpress in your child theme. Here is a GitHub repository that has some example files you may use, you will need to edit the files as it may be in Russian.
I have seen users use plugins and extend the default bbPress search functionality, and also services like Google Custom Search too.
I’m getting the same behavior. Batch Change Forum Role has no effect.
With the upgrade to WP 4.4.0 bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 batch change of user forum roles are no longer effective.
This does seem linked to the WordPress upgrade as batch forum role changes worked under both bbPress 2.5.7 and .8 worked under WP4.3 but stopped working under WP4.4.
I’ve deactivated all other plugins and set theme to TwentyTwelve – still not working. Debug True is not revealing any hints either.
Anybody else out there experiencing this?
Normal forum software can search by date / author / tag and within specific forums and topics – am I missing something – does bbPress have a decent search function hidden somewhere?
