OK, so it looks like the request is for member views, which means logged in users. That is much easier to identify.

The problem is that this is a fairly niche case, it’s unlikely that many users of this plugin want a count of members only.

I could add it is an option but then the plugin isn’t really “simple” any more. Let me have a think about it 🙂

@devyncjohnson That’s a great idea by the way. I like the idea of a little panel on the main dashboard with a few stats. Let me have a think about this.

The plugin hasn’t been updated because it hasn’t really needed any changes, as far as I know it still works and the idea is to keep it simple. But some admin stats is a neat idea. I love the idea of core bbPress having view counts but bbPress development has ground to a halt, which is disappointing especially after a bunch of us stumped up some cash to support the further development of bbPress.

“bbPress doesn’t work”, but I see a lot of stuff on http://indonesianvillages.com/forums/ !
So you will have to detail more.

Hello,

I am newbie to use WordPress.
I implemented one website and used bbpress for forums.
But I want to do
When people could type a sentence in a search bar and it would pull up word phrases and such for past posted topics in search bar. In short I want auto search or auto suggest search bar functionality in bbpress forum’s search.

For auto topic suggestion I used ‘bbPress – Live Topic Suggestions’ this plugin Version 1.0.9. Its working when user is going to post new topic at that time existing topic’s list will display.

but I want auto suggestion in case of search of forum, when people start to type word that words related suggested topics or forum name should list come in dropdown.
is it possible ? Please, help me. Thanks

Wordpress Version 4.3.1
bbPress Version 2.5.8
Thanks

Please

Hi Bob,

If you want it the easy way, install my bbP Toolkit where you can change the separator to new line.

If you don’t feel in adding extra plugins, check item 1 on https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/

Hey there,
I’d like to import Mingle Forums in to BBPRESS
But there is no ‘Forums’ option under Tools.

Have tested a different server, different theme – same problem. Anyone else having the issue?

Any ideas?

I’ve noticed that this topic is a year and change old but it concerns the phpbb importer. My brief review of the fields would seem to indicate that field names have changed and it’s why I have generated the errors below. There is no forum_topics field and the topics in phpbb3 have their own table and are assigned to a forum using topics.forum_id. I don’t know what the phpbb 2 database schema but apparently it is different.

Nick – were you ever able to get it to work or did you have to outsource the work? It would probably be a good idea for WordPress to let users know as to the compatibility of the converter with the version of phpBB currently able to be converted. Thanks for any insights.

Imported phpBB, where are the forums?

Ah now it’s clear. You can check this topic that will help you out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tittle/

Problem is the same, but design is from WordPress.. and the website now is on my local mashine.
Here is the php of created bbpress.php
Code is really simple:

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
					<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
				<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
			
			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

But the two pages look different..

Website crop

Looking at html I have noticed, that newly created page has a different body class assigned and so is not recognized as bbpress forum archive page, but rather as a page..
<body class="page page-id-902 page-template page-template-bbpress page-template-bbpress-php custom-background single-author singular two-column left-sidebar">

The breadcrubs issue I have noticed just when I read this..
As that I guess will get fixed after the the page will be understood as forum archive page..

Ok, problem solved 🙂 I had deleted bbpress plugin, after (because of there are was still bbpress roles, and I think that was a problem cause) I had used https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-role-deleter/. After installed bbpress back, and now everything works fine 🙂 thank you!

Hi,
bbPress works with Categories and Forums for the main structure, could you maybe explain what you plan to obtain ? Because you could easily create a structure of Category>Category>Forums.
I did not check how easy it is to have implement it, but if you really want this, check how to add a WordPress custom type, that will be your starting point.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I see 2 topics, so bbPress should be working fine.
Are you sure you don’t somewhere have a plugin that would put the topics waiting for approval or something ?
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
If the theme upgrade caused this, then you better check on the support forum of the theme and for now revert back to the previous version.
Just to be sure: you never adapted any of the files in the theme to make bbPress work differently ?
Pascal.

For my records: great theme for forums with photos Destin Basic

All of the elements of the forum are there, the breadcrumb nav is correct and works, the forum layouts are excellent. A bbPress ready theme that actually works out of the box.

I’ve just upgraded to version 6 of the newspaper theme, and my bbpress now looks like this:

How can I fix this?

Hi..
i have installed bbpress plugin on my website. But there’s a little problem. The article or content that i have input does not appear on my forum/topic. There’s any mistakes?

here my forum link: http://indonesianvillages.com/forums/forum/berita-infos/

Please help me..

Thank you

[David Artiss]

I’ve just installed bbPress and have come across a bit of an issue. Hopefully it’s something I’ve done wrong rather than anything else 🙂

The forum will display fine – I’ve set up a default forum, topic, etc – except for the forum root page. That appears as blank.

I’ve kept everything as default so the root is ‘forums’. Here it is… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/

Blank page. Not even a 404. No, I don’t have any posts or pages set up with the same name. I even changed this to another name and still got the same.

However, a direct link to the forum I set up works… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/forum/test-forum/

Anybody have an idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
David.

From the link it seems the problem was fixed… How?
I have the same issue while using the child theme of ‘twentyeleven’.

That 3rd point in ‘Creating a Forum Page’ clearly states what is not necessary… So what should be done instead ? Especially while my created page as here mentioned ‘Chat’ is not following the bbpress.php and so not recognized as bbpress page.

[najuste]

Thanks, I checked that page before, that is why I have bbpress.php file.
Just for the sake of interested I again tried, copied the code from given link instead of using get_template_part, however no difference.
Constructed page is then visualized as default template, streched in full extent, without any sidebar..

One more thing:
I see that the body class assigned to that constructed page is like for a simple post, has tags like
page, page-id-xx, page-template, page-template-bbress .. while the automatically created forum page has forum-archive, bbpress..
Does it make sense, should I try to change body class??

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
That would be a question to ask in the support channel of that plugin.
As developer I would indeed not consider to increase the counter if the same user would view it in a certain period of time. So if I’m logged in as casiepa into bbPress and I view a topic and hit 10 times the refresh of my browser, I don’t want to increase the view counter with 10. Only after e.g. 15 minutes it should be considered an extra view. But that’s my personal interpretation.
Pascal.

Hi,
To get you started, check point 8 on https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#8-make-sure-bbpress-uses-the-page-template-we-want

Hope it serves,

I just can’t figure it out with the templates noomatter how much I am googling as I am new and can’t get what exactly the problem is. I have followed so many different tutorials, but well, they didn’t lead where I want.

What I have:
a website running localy with a child theme of twentyeleven with a sidebar.
After installing bbpress, the the default forum page ‘sitename/forum’ was well visualized, but the sidebar was empty and the forum did not have full extent.
I wanted to add text before the forum itself as well as create a new sidebar and so created a new page ‘sitename/forums’ choosing ‘Sidebar Template’, with text and then shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. Also created a new sidebar an registered it. Searching for changes created bbpress.php which is simply my index.php (as I can’t find any php file named template.. just sidebar.php, which is not the one I want.). Also tried to make same php as template adding * Template Name: Forum Template to be able to chose it from dashboard.

Now I have:
*default forum page [sitename/forum]- that has a view as I want, till the moment I click on the topic that gets displayed as page per whole extent while also showing the bbpress sidebar = overlapping.
*created forum page [sitename/forums] that I indeed want to have, that has this overlaping problem, and not displaying the bbpress sidebar instead the usual one.

Checking with firebug it is clear that on default forum page, articles are presented as forum pieces, but in the created forum page they are simply presented as articles.
So I suspected I should change smth here instead of the content calling smth different.. <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
However it just looks like nor my created template, nor page bbpress.php is understood as bbpress page.. (as my sidebar is checking that and so it does not appear).

If someone could direct where/what to read or try out I would really appreaciate,
Thanks in advance,

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I can confirm that tens of thousands of us are already on WP 4.4 and it works fine (except for a small issue with hidden/private forums.
You issue is probably related to a theme or plugin that is not working fine. Please switch to a standard theme in WP 4.4 and deactivate all plugins. Then activate them one after the other (bbPress first of course) to see where the issue would be.
Pascal.
