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,
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.

Hi all,
I’m trying to figure out with BBPress installed and activated on my latest WP 4.4 installation.
I’ve successfully activated BBPress but i doens’t display in my dashboard .
Is it a known issue ? It worked fine with WP 4.3.1
thanks a lot !
@casiepa
but any way, I should not receive any message when I use categories>parent forums>child foums>topics.
This is a deficiency in bbpress to show such messages.
So something is creating an extra one. You will have to test:
– Switch to a standard theme and try inserting a topic
– Stop all plugins except bbPress (stay on the standard theme), insert a topic, then start reactivating one plugin after another and everytime insert a topic.

Hello,
When I create a new Topic or reply, bbpress is creating another topic or forum as duplicate and the wierd part is the name of duplicated topic/forum is just (0).
I am using BPtoolkit only.
Do you have any idea why I am facing with that?
My WP version is 4.4, bbversion is the latest one.
OK, well, talking pure bbPress, there is no option that I know off. And knowing the standard database structure a bit, I don’t think anything is kept as an audit trail.
Try to look into plugins, e.g. to COUNT the views : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-feature-viewhit-counts/ as that seems to be the only way to go.

Hi,
Thanks for your response @casiepa, i already posted this topic on buddypress and they recommend me to post this topic here on bbpress. im in confuse right now. please help
No update as yet, but between WordPress and bbPress I think we can add some unit tests that will add a set of examples of possible permutations and combinations of when this occurs and mitigate as best we can against as many of these as possible.
This thread is totally messed up. The link to the ticket in my previous post isn’t working. Here is the link – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2357.
Just to be clear, you talk about ‘posts’ on the blog or ‘topics/replies’ on your bbPress that should be deleted ?
This is really a bummer for lot of my users. After hours of research into the codes, I just found the ticket, addressing why <li> breaks the site (being an invalid HTML).
Sorry for this bump(ish) post. Is there a temporary workaround or fix for this? For now, I’m planning on putting up a custom notice, advising the participants not to use </li><li> the wrong way.
Also, I’m curious how bbPress (this forum) handles this.
Edit: I think the issue is self-explanatory here.
@casiepa – The above reply with examples, I took them from the same forum. I just noticed it recently. When looking at the date of the post, it seems about the time we had migrated our Kunena forum (on Joomla) to our WordPress site using bbPress, about 6 months ago.
However, I can not verify 100% that they were working at the time after migration as nobody reported it nor did I have a real need to check it.
Although, I can edit it from the backend, so I figure it’s got to be there somewhere, just can’t get to it from the frontend.

Hi,
If it’s your own subscription, then just enter the forum and (in a normal theme/standard bbpress) you should find ‘Unsubscribe’ on top, next to the breadcrumbs.
If you are admin and you want to manage this for more users, have a look at my ‘bbP Manage Subscriptions’ plugin.

I am using a bbpress forum for users to interact with the site.
can you say how this is bbpress related?
Hi,
bbPress is already at the latest stable version (2.5.8) and works great. There are some issues with WP 4.4 (mainly for hidden/private forums) and I’m waiting for WP 4.4.1 like many others, but the issue is there, not in bbPress.
The lastest info I have is that it should be available before Mid January, but that’s just unofficial data.
If you are referring to bbPress 2.6 (nothing to see with WP issues) then I can tell you that tests are fully ongoing (well, a bit less in the last week, but everybody deserves some rest), so I do hope that shortly 2.6 will be out also. You can already test the alpha development version here.

Hello!
bbPress is installed on my site here http://sir-dom.ru/forum-syrodelov/
When I’m logged in as an admin I can to create new topics and to write in existing ones.
But when I register as new user I cant to create new topics and cant to write in existing ones.
I dont see errors. I just push “to create topic” or “to answer”, then page reloads and nothing happens.
You can see it on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOsmeNq0DXA
In first part of video I’m using forum as an usual user. At the second part – as an admin.
According with my tools all new users get the role “participiant”
I have installed plugins
GD bbPress Attachments
GD bbPress Tools
But even when I turn them off the issue is still alive.
What can be a reason???
Really thanks!
When is BBPress going to be updated for latest WP version?
Hi,
What do you mean by ‘it does not support’ ? Did you try ? What is the result ?
I saw somebody moving away from that theme in another thread on bbpress.org, so most probably there are some issues, but in most of the cases it could be solved by creating a child theme.
