Guys some devs and I are having a hard time duplicating this issue.

This is how I tested it and come across no issues.

WordPress: 4.4
bbPress: 2.5.8

I tried these default WordPress themes

2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

I tried these forum structures.

Category > Forum > Forum
Category > Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Forum
Category > Private: Forum
Forum > Forum
Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Category > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Private: Forum

With the postname permalink structure (since it is most commonly used and I want to try to duplicate it)

Other things I like to ask is if this is a theme side 404 message being outputted or the normal no topics/forums found here message bbPress outputs like the one below (it could be different if you are using a different language than English for bbPress of course).

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

If you guys can help ask a few questions like the ones that @casiepa asked and these additional ones.

What is your bbPress version?
Have you already tried troubleshooting for a possible plugin/theme conflict?
Are you guys using BuddyPress groups for group forums?
Are the issues only happening on private forums? (Like @kpdub has said)
Did you try the postname permalink structure?

Another thing I may suggest to help try to gather information for the developers, is to try to duplicate the issue yourself. Try to duplicate the issue again on a local installation on your computer. If you can tell us step by step to duplicate it.

Nope; just bbPress! As I said: downgrade to 4.3.1. worked for me!

I’m using default users in wordpress for the bbpress forums as for the regular pages for wordpress.
I’ve installed WordPress Access Control to disallow visitors and regular members from viewing certain pages. These are only allowed to be shown to the paying members of the organisation.
I’ve configured the Access Control to redirect to the page with the bbpress login form when a user isn’t logged in and tries to view a page to encourage paid subscriptions.

The redirect to the login form looks good since it has a value refering to the original page and the link is in this format:
login/?redirect_to=/some-folder/the-page-the-user-tries-to-view
However when a user logs in correctly, the login page is still showing with the message that they’re already logged in. The link has changed to this:
login/?redirect_to=%2Fsome-folder%2Fthe-page-the-user-tries-to-view

So how can I catch that parameter and do the proper redirect to the page where the users initially was?

I have a problem: clicking the reply botton on the “reply to:” page just reloads the page. I also deactivated all plugins besides bbPress and tried at least 8 different themes.

The page is brand new and the “reply” button never worked so I don’t have a backup to restore.

The site is hosted by one.com and I must admit I don’t understand iJamesPine “duplicator local host” solution in the previous post.

In order not to confuse users I hid the reply button now with CSS and suggested to reply via the topic link but this is a poor dirty workaround.

Has anybody got an idea?

bbPress Post Via Mail does exactly what I need it to – i.e. reply to forum topics by email. Unfortunately to use it with PostMark which you have to pay for.

I have my own VPS server strictly dedicated to mail and don’t want to be tied into a paid service.

Is that an other plugin available that would do the same thing but allow me to use my own server?

Thank you.

I’m a brand new user, with bbPress 2.5.8 on WP 4.3.1 at http://www.practicesuccesstools.com . Obviously I have lots of styling issues to resolve, but can someone please point me to instructions as to how to show topics, so my one topic so far in Support would show without having to click on the forum.

Thanks so much.

[dtmfcc]

I must be doing something wrong, but can’t seem to understand it. I’m using WP4.3.1, Thesis 2.1.9 Classic Responsive Skin, and just installed bbPress 2.5.8 . The website is http://www.practicesuccesstools.com

My intention is to have a menu item called Forums, with a dropdown for the 3 actual forums, Support, Blogging, and Marketing.

However, I seem to also have a Forums Page http://www.practicesuccesstools.com/forums/ which I really don’t want. And the main forum page has a first line of

“Your blog is your most powerful practice tool › Forums › Forums

Subscribe”

although I would like the subscribe line.

Can you please help me untangle this?

Same here, using the Kleo Theme. I’ve been struggling the past few days to find the issue and finally found out I was not alone.
The problem is this is happening the same week we’re getting many, many new users and this is has a terrible effect (people thinking our forums are a prank and do not exist for real…)
I’ll try the downgrade process but any hint/patch would be greatly appreciated from the BuddyPress/BBpress team.
This bug is a real nightmare and should not happen on such a popular plugin.
Please DO SOMETHING!

My forum is this

http://asiahairtalk.com/forums/topic/anyone-here-has-started-any-new-treatment/

I am trying very hard to edit:

1) reply font size
2) Author name’s font size
3) Avatar size
4) alternate post background colour

Thanks guys for helping.

Hello you have mentioned Czech is incomplete right now. I am front-end developer, I need CZ for bbPress so I spent some time to fill all missing strings in GlotPress (https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/dev/cs/default). I am not sure how/when it will be approved.

[Ger]

Same here; have an automated update plugin istalled and after update to WP 4.4 subfiorums result in a 404-page. Downgraded to 4.3.1 and bbPress subforums are reachable again. When does bbPress come with a patch for this bug?

Cheers
Ger

Hi,

When a new user or admin tries to access the forum, it seems to work fine.

When an older user (role: participant) tries to access the forum, they get a 404 error (same URL).

Happens in base themes as well as my theme.

Wordpress 4.3.1
bbPress 2.5.8

Have tried the utilities to repair everything. Nothing seems to help.

Very frustrated and at a stand still. Any and all help is appreciated.

Paul

Hello,

When replying to forum replies (nested/threaded replies) everything works as it should in Internet Explorer, but in Chrome, instead of creating a nested reply, the user is taken to the general topic-reply form. The users think it will be a nested reply, and are of course frustrated when it ends up at the bottom of the list.

In IE, no console errors are generated. Here is the error generated in Chrome when the REPLY button is clicked:

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute ‘insertBefore’ on ‘Node’: 2 arguments required, but only 1 present.
addReply.moveForm @ reply.js:18
onclick @ (index):406

Wordpress version 4.3.1
X-Theme version: 4.1.0
bbPress version: 2.5.8

I have also tried other versions of the bbPress plugin with no success.

Thanks!

What I was mainly after was adding the little yellow text notice box that’s there on creating or replying topics. Like the one that states Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content. within the yellow notice box.

If you want the same you can add this is using my example above. Just replace Example text here. text with your own custom notice. Hope this helps someone out!

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
<p><?php _e( 'Example text here.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
</div>

Regards,

Gareth

Right then after some trial and error:

You can add into the footer on the main bbpress forum page by editing the following file:

\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-archive-forum.php

Just add whatever you need where I have put <p>Example text here</p> on the following code

<?php endif; ?>
<p>Example text here</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>

Hope this helps others who need this advice!

Regards,

Gareth

@schwarzkopfclub Thanks you have been a legend and set me well on my way. Also gave me the terms to google and find a plugin that will help generally also:

What The File is the best tool to find out what template parts are used to display the page you’re currently viewing!:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

Also on the codex:

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

Thanks again,

Hello,
I have a problem with bbpress.
a couple of days ago a problem started with making accounts on my site.
When a new user is making an account he receives an e-mail with an activation link in that mail.
When he clicks that mail he is comming on a page with an box where he needs to add an activation code.
But in the mail there is no activation code. only a link like: http://website.nl/activate/79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26/

So looks like the account should be activated direct from that link but this is not working.
Also when i enter the code 79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26 again in the field where is aked for activation code this is not working.
So people can not make new accounts at this moment on my website.
Who can help me solve this?

Kind regards

Daniel

latest wordpress and bbpress version installed

sry for the double post

so this is what i found:

The problems seems to be that the links are generated wrong:

how it is right now on my site

http://www.website.com/forums/forum/newforum/

but it should be

http://www.website.com/forums/forum/category/newforum/

so for some odd reason, bbpress is missing the link between the category and the new created forum

[raphque]

I have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch

In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.

What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?

I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3

[FliP0x]

That is exactly what I meant. Dots are where I put actual spaces in the text.
Not sure if it is due to a plugin. It does not work on this bbpress support forum either.

[convictedvapour]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the footer of bbpress please so I can add html text at the base across the whole of the bbpress forums and pages etc.

Can’t find it and looked for footer.php?

Regards,

Gareth

Did you copy any bbPress files into a child theme ?
Are you using any GD tools ?

(just putting some questions, trying to guess…)
