@mglasser The specifics of the cause are outlined in my post above
Oops! That page can’t be found on Sub Forums with WordPress 4.4
I upgraded to 4.4 and then reverted back to 4.3.1 and I think this caused my problem.
Try resaving the forum status, i.e. switch it to public, then back to private
Was this new logic in a new php file or a change to an existing file? Or did the upgrade make some change in the database?
See my link above also
I have learned that my host WPEngine does a non-destructive restore, so when I restored to revert back to 4.3.1 it did not remove the wp_termmeta table nor any new files that were added. But it should have reverted back any changes to existing files which would be calling this new code. My site is working now, but I am still curious how this happened so I can better understand how I should revert back to previous versions.
You should probably raise those concerns with WPEngine, there would be pros and cons of removing the wp_termmeta table but I’d say it isn’t removed because its a “non destructive” restore, and yes the files reverted back would fix the issue, WPEngine should be able to confirm all of this for you.
your theme thinks it’s opening up a blog page – when you click genera discussion you’ll see that in menu blog is selected.

The root cause of the issue is hierarchal post URL’s with custom post statuses, so in bbPress case if we have a “private” forum that uses a custom post status “private”, as such when we expect our URL to be e.g.: https://example.com/forums/forum/my-private-or-hidden-category/my-forum
If the forum or category my-private-or-hidden-category is private or hidden then the URL generated for the my-forum excludes the my-private-or-hidden-category part of the URL and the resulting url is https://example.com/forums/forum/my-forum which is incorrect, bad and makes us sad 🙁
Hey everybody! So, I got this idea about using facebook Posts in Groups together with a bbpress forum and the other way arround. I stumbled over this 6 year old thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/connecting-facebook-group-to-bbpress/
And thats basicley what I’m trying to achieve. So since the first Thread facebook had some changes to their API. Is there something on thecmarket that allows such an integration?
Thanks!
For any others that may need help:
In the latest wordpress installation the “BBloggin Widget” is called “BBpress Login widget” and you drop it in the “Primary widget area” which is located on the right of the middle.
Create a child theme, throw this loop-forums.php file in a folder called bbpress using ftp.

You can remove the bbPress like button plugin to remove the notice.
If you do need help with your css changes taking effect I could help you with that.
I’ve had nothing but problems trying to customize bbpress, so I’m just not going to use it. I WAS going to uninstall it and reinstall it to see if that would make my css changes take effect, but when I deactivated it I got this message any time I tried to visit any page on my site, “bbPress Like Button needs bbPress installed and activated in order to work.” So now I don’t want to reinstall it, I just want to get rid of it all together and be done with it. This has been more of a headache than it should be.
How do I get that error message to go away and get rid of bbpress? Please help.
Hello,
I’m pretty new to wordpress+bbpress (been working with it for a few days now). In the past I have used other forum boards, but since I’m using wordpress now I figured while the hell not try out bbpress ?
So far I like it, I’m still working things out but I managed to do what i wanted using google when I was hitting a wall.
Now, what i’d like to do is change bbpress layout from this :
to something like this :
Even with some research I don’t know what/how to modify this. I have read the “Layout and functionality – Examples you can use” in the codex (and actually used one to get the forum list to be block instead of inline) but it doesn’t mention this kind of modification.
My html/css/php knowledge is really basic, and obviously not enough to do this on my own.
If someone could point me in the right direction I’d gladly appreciate it. Thanks !

The currently browsing each post functionality, I am not sure, there is not a plugin that I am aware of that can do this for bbPress specifically or for WordPress custom post types. There are user online plugins that display all users online on the site as an alternative to this. You may need to hire a developer to create this currently browsing functionality for you.

Could be a theme, plugin, or WordPress/bbPress issue. You can try the plugin and theme troubleshooting listed below to see if it is only your currently active theme having the issue present. After the troubleshooting come back with some results.
Troubleshooting
I have several forums on one WP website with only registered members added to them. Certain users cannot reply to a post, while everyone else can. All users were set-up at the same time and there are no differences in their profile/forum settings. But when some users try to post, they hit “submit” and nothing happens. Their reply window clears, but their post doesn’t display. They don’t get any error messages. It just doesn’t do anything.
When I tried to login and post as one of those users, I was able to reply with no problems. But they can’t do it on their end. So there isn’t anything wrong with their user account because it worked for me when I used it.
Could it simply be an Internet connection issue (but I’m not sure how that is because they can see the page without any problem)? Are there certain browsers or devices that you can’t submit replies from? I’m racking my brains to try to figure out what only particular users can’t seem to post when everyone else can, but it’s happened to more than one person, so I’d like to get to the bottom of it.
Are there any conflicts with bbPress for operating system, browser, mobile device, etc that could be causing the issue?
What I did at a certain moment was create a new page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode (https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/)
Then in my Appearance/Theme Settings, I have set the homepage to this created page.
Not sure if this is what you want…

Hi all
On my pages I have everywhere a sidebar show on the right side.
But on my bbPress forums, the sidebar is not show 🙁
How can I set this up ?
Thanks and best regards

Wordpress Version 4.4
bbpress Version 2.5.8
I am trying to embed just the forum content into my homepage. If I do it with an iframe it displays the header and sidebars which I do not want.
Is it possible?
Hi,
I would say to start from https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/ and read the subpages there to see if you get something out of them.

Hi!
bbP has bbp_get_topic_close_link function (defined in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php file) that outputs an anchor tag (<a>). However customizing the anchor tag proved difficult so we ended up using a bit of custom code to output the link:
<?php if( is_singular( 'topic' ) && current_user_can( 'moderate' ) ) : ?>
<div class="post-note">
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic( bbp_get_topic_id() );
if( bbp_is_topic_open( $topic->ID ) ) {
$uri = add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_toggle_topic_close', 'topic_id' => $topic->ID ) );
$uri = wp_nonce_url( $uri, 'close-topic_' . $topic->ID );
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '" class="bbp-topic-close-link button green">Close Thread</a>';
}
?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Hey guys sorry to be the guy and post this I know its probably been post a milllion times. I am using the theme Shore for my Website because its just a theme that I enjoy. Bbpress & Buddypress seem to not want to work with this theme. I need a good forum and social section. I have tested by switching to 2016 themes it worked properly. I also enabled and disabled every plugin, even reverting back to early wordpress versions. Now is there anything I can do in the child theme to customize to get BBpress & buddypress working properly. I have basic knowledge of coding I did some in High School given enough time I can figure it out. Just getting pointed in the right direction would be huge.

Let me know if you need more info I want to make this easy as possible for you.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I know that some users switched to https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ because it gives more customization options.

Hi,
A previous case was solved by deactivating some plugins that interfered (like bbpress – No Admin). It could also be a roles/members plugin. Can you try to deactivate all plugins, see if it works, and then reactivate them one by one ?
If that didn’t work, try to find a plugin that shows your capabilities to be sure that you are have the rights on the forum.

Private forum, was looking at the css but can’t figure it out as the source goes like this:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
for the [bbp-forum-index] then further down:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
for [bbp-topic-index] so hiding <div class=”bbp-breadcrumb”> would hide both?
Hi,
Is it a public forum ? If so, can you share the URL ?
There is probably not much that can be done for it from the bbPress side as you use the shortcodes, but maybe in CSS something can be done.
Pascal.
