BbPress post hierarchy does not allow categories to contain topics, only forums can.

Start with a category that contains forums, with that containing topics.

It might be better to create a bbpress.php instead of a regular static WordPress page, because that 1 static page will not work for all of the bbPress pages. If you create a bbpress.php, all your bbPress pages will use that template instead.

See if this guide helps you any.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

Since you using shortcodes you can echo the shortcodes in the bbPRess template like this.

<?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>

Hi @robkk
(somehow i managed to unsubscribe from my own topic…thus the delayed response). Thanks for your answer.
My forums are intended to be group forums for buddypress. And this is also the case in which I have this bug.
So in regular forums a user who has the overall moderator priviledge (set in user settings) can set tags. Works as expected.
In the case where a user has overall participant priviledges and I set a user in the group management setting (I suppose thats BuddyPress) to be moderator, then the user cant assign tags anymore although he could as a normal member. This is the behaviour I would consider a bug 😉
No I havent tried creating custom roles. I´m also not sure about the interaction with BuddyPress, thus I tried to get some help here first.
On my regular installation I have a role editing plugin, but not on the new test platform. Thus I would discard this as a cause for the bug.
I just ran the repair feature which updated 1 user on the test platform, but this didnt affect the priviledge to post tags. It just resets the overall moderator role of a person to normal participant (if the user has a WordPress subscriber role).

Regerding the other trouble shooting:
– Its a fresh installation
– With 2015 theme
– Only bbPress & BuddyPress as plugins
– I just ran the repair functions again, since this is a fresh install nothing has been updated according to the notifications from the repair functions.

I´m aware that this seems to be an issue between bbPress & BuddyPress and I´m not sure which plugin causes this bug. Since bbPress tags are disappearing I thought it might be bbPress.
Any further ideas how to approach this?

Closing in favor of your other topic.

Delete “Header”

[Robkk]

@leirof

Add this anywhere you can put custom css like in your themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input{
  color: #000;
}

[Robkk]

Can you see the forums on the frontend of your site??
Are you saying you cannot see it in the backend in Forums > All FOrums??

While testing your theme everything works fine for me.

You can try some troubleshooting to see if this is hopefully not a cache issue, or see if a plugin is causing the conflict, or if running the repair tools in Tools > Forums helps.

Yeah this could be bbPress subscriptions having the issue.

See if installing and using this plugin will help you out.

@gene-stevo

1 of your topics I see had 3 links and was caught by the link limit, the others I am not entirely sure really because they do have 2 links, they were just pending moderation for some reason.

I did just approve this topic though.

Help end this Mail Del System nightmare. Please!

[gene-stevo]

WP= 4.3.1 bbPress= 2.5.8 Postman SMTP= 1.6.24

I’m learning WP by building a dummy site as a prelude to rebuilding camera club site. Work in progress at: http://www.snapsphotoservices.biz/
An important feature will be forums. I installed bbPress and all was good until I sent out test messages to selected subscribers. Despite the recipients getting the notifications correctly I was never the less presented with MDS errors: Mail Delivery System <MAILER-DAEMON@smtprelay08.hostedemail.com>Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Thinking I had server issues I moaned at my host who said “It’s not us…” As SMTP is said to be more reliable I added plugin Easy WP SMTP to the mix. It made no difference. I then tried Postman SMTP and created a new email address so that forums related to this and WP just dealt with original mail.
Strangely it’s this original mail that sent messages are referring to. Attached is a shot of the header a recipient sees. The Mochdre boot address is the address Postman is given and the snaps address is the default WP email address.

Hooray! It worked a treat, everybody gets the messages and I get no errors. Untill tonight when my inbox was filled with the old error messages.
Tried deactivating all plugins etc to no avail. How do I stop WP using its own snaps address when I’ve told SMTP plugin to use mochdreboot address? Or, if I create a mail account of noreply@snaps etc, what the heck happens to all the mail the server gets dumped with (assuming it would help)?
This is doing my head in. Please advise.

Closest thing there is.

Pushover Notifications for bbPress

[Robkk]

Are you talking about where it says something similar to this in the body class. Most themes add this not really bbPress itself. If you are missing this <?php body_class(); ?> in your theme you not be able to see the post id.

postid-652

Or for the topic list of the forum where it shows this.

bbp-forum-652

If you have been heavily editing bbPress templates in your child theme you may not have this in correctly in loop-single-forum.

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

[o.m.j]

sorry to bump such a old topic, but can someone show the specifc code to add to child theme functions.php? still learning here…

I tried adding this to functions, but produced an error…

function bbp_title_max_length( $default = 90 ) {
	echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );
}
	/**
	 * Return the maximum length of a title
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3246)
	 * @param $default bool Optional. Default value 90
	 * @uses get_option() To get the maximum title length
	 * @return int Is anonymous posting allowed?
	 */
	function bbp_get_title_max_length( $default = 90 ) {
		return (int) apply_filters( 'bbp_get_title_max_length', (int) get_option( '_bbp_title_max_length', $default ) );
	}

thx!

Thank you for help

[crzyhrse]

Thank you for all your amazing work on some really nice bbPress plugins…

I made a coupe requests, here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-385?replies=1#post-7594550 and here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-386?replies=1#post-7594604

I can’t reproduce this behavior on bbPress 2.5.8 or trunk using the default WordPress themes. Topics and replies in private forums are listed. Are you using a custom theme? Are you running any plugins that effect user profiles? Are you running BuddyPress?

[gptxffa]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any plugins that do this. I currently use email notifications but was just wondering if SMS was an option with bbpress.

Thanks

[tomtower]

deactivated all plugin exept bbpress, same problem.
If i change theme to standard lost my theme mod?

[LPMMA]

I want to delete the “header”, the one with freshness (see), can you help me with that?

I use BBPress Visual Composer plugins !

My website (with the header i want to remove): http://mmanouvelles.com/forum/

I use the last WP version.

[Pascal Casier]

Ciao tomtower,

I have been looking around on your site but didn’t find anything so far…

The only thing I can advice is to deactivate all plugins (except bbPress), change to a standard theme and then see if it works.
Otherwise some users seem to be very happy with the search plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/

Just one warning for your site: On page http://www.monsterbashpincab.com/forums/ you have the 2 search boxes, so people might not know which one to choose.

Pascal.

[OsamaNuman]

This is the plugin, it is exactly what I am looking for … but I dont know if its safe to use since its has not been updated for over 2 years!

What is your advice ?

Thanks 🙂

Hi,

I have an ornery, but hopefully easy to solve problem. When I “create a new topic” in my BbPress forum it posts nicely, but then duplicates that post as the first reply. This makes it look like I posted the same information twice. This happens to every new post. It has been going on forever; I just got tired of it. I think it is a checkbox or something level issue. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks in advance.

WordPress 4.2.5 running OneCommunity theme. Yes, this happens on all themes.

[Pascal Casier]

Glad I was of any help.

Enjoy bbPress !

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi tomtower,
Did you create any child themes under your topshop theme ?
Did you copy any bbpress files into the (child) theme ?
Pascal.

[tomtower]

Hi to everybody and sorry for my english 🙁

why bbpress search does not work on my site?

Thank’s

[TKServer]

I’ve figured out the answer to my own question.

This field is related to the buddy press field wp_bp_activity. That shows something like “joe user replied to the topic xxx in the forum xxx”

_bbp_activity_id isn’t necessary for my reply to code on my particular site for bbpress to work properly. It IS however necessary if I want my Buddy Press integration to reflect activity updates related to the forum.
