I have just re-installed bbPress after looking at several alternatives as although it was the first I tried it seemed to be incompatible with the custom template I am having to use.

Link to screenshot

I looks to me that the forum needs a wider page in order to organise its components properly as they are jumbled up. The forum does work in that I can enter text – it is just a bit of a mess. I might even suggest styling is very minimal

I have tried making a full width page (no sidebars) and then substituting page name into ‘Forum root’ and it seemed to work BUT the forum was loaded with sidebars as before so no improvement.

I have read of a somewhat complex solution involving child templates and monifying style sheets but that seems dreadfully long winded and prone to error for a WP non-coder such as myself.

Is there an easier way to prevent sidebars from loading?
Or is there a way I can generate a page eminating from a different template on which I can load bbPress? The latter might give me a nicer forum styling too.
Is there a way to load the forum into an existing page via html/Js code for example – as an iFrame perhaps?

Thanks for any help – if it has to be the most difficult way then please say!

BBpress works fine, but from replies I can´t see about 1/2 inch on the right side. Testet with Firefox and Opera and Safari. (It works on Safari on iPhone.)

Please have a look.

Hopefully this guide helps you. It lists some help for an import getting stuck and also ways to optimize the import process.

Import Troubleshooting

You add the php code snippet to your child themes functions.php or in a functionality plugin that can hold custom code snippets to fix this issue if you have a port number in the urls while using xampp server.

ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

I just got this issue but it only occurred when upgrading a site to PHP 5.6(previously on 5.4).

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home2/tabbangy/public_html/tabban/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446

I did have Yoast SEO installed but on deactivation the error still persists ( i don’t have NEWS SEO).

Reverting back to 5.4 clears the error.

The emails magically stopping and topics being automatically being unsubscribed is a weird issue. Only thing I could think is that a user may not know that they are unsubscribing their own topics without knowing, or something or someone has run a process to bulk unsubscribe a users topics.

Does it happen to all subscriptions for the user, or just a few?
Any plugins that modify bbPress’ subscriptions?

Have you done some plugin troubleshooting, to see what may be causing the issue??

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

I say since I think you are trying to set up hiarchal forum and category layout, insert this loop-forums.php file into your child theme instead of what you did.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout/blob/master/loop-forums.php

If you want to try to add the hook into the bbp_list_forums() function, you have to filter the output put the hook before every list item.

bbp_list_forums

[Robkk]

Is this the type of error you are getting in the red notice?? It might be translated different if you have a different language for your forum.

Just make sure you have some content in your message to a topic.

Go through some troubleshooting. See if it could be custom php code snippets that could be causing the issue in a child theme functions.php or in a separate plugin.

@shawnsauce

Was the forum ever in a BuddyPress private or hidden group??
Did you ever use another private group plugin and make that group with the forum private?
Has the forum ever a private or hidden forum??
Does this only happen in your current theme?
Have you tried disabling all plugins except bbPress to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums.

Troubleshooting

Also I am testing with this theme and I am not getting this issue, I think there must be some setting somewhere that is making the forum not be visible in the search results.

[desert-rover]

I’m trying to use wp_query in a plugin. One that allows me to export data to csv and I wanted to use the query to combine all the bbPress custom post types. Which I was able to do, but I also wanted to add a filter on the date and not sure how to do that.

This worked here to get ALL the forum data exported:

‘post_type’ => array) ‘forum’,’topic’,’reply’ )

The plugin just gave me a field to enter that so I didn’t need the rest of the php code.

[ShawnSauce]

Hey,

Thanks for your response.

I tried using the methods that the page you provided recommended but it didn’t seem to effect anything.

A little more details since I have been testing this.

I did a search not using the bbpress search function and the results were what I would expect them to be.
See here: http://citysocial.xyz/?s=jazz

If you compare it to the results from the bbpress search (http://citysocial.xyz/forums/search/?bbp_search=jazz) you’ll see that the searches are inconsistent.

WP: 4.3.1 bbPress: 2.5.8 Theme: Jolene
Hi Folks,
I’m trying to tweak the colours of a site I’m building as a “learn WP” excercise and I cant find out how to change the colour of the Search button on my forums page.
I have Custom CSS installed and I’ve entered this to control the Up and Over states of the SUBMIT button:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
    background-color: #1e73be;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    float: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-radius: 4px;
    height: 35px;
    width: 120px;
    font-size: 14px !important;
}
#bbpress-forums .submit:hover{
    background-color: #82D646;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    float: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-radius: 4px;
    height: 35px;
    width: 120px;
    font-size: 14px !important;
}

I’ve also got this to control the colour of the SEARCH button but adding the :hover at the end of a copy of the original CSS, at the end of the id name doesn’t work.

#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form input[type=submit], 
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form input[type=submit] {
    text-indent: 0;
    background: none;
    background-color: #1e73be;
    color: #fff;
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    border-radius: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
}

Any Ideas greatly received. The Forums page is here if MEMBERS PAGES password requested it is… ccc

I have a similar issue I think ..

I’m on bbpress 2.5.3 and wpress 4.3.1 set up as site, blog, and forum.
Regarding registrants roles, all Participants are Subscribers.
Yet some Subscribers have blank/no role for the forum.

Does this mean that a Subscriber doesn’t have access to the forum (if they’ve created an account via blog replay first) ..?

I’ve tested but can’t seem to determine the process. Sometimes I get a new registrant/user row but all fields are blank .. not trying to ask multiple questions here but want to include that if it helps diagnose what the issue is.

Thank you for any help!

Hey guys,

I built this site with BBPress and BuddyPress, let me know what you think:

Hi desert-rover,

Are you looking for a database query to run directly towards the database ? Or are you looking for a piece of PHP code using bbPress and wordpress functions ?

Pascal.

[John James Jacoby]

It reads like you’ve tried basically everything. If I were to help troubleshoot more, I’d need some level of access into your installation (like Rob has asked for.)

It’s unusual, for sure. But caching forums is hard, and it’s plausible you’ve uncovered some quick in bbPress that needs addressing, and I’m happy to help with that.

Let’s find a way to chat privately, and then report back here what we are able to figure out?

[parmaker]

I just transferred the whole site, which is housed under a non-bbpress-like CMS package, into bbpress by the built-in tool.

Every thing looks fine.

But I have yet to put them in production because of one reason:

Let’s think about the following:

1. a visitor landed my home.
2. he/she went to a forum.
3. the forum shows topic index and a paginator on top or bottom of topic index box, based
4. on the max of lines configured.
5. the visitor travelled back and forth in site the forum by clicking the paginator. for ex, if the forum has 100 topics and max line is configured as 15, then paginator links would be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
6. supposed that the visitor clicked 3-pgnator before clicked 5th topic.
7. that is, the visitor is reading the 35th topic and replies if any.
8. at this time the vistor changes mind to go to 2nd page.
   so the visitor go back to the previous topic index before clicking 2-pgnator link.

Now the visitor grumbles. the topic view page(the one described at 6.) shoud have got the topic index and paginator below the topic view. So we dont need to do extra clicks.

This scenario is totally from the customers’ view point. Unfortunately, there are some tools in the world prviding such features, and they asked the site builder to implement that feature.

Because old system has it and the bbpress out of box does not, i do not think the request is wrong.

I have tried to find a solution, but not. for ex, i put
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-single-forum id=$f_id]‘);
at the bottom of conent-single-topic.php

Then looked great, but problem is:

In case that said above 6., the 3th topic index should be shown but shows 1st page, which is not getting sync’ed with the current topic’s position.

so i have to look into source code.

As far as I learned from it, bbp-single-forum short code is the very candidate, I guessed. But no clue to me.

display_forum function is out of control by myself, I guess.

Hopefully, some help or idea is in need. Or, let me know what I missed or overthought.

Thanks.

[parmaker]

Maybe similar with me.

bbpress.org support forum’s landing page shows elegantly topic titles and paginator at the bottom. That’s good. Now we are clicking the paginator a couple of time, i.e we are in page #4, where clicked a topic.

Then we can see a lead topic and replies if any. So if we want to next pages, we should get out of the topic and back to the previous, then we click again paginator to go further.

From the view point of bbpress, it is so natural. But little bit redundant transactions were. If the topic view can duplicate the single forum topic index into bottom part, it might be to cut down one transaction from visitor. (customers complain redundant click, they dont care how, but developer cares)

up to this point, only one statement – echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-single-forum id=$forumid]‘) is enough to put at the bottom of conent-single-topic.php

But problem is that it always shows from the very first page. If i am reading a topic of 5th page, the above shortcode should get synced, but still shows from very first.

display_forum of BBP short code class does not show any clue to this issue.

my straight guess is bbp developers consider kind of a heavy burden to mysql because entire topic-typed posts should be read for every single topic view.

In real world out of bbpress, their forum package provide such features.

One reason that i wrote this, to ask around you what I missed or now mislead, and better idea.

If you think this repl is not related to this topic, i am sorry.

I’ve searched and found several instances of this question, but no clear answer. I am using S2member and would like for all profile fields to show on the bbpress profile. Currently, they show on the Edit Profile page, but do not appear on the profile itself which seems like it will only confuse members. (Where can anyone view the info they edit?)

I saw this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/showing-profile-information/
Which seems to give part of the answer…but I do not what to use for non-bbp fields.

[Stephen Edgar]

Just saw the reset forums setting, although one of the tasks called something to do with conversion tables failed, but it appears to have cleared out the forums.

This, this should work perfectly each each time, it essentially runs the same query as mentioned immediately above here.

and this time decided to check off the purging option just to be safe, and it’s back to doing trying to delete stuff into the millions, ie: Deleting previously converted data (1342100 – 1342199), etc.

Don’t check this option, it’s a known bug that I think I’ve fixed for the next release, the first option above should get you what you need, but remember it deletes everything related to bbPress including data and any options settings you have made.

Topics imported but not showing up after importing vB.

You can see topics show up here (http://www.maddengurus.com/topic/madden-2015/) but not here http://www.maddengurus.com/forum/madden-general-discussion/

Also get error in repair screen only when trying to “Recalculate the position of each reply.” Error states: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in wp-includes/functions.php on line 3207

Browser window also goes blank when I try the following repair alone: Remap existing users to default forum roles

Thanks for any help.

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

What I think is happening is somewhat bbPress default styles related and possibly the main font color in your theme. From what I can see you know have a plugin that adds custom styles for the bbPress theme (bbPress New UI), and it does help a little with the issue.

If you want contact me, and I can help you with most of the styling issues you are facing.

No where near that many replies. Here is forum I’m trying to import: http://www.maddengurus.com/forums/forum.php

So last night I remembered I made a backup in Updraftplus plugin before I tried ever imported anything into bbpress, and so I restored it, ran the import as a fresh import, and it seemed like it all worked and then ran into the problem I posted about here: https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=168081/

So I restored the wordpress database again, and this time decided to check off the purging option just to be safe, and it’s back to doing trying to delete stuff into the millions, ie: Deleting previously converted data (1342100 – 1342199), etc.

So apparently even restoring to a backup before all this happened wasn’t enough to get a fresh start.

[Robkk]

Some emails could be caught in a spam folder. so maybe try installing this plugin to fix that by not using bcc. Also this functionality might make it into core someday.

Also know that the subscribe turns into an unsubscribe link. If you are subscribed to the topic, it says Unsubscribe. If you are not subscribed to a topic, it says Subscribe.
