Thanx
i tried with various bbpress and wp roles. I tried deactivated all my plugins but bbpress. I will now try the permalink rewrite.
When i do a Tool > Forum and i use the reset, i get conversion table failed. all the other resets works. (if that info can help)
The permalink flush didn’t work either.
Did you try flushing your permalinks and possilbly checking if it is a plugin issue?
Troubleshooting
Also check if the users role is in fact have participant forum role.
The forum used to be private, I deleted everything, redownloaded the pluging and made a public forum.
I believe i cleared my cache correctly.
I believe the bbPress template was indeed modified for my theme. Is there a way i can delete all those modifications ?
Does it work fine using a default theme?
Have you cleared some cache/set up caching correctly?
Do the forums have a hidden status?
Did you copy and modify the bbPress templates in your theme heavily?
I looked in the source code and I see no Open Graph tags on your bbPress pages, and it all seems to be working fine to me.
Hi,
I’m sorry if this has been asked 1000x times before. I did find many topics about this problem, and tried many of the listed solutions, but nothing seems to work for me.
I’m runnning the following website : nanomamnews.com on wordpress 4.3 with bbpress 2.5.8 which i believe is the most recent versions available.
Only the keymaster role can see the public forums. Any other role can’t see anything and falls on a 404 page.
I run a custom theme. I tried the repair and reset tools. I tried messing around with the user capabilities, both in wordpress and using various plugins.
Please help me fix this bug, or make a link that points to the solution very clearly, because it seems to be a very recurrent pain with bbpress.
I’m looking to have a set of capabilities and roles that works. I can fine tune the permissions later on, but i think it’s crazy that only keymaster has access to the forums.
Creating topics from posts in an RSS feed is probably possible with the FeedWordPress plugin, you may have to make sure you configure it correctly for bbPress though.
Turning bbPress into a feed aggregator or a re-aggregator is a great idea to bring discussion into your forums.
How the imported content is presented and how much of it you are importing could be crucial to user engagement to your site though.
Try not to steal some other sites posts though.
Hello,
I wish I could make my bbpress invisible for non-members, so I tried to change my visibility setting to “private”, it didn’t change anything…
Then, I tried various plugins like Member Access or Members, and my forum is still public => http://prepahec-gaylussac.esy.es/forum
I guess my forum matters but i dunno what accurately: i checked the transients and every setting…
Any idea please ?
Thank’s,
Nicolas.
With a default theme as your active them , deactivate all plugins but bbPress then see if the issue is still present.
An update to any of the plugins could cause issues with bbPress.
Start activating the plugins the kleo theme support suggested one by one, then go from there to see what is causing an issue.
Try this.
Create a child theme if you haven’t already, and copy the bbPress template files into your child theme.
This guide will tell you what folders containing files you can copy over into your theme.

Do not mess with any of the bbPress plugin files in the plugins folder. Remember that if you do modify anything in the core plugin files of bbPress, it will be lost next update.
Any custom CSS like the snippet I gave you, you place into your child themes CSS stylesheet or into a custom css plugin.
There’s no link to the forums setup after update.
Kleo theme support :
“1 – Do not enable group forms for buddypress. As it states, use bbpress. So, dont change anything there. Leave it the way it is.
2 – In every case I’ve seen, a plugin conflict causes a menu item to disappear. Disable all of your plugins except k-elements, visual composer, buddypress and bbpress. The forum menu item should return. If it does start enabling your plugins one by one until you find the conflicting plugin.”
Your caching plugin is still enabled though. Clear your cache and disable it. If forums doesnt come back, then temporarily enable the 2015 Theme. If its still doesnt show up, then its not Kleo and you’ll have to ask over on the bbpress forum.
Active Plugins:
bbPress, BuddyPress, K Elements, WPBakery Visual Composer.
Hi,
I’ve tried to use the forum converter and it does import the board, but it isn’t importing users. Is there something special I need to to to get the user account migrated over?
It’s giving me this error
WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.msn' in 'field list']
Thanks for the help.
Hi
Please help, the bbpress search widgets bring up everything but my forum topics and replies, it also seems to replicate the results many times over, some 76 pages worth of repeated results.
I have search sor a solution to no end, and have narrowed it down to be a problem with my theme, as it works perfectly on a default wp theme, my theme developer isn’t responding to any request for support unfortunately, is there anyone here who could help me figure this out.
Please.
@robkk
The bbpress plugin has 4 css files. I’ve inserted that css code into all 4 and the problem remains.
it would work like this though
#bbpress-forums .community .bbp-author-role {
background-color: blue;
}
or
#bbpress-forums .team .bbp-author-role {
background-color: yellow;
}
I just tested on my test site, and I do not really see an issue with the OG tags. Maybe there is something else. You may need to try some troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
No no, the meta tags work fine, but I don’t need this tags. And when I disable this tags in Yoast plugin, the bbpress Forum will not work. It shows me the blank page.
Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already, check your cache(this includes browser cache if the main browser you use is safari).

I use WordPress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.8. The theme version is Fount 3.6.
Oh I know what you are talking about know. The having to login again threw me off a bit. I think you were logged in, but just didnt redirect to wp-admin. You could of easily from the WordPress Toolbar went to the admin area from there.
When you log into your site you are redirected to the homepage, but you want to be redirected to the dashboard.
There is something in bbPress that might be causing redirecting users to the homepage, like for the bbPress login form.
This can be very easily fixed by installing Peters Login Redirect plugin. Install it, configure who/what roles you want to be redirected to wp-admin.
If you do not need a plugin I think a small function could easily fix the issue also.
Well thing is having meta tags shouldn’t really affect bbPress at all. And I was figuring it may be how something is configured in their plugin that is causing issues.
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />
Or are you saying that the meta tags do not work on bbPress forums, but the bbPress forums work fine??
Hello,
I am trying to get a sidebar to show in BBpress and it won’t appear. The forum main page is located here:
http://aespeakers.com/forums/
Under the “forums” page editor I have tried selecting both “default” and “right sidebar” as templates. I have Custom Sidebars installed which works fine now for other pages and the online store. The issue here is that I cannot get ANY sidebar to show in bbpress even if custom sidebars is disabled.
Page layout is set to have Right Sidebar. In the sidebars section I can select from Main Sidebar or bbPress Sidebar but neither will show in this case. The sidebar also does not show in the archive, individual forums, or topics within the forums.
I am using WP 4.3 running the SmartMag Theme. It seems this should work as it is shown working here.
