i have the mobile theme for jetpack enabled, but it might be conflicting with bbpress. Whenever I go to the forums on my phone, it starts to load in the “mobile” version, then it goes blank and reloads in the “non mobile” version. Is there something in the coding that conflicts with jetpack? It doesn’t happen on any of my other pages or posts, just the forums. My site is goingfor2.com and the forums are are goingfor2./forums. Thank you.
This is caused because bbPress is rendering a certain template in your theme , this happens to be a template that is full width without a sidebar.
Is your theme a premium theme or a free theme??
If it is free, I can check it out and tell you what you need to do.
If it is premium , the theme authors will have to help you as I cannot just buy a theme just to test it.
see if this guide can help you though?? It tells you about modifying the main template , you can use this to put the sidebar back in.
If you have any questions about it or suggested improvements please let me know.

I just translated my test site into German, I don’t see an issue??
As long as you have the latest active versions files it should work.
Did you get your .po and .mo files from here??

bbPress Moderation uses this function:
bbp_notify_topic_subscribers( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id );
On this transition-hook:
add_action( ‘pending_to_publish’, array( $this, ‘pending_to_publish’ ), 10, 1 );
But it seems that it will not work properly..
Hello there, hope you’re well..
Has anybody a working solution for the following issue?
Newest WP and bbPress, last version of bbPress Moderation.
If bbPress Moderation is active, it will deactivate users subscription to a topic, after status from a pending reply of this user is changed to publish. It deactivate both possibilities: subscription on top and it uncheck the email notification status inside the bbp-form.
I tried to deactivate all other plugins, but it will not work, too.
Is anybody out there with a tip or a working solution ?
Thank you and best regards
Hello,
I have WordPress 4.2.2 with bbPress 2.5.7, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1, and bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.8.1 and WP SMTP.
Everything is working fine except for the Email Notifications from the forums. I really need to get this to work. I’ve tried various permissions changes, etc. WordPress itself works fine and when I send test emails, they come through, but I don’t get the auto-notifications.
Can anybody help???
Thanks

If I use the bbPress import tool to import the database of an existing phpBB board, will it pull over the users and their passwords or will it require new usernames and passwords for everyone who signs up? I’m concerned that old posts won’t be attributable to their original posters.
Hi
I’m creating a site which has a green/blue background and I need to change to colours of the forums as the text is white and can’t be seen.
Can anyone point me to where I need to go to change this please?
Link to my site
Thanks

Hi Rob,
Regarding the bbpress part, I could see that the filter used bbp_get_topic_content in fact helps to modify the reply before displaying it. In fact I need to save the edited reply in the database. This is required because the making the URL no clickable is needed only for specific user roles.
So can you please let me know if we have any action or filter which acts on the reply before it gets saved to the DB and thus save the modified one in DB!
Thanks!

Hello!
I successfully implemented the code put up here – New Topics so as to show a new tag next to a topic in forum. But as per this link, the new tag will flash until 3 days. I would want to modify it such that the tag disappears once a user replies to the topic. Is there any function to get this functionality?
Thanks!

Can someone help me?
I just downloaded and installed bbpress.
I have set language in wp_config.php to de_DE.
In WordPress unter Settings/Language is set also to German.
Why does backend and frontend still show up in English?
What else do I need to configure?
The title pretty much says it all. I would like to replace the forum role (ex: Participant) with the WordPress role (ex: Member) when a user starts a new a topic or replies. I want the bbPress roles to barely be seem by any of my members. Keep in mind, I am very limited with my coding skills so please be as detailed as possible, thanks!
I did some testing and found the following plugin was the only one preventing me from seeing the Forum option in the dashboard menu. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it so I can have both active at the same time?
Find and Replace
Version 2.0 | By Ramon Fincken, Bas Bosman
I assume that something in the Find and Replace plugin, which adds its own option in the dashboard menu, is blocking the BBPress menu item from displaying.
Hi Stephen,
I think I’ve read about every post on importing a phpBB forum into bbpress, but to no avail. I have managed to find above info in the php.config file and used these in the import settings in bbpress import (I was quite sure I finally found what I was looking for, because I first used user:’root’ and password ‘root’), but I’m getting the exact same result as above: “no users to convert. no passwords to clear, etc. etc.
This is what is running:
I have bbpress 2.5.7 No forums created
WP version 4.2.2
phpBB 3.0.x
Clean install of MAMP 3.2.1.
This is what I did:
I made an export of the phpBB database to be imported.
I am running MAMP
Created a new database on MAMP with the same name as the exported one, then imported the database into MAMP
Use ‘localhost’ on port 3306 (same as on MAMP) and dbname, user, password and prefix as found in the php.config file from the phpBB install.
No luck: “no users to convert. no passwords to clear”, etc. etc…
Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Also, I’m running Frontier theme if it matters. I have two websites. I had installed BBPress on one months ago before I swapped to Frontier and that one installed fine. However, I had deactivated. Now that I’m using Frontier there and I tried reinstalling it, the same thing happens: no option to add forums in the dashboard.
Sorry about that, I did not intend to insult anyone, French is my first language and maybe that sound worst that I intended it to be.
For the update you could add a line to check for buddypress xprofiles and check this field instead of the bbpress one :
xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );
sorry again about that.
The bbp-signature plugin is designed to work with bbpress not with buddypress, so it works fine – I’ve amended your original post to reflect that for future users in the first post to save them needing to read the whole thread.
But the code wasn't too terrible
General open software etiquette is not to insult other software authors, we are all at different levels and any software that works is useful 🙂
The original author of this software is unable to continue supporting it, so I have access to it so that it can continue.
I think it was made to work with buddypress groups whitout xprofiles yes. A simple update could fix that.
If you’d care to suggest code that would make it work for users with and without buddypress, please contact me via my website, as I’d love to include it in the plugin

Your site is not available so I can’t have a look.
If you’re using a custom theme with ‘theme options’ you need to look at the settings there to see if the default setting is with a sidebar, your forum will use this default page unless you create templates specially for it.
Here’s some info on the templates that bbpress looks for in your theme:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Usually using page.php in most themes, so you could try opening up your page.php, remove the code that includes a sidebar, then save it as bbpress.php
It is really annoying that no one seems to bother…..
bbPress is at this time not showing in the backend of the site, it does in the front end but in a wrong way.
So this afternoon, it stopped showing my topics to my participants too. I went to my staging install and I deactivated every plug-in other than bbPress. The 502 error was still there. So, I deleted the entire forum with all topics and replies. The 502 error was still there. I changed the theme and the error was still there. Is there something else that I can try? I really don’t want to start over and it doesn’t appear that will help anyway.
hello, sorry i already tryed everything about this issues,
i can’t get full width on my forum page
