Hello,
I have a question about bbpress forum.
I would like to close one of my forums (that is to say users can not create new topics inside this forum) but I need that the topics previously created before are still open.

Exemple:
Forum (close: Impossible to create new topic)
— Topic (open: Possible to answer)
— Topic (open: Possible to answer)

PS: I would like to do this only for one forum (all my other forums should be open)

Thank you very much
Yoann

Hello Robin, in bbpress replies folder, i have a php file functions.php. When i edit this file, in bbp_new_topic_handler i have this function

// Nonce check
if ( ! bbp_verify_nonce_request( 'bbp-new-topic' ) ) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_topic_nonce', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Are you sure you wanted to do that?', 'bbpress' ) );
return;
}

I think that it’s the problem.

But shouldn’t registered members be able to create forums too?

Not for many/most sites.

However if you want to add that capability

Hi Rob,
I’ve had a similar unresolved problem for a while – that being the HTML and Search buttons are illegible. I’ve downloaded your bbpress stylepack and changing the button background/font colours makes no difference!?
Using Canvas with various plugins which I’ve tried disabling.
Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I’m having some strange issues since this weekend, a weekend without anything happening on the server or installation side.

BBPress version: 2.5.7
Wordpress: 4.2.2 Avada theme

Problem 1:
When i want to a edit a topic, as moderator or as superuser, and press save or submit, the form won’t save. Changes are not visible most of the times, after several atempts it works but most of the time it doesnt. When pressing save it returns me back to the topic as is should, but without the changes I made.

Problem 2:
Is a bit the same as editing. When I create a new topic and press submit, it doesnt show up in my topic list (not on the user site, nor on the admin back-end). After several atempts, it creates a topic.

The problem isnt there when i create or edit a topic in the back-end (the WP dashboard), as superuser or moderator.

I hope someone can help me out!

The website is kb.bee-connected.nl but it is behind a password.

I am running bbPress 2.5.7 with WP 4.2.2

WPengine support said this was a segmentation fault issue and not a time-out issue.

“A standard 502 is a timeout when waiting for a request, while a segmentation fault is a failure to execute properly. I’d recommend reaching out to bbpress to take a look or provide any common causes, as it may be as simple as a conflicting plugin/theme.”

I added the WANGguard plug-in the day before this happened, but when I deactivated it, the problem persisted.

Here is my forum site:

ok, now applyting this CSS did the trick

.bbpress #content {
width: 100%;
}
.bbpress #widgets {
display: none;
}

but now it is too to the right, is there a way to center it?

[husk3r]

ok, i made a mistake with the namee bbpress .php , changed to bbpress.php and now it is using the bbpress.php template, again ive removed the <?php get_sidebar(‘page’); ?> but it is still not full width

the code is like this

<?php
/*
Template Name: bbpress
*/

get_header(); ?>
<div class=”stump”>
<div class=”container topborder”></div>
<div class=”container contentarea”>
<div class=”row animated fadeInUp”>
<div id=”content” class=”col-md-8 col-sm-8″>
<?php get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘page’); ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>

</div>
</div>

<div class=”container bottomborder”></div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

[husk3r]

I did that, using the plugin my theme was using the page.php , so I copied it to my themes directory, and renamed it to bbpress.php

i have removed the <?php get_sidebar(‘page’); ?> from the code in the template but it is still not full width, and when I use the plugin again , it says that it still uses the page.php
even when Ive selected the bbpress template in the page that contains the forums shortcode

I have set up a website for a local horticultural society with a forum restricted to society members. For the forum, I’m using bbpress; for the membership registration I’m using Simple WordPress Membership. I’m using the customizr theme and the latest version of WordPress. My problem is that, with our 1st topic, the first reply is hidden. I cannot find a way of unhiding it. I’ve posted a reply myself, which is visible, and tried reposting the text of the hidden reply. When I do this, I get van email altering me to the reply but still nothing is visible on the website. Please can someone help? The website is http://www.growchiswick.org.

Many thanks,

Jo Hodges

in the page, ive chosen this template.

Sorry you need to put this template into a bbpress directory – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

the bbpress authors believe this is a wordpress issue, so are waiting for them to fix

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.

and

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

Whilst it is annoying with debug turned on, it is not a fatal error and goes away when debug turned off as it should be for production sites

[husk3r]

hello, i am using bbpress in a page with the shortcode.
Ive managed to remove the sidebar creating a template which code is as follows ;
——————————————————————————-
<?php
/*
Template Name: Forums
*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id=”primary” class=”site-content-forums”>
<div id=”content” role=”main”>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ ); ?>
<?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!– #content –>
</div><!– #primary –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
——————————————————————-
and then applying this custom CSS

#site-content-forums {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

in the page, ive chosen this template.

BUT the forum still is not full width
please help me!!

Hey @jezza101 – any updates on your Android app for bbPress?

[billreefer]

All searches for ‘user guide for bbpress’ are all about us…how to set it up. But is there a real user guide resource for users of our sites that could be referenced in a help section for our members or in a support forum (for both bbpress and buddy press)

[Robin W]

try adding

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'old text2' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text2';
	}

	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

to your functions file. The wording needs to be exact including caps and punctuation

I need to change the subscribe button text and also this “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”

I have tried adding the feedback-no-forums.php to /mytheme/bbpress/ but its not overwriting the defaul and I can find now way to change the subscribe text.

Any ideas?

[bsilverop]

Having the same issue here. I just enabled SMTP Postman to fix problems with mail being marked spam or not delivered at all. It works great, but now all bbPress emails that used to work fine are being sent to “noreply@mydomain.com”. I don’t mind a bounce email, but they’re not being delivered to the actual users. Just a single email is being generated with noreply@mydomain.com in the To field and nothing else.

[Robin W]

which theme are you using?

Have you tried the two methods in 3

and looked at no. 8 in the same bit

[samuel-guzman]

I just installed bbpress on a brand new site. I have created a couple of test forums and topics. On the forum root it shows that there are topics and posts in the forums. However, when I click on a specific forum to view the topics, I get the following message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

By way of troubleshooting, I tried another WordPress theme. It worked, and the forums displayed as they should. Is there a way I can keep my current WordPress theme from conflicting with bbpress? I have no idea what is causing the conflict, only that it is being caused by the theme I am using. I don’t want to change themes, either.
