alight , i knew it was that CSS code for sure but i didnt know for sure if it was for something cool in your theme.
the original code i posted shouldve worked all i did was add an CSS ID so that it would only show for bbPress , because that is where the issue was.
Hi
I am new bbPress. I’m using WP 4.1.1 and 2.5.6-5643 bbPress.
I need your help.
My question is this:
I (Superadmin) I created 2 forums (ForumA, ForumB)
I also discharged manually 2 users with role Moderator (UserA, UserB).
How do I set that is UserA will be the only moderator for ForumA,
and UserB to ForumB
Thank You
@nolimit966
if this was caused because you were editing your files.
you would need to backtrack and see what you did to cause the issue.
i reccommend downloading/make a backup of your edited bbPress templates so you can keep track of all your edits.
then add the default templates to your child again and redo your customizatinos.
if this could be something else only thing i can think of is using these two plugins from Robin and see if they help with your issue.
bbpress wp4 fix2
bbpress wp4 fix
1. you can add a custom link to your forums in the menu section of your site.
2. Well since bbPress is a WordPress plugin most of the Content Management is done through the WordPress back-end. To manage the users in the back-end of WordPress you would have to go to users > all users. For them or you to edit their bbPress profile they could go to the front-end by defalt should be yoursite.com/forums/users/username/edit/.
to manage bbPress specific settings go to settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress.
if you need anymore help come back.

i think just like the standard WordPress search form the bbPress search form only searches title and content but only for bbPress custom post types (forums,topics,replies).
both searchforms arent that great by default but you could enhance it with this plugin
For a more enhanced searchform for bbPress ive seen users use this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/
i have also seen a site just use the google custom search engine provided by google to search through their site.
But to use this properly you would have to allow bbPress custom post types to be searchable in all your site search.
I attempted deactivating the plugin, and it took my entire site offline! Trying to load any page just gives a blank screen – no error message, no code. I reactivated the plugin, but the forum menus in admin are no longer there, so I can’t run the “reset forums” that people have mentioned.
This is a production site, with 8000+ hits daily, so I’m not able to start deactivating plugins and changing themes like other posts have suggested.
Help?
Not quite sure what you are ‘ping’ing?
I thought your last post was an answer to your own question.
bbpress search searches forums only.
hmmm.. I have been playing with my car’s engine, and now it makes a funny sound – can you tell me what I have done wrong?
Sorry, I’ll try to help but hopefully my silly sentence above will help you understand why this might be difficult.
bbpress doesn’t have a theme, so do you mean you have been changing the bbpress plugin, or making changes to your wordpress theme?
it should show the last reply time
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Solved!
Deactivated Role Editor plugin.
Installed and activated Members plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
(Permissions changed with Role Editor remained.)
Added, for Author role, with Members plugin, the following permission:
read_hidden_forums
That seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps other people with the same problem while bbPress developers don’t fix the bug.
I’ve tried workaround suggested by @mjpg but it’s had no effect at all!
I’ve edit role for one of the users, with general Author and bbPress Participant roles. Then activated:
read_private_forums
read_private_replies
read_private_topics
And it had no effect: topics inside private forums remained invisible for that user!
Than I tried and activated also, in the main roles section, the following:
read_private_pages
read_private_posts
And, still no effect!
🙁
I’m having a similar problem. And I must tell Andre that, yes, it seems a bug and is not intended to be that way. As you can read at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant they are supposed to read private forums. My private users (with participant role) can see the private forums and navigate through them and their sub-forums, but all topics (on private forums and also on private sub-forums inside private forums) there is a message that no topic has been found. If I just give them upper permissions (Moderator), then they can see all the topics on these forums and alos reply, etc.
So I think it’s truely a bug. Strange to me that it’s been around for some months without being fixed 🙁
BTW, I’m using bbPress as a plugin within a WP installation.
Hi,
I’ve recently been making changes to my BBpress theme, (im new to php) and I have no idea what I have done but my forum users now cannot see the first post in a new thread. They can see the topic, click into it, but then the first main post does not appear.
Does anyone know which .php file I need to fix to get this working again?
Thank you
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed bbpress plugin and I have created a forum with multiple topics and replies from my wordpress dashboard. However, I am unable to do any of this from my forum page directly. I have looked in the common functions php file and can see that there is a filter for reverse proxies as i thought it might issue as I have seen this whilst searching posts for a solution. I am using Mamp and running server on port localhost:8888. Can anyone help me solve this issue please. My website is not public at the mo but i have tried to open the ports to my machine in the hope that you can access it. here is the url: http://88.107.65.111:8888/brighton-and-hove-school/wordpress3
Many thanks
Billy
Like Dropbox https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions
we would like to include a button at top right of forum page to post a question or idea.
Topic options would be provided as a dropdown list for the user to select from.
The user would provide title of question or idea and more details if required.
Title and topic would be required fields, more details would be optional.
Like this: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/new
Is this possible with shortcodes or can some tell me how to accomplish this. Our wordpress version 4.1.1 and bbPress version is 2.5.6
Thanking you in advance for any help
We would like to have our forum looking like https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions.
That is:
A link to view All Topics at the top of page for each Forum followed by
Links to Newest, Recommended and Following topics.
Can anyone tell me how to do this.
Wordpress version is 4.1.1 and bbPress is version 2.5.6
Thanking you in advance.
I use wordpress 4.1.1
bbpress 2.5.6
When a register user try to make a topic and when click submit, get this error
The page isn’t redirecting properly
But the topic is ok.
Any idea?
regards
Hello,
this is how it looks today:


the words ware not in one row. I would like to improve the appearance. Thatswhy i want to have all words in one row and the button left or maybe centered.
But i don’t know how to realize it.
Regards
Yes, this is very strange.
I’ve placed the link for my forum and for my “test” topic below. I’ve been searching with the word “Wellsville” as that is unique to topic below. All it returns is the newest blog post which does not have Wellsville in it anywhere.
My standard search within WordPress works as it should. Should the bbPress search be limited to the forum? That would be good.

Hi, I have just installed bbpress to have a forum functionality in our website. However, when I tried to create a topic or reply to existing topic/post, the text editor seems to be disabled until I click on the editor buttons. There is no error in the console.
Here’s our website
Hi, it doesn’t change.
I also tried this:
#bbpress-forums #top ul:first-child > li > a {

Users are reporting an error when logging in using the bbPres login widget:
Warning: require_once(/home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/example.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php on line 1705

I noticed that the filename is different in the referenced location, it has a capital letter in Example.php When I change the filename it resolves the issue.
Why does it need to reference the Example.php converter anyway?
Good day house, please can anyone help me with this, i have created a forum using bbpress but when user click on register, the register page opens but once you fill your username and email, the wordpress admin page opens saying check your email for your password.
Please i don’t want the wordpress login page to show to my user when they subscribe to my forum and secondly when the password is being sent to the user via their email, the sender ID is wordpress, is there no way i can customize the sender to be my site name?
Thank you
