Thanks for your reply.
I have looked at this in a bit more detail but not got anywhere!
As you suggested I compared two topics for a topic imported vs one entered and the differences don’t seem relevant (e.g. no ip address for the imported ones etc.). I also looked at the records from the postmeta table for the two topics and again don’t think there are relevant differences though again no ip address for the imported, 0 for _bbp_reply_count for the imported.
So no luck there.
I tried looking at the code of bbpress.php but could not work out how it picked up the count or incremented it.
Interestingly I also tried using the shortcode [bbp-stats] in a test page and that reported the correct number of topics despite the individual forum count being incorrect! How can that be?

Hi Robin and thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. I’ve been trying using both the admin account and another normal user account. Even using the link to “topics created” it doesnt display the topics created by that user. Same for subscriptions.
Using the standard bbPress profile instead everything working properly but of course, I need to have those links as woocommerce Endpoints

do you have any idea about how to fix it please?

[Robin W]

In had a quick look at the code above and the call

include get_theme_file_path( '/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-subscriptions.php' );

is looking for that file in your theme, not the bbpress plugin.

as a test, create a directory in your child theme called ‘woo-bbpress’ (it can be called anything) and put a copy of the user-subscriptions in there

then replace then above with

include get_theme_file_path( '/woo-bbpress/user-subscriptions.php' );

and see if that improves

Im using the last bbPress version, and twenty-twenty theme. All fine!
But I need to integrate bbpress with woocommerce in a custom woocommerce dashboard we made, so basically I have to link all bbpress profile links (Topic created, Replies, Engagement…) as Woocommerce Endpoints.

All set up but the problem is the links not showng the correct user information but : “Oh Bother, no topics found here!”. Despite the user has created topics , followed or subscribed.

This is the code I put for the Subscription Endpoint for instance:

add_action( 'init', 'wpsh_subscriptions_endpoint' );
function wpsh_subscriptions_endpoint() {
	add_rewrite_endpoint( 'subscriptions', EP_ROOT | EP_PAGES );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_account_subscriptions_endpoint', 'subscriptions_endpoint_content' );
function subscriptions_endpoint_content() {
	include get_theme_file_path( '/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-subscriptions.php' );
}

so, any suggestions please? 🙂

Hi there,

Since I installed the GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin I no longer see my WordPress media library.
I deactivated the plugin and it comes back but cannot find the parameter in the plugin to reactivate it.
I need your help.

Thanks.

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

[jason_hayes]

How do I create the basic installation so that it looks like the screenshot on the homepage. I just want a basic bbpress installation out of the box. Not sure how to do it. Do I need to create a specific homepage and add widgets?

[MarkOlbert]

Here’s a link to an image showing the problem:

https://arcabama-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/p/mark/EZfzqhgx5xRMusyrijDIZKsB3mSPnHOC5A4bnTAffVZARQ?e=PIgduh

But I think your comment about those css classes not being part of bbPress are an important clue.

They are probably defined in the theme rather than customizable through bbPress, so you suggested css additions should work. I’ll give it a try and let you know what happens.

[Robin W]

ast-button and ast-custom-button are not classes belonging to bbpress

[Robin W]

but many themes don’t need a child theme for bbpress, just depends on how they have been written.

[jaymaddireddy]

Robin, It seems it is possible to have main site with theme and have a child theme with one of the approved themes of bbpress. Can you please suggest how AssociationX can be made as child theme?

Thank you,

Jay M

[Robin W]

ok, I can see it now.

Best I can suggest is

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 8

otherwise beyond free help I’m afraid

[Robin W]

quite happy to take a quick look, but as you already know this looks like a theme issue,. not bbpress

[jaymaddireddy]

Good afternoon,
I installed bbpress successfully and created a few forum entries.
also added a few test topics.

It displays fine: https://www.dealtimer.com/forums
Also, it displays one of the forum entries with a list of topics fine at
https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/forum/auto-dealer-csi-boosting-ideas
However, when I click one of the topics, it shows a content area blank below the header…
I changed the theme, and it works fine to show topic details and reply..
I even added a single page with a shortcode to display the topic, thinking that the CSS conflicts, it shows fine at https://www.dealtimer.com/single-topic-page.html
However, from the list of topics to browse the topic content, it fails.
When I looked at it, it even called content-single-topic.php code, however, I do not see bbp-container content being supplied to add a topic information page…

Do you have any idea about debugging this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help,

Jay M

I am using WordPress 6.1.1 and bbPress 2.6.9.
I have a forum where if I use the standard forum page e.g. mysite.com/forum/members-forum there are no problems and pagination of the large number of topics works correctly producing a URL of say mysite.com/forum/members-forum/page/3/
However, I wish to have a page with some other content at the to so are using a short-code to list the forum topics. The URL for that page is mysite.com/members-forum. However, on this page pagination does not work. The URL for the third page is mysite.com/members-forum/page/3/ but this produces an error 404.
I have tried various solutions found from others having a similar problem including: using a standard theme, resaving the permalink setting, adding a bp-custom.php file with some code in it etc. but it still fails.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

[Vivian E]

@Robin-w I don’t think you understood my question. If someone is not logged and is looking through a forum topic there is a bbpress login form at the button. how do I remove or hide that?

[Vivian E]

@Robin-w how do I disable the user login form that shows when the user is not logged in? I use the bbpress style park is there a way to disable it from there??

[Vivian E]

@Robin-w thank you! it works! Please what’s the dynamic link. I can use to direct each and every user to their own BBpress profile?

[appleguideweb]

I have had bbPress installed on my website for sometime. However, without me realizing it, thousands of spam comments and messages have been posted on the few forums I have made. I had thought that Akismet was supposed to be cleaning things up, but I guess not. Now, it’s gotten to the point that my WordPress database has ballooned to over 8GB and my hosting provider wants me to fix it or they will take my site down.

That being said I have been trying to find a solution and thus far have come up empty handed. The problem is no matter how hard I try to delete the comments, both from the bbPress plugin on WP-Admin or by deleting the records from myPHPAdmin, the server locks up and the task cancels. I guess the server is not powerful enough for such a task. So, I downloaded a copy of the database to my local machine to try editing it there, and in this case I can’t find an app that can open .sql files and when I do there isn’t enough memory to open it.

Are there any other solutions? Is there a way to shrink the SQL database before opening it? How about splicing it into smaller batches? Is there a specific app, preferably free, that does a better job at managing large SQL databases?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@Robin-w A developer helped to look into it and found that the H1 tag is generated by this wordpress function https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/_wp_editors/wp_link_dialog/

He also helped to temporarily edict the H1 tag to a H3 tag by editing the core files to temporarily solve the redundant H1 tag.

We texted the site without the core files edicts and on trouble shoot mood using the Troubleshoot plugin you recommended. Leaving only the Bbpress plugin and wordpress default theme enabled. I noticed that the new Topic form does not have an editing tool bar even when I “enabled” the editing formatting tool bar” on Bbpress settings.

When I proceeded to turn on 2 plugins in troubleshoot mode; Brizy page builder and Bbpress with the wordpress default theme. I placed the Bbpress “new Topic form short code” on a Gutenberg page on the site, then noticed the New Topic form still shows on the Gutenberg page but without the editor tool bar!

When the Bbpress short code is placed on a Brizy page, the Bbpress editor tool bar appears but doesn’t function properly. For example; the insert/edict link form does not appear as a “pop up” when I am trying to create a link on a post, instead the insert/edict link form appears on the footer.

I don’t know why this is happening. help!

[MarkOlbert]

I can’t reduce the font size on the Forum/Topic Type/Topic Status dropdowns so they don’t get cut off. This is using bbp Style Pack.

I’m running Astra Pro with a child theme, Elementor Pro and WP Super Cache. I’ve cleared the cache, done a browser (Microsoft Edge) reload (ctrl F5) and the font size change doesn’t show up. All of the green background lines in “it’s not working” are green, as they should be.

WordPress 6.1.1
bbPress 2.6.9
bbp Style Pack 5.1.5

What else should I try?

[MarkOlbert]

I’ve set up a custom forums landing page using the bbp-forum-index short code. It works fine.

However, when a new entry is submitted (and probably if an existing entry is edited), clicking the Submit button sends me to a different page than the one I’ve set up. Specifically, it sends me to /forums…which simply displays “Blasts from the past” (that may be text I entered at some point in the setup process).

How do I configure things so that my custom page gets used instead? Alternatively, how do I edit the /forums page?

As you may have guessed by now I’m a new bbPress user :). My site runs the Astra Pro theme (with a customized child theme). I also run Elementor Pro on the site.

<?php
/**
 * bbpress file to emulate page.html to display forums

 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

block_template_part('header-small-dark');

wp_head();

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	?>

	<div class="bbpress-container bsp-fse-container">
		
		<div class="bbpress-content">
			<?php the_content(); ?>
		</div>
	</div>

<?php
endwhile;

?>

The only modifications I made were to remove the calling of the footer and adjusted the header to a variant that I created called “header-small-dark”. Oh, and also removed the call for the page title.

[Robin W]

can you post the final bbpress.php you created please
