I was able to pin it down a bit more. I discovered that this was happening only when the woocommerce shop page was set as Front page in the WordPress Reading Settings. How come? Beats me, but when I selected another page as front page the Forums shows up. Beside that I have a topic out at Woocommerce that the pagination is not working properly. When the shop page is set as front page, the second and any other product page I want to go to takes me to a wrong page. So it looks like it is a permalink issue caused by one of the plugins.

However I definitely want the shop page as my front page. So I had to find a work around. I downloaded a page redirect plugin called Page Links To, created a new page and named it Start. There is no content on that page, I only set the redirect. Selected this page as the static Front page an it all works.

I have my shop page at front, the woocommerce pagination works and the bbPress forums are showing.

Of course the real issue is not solved so please do investigate and let me know.

Anyone know if this still works with the newest versions of bbPress and MyBB?

I think this plugin does this backwards.

Looks like it has something to do with comments and forum posts not exactly what Im looking for.

The way Id like this to work is when I create a post on my blog, a forum post will created as well.

Thx

while activating the BB Wysiwyg Editor.

m using bbpress 1.2

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

But then how on earth do all these other massive BBPress installations (like the one we’re on right now) cope?

Hey,

I meant adding a background similar to that we have here on bbpress.org forums (boxed up), the code u gave me just adds an ugly green background – http://imgur.com/ps2CL3l

So, I’m creating a website, looking to have a nice forums section, And of course I install the bbPress plugin onto my wordpress site. Here’s the problem. Once I do this and activate the plugin my main navigation menu becomes erred out with the following error displaying:
“Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /misc/39/000/056/879/2/user/web/hubhao.com/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php on line 403”

So, when I disabled the plugin my main navigation menu went back to normal. What’s going on here? What can/should I look at to fix this issue?

Thank you Robkk,

The bbPress is working perfectly in my child theme without having a bbPress.php file included in the theme at all, so I’m happy with it all now.

I guess I mis understood the codex instructions or more likely was trying to make things more complicated than need be (i specialize in that).

your reply helps me understand how it should be done. thanks!

[–Q–Shadows]

The title says it all.

The miniture avatars that appear in forum index or New Topics page along with the author are being displayed too big as shown in pics here – http://imgur.com/RsoPg6f & http://imgur.com/TY8qULe

However the image displays proper within any reply.

Would really appreciate if someone could solve this issue.

PS> I initially had this issue when using bbpress with WP User Avatar plugin, but then I removed it and went with BuddyPress and I still seem have the same issue.

Thankx in advance.

Regards.

Thanks! This helped. It was actually a plugin that somehow conflicted with bbPress.

[Robkk]

this might work

Thanks for the plugin info…although this is something that bbpress should change (correct) without using any plugin. When one logs into the admin (dashboard), they should redirect to the dashboard, regardless if bbpress is installed.

[Robkk]

yeah WPML and bbPress have some compatiblity issues

you should also search the WPML forums and post to the WPML forums if you need some support from them.

[Robkk]

@smwln

usually creating the bbpress.php file and removing the about author code should fix it

@korobochkin

id say use his https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress

I was able to point it down to WPML. When I activate the Multilingual CMS Plugin I see the custom Post Types dissappear. Searching the internet I discovered a bbPress Multilingual bridge plugin. I downloaded this plugin from GitHub an installed it. The Custom Post Types appears as they should.

From this point on I was very optimistic but….
It is virtually impossible to show the forum. It comes all down to permalink settings and page settings. When I select my WooCommerce shop page as the static front page (what I want) the forum is not visible. It redirects immediately to the front page. When I select no page as front page the forum appears when clicked on the menu item. Beats me! I’m pulling my hair out. Argggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[Robkk]

i dont think this is a bbpress issue.

try switching your theme to a default theme like twenty twelve

or see if a plugin is causing the issue , deactivate every plugin but bbpress if that fixes the issue reactivate them one at a time to see what plugin might be causing the issue.

[Robkk]

if your issue is really the same issue as the one in the trac ticket i think you would have to wait til bbpress 2.6 comes out.

[Robkk]

ok so copy page.php and rename the copied version to bbpress.php and make sure its at the root of your theme with the page.php file and single.php file and see if it works.

you can test it out by removing the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> code and see if the sidebar is removed only on bbpress pages and posts.

Hi,
I’m using bbPress 2.5.4 on WP 4.1 with Time theme, and when I go to my forums root page a very annoying text suddenly stretches my footer mile long.
It goes like this: “At [website title], the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us (See this article to learn more about Privacy Policies.). This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information is received and collected by [website title] and how it is used.

Log Files

Like many other Web sites….”

How do I get rid of this? I went through all the settings, even checked my pages, found nothing whatsoever.
My footer has 3 columns with widgets, and a page widget (using it for a logo image only, no text) is being replaced with this damn text on the forums root page. All other pages display the correct widget. I retested it 3 times, this damn text replaces any “page” widget I add to my footer, and if I add multiple widgets with different pages in them, they all get replaced by the same text multiple times!
I never saw this text until I installed bbPress and went to the forums root page. I couldn’t find it in my database either so it must be in some files?

@markf1

at the very top you posted code for your bbpress.php file

it isnt suppose to have code for the bbpress archive-forum.php file it is suppose to be similar to the themes page.php file nothing else.

maybe you doing the bbpress.php file incorrectly caused the issue.

[Adri Oosterwijk]

I had not try to install and run bbPress without other plug ins.

I deactivate any other plug in and switched to the default twentytwelve theme.

Now it works.
So I have to find out wicht plugin or what part of the child theme is causing this issue.
Thanks for now and I will get back when I know more.

[Robkk]

good find on the plugin Doug this is something that might be pretty useful if hooked up to work with the newest version of bbPress.

[Robkk]

okay i think i got this

install the bbpress topics for posts plugin

you can go to your discussion settings and edit what you want to show how you like i did like this

i ticked the ones with [X]

[ ] Create a new bbPress topic in ~~~ for new posts
(check this if you want to replace wordpress comments with bbpress entirely)

[X] Copy post tags to new topics

[X] Copy post comments to new topics (when available)

On the post page, show:

[ ] Entire topic

[X] show reples only

[ ] Only the ~~~ most recent/oldest replies

[ ] A link to the topic

the rest of the settings are for if you want to display a link below your blog post to lead to the topic.

create your page called “Learn Dash” if you already did , edit the page

go to the screen options in the very top , click it , now check discussion settings this should show the settings for comments, pinkbacks, and bbpress topics for posts.

check the Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post option

now check both settings that say copy post tags and use default display settings.

now either use a specific topic from the id , or automatically create a topic from this post to a specific forum.
