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!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@supremor
if you are using this it says it does have bbpress compatibility
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/
other than that i say ditch captchas altogether and use bruteprotect or jp protect when its fused with jetpack.
yeah i am a little too
hmmm did you try bbpress by itself with no other plugins activated??
when you do try it by itself use a default theme like twentytwelve and see if we can find the issue.
you could get the product custom post type from woocommerce right??
@robin-w
they mostly communicate on SLACK especially a meeting on Wednesdays.. they do creep the forums sometimes though
Any idea how I can get this to the attention of one of the authors
@katiekat
you could go on slack in the #bbpress channel and notify @jjj , there was another user who had an issue with subscriptions and he might look into it.
Participate & Contribute
@robin-w you might as well check the slack channel too , especially on Wednesdays
It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).
Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.
Here is the offending SQL:
[9] => Array
(
[0] => SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_parent = 9 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
[1] => 19.448324918747
[2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
)
There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925
Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.
So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.
Any solution?
Thanks.
Thank you for your reply.
I installed through the wordpress installer ->from the plugins ->add new -> install.
Second attempt downloaded the zip, upload it to wordpress and activate it.
No functions added.
I’m using MAMP (for mac, obviously) with mySql and Apache.
Because I’m on a mac I never had to bother about drivers etc.
Other plugins are installing fine, except I had an issue in the last couple of days with the upgrade of WooCommerce in conjunction with the WPML plugin. That is solved. It was permalink related (content showed in English and was invisible in Dutch)
I have tried to remove the bbPress plugin and try to reinstall it to no avail.
I’m really puzzled here.
i think this plugin will help , just create you custom messages sent to the user to include all the information you want.

@crewockeez
its not a theme its a mock-up , never was a theme
it was a mockup for a website wanting suggestions for design changes from its forum users running bbPress standalone.
if you want someone to design it for you go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/
tell me everything you did during installation
especially if you added some functions to try to make it work
what local development area software are you using??
did you have all the requirements to run this software, (i had a problem with wamp not to long ago and it was because of a driver was missing)
can you install any other plugins fine??
you can try reinstalling bbPress and see if there was a problem during the first installation
Hi,
I posted this question in Buddypress forum but no answer so I try here.
In the “Discussion Forums” WordPress-Page (Global Forum) only Admins can see the threads for Private Group Forums they are members in. Normal Users only see the threads from Public Groups, but not from Private Groups they are member in. They have to go to the group forum page to see threads.
Is there a way to see these private topics in Global Forum for group members ?
(I know there is no option for that, but I’d like to modify the core to add manually 2-3 user-IDs who are allowed to see ALL topics like an admin in the global forum, I just want to know which line/file I could modify )
Note: I didn’t activate the bbpress, I use buddypress forum.
Thank you.
So a little more investigating and I am finding this dose NOT appear to be related to bbPress, it looks like my BLOGS are having the same issue.
This appears to be related to the permalink structure.
I currently have it set to “Post Name”
I’m going to read up a little more on this and see if I can come to some understanding.
After installation no items appears in WordPress Dashboard, no custom post types are created (as far as I can see)…… No menu item in Settings menu. Nothing happens. Why? What do I do wrong. I am trying for about a day now and I can’t figure it out…… pulling my hair out. Please help.
Worpdpress 4.1, bbPress latest, local site, developing mode1
Posting that code seems to have screwed up the thread…oh boy!
Well in any case I have been doing some testing.
It looks to me like bbPress is expecting to always be in the ROOT of the site.
I can make some adjustments but it then appears to mess something else up.
Take a look at this forum, I will leave it alone for a whole so you can look at it. But it explains the issue.
If I make the forum a child page bbPress will not create the forum with the parent page.
If you adjust the forum root setting to fix this, then bbPress takes over and the breadcrumb so the hierarchy is no longer correct.
At least that’s how it appears to me…
lol
I went to Tools > Forums > Reset Forums, checked the 2 boxes and clicked Reset bbPress.
…I did try disabling and re-enabling the plug-in first, but that didn’t work.
Thanks again!
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
So I have no clue what was causing this….but, I went ahead and just reset bbPress and viola! Everything is working as it should! lol…wish I knew what caused it, but at least there were not that many posts yet.
Hello,
I need help like something fierce.
I have installed the bbpress plugin and ensured that both the plugin and wordpress are both running the most updated versions.
The issue I am having is that registered users can not login on the front end of my wordpress site. The login widget looks like it functions properly, however, when users login with their credentials, it never actually logs them in on the front end. Please help me.
