it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi! I just installed bbpress on my site and I am having troubles on how the replies are being displayed. In this link you can see what I mean: https://construyendoultraciclismo.com/forum/hilo/intenciones-del-foro/
Replies don’t appear one after the other, but they overlap in the upper section of the forum.
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to put the bbpress profile within the armember profile? The general armembers profile is better, but i want to be able to add a link to the bbpress profile, as its list of contributions us get good.

I haven’t found a way to list bbpress contributions within armember profile – i hours someone has seen a way to do that?

Hello,

2/ From forum list, there is a count of 1 : https://prnt.sc/CbvBNCvJiG5Z

Problematic subject is 130…

Here are it’s details : https://prnt.sc/32N7xKAkiWa7

Any help to debug would be highly appreciated :-/

Is there a way to import categories from a csv file?

If not I could create the categories on wordpress with the plugin “wp alla import” and then import them on bbpress if there is a way.

I found this read with a plugin but it is old

Any Way to Convert WordPress Comments to BBPress

sorry, I’m just a guy sat at home trying to help others. bbpress is a free product, but with that comes support only from the community.

I don’t do teams/zoom as I don’t have the time – sorry.

Your issue is almost certainly css related.

[Robin W]

I suspect that you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Bonsoir, j’ai un souci. J’ai créé un forum sur bbpress version 2.6.9 avec WordPress version 6.6.2, cependant lorsque je me rends sur le site pour voir le rendu ça affiche une page blanche. j’ai essayé de désactiver bbpress puis le réactiver mais rien n’y fait. j’utilise xampp server version 8-2-12. J’ai essayé avec les version les plus récentes à savoir bbpress 2.6.11 et wordpress 6.7.1 mais toujours rien. Aidez moi s’il vous plait!

[Robin W]

Not sure how this is related to bbpress, but go to

dashboard>settings>general and there you will see the admin email address, this is where the email will have gone to. that email will detail what the error is

[Robin W]

that will be theme dependent.

you may be able to use the function is_bbpress()

[elsoar]

PLZ.. I want to change the logo image for the bbPress forum only, not for the whole WordPress blog.

TIA

[Robin W]

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
  $translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

I’ve no idea if this thread is relevant or not

bbPress + Elementor

I am tied up in other work at the moment, but I may get back to this soon

[mastersofphotography]

I’ve also tried the following:

– Deactivating Elementor + Elementor Pro.
– Added the code in then last step on this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-elementor/
– – I’m not sure that thread is super relevant to my situation. I didn’t try putting any templates at all.

I’m also experimenting with adding a brand new WP install at /forum/, and managing the forums as a separate CMS instance.

[ocglimited]

I went to dashboard>users>all users and edited the user. I could not find any “role”, but the user is NOT a superadmin (box not checked)

I don’t see the word bbpress anywhere in the user’s settings.

[Robin W]

can’t see your screenshot, but can you go to

dashboard>users>all users and tell me what roles your username has for wordpress and bbpress

[ocglimited]

I tried disabling my SEO plugin and those filters disappeared. The only other BBpress related plugin I have is for images, so i disabled that and no change to the filters.

I suspect something is interfering with the selectors / filters appearing that would allow me to approve posts (change from pending), or make approval related buttons appear (just guessing)

Any suggestions for a fix for the above?
Or, can I turn of ALL moderation so everything is automatically approved? I could not find such a setting.

[ocglimited]

You’re right – we cross posted. I see your point about the language in the URL…so that post is visible. Maybe a bad example.

I found another post that I can NOT find in my forum! Post number 6855, and in the database the post_status is marked as “pending”. Is that a clue?

Do I have to change the status of a post from Pending to “publish”? I’m wondering if I editted a post and then it goes missing. Do I have to approve my own post change?

I’m new to bbpress so trying to figure it out…wondering if this is my own doing. How can I see posts needing approval and how do I approve them (or change from “pending’)? Is that something I can switch off, since only I create/edit posts?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the woprdpress posts table – it is what wordpress calls a ‘custom post type’ many plugins use this method.

[ocglimited]

I tried to find the topics table in the wordpress database, and found one of my missing posts in the wp_12_posts table!

I’m not sure if this is normal, but I have wp_X_posts for 5/6/7/8/9/10/11 (replace X is table name). Is it correct to have posts in various wp_X_posts tables?

Next..looking at the row attributes for a sample post that is missing, I see:
post_status: inherit
comment_status: closed
ping_status: closed
menu_order:0
post_type: revision

Any clue there what’s wrong? Do I have to somehow force bbpress to regenerate indexes/names/etc?

[ocglimited]

I am using BBpress 2.6.11 for my forums. All posts creation/editting is done by a superuser account. This all has been working fine for years, but recently I noticed that some posts are missing. Links to some posts take me to 404 pages, and searching the forum for the contents of those posts fails (no result)

I have no idea what is happening. Can someone help me find & recover the posts, and fix whatever is wrong?

(I don’t run akismet, or any spam filter, as that showed up in a number of bbpress posts about missing posts)

[Robin W]

so on the gsc problem, can you go to

bbpress template

where there is a new file, and instructions for where to put it.

If anything is not clear come back.

In essence I am hoping that this will fix the gsc problem, I’m not expecting anything else to change, but it might just fix the color problem, let me know either way if anything has changed.

[Robin W]

ok, sorry there are thousands of themes, and you may need to live with this.

There are several threads on divi and bbpress issues.

[Robin W]

If are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) there is an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly

If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:

1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear

2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled

3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.

Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed

Hi.
I’m running BBpress (Version 2.6.11) on NewOrleansSaints.dk with the DIVI theme.
LINK: NewOrleansSaints.dk

If you click on a users profile link in the widgets the profile is displayed, but seems to be broken from the design.

What can I do to fix this issue ?
