I’ve only just noticed the same issue as everyone else, I DO have S2member installed, but that wasn’t the issue.

Turns out it was down to the Custom Search plugin by “bestwebsoft” https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-search-plugin/

I’ve raised the issue on the WP support forum https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-40-breaking-bbpress-not-showing-1st-forum-post?replies=1#post-6172365

Hello guys,

As you know forums can be dangerous in SEO unless all of your topics contain lots of content and information.

I would not like to get a Penguin penalty in future, just because I have a forum.

It is impossible all forum topics to be “thick”. There are ones who are “thin” and which we might not want to index.

So, can authors of the plugin contact YOAST perhaps, and ask, if it would be possible to have an option to index only either “popular topics” or topics with lots of content.

What do you guys think about this?

[Pavle123]

I have been using this piece of code to call the default bbPress breadcrumbs.

/**
 * Filter to call default bbPress breadcrumbs
 */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb', 1, 3 );
function myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb($trail, $crumbs, $r){
        // This will remove wordpress-seo filter to disable bbPress breadcrums by default
        remove_all_filters("bbp_get_breadcrumb",10);
        return $trail;
}

WP version: 4.0
BBpress version Brand new install. 2.0 I think?
Link to site: http://www.sofakingnews.com/forums/

I would to be able to increase the font size of Forums and Topics without increasing the size of Freshness (and possibly Posts and Voices)

The custom css I’m using to increase Forums and Topics is:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums {
color: #FFFF;
font-size: 16px;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 16px;
}

This is in a child theme under style.css

Also, it seems these people were able to achieve this:

Dall’Uva Forums

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

bbpress 2.x uses your themes template for most of it’s css

[designscape]

I have one other issue if you can help OR should I start a new thread?!?

What is the best way using BBpress to notify anyone when a new forum, topic or reply is created?

[Robin W]

And lastly, how can I add sub Forums.
So the main Forum is Android, and when you click on Android, there are more forums like Apps, Games, Phones etc.

see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separate-forums/

[Robin W]

you can just show the latest topics as a list by using

http://www.mysite.com/topics

say as a menu item or make this your home page.

alternately you can post the latest xx topics using

bbp additional shortcodes

Never mind. There was an old plugin called bbpress – No Admin installed and activated. Unsure where it came from but when I deactivated it, the dashboard nav links appeared for Editor/Keymaster.

Oops.

Mark this CLOSED.

Thanks.

Hello fellow data hunters

Theme: Weaver 2

This is my first rodeo with a forum plug in. Read the documentation, view Youtube videos for the install and set-up. all seems very straight forward – but it is not working for me 🙁

I have installed, setup, uninstalled and setup – set the same. After each install and i click on forums and saved and the same for permalinks

I have deactived all plugins except for the following:

1. All-in-one Event Calendar by Time.ly
2. Buddypress
3. Role Manager

Calendar and Buddypress are working great.

Currently bbpress is uninstalled.

Help would be greatly appreciated

site is cvma3-2.org – there is a formun tab now, but it is empty

[readwriteandedit]

Just a questions–what happens to their replies and topics when a forum user quits? I’m using BBPress with iTheme Exchange Membership to set up a new site and since it’s a paid membership site, users will cancel membership over time. I’m just wondering what will happen to their replies and any topics they start.

Thanks

Hi, ive had problems from my users that avatars are not showing in the forums. I checked it out & it seems theres a backslash being removed from the URL to the image. I had to remove:
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_author_link’, ‘stripslashes’ ); from the filters.php and it now all works fine. Problem is my theme is in source control and surely editing core files cannot be correct, right?

This is in my loop-single-topic.php file and this is what displays the name and avatar:
<span class=”bbp-topic-started-by”><?php printf( __( ‘Started by: %1$s’), “”.bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’90’))); ?></span>

Is this a known bug and is there a better way to fix this? I am using the latest BBpress and WordPress 4.0. Avatar plugin is WP User Avatar

Thanks

Cheers

Hi,
I would show in charts or tables the stats about usage of bbPress:
– new topic;
– number of answer;
etc…

Exist a plugin for my necessity?

Thanks.

[designscape]

I have just taken over on a website where the BBPress plugin was de-activated but I guess while it was up the forums were never monitored and there are 130,000 replies that are all spam. I don’t want to delete 100 at a time!!! What is the fastest or best way to delete the forums, topics and replies to start over???

[Stephen Edgar]

This can be quite complex and is really not a “bbPress”, it is more a Apache/Nginx “thing”, take a look at the following on Stack Overflow, it describes the changes needed to redirect via .htaccess an old vBulletin to bbPress site:

HI @maddogmcewan, as per my note above, I split this to a new topic as there are sure to be a couple of things that will get confusing if we continued in that same topic.

To start with you should take a look in your wp_posts table, you should be able to find bbPress three custom post types forum, topic, and reply in the post_type column.

1. Check if you indeed have some post types forum in your wp_posts table.
2. Now find a topic in the wp_posts table, look at the post_parent, the ID of that field should relate to one of the ID values of the actual forums you found in step 1.
3. Replies are the same, find a reply, look up the post_parent and check if a topic with that same ID exists.

I’m expecting you have some mismatched data from your import and it is a matter of digging in to find what is broken in the data relationships.

[Stephen Edgar]

Here is the resultant SQL query for your code above:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
FROM wp_posts 
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt1 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt1.post_id)
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt2 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt2.post_id)
WHERE 1=1 

AND ( ( YEAR( post_date ) = 2014 ) )

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'
	OR (mt1.meta_key = '_bbps_topic_status'
		AND CAST(mt1.meta_value AS CHAR) LIKE '%1%')
	OR (mt2.meta_key = '_bbps_topic_status'
		AND CAST(mt2.meta_value AS CHAR) LIKE '%2%') 
	)

GROUP BY wp_posts.ID
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC
LIMIT 0, 15

I think you are hitting a known limitation of WordPress at the moment nesting queries, take a look at Boone’s posts on the improvements coming to WordPress 4.1:

Meta, Date, and Tax Query improvements in WP 4.1

…classes currently accept a ‘relation’ parameter, which allows multiple query clauses to be joined with AND or OR. So, for instance, you can query for: posts that are in the ‘Boone’ category AND have the tag ‘Awesome’ AND do not have the term ‘Raphael’ in the favorite_turtle taxonomy. But this syntax only allows for so much expressiveness: you can’t mix AND and OR, and you can’t group clauses. These limitations make it difficult to use these queries in support of complex content filtering…

Then take a read of the follow up post explaining what has happened since that first post, I haven’t had the time to look at how this changes affect bbPress, they should not break bbPress, but these will be something we will take a look at to a) Ensure bbPress is not affected by these WordPress 4.1 updates and b) How we can leverage these improvements in future versions of bbPress.

@mnhfile well i dont know why you have it only showing when the parent theme is activated , its suppose to work too when you just put the file in a bbpress folder in your child theme.

maybe you put the file in your parent theme too, or edited the bbpress templates in the plugin folder which you should not do , since when either of these things update , you will lose all your modifications.

i did look at your website , it is coming together kind of nicely

the weird layout that makes it look like any additional categories below the first category look like subcategories with the space to the left and everything, this might be a little design issue, it kind of did this when i was testing the file earlier.

if you want switch out robins file with this one, just copy and paste right over it using a text-editor like notepad++ test it out and see how it does on your site.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robkk/better-bbpress-responsive-theme/master/bbpress/loop-forums.php

And can I do some modification in each tab like hiding or disclosing tab contents(forums)

please explain a little bit more on what you are talking about, i have an idea and assume it might be some custom development work , but explain a little bit more just to make sure.

Hi there,

I’ve been successfully clinging on to bbPress 1.2 (last standalone) with my forum, so far without any problems.

Sadly that changed about a month ago when the forum suddenly started fetching “wrong” time stamps for user posts.

Now when I say wrong time stamps, what I really mean is differing time stamps, from what I could observe of about one hour.

Lets say I post something at 2pm, then one of my users comes on and he posts a reply shortly after. Now that reply doesn’t get a time stamp of, say, 2pm1min, but instead 3pm1min. The forum will now treat this post as if it were posted in the future, resulting in the output “posted -1 year ago” until forum time is past 3pm1min.
The second and more urgent consequence is that if I or anybody else with the “right” time stamp assigned to them will post another comment within that hour, that reply will be added in the wrong order prior to the first reply.

As for solving this issue, I have tried to figure it out in the code (to no avail) and even did a rollback of the forum and database to March 2014 for test purposes, yet the issue persists.
This leads me to believe that it cannot be related to any bad code (especially since the software and Plugins haven’t been touched in months), but rather that there may have been a fundamental change in the way the date function in post.php works. I can’t even seem to figure out where bbPress would fetch it’s time data from.

Banging my head against the wall at the moment, any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers
Lars

As of ~2.3, the “allowed tags” are filterable within bbPress.

Look for the filter bbp_kses_allowed_tags. It’s in includes/common/formatting.php.

@jaredatch , thank you so much man!! been able to allow some extra tags.. and been looking for this long time ago, until i gave up -(
appreciated 😀

When I set my Editor users to Keymaster level, I am unable to create a new forum. The dashboard does not have Forums, Topics, Replies items listed in the left navigation. (Administrators as Keymaster do have those items.)

I do seem to have the capability to work with topics including deleting topics by other members from the front-end of the site (but not the dashboard).

When I access a forum from the front-end, an edit link appears and clicking it brings me to the post editor for that forum. I see a New Forum button. Clicking the button, I get this error:

Invalid post type

WP Version: 4.0
bbpress Version: 2.5.4

Thanks.

Hi,

I have been having trouble with using both Woocommerce and BBPress.

When I try to access page two of my BBpress topic reply, it doesn’t take me to the link, instead it just refreshes the page. After reactivating all of my plugins to find the culprit, it appears that it’s Woocommerce creating this permalink issue.

I have tried for the past 5 days to try and play around with the permalink structures, but no matter what I try, the problem to occurs.

My website is: http://teachmekorean.co/ but for some reason it won’t let non-logged in users view the forum even though the settings are set for it being open to everyone.

Is this easy to fix as it is crucial I use both of the plugins?

Thank you very much 🙂

Confirming that this is still an issue with WP 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4 and ThemeMyLogin 6.3.10.

The suggested fix from @will-brownsberger still works and fixes things. This is an issue with general login redirects as even custom redirects using login_redirect filter (WP core) don’t work.
