This is not a bbpress forum setting that I’ve seen, it is one added by a plugin? and where is it shown?

go mess with tharsheblows loop-single-categories file or mess with bobinz files from pastebin
We resolved the issue. It was not related to the Headway theme, but rather it was an improper setting in the plugin bbPress – Sort topic replies. Here is the proper setting:

Robin W, thank you for your quick response! This thread could now be closed.
Hi !
Using the Plugin Shortcodes Ultimate I have created tabs in my WordPress Install.
Anyway I can do the same in bbPress ?
As an example please see :
Songs to Ponder Over
the starting post has tabs and was made in WordPress.
The replies are coming from the bbPress side and I’d like to make similar tabs in the same…
Shortcodes Ultimate plugin doesn’t seem to be working in bbPress.
All advise / Workabouts much appreciated. thanks !
I have bbPress installed and the register screens set up and displaying correctly. I have WP SMTP installed and pointing to my hostmonster mail server. It tests fine. When a new member registers I get a notification that a new user has registered and I know this is going through the SMTP server because of the headers in the email. The password email is not being received. I don’t believe the password is actually being sent for reasons I don’t understand. I have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. I think it is a bbPress problem not a SMTP problem.
I have an existing Vanilla Forums instance sitting in /forum. I plan to migrate that site over to the bbPress setup that I am putting in now, but when I installed using the Add Plugin, it didn’t give me a path option and wound up in /forum/forums/forum or some such.
Is there a way to use /forums during the initial install to start simplifying, or am I a bit stuck with this piece in place and Vanilla still installed on my server?
I’m making a custom wordpress theme, but I want bbpress to use the twentytwelve themes.
I know how to make it use my custom theme css, but that’s not what I want, can anyone help?
yeah you havent been really digging into your theme changing bbpress templates… i hope.
but i think it might be the way your themes set up , maybe your theme author did not style his theme for bbpress to handle categorized layouts.
contact your theme author
http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901/comments
other than that i guess deactivate your plugins one at a time, and see if you can find a plugin that might cause an issue.
Indeed pingbacks and trackbacks should not be enabled, I’ve just created a ticket to have a look at this, #2677.
It was also mentioned in this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/disable-pingbacks/
I can see lots of ‘?’ – is this your issue??
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.
come back with the results !
Lots you could choose from
I like
bbp last post – changes freshness to last posted date
bbp private groups -sets up private groups
bbp profile information – adds up top 4 fields to profile
bbp topic count – displays topic and reply counts under the avatars
(I would like the above, I wrote them !)
as well as
bbpress notify – advises admin of new posts
bbpress WP tweaks – adds forum specific sidebar
bbp signature – adds a signature box
wp modal login – addas a modal login !
2014 bbPress Survey Results
6. Twenty-three percent of participants have not added any bbPress add-on plugins nor custom code at the time of survey. Additional research showed the majority of those who have not installed such are those who use bbPress for their own sites.
For the rest of the participants, there are a few who mentioned that they have too many plugins in their installations to list in the survey form. For those who shared what plugins they have activated in their installations, following shows the top ten plugins which are either bbPress-specific or those with expressed support for bbPress.

a) GD bbPress Attachments

I have the forum settings to 15/topic, and 25/replies.
The forum isn’t live yet, and I had testers take it over the limits, and bbpress won’t create new pages, it just dumps everything into one long scrolling page.
This is a brand-new installation of vers. 2.5.4 on WP 3.9.2
any suggestions?
Just getting started with BBpress – moved over a phpbb forum.
Just wondering, what are users “must-install” plugins?
We’re use white text on a dark background in our BBPress Forum.
The problem that we’re having is that the Insert/edit Link Box defaults to white background, now with unreadable white text.
Can the background color of this message window be modified?
If not, is there a way I can set the text in this message window to display as dark, while retaining the white text on the forum?

Hi all.
I have installed bbPress, and love it.
I have also installed WP-Members plugin, so that I can gather some additional user meta data and control user access to the wider site.
However, although new users seem to be given the Forum Role of “Participant” when they register, they don’t seem to be able to post on the bbPress forum. Even if I elevate their forum permissions to Moderator, they still can’t post.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks

Hello! I’m new to BBPress and this is my first installation.
I’m getting � “REPLACEMENT CHARACTER” showing up. Usually this means there’s some encoding interpretation problem. I’ve added the following meta to my heading, but am still getting the replacement characters.
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
Any ideas on how to resolve?

Thanks bunches.
Hi,
I apologize. It is only now I see your response.
The forum page title was originally Forums with the slug being forums and after saving the permalinks I changed the title. In forum settings the forum root is forums.
I now think that maybe my issue is because my WordPress website and bbPress plugin are in a subdomain.
I apologize again for not seeing your response.
Thank you for your time

Robin W, Thank you for the ideas. This is the first time I’ve used bbPress, so I have nothing to compare it with. I tried your idea of deactivating all other themes and that did not change the Forum problem. I am currently unable to test deactivating the theme because the site owner just paid Facebook to boost a post that would drive visitors to our site. So it’s a bad time to put the site in maintenance mode, even briefly. Hope that will change in the next day or so. I am using HeadwayThemes and I have posted in the forum there. I found a conversation on http://support.headwaythemes.com/discussion/comment/166604#Comment_166604 about a problem between HeadwayThemes and the bbPress search function, but saw nothing like the problem I have with the replies appearing above the posts.
In the HeadwayTheme, the forum is appearing in the content block. The content block let’s me do custom query filters. In the query filters settings, I’ve told it to include the post type forums. And I’ve tried both ascending/descending order. Nothing puts the replies BELOW the topics.
Hello,
I’m having a problem importing a vbulletin forum into bbpress. It keeps telling “no forums to convert”, “no comments to convert” for every item “no ….. to convert”. I didn’t create the old site I am taking this from but when I got to page source, I see vBulletin 3.8.2 so I’m guessing that’s the version it is.
Also the database doesn’t show any table prefixes, it just has “access” as the first one, “adminhelp” as the second and so on.
The site is http://troianiwebdesign.com/gulfstar – wordpress version 3.9.2 – bbpress version 2.5.4
Please help me figure out the problem so I can get this moved over!
Thank you!

Has this just started happening?

I suspect it is your theme, but carry out the tests above, and then come back !
the line for the button is
<button type="submit" name="user-submit" id="user-submit" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button submit user-submit"><?php _e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>
so class is “button submit user-submit”
Why are the replies showing above the topic and how can I get topic above replies?
It appears that the time stamp on the replies (being newer than teh topic) are showing up above the topic.
Please see test on http://changeaustin.org/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-2886
The site is using WordPress 3.9.2, bbPress 2.5.4. HeadwayThemes 3.7.8
