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?
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.
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
sorry to post this here but my i cannot create topics or anything on the site..
i have been messing with this all day and getting quite aggrevated
my members cannot edit they’re topics or replies or forums if i allowed it which i dont
And they cannot create a topic from the Dashboard menu bar at the top
so the topics they are allowed to use looks totally horrible and does not have all my wordpress options, well i think it uses the normal wordpress replies maybe i would need to change that?
If they could Edit they could use the proper Tools after but..
Unless i set Edit_others_posts there is absolutely nothing i can do to allow them to edit
it always says you do not have the proper rights
and of course i DO NOT want them to be allowed to edit other peoples posts…
How could i make it so that they can edit they’re own posts only
and that they could post a Topic Directly from the Dashboard bar at the top of page to be able to have the proper tools instead of using post topic like a reply
I did reset all users to default Role since i saw it mentioned often and it didnt help
Only if id set it to moderator they could edit theyre own posts
but they can delete everything from everyone
i am using latest WordPress and latest bbpress with twenty fourteen theme and i have no plugins that would conflict
I’m seriously considering moving to bbPress forums and so far the import from Vanilla 2.1 works fine, but one serious issue for me is somehow importing the attachments as well.
Because of the nature of our forum, it’s kind of “attachments heavy”. Is there any “manual” way to redirect links maybe? I could just move attachment files to some other directory.
Now links to attachments look like this: http://www.MYSITE.COM/forum/uploads/FileUpload/a9/2b1cce434aca112cd9511e8de163e1.jpg
Any idea?
Yes, I am sorry we kinda forgot this forum is mostly in English still 😉
Kolya’s advice to flush permalinks while deactivating all plugins and so on combinations, .trashing and recreating .htaccess didn’t work out yet, must be something with my bbPress but I have a long autumn night going ahead which is nice..
Can anyone help me in changing the size of the login button on the bbpress login widget. I must of tried over 20-30 different css codes, clearing cache and logging in and out and no matter what I do I cannot change the size of the login button.
I applied this code to change the size of the submit button
#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: ##a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}
but I cannot locate the login button that is coming through the widget, even after inspecting with firebug and trying for the past 2 days.
As it turned out, the previous web developers had deleted the template directory within the BBPress plugin itself and this was the cause of the problem.
Hi,
2.6 is supposed to be faster but it looks like development is somehow stuck.
And I would love to see some Discourse features to be ported to bbPress as it could be better on mobile devices but I can not even find such as paid plugins…
Kind regards
PS: I am still not sure which forum to use as I am a bit disappointed about bbPress. Not about the development but on the missing information on its future and the new version like why is it delayed, what to do against that, where is help most needed…
In playing around I noticed some odd behavior…
I decided to just try full width forums, however, the forum index always looked off to the right as if it had a blank sidebar (I copied page.php to bbpress.php in the child template folder).
I then created a new page and put the forum index short code in it. On this one, full width worked fine for everything. The installation instructions indicated to create a page with the same name as the forum root slug (forums) and you wouldn’t have to use the short code. I changed the forum root slug from forums to forums2 and put the short code in the forums page and full width worked fine.
Thus, what I found out, I can get full width to work okay if I don’t name the forums page the same as the root slug.
Still can’t figure out the sidebar thing though…
Bob
Still did not help. Yes, I
1. Created a wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child folder
2. Created a twentyeleven-child/styles.css file with the info from the instructions
3. I copied twentyeleven/sidebar-page.php to twentyeleven-child/bbpress.php
4. I created a twentyeleven-child/css filder
5. I copied the bbpress.css file from the plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css folder to the twentyeleven-child/css folder.
6. I modified the bbpress.css to change a few colors.
7. I installed the plugin plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css and configured it to look at bbpress.php
8. I chose Post Name int he Permalink Settings
9. I created a page call Forums and ensured its Permalink was forums
10. I tried both default and sidebar template for it.
I tried both of the above suggestions in style.css and bbpress.css in the child tree to no avail.
I would be good with going with a “wide” page and no sidebar and just putting creating pages for logins and so forth, however, the problem there is the index page ends up with a blank sidebar so looks funky.
Thanks four your help and suggestion though!
Cheers for the response and thanks for your time and effort looking into this, much appreciated.
For the test below i set up a hidden forum on my live server.
What happens when you deactivate either/or “Go to first unread” & “Unread posts” plugins you’re using and submit a reply to an affected topic?
- I just went through all the bbpress related plugins and tried different combos and didn’t notice any significant performance differences.
Another test, this time with the ‘Quotes’ plugin disabled submit a reply to an affected topic.
- Using GDPress and had the same results as above
Another, what code and/or plugin are you using to show the user registration in each reply e.g. Join Date: Mar 2009
And another, what code and/or plugin are you using for the counts shown next to the username in each reply e.g Posts: 4529
- Using the function below. Again I disabled and noticed no significant improvement.
function func() {
$roleData = bbp_get_user_role(bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ));
if($roleData=='bbp_moderator'){
$data='<div class="bbp-author-role">Moderator</div>';
}
$registered = date("M Y", strtotime(get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id())->user_registered));
$post_count = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;
$data.='<div class="bbp-reply-ip"><span class="bbp-author-ip">';
$data.='Join Date: '.$registered;
$data.='<br />';
$data.='Posts: '.$post_count;
$data.='</span></div>';
}
Here’s the results for the first query
And the second query
Something I did notice when testing, was that when I was posting in the new topc I created, posts seemed to be submitting relatively quicker, 2 – 5 secs per post. Though when posting in a thread that had a lot more replies the post submission took a lot longer.
I tried the query plugin you suggested and getting relatively good results everything is < 2 secs, but it only shows the performance of the query results, and doesn’t take into account the time it takes to submit, which is > 10 secs. (unless I’m overlooking something??)
Thanks
Hello guys,
I’m using the latest version of WordPress and BBpress to date.
I don’t know if this is expected default behavior but in the front page of my forum, the total topic counts only show in the categories and not next to each forum.
I would like the categories NOT to have any count, and for the counts only to show next to the forums.
Any idea of what I could do?
Thanks!
You are correct, image attachments are not imported, most of the ins and outs are in the docs
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/
Maybe the site that works has a custom bbpress.php wrapper template or it is using a page with bbPress shortcodes, either or it’ll just take a bit more comparing the differences between the two.
@csutherland88 That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing it.
And BTW, the “bbPress Threaded Replies” plugin by Jennifer Dodd is the basis of bbPress threaded replies, Jennifer actually wrote the bbPress implementation based on her previous work with quite a few more enhancements than what was originally included in just the plugin.
I am running bbpress on a local site and I’m quite happy with it so far. I am however experiencing an issue with the reply box.
If I try to write a reply to a reply the visual editor accepts no inout. I tried installing bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab but it hasn’t fixed the problem . Is there a setting I have overlooked or is this an ongoing issue that I’ll have to work around?
Cheers guys and gals.
/* WP version: v3.9.2
* bbPress version: v2.5.4

This sounds like we need to fix bbPress core, feel free to create a ticket on Trac and we can take a closer look https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
Edit: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685
hello everyone,
any know about bbpress custom query pagination. please help me..
Thanks for adding this to a GitHub repo, I’ll take a closer look later.
The issue with the permalinks on ru.forums.wordpress.org is indeed known, details are here:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/121
Most likely rather than fix this in bbPress 1.x we will look to add your plugin (if needed) when we upgrade all the international forums to bbPress 2.x.
