Didn’t know that it is that complicated… -.-
i hate messing with your theme but ILL try to fix it.
okay Full width vs bbpress sidebar , choose one now.
what is creating this bbpress sidebar??
ILL work on getting the footer back first, but yeah its going to be some time later, so try to be patient.
i am also happy with full width (That’s the main thing), but best would be of course if the bbpress sidebar and the normal oxygen footer work!
Didn’t know that it is that complicated… -.-
dont reply on the other topic you made
pretty much just copying the same thing from this
Finding .css style file
give me a link to your site
so i can see if its a special code in your template making the avatars huge
if its a .avatar css rule making all the avatars on your site big
or if i could find something else.
I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?
thats not a good idea , it will be lost next upgrade.
@aussiestar14 so now you dont want full width anymore and you want a bbpress specific sidebar and your footer back??
Hi again Stephen,
I am importing the database now and its ticking on.
I am starting the wp/bbpress site from scratch so there is nothing there. This is a test import.
I have 3 questions:
1. I checked importing users (3 rd from end on configuration page) as want to import my users as well. Was that correct?
2. Lets say everything looks good. Can I only import the last few days on top of this then or do I need to start over again? Would like as little downtime as possible when I go live.
3. Cant figure what the 2nd from last checkbox is for “Start Again”. Is there a guide explaining all this more in detail?
Cheers
yes, we so far fixed it that the normal oxygen sidebars aren’t showing up.
Things which are missing are the new bbpress sidebar and the themes footer…
As it is a premium plugin I can’t download it to have a quick look, there are also a few other bbPress issues on their forums/support site that would be worth reading also.
@Robkk Thanks for the response, but I moved the file to both locations, and edited the css but nothing worked. I used this code to resize the images:
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
width: 20px !important;
height: 20px !important;
}
I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?
I switched my theme to twenty fourteen. I then deactivated bbPress. I still saw the Error 500 when trying to access zippe.biz/wp-admin.
I reactivated bbPress and switched back to the OptimziePress theme.
Thanks guys!
Robkk –
My wordpress setup is special situation. The Leaning Management System for the school I work for has it’s own version that it maintains with about 50 approved plugins (including bbpress)…I don’t have access to the FTP files unfortunately.
I was able to get most of the CSS working by copying and pasting the bbpress CSS into the custom CSS area in the WP dashboard. I shouldn’t have to do this, so I’m contacting the Learning Management System to report this possible bug.
Stephen –
You checked out the site after I had most of the CSS working. What Robkk saw was no styling at all…everything was listed with bullets like a regular < li > would be styled.
That said, your idea to create a child forum worked!
Thank you both for your help!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project over the last month that was working perfectly on my local Mamp server. When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.
I’ve disabled all plugins except bbPress (even though they all worked on my server), reset permalinks and I know the theme I created wasn’t a problem because it worked perfectly in dev.
I’m a little stressed at this point as this week was supposed to be for testing and final rollout and that’s all come to a screeching halt without this basic functionality.
Would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks a lot!
OK. Here is what I’ve found.
Independent of other plugins, I do not see the Error 500 when both bbPress and OptimizeMember are activated.
If only one of them is activated I see the error.
There is no need for duplicate topics a couple of hours apart.
Closing this in favor of your first topic here.
This is weird. When the only active plugin is bbPress, I see the Error 500. When I active bbPress and the other 19 plugins, I do not see the Error 500. I will experiment some more and get back to you.
My suggestion here would be to activate bbPress and try to “edit post” whatever the case may be per my previous post above (WordPress posts or bbPress topic/reply) and if you still cannot “edit” whatever it is you are trying to edit start disabling all your active plugins one by one, once you deactivate one try your ‘edit’ thing again, if it now works you know the conflicting plugin, if not disable another plugin and try again.
Also as per another previous post of mine above:
“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”
Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?
None of those plugins standout as something that would cause the issue, though I expect most likely it is one of them…
You state:
When the bbPress plugin is deactivated, I can not. Instead what I see is a page that displays:
And then:
I disabled then deleted bbPress and still saw the error reported above. I then re-installed and re-enabled bbPress and the error went away.
If you can’t access /wp-admin with bbPress disabled, how exactly are you re-activating bbPress?
Sorry. I forgot to include that.

Stephen… Thank you for your reply.
Here is my current issue.
When the bbPress plugin is activated, I can access my website via zippe.biz/wp-admin.
When the bbPress plugin is deactivated, I can not. Instead what I see is a page that displays:
Error 500
The server encountered a syntax error, and could not complete your request.
Website owner? check your code, and your debug log, you may find a ‘parse’ error in there.
Visitor? Try and reload it in a few minutes.
I disabled then deleted bbPress and still saw the error reported above. I then re-installed and re-enabled bbPress and the error went away. I then disabled bbPress and the error returned.
I have no idea what to do next. My hosting provider is working on this as well as we’re not sure where to focus our attention.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
@kevinbcarney The Deleting Conversion Table… Failed is nothing to worry about, this is just cleaning up and removing the extra database table if you had previously imported forums.

Rob is also correct above (presuming you do want to delete all bbPress data)
- Run “Reset Forums”
- Deactivate bbPress
- Uninstall bbPress plugin
I’ve just tested this and I have no issues accessing the dashboard after performing the above steps.
Caveat: You are correct that the bbp_keymaster role is still assigned to the user in wp_usermeta, though this should not block access for you to WordPress’ dashboard, there is a tweak to the uninstall/deactivation for bbPress 2.6 listed here in #2580. I also came upon another issue that I’m updating a patch for now, but again, none of this should be stopping yopu from accessing the dashboard after deactivation and/or uninstall.
As Rob wrote, what other plugins are you using that may conflict with this? It could be any plugin role or capability related and/or other plugins that extend bbPress functionality.
Cool, I created a ticket for this, no idea when we will get to look at doing this though.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2670
I’d suggest for now take a look at the plugin I mentioned above to allow replying by email.
Hi,
Can someone help me with the Font and Text Color in the forums. I was looking for some plugin or something but unable to find one.
I was basically looking for if someone is posting in the forums and they need to have ifferent colors to highlight what they type…like I have seen in some forums and also if they can change the size of the fonts…..

Thank You

I installed bbPress last night for the first time and WOW, this is a FANTASTIC plugin!! Very impressed!!
I have two questions so far:
Question #1. How do I edit the following text when someone comes to my forum and isn’t logged in:
“Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue”
The issue is that both Login and Register are links that lead to the default WordPress Login and Register pages. bbPress doesn’t offer an option in the settings to specify a custom page for both of these links (which needs to be added in a future update) and I’ve searched the .php files under Dashboard > Plugins > Editor > bbPress but can’t find the file to edit/remove the links? My site has been customized with front-end pages for Login/Register/Edit Profile so that no one is sent to the default Login/Register pages or the Dashboard. The default bbPress installation doesn’t work for my site simply bc I can’t edit these links…
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Which .php file contains that text? Also, under Dashboard > Settings > Forums
// This path should be changed to:
Dashboard > Settings > bbPress
Not sure why the team chose to use the word “Forums” here but labeling that tab “bbPress” would make a lot more sense for your users. 🙂 Please add the ability to redirect both of those Login and Register links to whatever URL the user desires here: Dashboard > Settings > bbPress
Question #2. After creating topics, to the far left under the word topic there’s a red X and a clock next to the topic titles (I have two dummy topics so far). If I click on the red X, it won’t delete? Why is that delete icon there while the other is a pretty little clock? I didn’t do this, they were both posted a few minutes apart, and both have different icons?? Very confusing.
Cheers!
Hi guys, on my site astronomertalk.com, I saw this fatal error:
Fatal error: Cannot call overloaded function for non-object in /home/vaghar123/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 529
it first started just when I clicked one button, then over time (like one minute) it took over the entire site. Then it stopped again, then it came back etc etc
I put my site under maintenance mode while I had the chance…
can anyone tell me whats going on here?
