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?

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.

@jordanpinski wrote

“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?

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

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…..

Wordpress Version: 3.9.1
BBPress Version: 2.5.4

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?

[lizbeck]

Hi all,

I just installed bbpress using the shortcode to display the forums on my frontpage, but I don’t think the lists are displaying as intended. In the part2 instructions it says the default look is:

But, by default my forum is displaying as a list: http://pubs.hamlin.org/tech/

I’d be happy to use the default view if I could make it work. Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on here? I’m using the twentyeleven theme.

Thank you in advance for your help!
– Liz

Hi Stephen

Thanks for your help…greatly appreciated. I have one more question:-

The forum on the site we copied (SITE A)(which is now 12 weeks out-of-date) holds the following data:-
Forums 445
Topics 409
Replies 2036
Tags 385

The forum on the site that we kept running (SITE B) while re-designing holds the following data:-
Forums 445
Topics 464
Replies 2258
Tags 448

When using the WordPress Export (Tools->Export) on SITE B and then the bbpress import (Tools->Forums) option on SITE A will the system duplicate the old entries and therefore only transfer the new Topics, Replies and Tags? Or will I need to do something else first to clear the old data and allow the entire forum data to be imported.

P.S – I have already imported all the users via an S2 Member export and import so all the user ID’s should be in place already.

I’m getting there…I think!

Thanks again
Phil

I’m trying to modify the default bbpress loop on a forum page (loop-topics.php) to include the sub-forum topics.

Here’s an explanation:

Forum A
Sub-forum A1
Sub-forum A2
Forum B
Sub-forum B1
Sub-forum B2
So when viewing Forum A’s page, I’d like to show sub-forum A1 and sub-forum A2. and below sub-forum A1 and sub-forum A2 like to show recents topics from sub-forum A1 and sub-forum A2.

[Robkk]

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
margin: 0 0 8px;
border: 1px solid #222;
}

try this css code

One I’ve been playing with

bbp additional shortcodes

[Robkk]

how to show 5 recent topics on homepage like bbpress.org??

is it just the recent topics widget, or and edited version of the bbpress index shortcode??

[ttmt]

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress to which I have added custom css – nothing crazy just some colour changes etc.

Everything seems to working fine apart for the user settings page.

The avatar shows with the navigation underneath.

The information about post started shows and I can edit the user details.

‘Your Posts Started’ doesn’t show any posts.

If I checked the page source it shows the code but it’s offset to the right of the window and just shows it as empty boxes.

[Robkk]

@palmdoc yeah that was the only thing i could have thought of to try it , without making a quicktag button manually , and making it work on bbpress.

[Robkk]

whats your theme?
whats your version of bbpress?
whats your error when you click edit?

to uninstall ,

you first clear forum data by going to tools>forums>reset forums

deactivate , then uninstall in plugins directory

Disabling the plugin leaves the keymaster usermeta fields in the database causing no access to the dashboard.

i dont know how this is happening…

[Robkk]

Is it difficult to do so?

i dont know how jquery works so yes.

but i looked at the plugins info and there is a doc embedder button in the visual editor

so maybe try to enable visual editor in bbpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

then click enable the full default TinyMCE mode, and see if the google doc button shows up.

[Robkk]

@robin-w

ok i was able to achieve a full width forum this way with no template editing.

i downloaded https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/

i went to my original sidebar in my widgets section

i then clicked it open and pressed the new sidebar location link

A window should popup that says “Define where you want this sidebar to appear.”

i then checked a sidebar for selected post types. then i clicked pages, and posts, add whatever else that you may have, but none that are custom post types that are affiliated with bbpress, (topics, forums, replies)

that should do it.

i dont know if any other custom sidebar plugin does this (woosidebars etc.) but i do know this should work.

[jordanpinski]

Hi,

I can’t seem to find documentation on how to remove bbpress. My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work (I’m guessing reinstalling would fix this). Disabling the plugin leaves the keymaster usermeta fields in the database causing no access to the dashboard. What’s the correct way of doing this?

[ttmt]

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress theme.

I have a forums page thats shows the forums and a search box at the top.

I have a topics page for topics in the forums with no search box at the top.

How do I have a search box at the top of the topics page.

[Robin W]

ok, I’m close to giving up on this – not that I’m not interested in fixing it, but it is just taking too much of my time.

can you post your full current bbpress.php

[Vikram Singh Rana]

Hey I had the same problem and wanted my forum to have a full width looks. I visited your threat and used the code about but it didn’t worked for me. I have tweaked it and it is working for me now. I had the same problem of topics disappearing.

Please use this code, it should work perfectly fine.
