Alright, did not bump any topic > 12 months, and will not do so.
So here’s where I’m at: Figured out a fresh bbPress install from 2.1 and above has issue 1 resolved for me.
But with bbPress 2.4.1, the version I’m running, I still needed the most updated bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack to fix issue 2. Unfortunately, the bbPress compatibility pack only goes up to 1.2.4 (what I’m now running), and was only actively being updated until bbPress 2.1 or so.
I tried running a clean bbPress 2.5.3 (no compatibility pack), and issue 2 occurs. Adding the compatibility pack breaks 2.5.3 completely (and I’ve not invested time looking into code).
What’s happening now is that issue 1 (HTML for editor inside editor when editing topics) is now occurring when I try to edit replies. So I’m still having issues with the visual editor.
What puzzles me is that in the Thesis forums, some other users talked about having troubles with their visual editor as well, even with the latest (1.2.4) compatibility pack. But supposedly, someone found a fix and crossposted it in this topic and in the Thesis forums. In the Thesis forums, he claims that this fix is implemented since bbPress 2.2, but I’m running 2.4 and still having issues with the editor?
The code fix in the above link also does not work for me, since in 2.4.1, bbp_replace_the_content is no longer a method that exists in theme-compat.php. Considering that the symptoms of my current issue seems to be the same as original issue #1, I would think the fix would have something to do with a similar problem where a function is being called twice, but have no idea where to begin looking. Any ideas?
Can you please create a ticket in bbPress’ Trac and we can take a closer look at this.

If you have a link to the discussion you had with Royal Slider please also include that, thanks.
I had looking for quick-start of wordpress + bbpress .
Anyone please share link for me.
Thankyou
I just downloaded the Spacious theme… Oh wait… Not related. If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.
I am having the same issue all over my forums. We are using the latest versions of bbpress and BuddyPress.
bbPress 2.5.3
Buddypress 2.0.1

ok, have you tried either of the options in the following
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
It’s widgets from Woocommerce that are showing. I was wanting the BBPress widgets for registering, searching and the forum list to appear.
I wanted to learn about deleting the plugin with all its settings. If you read my previous comment, you’d read about when I reset … but appearently it didn’t reset everything
I created a new bbpress forum inside the main site(gamesap.az) and it worked perfect but still, can’t see the difference in settings
The culprit is found 🙂
It’s PMPro search settings under Memberships/Advanced Settings that has a bug, here’s the thread where it’s explained:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-topics-is-hidden?replies=12#post-5636096
“the bug here is probably one that we’ve discovered in our “search filter”. The quick fix is to set the search filter to “No” on the advanced settings page (which is probably what happened when you reinstalled).
You can also change the “show excerpts” setting to “Yes” and it will show your topics again.”
Sorry but you only asked how to reset bbPress 1 day 3 hours ago as I write this :/
I’d suggest setting up a test install and see if you still have the same issue, you can then compare the settings between both sites.
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
Thanks for the detailed info @jbroskos, I agree things look correct there, but obviously are not working as expected.
If you do find the issue later on down the road let us know with some detailed reproduction steps and we can fix the issue once we can reproduce it https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ 🙂
Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.
I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.
I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉
You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.
Unfortunately, whether we should upgrade or not is not my call to make. At the advice of another developer, my project manager has decided that we will not be updating WordPress. At the advice of yet another developer, I have been warned not to update bbPress either. Sorry. I’m just a measly intern developer with no say. 🙁
I was speaking with one of the aforementioned developers today, and he suggested that it the ‘edit’ issue (as far as the HTML in the editor goes) might have to do with Thesis. I’m going to look further into bbPress-thesis compatibility issues, but would you happen to know anything offhand about that? I do have the bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack plugin installed.
As for s2member, I have tried various combinations of role settings, but the issue still remains that a member has to either have highest level (admin) role in s2member or moderator or higher role in bbPress in order to view topics. All replies are visible to all roles, s2member and bbPress. I realize I might be starting to get out of scope of this forum, but there is a full post here that describes the roles as they interact between s2member and bbpress. Is the only way for me to work with bbPress and s2member to customize the roles? I’d hope for a simpler workaround if possible…
I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.
All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?
Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)
Interesting that without the private groups it didn’t work as expected, and with the private groups it also doesn’t work as expected.
Maybe be worth investigating the theme and other plugins to see if they are causing an issue.
so with private groups deactivated
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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
So I finally got the bbp-private-groups plug-in to work. I ended up having to make all the forums “public” and now (based of the bbp-private-group permissions) everything is working and those that don’t have access are being redirected to a different page.
I’m hoping this is just a band-aid and that I can get the core bbpress permissions to work again, so any assistance is still appreciated.
Thank you
I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.
My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.
Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?
Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.
I also tried quick this morning and removed all the bbp capabilities from the wp-roles I use, and the members users could not see anything. So I’m not sure if it is not looking at the bbpress roles even or if for some reason the capabilities assigned to those roles are not enough (when they should be).
Something seems messed up, but not sure what to do. Thinking of downloading a copy of the database and snooping around it if I get time at work today.
Any other thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again!
p.s. I’m using

WordPress 3.9.1
Responsive Theme 1.9.5.1
bbPress 2.5.3
Why do I still see a topic from 3 days 18 hours ago if you reset bbPress?
Firstly why not update to WordPress v3.9.1 and bbPress v2.5.3?
The ‘edit’ issue is most likely a plugin conflict, start deactivating plugins one by one until the issue goes away then enable the other plugins you disabled and research any known issues with the plugin causing the problem.
As to the s2member issue, you are going to have to meticulously go through each of the role settings and confirm what permissions are be given to each s2member and bbPress roles to work out whats what.
Hmmm… What you have outlined sounds like it should be working.
The one bit I am not sure about is you appear to only be describing WordPress roles and not also including bbPress’ roles in your description above.
Have you run the bbPress Repair Tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?(Tools->Forum)
This will set the users their bbPress role. The default role is Participant (You can change the default role via bbPress settings)
As outlined in the roles docs the bbPress role Particpant role includes the capability read_private_forums which in effect means any private forums can be read by users who are logged in, this would include your members and officers WordPress roles if you assign these WordPress role users the bbPress Participant role. If you assign your Officers WordPress role the bbPress Moderator role they will be able to read hidden forums because they have the read_hidden_forums bbPress capability.
Couple of issues… I’m not sure what version of wordpress is being run (as ridiculous as this sounds. I came in halfway on a project, and another developer I got to look at the site also could not tell me), but it is something before 3.8. The bbPress version is 2.4.1. Site only shows a splash page to non-members, and registration is blocked, so a link to it would be pointless.
1) Hitting “Edit” on a topic as administrator puts the HTML for the editor into the text box of an editor. If I hit “submit” without changing the contents, it edits the topic, but includes the edit form in the topic. Here is a screenshot. Clicking on submit in the resulting form within the topic does the edit as it should. I am not sure if this happens for regular members… see issue 3.
2) Clicking “Edit” on a reply results in the following message:
“There’s nothing here.
If there were posts in the database, you’d be seeing them. Try creating a post, and see if that solves your problem.”
When I go to the dashboard > replies, I can clearly see all the replies listed there.
3) I realize this is a known issue, but I could not find a good resolution for my case. Topics are not viewable by regular members, but all replies are viewable. Anyone with bbPress moderator role and above can view topics just fine. s2member is being run on the site, and from what I understand, s2member admins get bbPress moderator roles, while bbPress moderators get s2member admin roles. I have tried disactivating the s2member plugin, and the topics show up fine then. I can’t ditch s2member, but obviously am not going to give every member admin/moderator roles just so they can see topics. In fact, every member should only be a participant. There should never be any need for moderators (save for the actual admin). I’ve checked visibility on the forums, and everything is set to public.
Hey Everyone,
We migrated from Simple:Press today to bbPress and so far all is well after a little cleanup, but now I am noticing that we are experiencing issues with permissions within the roles and capabilities. We have 2 tiers of registered users which are our members and our officers. With this we have 2 seperate categories and forums within them with members only being able to see/edit the members forum and officers being able to see/edit the members forum and the officers forum.
According to here on bbPress, this should be possible as our “members” role would have the “read_private_forums” capability assigned to it and our “officers” role would have that capability as well as the “read_hidden_forums” capability assigned to it. Unfortunately…this is not working properly, our “members” role is not able to view there forum, so in the mean time, I’ve enabled the “read_hidden_forums” capability per and that seems to have “solved” the issue, however now there is no way to restrict access to the officers forum (Which I’ve temporarily deleted until this can be resolved).
Any help/input/ideas would be appreciated. This should work from what I am reading, so not sure why.
Thank you!
