not sure if this will do what you want?

bbpress should have no problems with any database prefix that wordpress accepts, it just rides on this

[mjpg]

Do you know if bbPress has a problem with database prefixes such as:

wp_new_

[Robin W]

could be plugin or theme related

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.

[Robin W]

bbpress largely picks up on your wordpress theme, use any of thevdefault ones and you’ll get a great look.

I use twentyten very successfully.

and look at the set up guides

[Robin W]

if you mean the bbpress shortcodes, they’re held in

includes/common/shortcodes.php

at the simplest just comment out line 109

ie change to

//add_shortcode( $code, $function );

bbpress upgrades will overwrite this, so keep a note to change again as bbpress upgrades are issued.

May well be a plugin or theme issue

Same thing happening to me. Running WordPress 3.9. I activated bbPress – first time i got a weird access denied error, so I removed and reinstalled. Now when I activate, i get nothing, no welcome page, nothing on the left menu. I do get a widget on the dashboard telling me I have no forums…

Any more thoughts on this?

[mjpg]

WordPress 3.9
bbPress 2.5.3

On website, links to topics work – eg:
http://domain/forums/topic/topic_name

The forums link produces a list of forums – eg:
http://domain/forums

However, the links to forums do not work – eg:
http://domain/forums/forum/forum_name
I get page not found

In addition, the dashboard menu for ‘Forums’ only has the ‘Attachments’ link. ‘All Forums’ and ‘New Forum’ have vanished.

I have tried:

* repairing forums
* re-saving settings
* resaving existing permalinks
* running debug mode (no errors)

The updates were from:
WP: 3.2.1 to 3.9
bbPress: 2.0 to 2.5.3

Any ideas what to look for?

Thanks

Hi.

I am getting this error.
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3245

I saw some of people asked about this question for previous versions. Its supposed to be fixed.

I am using
Debug : True
Wordpress : 3.9
bbPress Version 2.5.3

Robin? We all love you!!!
To me this is a major thing bbPress is still missing.

Maybe you find something over here: http://themeforest.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=bbpress

TIP: Sort by rating

[qlymax]

Normaly this should work: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-go-to-first-unread-post/

[mlocke90]

I’m trying to mark a topic as private via the wordpress visibility options so that only the topic author and admins can read it. After marking it as private the topic text (post content) is only visible to the author (not even admin / keymaster can see it).

I found this post which seems to be semi-related.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2088

Try

#bbpress-forums  input[type='text'], textarea{ 
background : blue !important ; 
}

[Robin W]

Just spotted you post on the wordpress forum :

‘My theme (MH Magazine) has no bbPress template by default, so I copied my full-page-width template and renamed it plugin-bbpress.php. I’ve got the forums page set to this template’

If this is how you have it currently, then it is a sidebar template from your theme that you need, not a full width page one. With a siderbar theme, then wp-tweaks will pick this up and add the forum one to the page.

Hi,

I want ifThisThanThat (ifttt.com) service to automatically post postings. They should appear as topics in my bbpress forum.
Now ifttt can do postings, but I don’t see a chance to sync posts and topics (haven’t yet found plugin). The easy way would be to simply give a post the category “bbPress topic” and it automatically would appear as a topic in my forum. Is this possible? bbPress topics are posts within the database anyway, right? So this should be kinda easy?

Ideas?

[Jatinder Dhiman]

I have done a fresh installation of wordpress & bbpress and created new topics under forum but my users are unable to create a new topic. Please let me know if anybody knows.

[qlymax]

Hello,

I’m looking for a way to show which topics have some new replies. Also I want a button ‘Mark all as read’. I’ve downloaded some plugins but none of them worksfine.

The plugins i’ve tried:
BBpress pencil unread — http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-pencil-unread/ (shows the mark all as read but don’t do anything when pressed)
BBpress unread posts — http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ (shows a notice of new replies but all the topics are now ‘NEW’ and there is no ‘Mark all as read’ button)
BBpress Mark as read — http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/ (doesn’t work at all)

Please help me,

My website is: http://www.friendsofgaming.nl

Thanks!

@jakoblanglois has it right, to fix the last issue he describes when just need to modify the breadcrumbs behaviour a bit…

Uncheck the ‘Forum Prefix – Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)’ in bbPress settings and then the last bit…

Upon further testing, I noticed that this will not edit the breadcrumbs and will show Home > Forums (linking to domain.com/forums).

Tweak the settings of the breadcrumb using some custom arguments, this is based on the code here though what I have below just removes the ‘forums root’ from the breadcrumb…

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: bbPress - Custom Breadcrumbs
Plugin URI: https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7781901
Description: bbPress - Custom Breadcrumbs
Version: 0.1
Author: Stephen Edgar - Netweb
Author URI: http://netweb.com.au
*/

add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_breadcrumb' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_breadcrumb() {

	// Forum root
	$args['include_root']    = false;

	return $args;
}

Copy the above into a file named ntwb_bbpress_custom_breadcrumb.php in your plugins folder 🙂

If I understood you correctly this is what you’re after.

When in the dashboard, navigate to Settings > Reading.

Change the option that’s called Front page displays to a static page and choose the home page (assuming you’ve created a page to be the front page).

Now navigate to Pages > All Pages and edit the page you selected to be your home page (usually “home”).

Enter the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] and then publish.

For a full list of available shortcodes, visit https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Upon further testing, I noticed that this will not edit the breadcrumbs and will show Home > Forums (linking to domain.com/forums). I also tested this by changing the forum root slug in Settings > Forums to “home” (the page I have set to be my front page) and it now shows Home > Home

I am unsure as to how this would be fixed though…

Oh yes you are write palmdoc.your ans so nice and i learn about it.

[palmdoc]

Nope, it’s not blocking updates from bbPress despite blocking activity types:
new_forum_post, new_forum_topic

Hi, I’m currently running a forum using the MyBB forum software.

For a while now, I’ve considered moving to the bbPress platform, but one thing is stopping me from doing it.

As my site is nothing but a forum, having the forum in a sub-directory is something I do not wish to have, especially since my current domain already contains the word forums.

Is there a way to have the forum at the root directory of the site?
