Conveniently I’m at my parents for dinner…
This is on an iPad 2iPad 3… And moving the cursor around to edit text works fine…
Now editing the original post with an iPad 3,iPad Air and still fine.
So a 2, 3 and 5/Air iPads are working fine to post and/or edit and/or change cursor location.
With all that said I have also experienced this exact same issue here on bbPress.org using my iPad. As each of these 3 iPads were originally mine and are now my parents yet I can’t reproduce the issue any longer.
Kindly help me. How to filter the topic using the custom fields.
I have created the custom fields using the GD Custom posts and taxonomy tools. I need to filter. I have followed this step but its not working.

Thanks in advance.

* Visit Admin > Users
* Tick the box next to your account
* Use the right-most drop-down and select “Key Master”
* Save the page
I’ll note again that under normal circumstances this should happen automatically when activating bbPress. Sorry it didn’t, and I’m curious to know any other plugins you may have installed (to see if there’s some conflict with one of them that prevented this.)
Hey!
So thank you so much. I did not follow that tutorial on how to create the bbPress subdirectory in my theme. I built this theme from scratch and read somewhere that bbpress first looks in your theme files for the template files and had already moved everything exactly the way you described. I found that link in the file and BAM! THANKS SO MUCH!
Adding for completeness: I have bbpress-functions.php and bbpress.php in the main theme directory, not in the bbpress subdirectory.
You can take out <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?> in content-single-forum.php . I have a bbpress directory in my theme (eg mytheme/bbpress/) where I’ve copied the entire default template and those files overwrite the default theme which I got from templates/default/bbpress in the plugin.
So you’d have something like yourtheme/bbpress/content-single-forum.php. I’m looking at this https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ and getting confused but I have a feeling you’ll work it out! Anyway, that’s where that code is.
I have seriously looked everywhere and I am not sure what else to do. I am somewhat a noob to bbPress but not at all to the wordpress way of things. Iam a freelance developer. For the life of my I cannot find how to remove the subscription link from the pagination. The best I could do was float it to the right of the page, I do not want to display:none it because I want it show on replies. If anyone knows where I can remove this I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

PS here is a link to where I would like it removed:

Oh, WP 3.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.3, thanks!
For the topics archive showing all topics, you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] on a normal WordPress page.
“All replies” is slightly different. You could use the Recent Replies widget (https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/) if you had a page with a widget for the content but if you wanted a proper archive page, I think you’d have to make a new template for it. I think it’s one of those things that if enough people ask for it, it might get prioritised for future versions but that’s just a guess. If you are comfortable making page templates, I can post how I did a “latest posts” page (posts = new topics + replies).
I’m not sure what part of the menu you mean, I’m sorry. Do you mean how “support” (with a link to /forums) is highlighted above even when you’re on a topic page? They use a custom nav file:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-nav.php
If I were trying to replicate that, I would use jQuery to add the current-menu-item class to the top forums list item – not that it’s is the right way to do it, it would just be the easiest for me to do and to maintain. You’d need to add it to a javascript file in your template or make one and then include it. If you’re interested, I can post that code – you will need to add a custom class to your forums menu item too.
Sorry, I know that wasn’t too terribly helpful!
I want to keep my menu navigation to present that they’re under the current page(menu), but bbpress doesn’t keep highlight on the menu to show the state when they go to individual topic or reply page.
I would have wished that bbpress topic or reply would have a WordPress Template page to be linked like as a normal wordpress sub-pages so that I don’t need any workaround in the first place. In other words, all the bbpress topics or replies must be only displayed on the page that admin users created.
created WP page slug: forums -> topics (all topics here) -> replies (all replies here)
Anyway for now, how can I make the menu like this site?
This is community software – why not get involved and crack open the plugin, see what it does and add it to the core bbpress software
To get started and learn about how to create a patch that is in the format we use here (and the entire WordPress Trac ecosystem) here are a couple of docs to get you on your way:

John,
This is significant. Are you logged in as administrator when you are posting?
If this is the case, then it may be a theme problem and not anything to do with bbPress.
thank you, Matoca
Everything was working fine few days ago. But from yesterday any topics i create or my members doesn’t go under forum. I tried again and again but no luck. I upgraded my wordpress to 3.8.2 and installed nextscript snap plugin couple of days ago. I tried deactivating snap, but that doesn’t solve the issue. I’m not sure what to do now, i asked few of my buddies, their bbpress is working fine with with wordpress 3.8.2, any suggestions are appreciated.
Wordpress Version: 3.8.2
BBpress Version: 2.5.3
Forum Link: http://www.nullnix.org/chat-boards/
From bbPress.org:
bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true, 'size' => 100 ) );
To set a good expectation, these forums move relatively slowly. If you’re anxious about replies to this topic, tick the “Notify me” box and you’ll get an email when someone replies without the need to bump the topic.
@a42 this absolutely has NOTHING to do with Heartbleed. It’s so non-related, it’s almost inflammatory to advertise otherwise.
When you activate bbPress, you should be assigned the “Key Master” role, and redirected to the bbPress about page in your dashboard. If that’s not happening, that’s a bug, and you should assign yourself the Key Master role to have access to bbPress’s admin areas.
ok, is that as customizable as bbpress in the free version ?
(a shame that I have to look else where for some else as bbpress is highly customzable…)
Robin,
Yes, I understand. The description “can’t post” is very vague and certainly was not meant to confuse you. In her email copy posted above she finally described that the keyboard is not coming up. This happened to her twice, once after upgrading her ios on her iPhone and then again when she upgraded the ios on her iPad. So I am assuming this is a conflict with the ios release 7.0.4.
None of the other moderator are having trouble posting so I felt sure it must be something directly related to ios 7.0.4, bbPress and how bbPress signals the device to fill in the topic or reply form correctly. She can navigate the website and read the forum fine.
I use a google nexus tablet and I sometimes notice idiosyncrasies with scrolling down a forum page. But I am able to get a keyboard when I want to write a reply.
I have posted to the theme developer as well. Perhaps they will have a better idea of how this conflict is happening.
Thank you for your help!

I have a similar issue but need a little help getting it to work.
I created a custom profile field (Base, Primary) in bbpress called School, with a dropdown menu to select the school.
Based on the answer above I tried this, but nothing happened…
“$usermeta = get_userdata( $user_id, ‘School’ );
echo $usermeta->School;”
Obviously I’m missing something. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi All!
I’m using Buddypress with bbpress (groups with forums).
Is it possible to configure the sidebar to show ‘recent topics’ from only the group the user is logged into?
As is, the ‘recent topics’ widget displays all recent topics from all groups. I know a user can’t access the actual post of a topic not within their group, but I’d like only their group topics to be listed.
Thoughts?
Michael
@a42 I have decided to move to a different type of forum as I have realised by reading past threads that questions and issues raised are not well addressed, and in some cases not answered at all. I assume bbPress needs to updated to be compatible to the new version of WordPress.
@vinaunder It is going blank due to the plugin causing issues with the new version of WordPress. Go to your FTP manager, and save the plugin on your computer and then delete the plugin on ther server. You will be able to login into the dashboard. That was my issue in any case…
I suspect it has something to do with the Heartbleed / OpenSSL -flaw …
How can this be solved ? bbPress is – apparently – not up-to-date with that (?)
when I activate bbpress, my site gets pages blank, anyone know why?
I’m using WP version 3.8.2 and bbpress 2.5.3
Hi,
I’m running a WP site along with bbPress and BP. My problems began when I accidentally disabled bbPress and enabled it back again. From then on TinyMCE shows a blank space, no buttons and visual/text tabs are just dead, so users can hardly post a new topic.
I’ve tried nearly every possible trick known to man (cache, plugins, code lines..) but after 6~7 hours of failure I’m exhausted and frustrated. And what’s even worse: now the login bar (on top) and Twitter widget aren’t visible unless I (you) log in. Both were visible before the incident.
I hope anyone can help me sort this thing out. I’m not exactly an expert, so please keep that in mind before telling me what to do. Thanks in advance.
I’m using:
WP 3.8.1
bbPress 2.5.3-5249
my site: grafiscopio.com
Note: bbpress content is restricted for non-registered visitors
I would like users to be able to create a topic inside the applications forum, once the topic is published only the user who made it and admins can view it.
After some more searching I’ve found;
http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-private-content-wordpress-plugin/6390878
This is essentially what I would like but to do, but would have it auto enabled inside the applications forum.
I didn’t know what “post on the forum” means – after 30 years in IT support it could mean anything from the battery has run out to a very very specific set of circumstances, and anything in between.
Therefore it was only an attempt to see if your user had a bigger issue, like she couldn’t get forum access. If you don’t think it will help, and you will know your moderator, then ignore it, I just got it from a google, and given that no-one else had come back, thought it was worth a try.
It would be worth you seeing if this is a theme or plugin issue.
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
Robin,
I am not exactly sure what you mean here. I do know what the permalink for the forum is and /forums/ is part of it, but it doesn’t end the permalink. This is the permalink, with the website and forum name made generic for posting purposes:
http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/forum/ourgroup/
Is the second “/forum/” the issue? If I change this now, after many months, won’t this mess things up like bookmarks, menu links within the site and google records? There are three forums under /forums/ with different names.
The topic that the person would like to reply to is this (a topic she started on a desktop):
http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/topic/needadvice/#post-3735
To repeat, she was able to start topics and reply to topics in the text field prior to the ios upgrade. I guess I don’t understand how the permalink is conflicting with the display of the keyboard when she wants to enter text in the form on the page.
I do understand that js probably plays a role in how taps and drags operate on tablets and phones. In this case these are not triggering the code to display a keyboard but I wouldn’t know where to look for that code and determine what the issue is. Is it a general theme function or is specific to bbPress forms?
my best, matoca
