On my site, if a user clicks to go to the Profile Forum section, they see nothing. No topics, no replies, just says that there is nothing to be found.. rendering this section useless.

My questions is:

Why would a site would look to buddypress/bp-legacy for the profile forum template instead of bp-templates? This seems to be the root of my issue. If I try to force it, my site throws a 500 error on the profile forums page.

Ok, you can add the following to it

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	font-size: 16px !important;
 	}

16px is what it is currently set to, just alter the 16px to whatever size you want

h3 by the way is “heading 3” there are a number of different heading sizes that bbpress sets and uses, that are separate from your main themes h3

Great, glad you’re fixed

Well, 10 minutes after..I see there’s not much around. Went to the code and did a little tweak. I’m sharing this in case anybody need it:

add_filter( 'is_bbpress', 'my_bbpress_page' );

function my_bbpress_page( $retval = false ){
	
	if ( is_page_template( 'my-template.php' ) ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
	
	return $retval;
}

I’ll try and see if I have some time to make some docs around this. Having documentation is the key to have more things around this plugin.

Best,
Juan.

@robin-w I actually fixed it.
I installed bbPress when the Twenty Thirteen theme for wordpress was also installed.
When I changed to “Clean Black” Theme, bbPress was still using the Twenty Thirteen style. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it so that it would gather its styles from ‘Clean Black”. All fixed now. 🙂

Hello,

I’m using this function in order to enqueue some custom CSS when a forum related page is loaded.

The problem is for example, the “New Topic” page – Part of bbPress – gives FALSE when I call is_bbpress()

Is there any place where I can check about this function besides going through the core code? I’ve searched over the Documentation and couldn’t find anything.

Thanks,
Juan.

Hi, this is a problem by Yoast WordPress SEO plugin and other seo plugin wich don’t love bbpress…

You must to go in yoast settings to find any setting to configure it.. if is possible.. I have same problems with All in One SEO plugin.. And i writing to author plugin to resolve this issue…

Before to use a custom function to replace it, go in plugin settings and found one solution..

I have set up a Multisite.
I added bbPress and NOT activated it on Network level
I added a sub site (network)
I activated bbPress ONLY for that sub site
I created two forums
I navigated as super admin to the network dashboard to the theme’s Appearance–>Menus section just to find that I cannot see any Forum bars from which I could add any Forum to the Custom navigation –

I know from a non Multisite installation, that I should be able add an existing forum from a “Forums”-bar, but that bar is NOT there.

I scanned Google for hours and this forum usually came up but no replies had anything to do with it or helped even when I tried.

I do not want to workaround the problem by creating “links” in the top menu. I would like to see all the tool-bars of bbPress in the menus section of appearance.

1. Latest WP (fresh)
2. Multisite
3. no disturbing plugins
4. Standard TwentyTwelve Theme

Thankful for any hints

I had a heck of a time getting my theme Customizzr to work with bbPress. But your fantastic theme support made it possible. I have one weird thing left to fix still. The forum looks great, the user pages look great, the search works. But when you click on a user link, and it displays the user pages, notice that the title bar at the top of the browser says: Page Not Found | RedHorse CRM – Mozilla Firefox.

Any idea how I can fix that?

Hi.

Can’t post a link, because the site is under development, and private.

BBPress 2.4.1
WP 2.7.1
Buddypress 1.8.1

When using the forum search, whether from the top search box in the forum body or the side widget, all searches redirect to the front page of the site.

Site is using s2member – but I’m logged in as an admin, so that shouldn’t matter

Permalinks are set to postname

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, so apart from suggesting you re-install bbpress – I’m out of ideas !

[Robin W]

OK, all I can suggest is that you try

A re-install bbpress – it is possible it didn’t all download correctly and/or
Changing to a default theme (such as twentytwelve) to see if that fixes, if so, then contact your theme provider

After that I’m out of ideas I’m afraid !

[Robin W]

ok, plan B !

Try this for me

Bbpress sidebar fix
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate

Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets

And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This them allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar

If that doesn’t work, come back I have a plan C !

MySQL error log doesnt give anything special. All errors i see are the same for other databases, generic types.

Kunena3.php. Tried long time ago with Kunena2 too, but didnt work.
Updated Kunena forum to the last, just to test. WP is updated to the last.

Joomla is made locally with Akeeba but dont think it has something to do with problem.

If i only knew what makes problem. One or few Kunena topics deleted. Not big deal in forums, if you have hundreds and thousands of them. But as it is now all is black hole for me.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the update, if I get time I might take a peek at the ‘Kiss Portal’ mod for phpBB, it would be nice to finally get your forums imported into bbPress after soooooo much time. It took me a good 6 months to get my original site from phpBB to bbPress and now I write all the forum converters 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

Do not check the following setting:

Purge Previous Import Purge all information from a previously attempted import

Do check the following setting:

Start Over Start a fresh conversion from the beginning

There is something weird going on with the above that ‘Purge Previous Import’ setting that I am looking into, it works for some and not others and is really bugging me 🙁

In between imports if it doesn’t finish and you need to try again you will manually have to delete the imported users from the WordPress User admin panel and reset bbPress’ forums as per https://codex.bbpress.org/reset-forums/.

[Stephen Edgar]

Awesome everyone, there are still a couple of the regex expressions I need to fix, otherwise it would be commited to /trunk of bbPress now 😉 hopefully I will get these fixed tomorrow. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

@stagger-lee Thanks for taking another look at this, most appreciated. 🙂

I have a couple of ideas that I will try tomorrow and that should also include the removal of the hard-coded jos_ prefix.

Out of curiousity did you use Kunena2.php or Kunena3.php this time round?

[jsalomone]

I have gone through those steps a number of times already, including removing the membership plugin. This membership plugin is not specific to bbpress. It has no awareness of topics and users and such. It is to restrict access to wordpress pages and posts.

The way the forum is protected is by this code: https://gist.github.com/strangerstudios/1633637
What it basically does is determine if it is going to show forum content or not and then either not show it at all and redirect to another page (in my case the home page) or continue and show whatever the forum is showing. It does not discriminate between topics or replies or whatnot from what I can tell.

Again, disabling that bit, or disabling the membership plugin as a whole does not make a difference.

Walking through all forum roles: blocked shows a 404 page, all the others show the content except the first post (of type topic)

Walking through all wordpress roles: only administrator will show the first post (of type topic)

[Stephen Edgar]

@jaredatch/ has an update for this plugin that hasn’t been pushed live yet.

There were some instructions here

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

But they are out of date

Your forum link didn’t work, but if you post again, I’ll take a quick look to see if teher are any quick and easy changes you could make

[Nizam]

Good to see this!

Gonna try to convert my forum next week. (have to duplicate current database to ensure if anything goes wrong I still have the backup ) .

My forum stats : “405019 Posts in 13948 Topics by 8112 Members”.

I’m running on my own dedicated server, intel xeon + 8gb ram. I wonder how long it gonna take.

Wordpress + BbPress + BuddyPress + (WPMU?).
my very own Arts social network perhaps?

😀 Congratulation for all good work.

Regards.

[bbp-fan]

P.S.:

I use the Standard bbPress CCS.

[austinator414]

Hey guys!
I have a little test site running for fun here.
As you can see, when you click on the forums page, bbPress is extremely light and does not fit in with the theme I am using.
Can I get any instructions on how to make bbPress sue the same style as my WordPress theme?
I am not extremely familiar with coding, so simple instructions would be the best!
Thanks!
