All first posts on an area are “topics” and the subsequent ones are replies, so it is correctly doing that.
These are called custom post types
User levels (eg admin) would/should not affect this
I suspect the issue is in your memberships plugin – even though you’ve tried. Do you anywhere define what is shown to users? if you can find the word “replies” anywhere then look for adding “topics” as well.
I’d suggest that you add a new user (yourself but under another name) and then play with the settings for both wordpress and bbpress. I presume you are aware that when you have created a user, if you go back into edit then you’ll see a bbpress role for each user. So play with both of those and see what displays topics and replies and then come back.

It’s only a small thing – basically. Nevertheless, since a few days I am on experiment, only to enlarge the font size of the links “forum-title” and “topic title”. 🙁 And only these two! (no other font-size in the forum) I’m not successful. Despite the use of Firebug I do not find the correct place in the CSS.
I also do not understand what in this line
# bbpress-forum div.bbp-forum-title h3,
the “h3” is. My “h3” is much larger defined, but is not taken.
Which “h3” is meant and where it is defined?
Please help! I’ll go crazy 🙁
ok, I’d try installing WP-tweaks again.
You should see a bbpress sidebar in the dashboard
dashboard>appearance>widgets
and it will be on the bottom right.
Populate that with some widgets and it should appear.
If not come back and I’ll give you another solution
The issue is that in loop-single-reply the variable $user_id is not set. I’ve just written a plugin for this, which should work – it does on my site, but I am trying to work out why it doesn’t on another who also has buddypress.
You installing it would help me determine if it is me !
Download to your pc, and then upload to the plugins
bbp topic count plugin
or crack it open to see what code I used
it looks like it fixed it, but i’ve added a few more replies and the counters have stayed the same
yes i’m using bbpress, buddy press, i have also installed buddypress achievements all latest versions
ok, you would easily see it in usermeta table if it was there.
would suggest that is why it is coming up a 0
can you try
Dashboard>tolls>forums
and then the tab ‘repair forums’
and then click “count topics for each user” and “count replies for each user”
and see if that fixes it
what versions of wordpress and bbpress are you on
do you have buddypress also installed?
No, absolutely same problem. Stuck at the same place.
Plus error with that hard coded jos_ in PHP, but that one is easy to fix. I type my own database prefix.
presume you mean this is the piece of code you’ve tried?
Enable Visual Editor
have you tried this plugin

@ Stephen, thanks.
My apologies i didnt answer earlier. Had many projects and not much time. Customizing bbPress is something i try to learn for future projects, and one project it is not hurry for.
I will test converting today and write results.
Just want to know how does bbPress include page templates (/templates/extras/….) into the WordPress page template dropdown which are available when creating new pages. Just want to know where the code exists in the codebase
I found out that I misunderstood your post. I downloaded plugin that you suggested and checked the code. I remembered that I used is_bbpress() somewhere and that was the solution for my problem. There’s the snippet of code that I used in my theme in file functions.php:
/* Do not search pages, only posts and if there's a request from bbPress or Admin panel than ignore setting of post type */
function search_filter($query) {
if ($query->is_search && !is_admin() && !is_bbpress()) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'search_filter');
Thank you very much again! 🙂 🙂
no, simply click the avatar – for instance since this support forum is bbpress,. just click the picture of pigs to the left of this post – you’ll see my topic count.
Do this for your website, an dit should show the posts for whichever user is in the avatar
If you click the avatar, you should go through to the profile page for that user, where bbpress shows the topic and reply count – can you tell me if those are also 0?
This will tell me whether it is a bbpress or my plugin issue
Hello
I installed bbPress Version 2.4.1 into WordPress 3.7.1 with Atahualpa theme and set up the forums.
I realized that editing is too limited to be useful. Some research showed that bbPress disabled the visual editor several versions back, but some people managed to activate it since then with some “code snippets”.
The code snippet does not work. I get errors. As I am not a Techie and for the most part do not know what I am doing, does anyone have simple instructions on how to get the visual editor in bbPress to work again?
Appreciate all help on this
Andy
You are right. There’s a problem because WordPress filters all searches, including the bbPress. Now I don’t know how to recognize if the search is coming from WordPress’s search box or bbPress’s searchbox.
I don’t need search box for forum on first/home page, but I need to filter results when searching with WordPress’s search box. I must not show pages in it, so that’s why I’m searching solution.
Thank you!
Actually, I found a thread that explains the issue better than I could when I first posted this. I’ve also updated it with more info:
New topics and replies not showing, freshness incorrect
It’s very strange.
Not sure how much help I can be, but can you post a link to a forum thread where this is happening?
and say which replies they can’t see – eg is it all their own replies, or just the first one?
I’d also suggest eliminating conflicts by disabling all the plugins (except bbpress of course!) and seeing if the problem goes away. If it does, re-enable the plugins one by one to see which is causing the conflict.
if the plugins are not the issue, then change to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it still occurs
Just to give some more info about this from what I’ve experienced too:
I’m using WP 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.4.1. I’m using the Fresh News theme from WooThemes. I tested this with another account and a friend. Topics are not an issue for me; it’s only replies that are causing an issue. I have also tried disabling my other plugins to no avail.
1. If I reply using either account, I cannot see the reply on the account that I made the reply with, but I can see it with my other account immediately. My friend can also see my reply immediately from her account and when she’s logged out. The same happens when my friend makes a reply. She cannot see her own reply, but I can see it immediately on both of my accounts and when I’m logged out. Refreshing the page (multiple times) does not cause the reply to appear for the user that made the reply.
2. If a reply is made by a logged-in user and the user immediately logs out, suddenly, their reply becomes visible. If a logged-out user makes a reply then immediately logs in, suddenly their reply becomes visible.
Something interesting to note is that I run the same site on two different domains with the same host but different servers. Everything is exactly the same on both sites… I just use one to test things before I install/transfer it to the “real” site. On my test site, I do not have this issue at all. Same exact theme, plugins, settings, etc. Everything is exactly the same, yet I am only having this weird reply lag on my “real” site.
bbpress 2.4.1 comes with it’s own search function, which only searches forums.
this post also describes forum only search boxes which might help

and also a widget

doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me
Nor to me !!
Perhaps one for JJJ or Stpehen edgar to answer
It’s no doubt linked to the fact that bbpress is a plugin. I also run MarketPress on my site (an on-line shop) and the user details for that also don’t appear until I edit – so it’s not just bbpress that doesn’t do it, which would tend to indicate a wordpress constriction, rather than bbpress failing.
I still don’t understand why the forum roles appear in the role drop down after I deactivate bbpress…doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me…but at least I can now add people with forum roles. Thanks for your help
You don’t need to deactivate bbpress, just create a user, then after creation go straight back in and edit – once you’ve clicked save on the create, you’ll see a bar at the top of the next screen that will say something like “xx user created – edit”, and you can just click that, so whilst an annoyance, quite easy
Or did you mean something else?
Happy to hear(read) that, and I envy you, I tried converting my SMF to phpbb first and didn’t work 🙁
Anyway, congratulations, enjoy this beautiful piece of software.
Thanks everyone! Its all sorted.
I first converted to phpbb and from there i converted to bbpress 🙂
Now just playing with bbpress feeling exited and happy!!
Have you tried on a local install of xampp or wamp in your PC?
Hi Robin – thanks for replying.
Initially, I couldn’t find what you were referencing…then I found it at the bottom of the user page.
So every user has to initially be given a blog role when added? do you know of any plugins or code which which would reveal the forum roles when I initially add users?
