That seems odd, can you refresh your permalinks and also run the repair tools on your forums and let me know the results.

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

My breadcrumbs are missing though, do i contact studio press about this or is there a problem known with genesis and bbpress for breadcrumbs as its hard for people to get back to the main page without them.

I don’t know of any issues, but I personally have never used Genesis so what would I know 😉

I would suggest having a search around for things along the lines of ‘genesis bbpress breadcrumbs’ here on bbpress.org and the Genesis ‘sites’ and support sites and see what you can find.

[Stephen Edgar]

You will want to take a look at modifying some templates for your theme, details on getting started with this are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Trying to reproduce your issue and I cannot reproduce it accurately, if I search for a password protected topic I actually see both the topic and the reply in the search results, you should also see both.

I presume you are creating these (or protecting them after the fact) in the backend?
(/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic), what I assume should be the case is that if you are manually protecting the topic you should manually protect the replies (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply) also.

In short bbPress doesn’t support password protected forums, topics & replies officially, yet. There is ‘some’ support in the backend and partially in some of the templates but we haven’t got ‘all of it’ in bbPress yet.

You will also have issues when browsing the topics via eg http://example.com/topics/ and not see the actual topics list. There are probably a few more places where this will break also.

Create a ticket on trac to remind us to look at this for a future bbPress release.
(It will also act as a subtle reminder to keep it in mind whilst other code is written)

Hi, thanks, it wasnt letting me change them but realised its because I am using a genesis theme and i needed the plugin to makea few thing work.

My breadcrumbs are missing though, do i contact studio press about this or is there a problem known with genesis and bbpress for breadcrumbs as its hard for people to get back to the main page without them.

Thanks

Hello Community,

I use bbPress V2.4.1 with WP V3.6.1 and have a problem with sorting the posts in a thread.
Normaly everything is fine. But if I edit a post, the sorting get wrong.
For example:
There are some posts in the thread
– 01.10.2013 Post 1
– 02.10.2013 Post 2
– 03.10.2013 Post 3
– 04.10.2013 Post 4
(everything is fine)

Now I edit the Post No. 2:
– 01.10.2013 Post 1
– 03.10.2013 Post 3
– 04.10.2013 Post 4
– 02.10.2013 Post 2

After this I write a new post:
– 01.10.2013 Post 1
– 03.10.2013 Post 3
– 04.10.2013 Post 4
– 05.10.2013 Post 5
– 02.10.2013 Post 2

Is this a bug or is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot!

[antoniopapa91]

Didn’t noticed it was there O.o. Thank you very much :).

I checked it also with only bbpress plugin and theme TwentyEleven as well as TwentyTwelve..
but its not working

[Stephen Edgar]

You can set your forum slugs based on these docs https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-root-slug

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest finding the offending plugin…

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

Most likely the port will be 3306, if that doesn’t work you will have to ask your web host what port number they use (if you do confirm the other database settings with them at the same time)

I’ll see how I go and will try to get the smilies into a new version shortly.

[ricov4]

@manuxel is there another way to find it? I don’t have SSH access, and it could be timely to get from the client.

[Stephen Edgar]

@antonyc You can change the ‘Forum Root’ in bbPress settings

See the docs here for the hows and where https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-root-slug

[Stephen Edgar]

Upgrade to bbPress 2.4.1 and you will due to all the bug fixes your issues will be resolved.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check that you don’t have any plugin conflicts…

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

Also check if you have a problem with your theme, check if it happens with TwentyTen or TwentyEleven.

It could be a plugin conflict…

[manuxel]

And @ricov4 if you have SSH acces try
netstat -anp | grep -i mysql

[manuxel]

By the way, congratulations Edgar @netweb well deserved promotion…

[ricov4]

@netweb I had originally taken all of my information from there for the import, and I have attempted again since then.

Where can I find my database port number? This is unique to my hosting server?

[radleycollector]

I have installed the BBpress plugin so I can incorportae this into my wordpress.

But I had to do a mingle import which has worked.

But now I am left with the following url:

www .mywebsite .com/forums/forum/myforumname

I have used this to make my main page :
[bbp-forum-index] on the page /forum

But I really want to change the rest to /forum/forumname and not /forums/forum/forumname

Can this now be changed and how?

And also by using [bbp-forum-index] does it effect seo as no content is on that landing page?

many thanks

[Robin W]

ok try the following

Create a page called “forums”

Put some welcome text at the top eg “hello welcome to my forum”
Then put the following:
[bbp-forum-index]

If you’re using custom menus – add the page to your menus

Then go to dashboard>plugins>add new and load in BBpress WP Tweaks

Then go to dashboard>appearance>widgets and you’ll see a bbpress sidebar

Load in items such as

bbpress login widget
bbpress forums list
bbppress topics list

Then view the site

You should have a forums page something like

http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums/

with a forum specific sidebar

with normal sidebars appearing on other pages

Welcome

If you need help in adding any of the other items in my forum sidebar, just let me know

Jesusismygrace,

I am NOT a programmer, just an avid WordPress user. The last theme that I used was the popular Customizr that is still based upon Bootstrap 2. I couldn’t get bbPress to work with it properly.

I switched to Ward Pro https://themes.bavotasan.com/2013/ward-pro/ because it is based upon Bootstrap 3, and thought I would have better luck. Not necessarily so.

I am still thinking (but not sure) that bbPress has to be displayed as Pages in a WordPress theme. If that is done, then some themes will allow the user to add sidebars to display sign-in features for visitors. What I don’t get is that bbPress opens a window for each forum, but the WordPress Admin window doesn’t show it as a Page that can be edited ?!

I don’t quite get it, but I’m not a programmer…just a user.

[7esmla]

Hi Jhon james.. I just followed your video tutor bbpress on youtube, maybe I have missing html if possible check my setting plss http://new3dline.com/forums/ how resolve the code?
Thk you

[manuxel]

@remcob00 You’re right, it does look better.

[Holly]

Was sent here from MySiteMyWay (my theme) so see if you could tell me how to change the path in the plugin referenced in the quote below:

If you use these templates, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/BbPress, then you can add CSS within them to hide that.

<style type = “text/css”>#intro { display: none !important; }</style>

Okay, I actually tried those, but removed them.

The issue with them is that I cannot use /forum/ as my forum root. Doing so throws my students out to the public main page. I have to have my forum root as /classrooms/htts-boot-camp-forum/ to allow them to get back to class from the forum pages.

So is there code I can use in the plugin to allow me to use that forum root?

If I can change my forum root within the plugins linked above to /classrooms/htts-boot-camp-forum/ (and get BOTH of those elements of the path to show within bbPress) I’ll be able to remove the doubled headers from all of my bbPress pages.

Hoping there’s a string I can insert within the plugin to make this work.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
