Those links in your post are for the old bbPress v0.9/1.x

You want themes that support the bbPress 2.x plugin search the WordPress Themes:
https://wordpress.org/themes/search.php?q=bbpress

You will also find that many themes that don’t specifically mention bbPress will also work due the the theme compatability built into bbPress.

Find a great theme that you like at give it a go and see what you think, I expect you will be pleasantly surprised.

Excellent, glad it got there eventually 🙂

I’m afraid the converter got stuck again. It did work – up to a point. I had to go about it very slowly though, converting 10 rows at a time and giving ample delay, so it took me several days to process. I’m quite sure that’s because of my host and not the converter. The converter seems to work. I’m extremely grateful for that. It was the oldest content I wanted to preserve anyway, so I’m glad that’s done.

Thanks again for your great help, Stephen!

I can see all topics and replies just fine in the backend and in the database, though it’s confused me that posts seem to be saved in the wp_posts table, not wp_bb_posts. I also can’t figure out where the new forum gets saved, because it’s not in wp_bb_forums, nor do new topics appear in wp_bb_topics. Anyway, they appear in Buddypress activity streams, and I can edit them in the backend, so it seems they’re just not making it to the page.

This is correct, bbPress plugin 2.x no longer stores the data in the old BuddyPress DB tables, each type is a WordPress custom post type ‘forum’, ‘topic’ & ‘reply’ which you would see in the wp_posts table.

After the import did you run the repair tools?
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
If not (or even if you did) it would be a good idea to run each of these.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest disabling all your other plugins to make sure there is no conflict:

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.

That said I think it is more likely a theme issue, what happens if when using Twenty Eleven/Twenty Twelve/Twenty Thirteen themes? Does the issue still persist?

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t seen this behaviour before and I can’t think of a reason right this moment why it would do that, needless to say if you can reproduce this by doing what you outlined above create a ticket on Trac with these steps so we can easily reproduce the issue and we can take a closer look.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Run each of these repair tools one by one:
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
• Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic

If this still does not fix the issue please cteate a ticket on Trac so we can look further into this.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

You could try this one from @jaredatch
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

Or search the WordPress plugins for others
https://wordpress.org/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using any WordPress user/member plugins to control access to different sections of your site?

Things also look weird with the theme you are using, what happens if you you switch back to Twenty Eleven, Twenty Twelve themes shipped with WordPress? Do you still see the same issue?

It may also be a plugin conflict

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]

Check your language settings as per this thread for Dutch

Problems with the language

As to why you are using anything with Brazilian Portuguese bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo I do not know.

[Stephen Edgar]

You may need to run the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

Also check your bbPress settings for roles, ideally this should already be set with ‘Default Role = Participant’ and ‘Auto Role’ is checked

Default user role
Select the default role for bbPress forum members as assigned by the ‘Auto Role’ option below, the roles are Keymaster, Moderator, Participant (Default), Spectator, Visitor and Blocked. For full details of the permissions assigned by these roles please User Roles and Capabilities.

Auto Role
Automatically assigns the default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.

Can you please create a ticket for this bug on Trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

Can you try the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you actually have bbPress installed as I can’t see it on your site?

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… Maybe a plugin conflict?

Thanks for your time. My dashboard language is Dutch. My wp-config is already set to define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’);

I am using bbpress 2.4.1 I have downloaded the translation for bbpress 2.3.x and put the .po file in wp-content/languages/bbpress and rename it to bbpress-nl_NL.mo.

I have my loop-sinlge-forum.php in my child-theme and it looks like this:

<?php

?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

	</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

This because I had to hard code for swedish language on line 41 and 43, just this is changed, nothing more with the code.

Thanks for taking your time!

The same error with the plugin: Antispam for bbPress 2.x

[cmlawson]

Fresh install and this is what I get;

How can I see the buttons? Where can I change that so it’s readable?

Hi All,

I write this post to share a discover I made while figuring out why bbPress wasn’t working.

I realized the plug-in “iMaster WP FAQ” generates conflicts with bbPress.

Once I deactivated it, bbPress started working.

Hi,

This is my first time using bbPress. I just added bbPress to one of my test sites, tweaked and did a few things, then I noticed I couldn’t add or edit forums.

As much as I can remember, this is what I did. I created a new forum and a new topic, then replied a few times. I unchecked the “Automatically give registered visitors the Participant forum role” and “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug” checkboxes. Then I created a user with a role of Participant and signed in as that user. I don’t remember doing anything as that user other than looking around. When I signed back in as the Admin/Keymaster I couldn’t add or edit forums. I double checked the user roles and deleted bbPress and reinstalled it.

There is no way to edit a forum, the edit link is gone: http://tinyurl.com/mk2qqzz. When I try to add a new forum, it says “You are not allowed to edit this post”.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Emma
