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/

[Stephen Edgar]

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

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

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

	<li class="bbp-forum-info">

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

	<div class="bbp-forum-header">
		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
	</div>
 

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

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

		<?php 
		
		if (is_single()) {
			
			bbp_list_forums();
			
		} else {
		
		st_bbp_list_forums( array (
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => '<div class="topic-reply-counts">Ämnen: ',
		'count_after'       => '</div>',
		'count_sep'         => '<br />Inlägg: ',
		'separator'         => '<div style="clear:both;"></div>',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
		'show_freshness_link' => true,
		)); 
		
		}
		?>

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

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

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

		<?php bbp_forum_row_actions(); ?>
	</li>
<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
	<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count">
		<?php _e('Topics: ','bbpress') ?><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?><br />
        <?php _e('Posts: ','bbpress') ?><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?>
	</li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

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

		<?php st_last_poster_block ( get_the_ID()  ) ?>

		<?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?

bbpress Version 2.4.1

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

ok update to the previous

If you’re using a child theme, or one of your own, you can add this to your css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: list-item !important;
	font-size: 11px;
	}

and then bbpress updates will not overwrite

[Robin W]

If you want forums as a list, then you need to change the following

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

Line 120-122

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: inline;
	font-size: 11px;

change to

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: list-item;
	font-size: 11px;

This’ll then produce the vertical list

Now I expect to be told off for directly editing a plugin file, and if someone else knows how to get it to do the same with a themes functions.php or style.css, then I’d love to see how to do it.

You will need to make a note of this, as every bbpress plugin update will rub it out

[yannlossouarn]

Hello !

We recently migrated our forums to BBpress at http://fablab-lannion.org . I understand that before that, bbpress and buddypress forums were totally separated, and that buddypress forums came obsolete.
I achieved making all the group forums accessible through http://fablab-lannion.org/forums/ but AFAIK they all remain group forums. It is ok for forums that are linked to private groups, but I’d like the “Usagers” (means “users”) forum topics to be displayed at the root, if possible organized by categories, and keep an access to private forums. Does it seem feasible to you?

Thanks,
Yann

You have to rename the documentname also, it has to be bbpress-nl_NL.mo
What language is set in your WordPress installation (your dashboard, is is in english or dutch?)

If it is dutch it should work immidiatly, otherwise you have to make a small change in your wp-config file.

Change this line in wp congif:

define ('WPLANG', '');

to:

define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’);

I’ve read a lot of forums posts in bbPress and found them and the support from the community to be great.

When i try to install bbPress it always gives this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/examplename/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php on line 1220

Hi people-
I am clueless on php and css, and frankly don’t even know if it’s a bbPress-theme conflict that is causing my problem. In other words, I don’t know who to ask for help – a WP expert or a php expert. Any direction or guidance would be DEEPLY appreciated.

I’m running bbPress in the OptimizePress theme (all versions the most current, including WP), and the forum homepage won’t show the parent and child forums as a list.

It looks like this:
http://thrivingdiabetics.com/forum-2/

and I was really hoping it would look like every other forum on Earth, where all forums (parent and child) are listed in a vertical column. Right now you can only see 3 of 20 forums on that landing page.

Any insight, direction, guidance, total solutions, encouragements to give up would be appreciated. I was hoping to launch my site this week but am stuck here. I know I can re-structure the forums so there are no parent/child relationships but I can’t believe there isn’t some simple issue/fix here.

Thanks in advance!
With gratitude,
Matthew

@Maartje_1992, how did you use the 2.3.x translation for 2.4.1? I am also a dutch guy and i want my bbpress 2.4.1 in the Dutch langage. I have uploaded the .po file to wp-content/languages/bbpress. I have renamed the extension .po to .mo, but is doens’t working.
