@robin-w I do have access to phpmyadmin. I have been looking around, and the only thing that looks fishy is that the “guid” varchar(255) row has my old local environment in the URL instead of my live domain. So it is http://localhost/forum/topic/title/ when it should be http://example.com/forum/topic/title/ – But after I tried to correct that for the post and the postmeta of the thread’s latest reply (in a safe environment) it didn’t seem to fix the problem. I did notice that my old local URL was hardcoded over 220,000 times in my database though, I wonder if this is something that needs to be corrected for each topic/reply.
I tried to get creative by changing the “Replies Per Page” in wp-admin > Settings > Forums to a different number. That successfully recalculated the correct number of pages required for the non-affected threads (I set it from 15 replies per page to 30 replies per page, so a thread with 10 pages was updated with 5 pages, and the latest reply link updated to point to page 5), but the affected threads still have no “/page/##/” segment in the URL.
Right now I am hosting my site locally but here is an example of my code of my paper:
Title of Paper
Section 1 of paper:
Paragraph:
[bbp-single-topic id=1]
Section 2 of paper:
Paragraph:
[bbp-single-topic id=2]
etc…
I want the ability to have the readers comment after every section. But when I created the “BBP Topic” and use the “id” it automatically displays a blank comment(which I do not want). Do you know if this is possible?
Thank you for your help.
Also I am not sure there is a visitor WordPress role.
oops… no there isn’t – old code left on my test site !
and who gets what were just examples 🙂
I say edit Robin’s code and change
if ($role == 'subscriber' ) $new_role = 'bbp_spectator' ;
To this.
if ($role == 'subscriber' ) $new_role = 'bbp_participant' ;
And in my opinion you should not auto-assign moderators and just manually update the users roles for each of the users you trust to moderate the forums. Also I am not sure there is a visitor WordPress role.

Not really sure what you are doing.
Can you give us a link to a page showing the issue, and post the content of that page – ie the shortcodes etc. that is creating it.
not tested, but the following in your functions file should do it
you’ll need to edit the code for which role does what
add_action('wp_login', 'rew_assign_role_on_login', 10, 2);
//this function assigns user to bbp roles on login
function rew_assign_role_on_login($user_login, $user) {
$user_id = $user->ID ;
$role = get_role($use_id) ;
if (empty ($role)) return ; //has no role in the database
if ($role == 'administrator' ) $new_role = 'bbp_keymaster' ;
if ($role == 'editor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
if ($role == 'author' ) $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
if ($role == 'contributor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_participant' ;
if ($role == 'visitor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_blocked' ;
if ($role == 'subscriber' ) $new_role = 'bbp_spectator' ;
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role)
}
it would be code-able, but I don’t know of anything that does this already
Here is some CSS to float the forum subscribe link to the right. You can also just display in block to make the link just have its own row.
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#17-move-subscribe-to-right-hand-side
This css will fix some padding issues for lists in your bbPress forum.
#bbpress-forums li {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
Since I couldn’t really read what was in the red oval I hope this helps.
Hey Rob…
I figured it out…hadn’t realized that it was a matter of using short code on a Forums page. It is crazy that there are so many aspects one can customize when you have the bbp Style Pack.
Thanks,
Steve
The unit tests are passing, so my guess is that it’s a problem with a plugin, or (less likely) your PHP setup. The $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] doesn’t include the protocol (http:// or https:// in most cases), so that shouldn’t be an issue.
My guess is that there is some other plugin that’s filtering bbp_get_do_not_reply_address incorrectly. Maybe even some code in your theme’s functions.php file. Could provide a list of the plugins you’re using. Specifically, bbPress or email related plugins?
You can use either of these to disable subscriptions.
Forum Subscriptions
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subscribe_link', '__return_false' );
Topic Subscriptions
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_subscribe_link', '__return_false' );
Yeah I think it is better for profiles.
Add this hook to the function.
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'rkk_add_register_date' );
Try some plugin and theme troubleshooting since this is the most common.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/
Add && !bbp_is_topic_closed() to the functions if statements after the zero and before the ).
I do see them, they seem oddly big though.
This CSS is causing that issue. This class is used throughout bbPress for its avatars.
a.bbp-author-avatar {
background-size: cover;
padding: 35px;
display: block;
max-width: 100px;
}
@Robkk thanks, actually It works!
But I realized that if a topic is marked as closed without replies, the code you posted replaced the CLOSED label.
Is there a way to avoid label no-reply replace the closed label?
I mean, how i can make closed label the priority?
Regards,
@arutam to make the function work, counting the replies is exactly what you need to do.
Try this amd see if it works.
function rkk_empty_topics() {
$topic_reply_count = bbp_get_topic_reply_count();
if ( $topic_reply_count == 0 )
echo '<span class="empty">[No Replies]</span>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'rkk_empty_topics' );
This is a common theme related issue, where avatars are displayed in block instead of inline or inline-block. Add this CSS anywhere you can add your custom CSS like a child themes style.css file or a seperate custom css plugin.
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
float: none;
margin-bottom: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
display: inline-block;
}
Also, even after the plug in is deleted the roles (Keymaster and Participant) still appear in the user list under the “Role” column, but I thought they were only associated with bbpress. Is that correct?
This is a known bug, there is some code in the codex here to use to remove the user roles whenever you are resetting your user roles. Removing the roles and reinstalling bbPress might fix this issue, if it does not, you can use this plugin to switch to another Admin temporarily and then edit your user and switch its forum role. Make sure to edit the user by clicking the edit link by the users avatar. I think there is still an issue bulk changing a users forum role from the users list.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/
Make sure that your default role for users are Participant in Settings > Forums. Also make sure that the default blog role for your users is Subscriber in Settings > General.
If this developer only did a short job and is done, I recommend not keeping their account as Admin/Keymaster. If they are hired for a project that is not finished or is like say doing maintenance for your site for awhile, okay keep them, but you know just be cautious since this happened to your site.
Just to be sure, make sure to check out this link for more help.

Got it! This seems to work:
<?php
$reply_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
global $wp_roles;
$reply_user = new WP_User( $reply_user_id );
$roles = $reply_user->roles;
$role = array_shift($roles);
if ($role == 'graduate' ){
echo "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/page2/'>Graduate</a>";
}
?>
This also seems like it should work to me:
<?php
$user = new WP_User( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ($role == 'Graduate' ){
echo "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/page2/'>Graduate Link</a>";
}
?>
But it’s still not showing link in replies for uses who have “graduate” role. Any suggestions?
This is the best I’ve come up with so far, but it’s not working yet. Seems like this should work properly. It’s still getting printing the link in profile area in the replies:
<?php
$reply_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
global $wp_roles;
$reply_user = new WP_User( $reply_user_id );
$roles = $reply_user->roles;
$role = array_shift($roles);
if ($user_role == 'graduate') {
echo "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/page2/'>Graduate Link</a>";
}
?>
Thanks for any suggestions on how to get it right.
Hi,
I have the latest version of wordpress running (4.5.2) and latest version of bbPress.
Everything was working just fine before i moved my host from windows to Linux server.
Now i can see the forums and topics in each forum. but when i open a topic the content and replies are not shown in the pages, only the reply form shows up.
I can see the replies in the admin panel but clicking view from back end opens the front end reply to … without the reply content.
I have already tried these :
1) disabling all other plugins
2) switching to wordpress default themes
3) creating a new page with bbPress shortcode
4) copying the php code provided in other forums
5) removing and re-installing bbPress
it’s driving me crazy ! i have tried all 2 links on google’s 2 first pages for search results of “bbPress content not showing up”, “bbPress topic content not showing”, “bbPress replies not shown”,…
Best Regards,
Kaveh
