Presuming you have default permalinks (don’t worry if you have no idea what this means) then it is a known issue with wordpress 4.0 and is in the queue for a fix on the next release.

in the meantime you can either

move you child themes up a level

or (better) change your permalinks to ‘pretty’ ones.

see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks for explanation of what a permalink is

go to

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and set them to ‘postname’

this is my first time i use BBpress to build a forum website.

this is my web: http://www.buangstres.gratis/
i use WP version 4.0
i use theme Skeleton: http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/

i use these plugins:
– akismet
– easy WP smtp
– simple local avatars
– simple shortcodes (reccomendation fro the theme)
– WP-members
– WP-pagenavi (reccomendation from theme)

i found that all my Child forums having problem: page not found

this is what i’ve already done:
– reset the permalinks
– deactivate all plugin (include bbpress), activate only bbpress

all isn’t working

need the solution desperately… anyone can help me? it will be a huge appreciation from me

[josuawahyudi]

– WP-pagenavi (reccomendation from theme)

any suggestion for me? i need help desperately…

these anti-spammer and security plugins look interesting too, but i have not tested them myself, they should work fine with bbpress but always test carefully for possible confilicts with other plugins you are using, especially plugins that have similar functionality

https://wordpress.org/plugins/avh-first-defense-against-spam/

and wordpress security is a bigger topic than just dealing with spammers, but sorting out the specifics is up to you 🙂

Hi everyone,

I would like to disable completely the mentions feature in forums, even if someone put accidentaly a “@” before a username for exemple “jack” I don’t want the result “@jack” to link to jack profile.

I’ve got Buddypress and bbPress,

the code add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' ); disable BP mentions but not bbPress mentions, how can I do that?

[Edit] thanks to danbp, here is the solution: add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' );

Thank you very much for your help

Hi there,

I’m having a browser issue on a registration form that causes it not to work in safari or IE but it works fine in Chrome.. If you visit this page and without filling anything in, just hit ‘complete sign up’, in Safari nothing happens, but in Chrome the field errors are displayed as expected.. any ideas on this? I’m unable to successfully register in Safari.

In the code, the errors (e.g. <div class=”error”>This field is required.</div>) are never generated in Safari (to rule out a css issue)..

http://sapoa.staging.wpengine.com/bbpress-register/

Thanks, Jon

i added mine by copying loop-topics.php to my child theme and placing it above

<li class="bbp-header">

it looks like you want it to be above the header in loop-replies.php though.

[Robkk]

@terriswiatekyahoocom you can create a simple href link to go back to the forums thats how ive done it before. i just did this before <a href="example.com/forums"></a>

@robin-w i think you can create a function using <?php echo site_url(); ?> and
<?php printf (bbp_get_root_slug() ); ?> , i suck at php so i ended up with this sloppy code

<a href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>/<?php printf (bbp_get_root_slug() ); ?>">Back to Forums</a>

[stefansill]

css code:

.bbp-topics ul.status-closed {
display:none;
}

I have insert

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 12px;
}

in bbpress.css but nothing has changed.

[Robin W]

you should change it as per the previous post

bbPress Styling Crib

No. 5 is what you need to change, and the guide link at the top of the link above tells you how to do it.

[msjulian]

I have bbpress installed on a WP multisite installation. Everything seems to be working very well except the ← Back to discussions link. It directs to the multisite home page. I have the forum displayed on a page named discussions with the short code. I have the slug in the forum settings set to discussions. I have the permalinks set to post name. I for the life of can’t seem to get the link to work correctly.

Please help…

bbPress Styling Crib

see no. 5

[Robin W]

If I have understood you correctly you want to change the reply form you’ll be looking at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php which sets up the forum and on line 57 calls

bbp_the_content

this function is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\includes\common\template.php

line 1706

you’d probably want to write a filter fro that function

if you’re familiar with wordpress args parsing, bbpress does it in the same way

apply_filter (‘xx’ , ‘bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args’)

and then write a function xx that adds you initial text to $args[‘before’] should do it

Don’t; have time to write and test it at the mo, but come back if you need further help

[Cariva]

Hi there, I want the forum’s topics to be visible to non-registered or logged out users, but not the actual content/text – ie non-logged in people can’t drill further down than the forum level. Is there a plugin/code for this?
Many thanks in advance 🙂

[AlexSpace]

I have seen a lot of forums whith this feature too, but it wasnt bbPress. I even dont know where should I change a code, I cant find this function template. I think that I could write a code for the feature by myself, but I need to find the template.php.

[creator2000]

Any idea what I did wrong and how to fix it?

Got it figured out! In the new bbpress.php file I changed line 22 code:

from this
<section id="main">

to this:
<section id="main" class="col-left">

All good now!

[Peter Kriegel]

I post only to confirm that I have a similar issue.

I have enabled the Crayon Button to Post code over the crayon Popup.
It inserts allways the pre Tag with a class attribute.
If I Post as Admin with Crayon Syntax Highlighter in bbPress all is fine.
If I post as a User the angle brackets of the preliminary pre Tag are geting masked like so:
& lt; pre class=”lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected” & gt;

If I remove the class attribute and put in a simple < pre > all works fine.

@netweb Thank you for your workaround I will Ty it!

[naaatasha]

Where can I insert this long code? I’m beginner in bbpress 🙁

[Robin W]

bbpress has two ways to display the forums – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

You just have a page called chat, whilst the slug is still set to forum, so the latter is what the breadcrumb shows.

so you need to do two things

1. change the slug to chat
2. get bbpress to use your template with a sidebar

I was trying to fix no. 2 first

Suggest you refer the issue to you theme provider

[Robin W]

so if you wanted to change ‘Create New Topic’ to ‘hello mother’ you would do

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Create New Topic' ) {
	$translated_text = 'hello mother';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[Toby]

Not quite sure if I understand exactly what you want, but one of these should help..

If you want to display a search form at the top of single topics add the following to your functions.php file:

    function my_bbp_topic_search_form(){
        ?>
        <div class="bbp-search-form">
     
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
     
        </div>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'my_bbp_topic_search_form' );

If you want a search form at the top of single forums (or sub forums) use the following in your functions.php file:

    function my_bbp_forum_search_form(){
        ?>
        <div class="bbp-search-form">
     
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
     
        </div>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'my_bbp_forum_search_form' );

If you want to limit results to the topic or forum in question that will be a little more tricky but the following post will point you in the right direction (it shows you how to limit searching to a single forum – you’ll need to customise further to apply it to a single topic): http://sevenspark.com/tutorials/how-to-search-a-single-forum-with-bbpress.

Hope that helps.

[Robin W]

ok, make a copy of this file and rename it bbpress.php

put this file in the root of your theme

ie

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme!

Then amend as follows

change

// Sidebar
 /////////////////////////////////////////////
 if ($themify->layout != “sidebar-none”): get_sidebar(); endif; ?>

to

// Sidebar
 /////////////////////////////////////////////
 get_sidebar();  ?>

This will then force bbpress to use a forum with a sidebar

Hi Guys,

I would like to see link to last post in my Forum Widget but i cannot figure out.

This is the code for widget i use:

<!-- This file is used to markup the widget for Recent Topics info -->
<table><!-- AKKI - dodao alajment left AUG 22 2014 -->
    <tr align="left">
    	<th>Topics</th>
    	<th>Posts</th>
    </tr>

    <?php while ( $widget_query->have_posts() ) :
            	  $widget_query->the_post();
                  $topic_id    = bbp_get_topic_id( $widget_query->post->ID );
 	?>
    <tr>
    	<td>
            <a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink( $topic_id ); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title( $topic_id ); ?></a>
        </td>
        <td>
        	<?php echo bbp_get_topic_post_count($topic_id, false);?>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
</table>

If you can please tell me what should i replace to get link to last post on my forums?

Thanks
