Run the repair tools and your 4 topics should come back
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Create a page, and put the following shortcode in it
[bbp-forum-index]
or if you want to get more specific then look at all the shortcodes
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Vkymunir, you should really start your own topic, but as you’ve posted here, go to the following link
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Adding this to your themes functions.php will also get your list verticle π
function your_custom_bbp_list_forums() {
$args['separator'] = '<br />';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'your_custom_bbp_list_forums' );
When new users register on my website, they are not being sent an email with their password. Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress plugin 2.4.1 on WordPress 3.7.1. My site is http://birdingacrossamerica.com. I am using the shortcode [bbp-login]. Previously I had no problems with users registering, getting their passwords, and being assigned the particpant role. I’m not sure when it changed, but it is no longer working.
Thanks for your help.
Does this fix it?
Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic

Thanks π
Yes, I see this on your site, I just can’t reproduce it.
There are a couple of improvements that can be done for the ‘Reply Widget’ code so I will go and implement that and do some more testing.
Longshot here, removing and adding the widget from your site. π Delete the widget from your footer sidebar and any other instances of the widget in the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section. Now add the widget back again? How did that go?
I am not seeing this myself, can you run each of the ‘Repair Tools’ one by one and let me know if this fixes this for you.

Hi,
Is there a shortcode just displaying pending topics?
Like this: bbp_is_single_user_topics_pending?
Please I need help. Thanks.
Hi guys – I want to create a Facebook newsfeed style interface on a site using only bbPress. I’ve run BuddyPress installations before and that’s way more functionality than I need, or want to manage. All I need is the ability for registered users to post something and to have other users comment -> simple forum. The trick is to mash-up everything into one template, topics with their replies, that paginates just like the Facebook newsfeed.
I’m wondering if someone has done this, if it’s even possible or if there are limitations within the code that make that impossible without BuddyPress. My guess is it requires a custom template with a set of custom queries. Any leads or insights into this would be appreciated. Thanks!
I did what suggested. Going 5000 locally with 0.2 seemed to work fine. However I got again the “dashes” problem. And I was still logged in when it happened (auto-refreshing my admin page). Also stopping and restarting the import, it just continue giving dashes like this:
-----Starting Conversion-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Converting replies (425000 - 429999)
Converting replies (420000 - 424999)
Where it says starting conversion is where i stopped/restarted it. In the try of my first post it also started giving dashes around the 450000th post.
What can I do?
DO NOT USE ANY QUOTES, just use wp_
The Forum Recent Replies widget is showing the wrong time and date:
For Example:
guardianwill on Welcome
8 years, 5 months ago
The site has been in design for less than 2 months. When I look at this entry the right time and date is displayed
November 4, 2013 at 9:30 AM and then the reply message.
Thanks for any help.
using wp 3.7.1
buddypress – 1.8.1
bbpress – 2.4.1
buddypress-default theme
the forum recent topics is working correctly and showing the proper time.
Thanks in advance for any help concerning this issue.
you can view at http://tvbari.org and scroll to the bottom footers to the right.

Go to your BuddyPress settings /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings
And toggle the setting ‘Blog & Forum Comments – Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-user-settings
Disallow editing after
Set this to the time (in number of minutes) to limit post editing. Once the time limit has been reached the forum post no longer be available for editing to forum participants. Administrators and bbPress Moderators can override this setting at any time.
You should also see the ‘EDIT’ (and other tools) like this:

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.
Also try the repair tools https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Did you use single or double quotes around wp_?
The error you show above showing the error as \βwp_\βforum_forums is an odd one, if things were working correctly I would expect the error to look more like this wp_forum_forums.
Open up your wp-config.php file again:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
Make sure the values above are the ones you are using on the bbPress import settings and that you select Mingle as the import type.
If you still have the same issue you might have to have a chat with your web host to see if there is some extra SQL settings needed by them.
It’s quite simple to get ti up and running – just work you way through the following resource
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
If you are using a default core theme, it’ll be going in a couple of hours. if you have a custom theme, the functionality will be there, but the look and feel might be a little different from your theme, and you’ll need to style it – not that hard to do, but does require some knowledge of using FTP and a code editor.
I’ll be finishing this article during the next week.
is_user_logged_in()
is the function you want
$user = ( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;
will get you the username, so probably
is_user_logged_in($user) should get you there
They should be renamed to bbpress-ru_RU.po & bbpress-ru_RU.mo
They should go here -> /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
(If you put them in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages they will be deleted when bbPress is updated)
Full details are here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
And Russian here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/russian-%d1%80%d1%83%d1%81%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9-ru_ru/
It looks like you used wp_forums_\ as the table prefix on the importer settings, as a quick guess I think it should be wp_
Edit: You can confirm what this value should be by opening the wp-config.php file in the root of the WordPress install that has Mingle forums installed.
/**
* WordPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
Typically the ----- dashes occur once you are no longer logged into your site, opening up another page and refreshing it every 2-3 hours eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/index.php should get you around this issue.
As long as you don’t hit memory issues drop the delay time from the default 1 second down to 0.1.
I’d have at a guess the 5,000 & 10,000 settings you tried might have actually been too much, I’d love to be able to get some more SQL debug messages into the output display though to achieve this much of the importer needs to be rewritten so that will happen in a future release.
Down the track I’d like to write some bash scripts to do this directly (using WP-CLI) but this is a way down the track and is not planned at this stage.
Thanks for this and yes, confirmed π
I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472
I also added the full Mingle.php with the patch included, could you download this and test it.
It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.
