I just installed bbPress today so the latest and greatest. WP ver 4.5.3. When I add forums and topics they do not show up on the Forums page when logged out. When logged in they do show up. These have been set up as Forum, Open and Public. Topics have been set up as Normal and Open under the appropriate forum. Why would they not show up when logged out but do show up when logged in?

try switching themes to see if it us definitely the latest update, and then contact the theme author

We would love have full WCAG 2.0 compliance 🙂

Our open tickets for further improvements are here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=General+-+Accessibility&order=priority

We will also follow WordPress’ lead and any initiatives by the accessibility team

https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/

There is also the accessibility team handbook: https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/handbook/

For bbPress much of what is needed right now is testing of our open tickets to make sure we are on the right track, any help would be graciously welcome 🙂

Do any of the mods or developers have an ETA on when v2.6 might reach beta or perhaps latest stable release?

Hi,

I’m having some issues between bbpress and Ultimate Member plugin.
Ultimate Member has a feature that lets us add custom permissions on the menu’s links, allowing X user role to see Y links on the menu. It always works well, except when I’m on the forums root (smilang.com/forums), where all logged-in users see the website menu as group X, no matter their current role. If they go on a specific forum or topic, the issue goes away and the menu gets back to normal.

See the images for an example:

On the forums root (Not OK)

Elsewhere on the forums (OK)

I’ve also contacted Ultimate Member’s support team about this, I just did a plugin and theme conflict test, it doesn’t seem like it’s my theme nor any other plugins than UM and bbpress. I’m waiting for their answer now but I was wondering if you could find anything that would cause this.

I’m using bbpress 2.6-alpha, I just updated in hopes it would fix things but it doesn’t change anything. WordPress 4.5.3
Thanks!

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hello we just installed bbPress and have a minor issue. It is probably a setting or something not I have not set up correctly im guessing.

Ok so the forum itself loads up ok fine, example:

Test Forum

However if we goto

https://aont.uk/forums/

The page does not show anything really worthwhile.

I have even created a page called “Forums” and added just the line [bbp-forum-index] onto the page, but still it shows up nothing of any use.

Anyone know what is going on here and how I could fix it?

Many thanks

I had a member post a snippet or two of php in a couple of replies without closing the tag. The order of the replies are now messed up. Sometimes a reply will post up before the last one. Sometimes it will go to the top. On some topics they seem to be fine.

I have deleted all of the entries that had code in them. I have run the repair tools several times.

I have even installed the “Sort topic replies” plugin. The sorting does not appear to be working with that, however the option to always have the main topic post at the top does work and does make it a bit better.

I’m using the latest version and the link is http://www.dualcreatives.com/forums/ but most of this is happening in the private member forums. The public forum only has a few and I don’t see it happening on those.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this?

[elronaldo]

Yikes! See previous post immediately above… when I finished with the above tests, I returned to the root forum display (public view) and the one forum I’d started setting up was gone, I assume as a byproduct of my 2 failed post attempts above. It was still present in the admin view of the forums, and editing/updating it (correcting some spelling in the headline and description) made it re-appear in the public view…

Gonna go try a couple of other forum plug-ins now, but wish I could use the one supported by WP creators… hopefully, we’ll get a solution soon and can come back to this plug-in…

ok, so something is turning it off.

I suspect that your theme or another plugin might be interfering.

Yes, I will set this up on my computer.

Is there a tool to test a testing site’s performance – in terms of loading speed? That is the principle problem I am facing.

Thank you so much for your help.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d strongly recommend you have a testing site.

Creating a Test Site

Whilst it will take an initial effort to set up, it is well worthwhile

I have WordPress 4.5.3 running AccessPress Pro theme on my site with the latest version of bbpress at 2.5.10.

I have the Search Function in my forum unfortunately the forum is not public. When I try to search, it only searches through the WordPress posts that I’ve created and not through the forum. I’ve searched with words that I know are included in the topics and topic names.

The search is doing the literal opposite of what I want it to do and what it says it should be doing.

[drkkd]

Thanks so much, Robin, for responding. But I have essential plugins like S2member enabled. I deactivate them and my entire business will collapse. I have customer roles in the plugin.

Is there some way to do this without bothering the main site?

Also, the problem is occurring at user end. I deactivate each plugin, it will take 24 hours just for the effect to happen, then contacting each customer for a report. Then repeat with another plugin. I have many plugins.

Is there an easier way to do the testing?

Thanks again for responding. This is awesome, this support system.

The site isn’t public but I have a test account available.

rangeplace.com – is the blog/site part
rangeplace.com/forums – is the forum part

Thanks @davelr1, great feedback, we’ll write some PHPUnit tests and and do some benchmarks of the two solutions in #1925 next, hopefully that will help us make the right decision to move forward with this ticket 🙂

Hi folks,

SMF 2.0.7 to bbpress 2.5.10 import
Wordpress version 4.5.3

I’ve just imported the SMF forums here on my server –

http://www.holistic-counseling.ca/Forums/index.php

to bbpress here on my server:

http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/

you’ll need to login to see.
user test
p/w 123456

At first glance, everything appears fine, although the number in the Posts column seems to be a product of adding the number of topics to the number of replies in a given forum. I don’t mind this.
Freshness shows zero, but that’s not a big deal either bc A) I can fix the freshness (but it results in losing posts and replies in the forums. B) Once new forum posts happen, it will repopulate.

now here’s the main issue
Upon clicking on a forum, it says:

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.

Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

So the top area states how many topics there are accurately but then only 4 are actually displayed.
This problem is consistent across the other forums. (sometimes only 3 or 2 are displayed when more are stated above)

Any idea what that is about? It’s the main issue.

note: i did a repair Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
and then the bottom forum dropped to 0 and 0.
Any of the forum repairs that I use that involve Topics creates problems in the number of topics and replies and doesn’t fix anything.

HELP is much appreciated.

note 2: here are the messages from the import
(I think nothing appears out of order to me, but maybe there are some issues with this)

Hello
I am beginner, and wanted to edit topic descriptions please tell me exact path from where it is coming, I am using Emmet LiteVersion: 1.4.3 theme and latest version of bbpress.

[smithcreate]

When I place the shortcode in a page, it renders the form as expected. And when I enter a username or email address, the form submits and refreshes the current page.

Example: http://www.ccghpa.com/test01/

So with the shortcode in a widget on my forums page I would expect the form to submit and refresh the current page. Instead, it jumps to a random forum.

I recently moved VB to bbpress for my forum.
i pruned a lot before moving.
9k users now.
20k topics
115k replies

I managed the import ok. the key to this is pateiance to a certain degree. the 2.6 alpha i am running worked better for the import than 2.5

However. if moving from VB your in for a bit of a shock. as it does not work the same way. so please do double check everythign before you move. one of my other posts has a plugin to create VB like urls as i came from vbseo across to bbpress which has a very different hierarchy.
however it does put your forum into wordpress which opens up amny other options. which is why i did it.

If you need any help let me know and i will do what i can to advise what i ahve done / used to make bbpress more like vb.

Two major things to not do
Do not leave the default notifications enabled when you move the forum. mine sent every notification ever out again. somethign like 250k emails got sent every time i did the import.
And on top of that i had several test versions so by the time i realised i had well and truly pissed a lot of people off.
Secondly the basic spam filters bbpress uses are different to how vb works and will possibly block some users. I know new moderation stuff is due in the near future but its not in yet so the spam options available are a bit difficult to work with.
