Two weeks ago I installed bbPress, there was the “forum” tag in the admin dashboard. I uninstalled it soon after I installed as I did not have any use back then.

But today when I reinstalled a few times, the “forum” tag did not appear at admin dashboard. Neither did the introduction page of bbPress that has the “go to settings” link appeared.

I tried on my other website and it has no problem. Please advice how to get the normal installation running.

Both are running on the latest wordpress.org version.

Hello,

I have followed the directions found here:

http://www.itsupportforum.net/topic/how-to-change-the-freshness-date-time-to-the-name-of-the-last-topic-in-bbpress/ to change the “freshness” from a date, to a topic title. I am happy with this, BUT… I am still having two issues.

1.) The freshness is still showing after the topic title example “1 month ago ____”
2.) The “Freshness title is still showing and I would like to re-name it to something else such as “Latest,” but instead re-name “Topics” to “Latest” to keep formatting correct.
3.) I would like to remove the remaining titles (such as “Posts,” & “Freshness”from the forum page as well, since they are not being used here.

If anyone could help me accomplish this I would be very thankful!

Example of our forum is here:

Thank you!

You were right … and the winner is “Instant Articles for WP” 🙂 thought that was caused by bbpress but further testing also saw troubles with Envira and ACF … seems that all custom post” have problems now 🙂

suggest you try re-installing

or

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

@robin-w Thanks Robin. I still need to use the loop-single-reply as it is, what I’m trying to do is call an additional custom loop that also threads. (I’m putting an index of linked post titles above the threaded replies. Example on my test site: http://jpr-test.com/boards/topic/lets-make-a-giant-thread/ )

The solution I came up with isn’t very elegant, but it works. I ended up creating a copy of the BBP_Walker_Reply class with a different name, just to direct it to a different loop. Seems like a lot of duplicated code to change one line. But I can’t think of any other way to do it.

Hi,

I have just installed bbPress on my existing website but any new topics or replies in these topics cannot be viewed (regardless of whether or not they done at the back or front end).

http://www.nextleveltravelblogging.com/forums/

The exception is if I make the topic sticky, it will show, but then the content and replies inside the topic do not. (I’ve tested this).

Feel free to make a few test topics/replies to see for yourself if need be.

I have tried reading some previous and similar forum posts so I have done the recalculate steps in Tools. I have also deactivated most plugins to no avail.

I have a feeling it will be my theme being the issue, but I am not going to install another theme just to test at this stage because I know I will lose stuff. If I’m going to install a new theme (which I’m not strictly opposed to doing) it will be to one I know works (I have another) and will keep it long term. But I’m looking for the solution that will be the least hassle as I want to get this up and running.

I’m on WP 4.5.2 and the latest bbP.

Thanks.
Luke

How can I get the post author’s name to appear in the reply RSS feed?

When someone posts, they (must and do) fill out their name, in the “Your Name” field. (That field has id=”bbp_anonymous_author” name=”bp_anonymous_name”.)

But the post author doesn’t appear in the RSS feed. The author is blank:
<dc:creator></dc:creator>
https://zimfest.org/topic/rides-offered/feed/

How can I get bbPress to recognize that field as the reply author? (It’s not actually anonymous!)

The forum is here:
https://zimfest.org/rideboard/
(The URL will change when this goes public)

What you see so far is just my own testing. This is a new bbPress forum that’s not public yet. I plan to make it public soon, as a way to create a (very basic) ride board.

WordPress 4.4.3; Responsive theme with customized child theme; bbPress 2.5.9; bbP Toolkit plugin (1.0.6); bbPress Moderation plugin (1.8.3).

I’ve created (I believe) a fully moderated forum by using the Moderation plugin. No one is expected (or able) to register on the site, but all posts must be approved (by me) before they appear. (This is how WordPress comments work when moderation is required.) I was surprised to discover that bbPress won’t do this on its own, and getting this behavior with the Moderation plugin is a little convoluted (difficult).

I’m not using bbPress’s subscription system. Instead, we have we manage our a mailing list in MailChimp that sends new posts via RSS to email. This works well for our blog posts and comments, but I need to fix some details in the forum RSS feeds. The blank <creator> RSS field causes my emails to say “by Anonymous”.

(In the RSS feeds, you will see my name as the author of a few posts, because I logged into WordPress before making those posts. But I don’t expect reply authors to log in; they won’t be able to do so.)

Also, how can I remove “Reply To:” from the title in the RSS feed? What line in which file (template?) do I need to modify?
<title><![CDATA[Reply To: Rides Offered]]></title>

First time posting here. Thanks for your help (and I hope I’ve followed protocol).

I posted this yesterday, but it has not appeared on the forum. I’m guessing that’s because it contained 3 links, so needed to be approved. Apparently it was not approved. I have removed one of the links this time (link to a 2nd RSS feed).

[designbysue]

That did not work. I still have the wrong widget showing up. The added page is displaying – I know because I added some text to test it, and even though I change the sidebar to the one I want the incorrect one is still showing up. I even tried to remove it and make the page full width and that did not work – the wrong sidebar is still there. Sure hope someone can help me solve this.

Thanks
Sue

I’ve just tested my phpBB 3.1.19 phpBB test install and everything worked perfectly without changing the founder state of an admin account:

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Just for testing, make sure your forum is ‘Public’.
Do you see the topic in the backend, so under ‘Topics’ ? Is the status ‘open’ and is it correctly ‘published’ ?

You might try to run the recalculation tools (one at a time) in ‘/wp-admin > Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ to see if that helps after you have created a topic.

Pascal.

[cigar07]

Thanks Pascal, I tested with Twenty Fifteen theme and it displays the new topic form, but with my personalized theme not. Please do you know how can I make it work? What do I need to modify.

Thanks for your help

Hi all,
I’m about to test a new version of an exixsting website, which will include Buddypress+bbPress – I’ve had a demo test site going on for a while, but today I noticed that I can’t see any topic which is labeled as “normal”, only important ones show up, and I can’t see any replies either…

The’re definitely there on admin, they show up on “last comment” widgets or “last forum topics” widgets, but not on the main body itself.

I tested it on the live website installing only the two plugins, the same things happens. WP is 4.5.2 on test and 4.5.1 on live, same results.

Here’s a screen of the problem:

Hi everyone loving bbpress and just had some questions. How do I export just my forums? I know the normal wordpress port allows me to export all my pages etc, and I can choose individual items, but I can’t choose say replies and forums.

Is there a plugin or some other function that will let me export all forum related data and users only? The reason I ask is because I have a running site, and I have a test version of the site with working forums. I want to put the working forums into the actual site, without overwriting existing content

Thanks
Rodolfo

I haven’t tested this lately, but you could export then import 1 forum at a time using this plugin. This plugin might only import topics that are not closed, and it may autosubscribe topic authors to topics, and maybe auto favorite too.

https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import

I recommend testing it out on a localhost installation.

[Robkk]

While testing the search widget that was in the widget area in your menu, and also the forum search in the forum archive, it seems to find topics from your forum fine.

[vogelsang]

This might be by design.

The ‘problem’ is that every user that has started or replied to a topic gets a notification everytime someones replies, i.e. 10 replies gets everyone 10 e-mails (even your own replies, which shouldn’t get you a notification).

I am using the latest versions of bbpress and buddypress. I have looked through admin parts of both bbpress and buddypress, but haven’t been able to change it to something “smarter”. It seems like I can turn all notifications from replies on or off, but nothing in between. Is this how it is?

[Robkk]

Can you post a link to the page on your site that you put the search form shortcodes, so I could test and see what possibly could be the issue.

[Robin W]

ok, suggest you use the latest activity widget available with my style pack

@mark-bigrock

Do threaded replies just not work at all in Internet explorer?? Have you tried other browsers as well?
While testing IE 11 on my windows 7 cpu, threaded replies seems to work exactly like it should, it even brings up the reply form like @kineta noted.

For some reason the form does not pop up to the reply you are trying to thread if you use firefox or chrome for some reason. But this is a seperate issue, does not break the whole functionality of threaded replies, it just doesn’t move the form.

This could also be a theme issue, Ive seen themes like Divi have issues with threaded replies.

I’m using a “from zero” made template, and the editor either the Text or the Visual ones appear..

There’s any function my template must have? I have no functions in functions.php but through that bbpress uses in header what it needs

Here’s my site:

No need to register.

Thanks

without seeing the site it is impossible to say

can only suggest

Any update on when the new version will be release?

I am using the latest 2.5.9 but still no success (I was using 2.5.8 when I wrote this post)

[dragondad]

After create a new topic, the topic page can not be displayed.

This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.

The only possible solution (when I test) is to ask admin to post it, I tried to change the user role
as admin, and bbpress role as keymaster, still did not work, any advice, thanks.
