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.

Apologies on the late reply everyone. I’m using 3.1, latest version (for if you’re not, it’s like WordPress and you will get hacker bots scanning for old versions.) Unfortunately that seems to be the issue. Thanks @Brandon and @Stephen for your assistance. Table prefixes were properly used. I’ll have another go at it again but I’m pretty sure I was using latest version of WP and BBpress in order to do the conversion.

Hi,

I did a test post on my forum then deleted it; however, it has not updated on the counter, so instead of saying there is no topics it’s still saying one topic/one user.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

There is a function: bbp_get_super_stickies() which is used inside the function bbp_has_topics(). This function basically returns a list of Post IDs from the wp_options table from a row with the key: “_bbp_super_sticky_topics” or “_bbp_sticky_topics”

So one approach could be: override default args

bbp_has_topics(array('show_stickies' => false);

Extra loop for stickys (not tested, just a sketch)

$query = new WP_Query(array('inlucde' => bbp_get_super_stickies());

Though i recommend looking into the function bbp_has_topics to be aware of all possible cases.

Hi everybody 🙂

And first of all:
– Sorry for my English mistakes :/
– Sorry if I post in the wrong forum(?)
– Sorry if this question was already asked: I looked for an answer for 2 days and I can’t find anything which suits exactly to my problem :'(

I am trying to create a very simple forum for this website: http://www.zykoson.com/site
I am using the latest versions of WordPress, BBpress, BuddyPress etc.
I’ve read all the documentation, lots of topics but I still don’t know how to have:
– One “public” part: everybody is able to see the forums and topics, but people have to be registered to post something.
– One “private” part:only registered members belonging to a special group are able to see and post in this part. I would like to manually add these users to the group, after they create their profile.

Really, I think I am stupid because I CAN’T get there. I’ve tried everything: private forums, public ones, creating multiples groups with Buddypress. But no way. There is always a problem (and even if I get something correct, there is still a problem such as the breadcrumb which doesn’t display correctly)!

Please I need help before snatching all my hair, I’m on the verge of abandoning everything T_T

Thank you very much in advance and sorry for this so simple question

Is the latest version of Dizkus v1.3?

Does this look like the source code? https://github.com/paustian/Dizkus

The partial work that you did could you post the source code to GitHub please and I’ll take a look https://gist.github.com/

I tested Chrome and IE11, but anyway it should work in all browsers. I have been trying to check around, but have no idea ! Any plugin that would be delaying things ???

As you we are talking tuning, launch your website also on https://gtmetrix.com/ . It will indicate some performance improvements (but this should have nothing to see with the issue you experience now)

Hi,

many of us in our new forums noticed that we have to double click on many links on the forums to open them. It starts right at our forums root page, please have a look yourself. Do you have any idea what we can do about it?

I already upgraded our hosting package to rule out server limitations. We should have more than enough server power now, even though our whole site is still quite slow (probably due to our premium theme), including the backend (if compared to some YouTube How-Tos, where they have lightning fast page load times).

We are running on WP 4.4.2 (currently latest) w/ MS setup, bbpress 2.5.8.

Thanks for your help
Manuel

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.

All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.

That’s what it is supposed to do – click my name here and you’ll go to my profile !

before you do that, lets just eliminate theme and plugin.

Hi,
Are you sure your $current_user already has data at that moment ?

Just before your if statement, try to run
get_currentuserinfo();
And just to make a quick test, you could always echo the ID just after running the above function to verify
echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";

I had looked at several videos and none of them talked about step 3 and setting up a page. I have now done that and I can view the page (called: forums). And the test forum I set up has “forums” in the forum root slug heading. But I still get page not found. This is the address of the forum I have set up:

http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/dmforum/

I’m now starting to wonder if the issue has to do with Aabaco. This is the company that recently took over the Yahoo web hosting. I followed the guide above step-by-step I’ve even tried deleting all of the created pages and forums I’ve set up, deleted bbpress from my plugins and then reinstalled it and tried again – I’ve actually done this several times. Do you think a call to Aabaco might solve the issue?

[pwonlineblog]

I submitted a new post because I finally deleted the WordPress and started over – but I’m still getting the same “page not found”

Here is the blog site: http://www.portwennonline.com/wordpress/

And one of the test forums: http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/testforum1/

[pwonlineblog]

I set up a new WordPress blog today and set it up with no changes. I may not ever use the blog but wanted the bbpress forum. I added the plugin and created several test forums. But every time I create a forum I cannot view it – I get “This page can’t be displayed”. I’ve tried just about everything you recommend (everything I can understand) and even deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to work.

My main website: http://www.portwennonline.com
Wordpress blog: http://www.portwennonline.com/blog3/
Two of the forums I created:
http://portwennonline.com/blog3/forums/forum/newesttest/

Hi @peterwsterling – Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Is it OK to ask a question here?

Is there a character limit to answers?

Please take at look at the test poll I set up here: http://www.walthamforestforum.org/forums/topic/poll-test-4-identical-to-problem/

I can select an option but clicking “vote” has no impact.

The otherwise identical test poll here: http://www.walthamforestforum.org/forums/topic/poll-test-5-please-ignore/ that has cut down answers operates OK.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

Check out ‘Peter’s Login Redirect plugin’.

I saw somebody also using this (but did not test myself):

function login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ){
    return home_url('forums');
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'login_redirect', 10, 3 );

If you made different versions of this function, you could test which url you are on and do the appropriate one?

eg

function change_root_english ( $args = array() ) {..the code in here with English words....}

function change_root_danish ( $args = array() ) {..the code in here with Danish words....}

then

if [site is English one]  {
add_filter ('bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'change_root_english') ;
}
if [site is Danish one] {
add_filter ('bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'change_root_danish') ;
}

I’m sure some googling would produce a test for which site you are on to go in the [].

[peterwsterling]

Yes, the plugin still works fine with the latest version of WP.

[Stephen Edgar]

If I was to try this I would jump into the database directly to have a closer look, but thats me, and I’m pretty confident I know what I’m doing here 😉

Presuming your taking backups so your data is safe and you have tested restoring from backup.

I’ve never actually tried this but what happens if you de-activate bbPress on the single site and then network activate it?
