I will try to test out your theme (Simplecatch) to see if it is causing any issues, then come back to you with any solutions.
You can reactivate bbPress New UI plugin and use the CSS you had again as of course those plugins were not causing an issue.
Perhaps I added a page or category in a way I wasn’t supposed to. I tried to follow the step by step guide on the bbPress site but clearly I did something wrong.
This may be why your forum root page /forums is blank for some reason, but I will check it out.
I digged a bit further because I was almost sure that it could do it… and it seems so. Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
According to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/per-forum-permissions-by-group/page/5/ v1.7 had : Moderators can now be set to moderate all forums or just their group ones (plus any open forums)
To be tested of course if it helps with your question.

Hi Lakrush ,
@robkk
I have written to the author by email and on the support forum to see if I can take over the php or help with the project. I’m giving him some days to respond.
I have already adapted the php plugin with the input from the support forum there, now I need to test it still, but as said I’m waiting for the author to be sure he is no longer maintaining it himself.
Pascal.
Thank you very much. I did set up the bbpres.php template on the basis of page.php – the same way as I did in my test site. However, this does not work for the user profile at all on the live site for some strange reason. Just now I found a workaround by using CSS – not sure if this is the correct way. But I would really like to know what the bbpress.php works for all pages except the user page. The CSS I used is:
body.bbp-user-page.single.singular.bbpress div#content.grid.col-620 {
width: 100%;
}
body.bbp-user-page.single.singular.bbpress div#widgets.grid.col-300.fit {
display: none;
}
Please let me have your thoughts.
The forum search should show up on the forum archive page that is usually yoursite.com/forums by default and I do see it there on your site.
The input box for the math captcha could just be a CSS issue. Unless you have anonymous posting activated in bbPress, you may need to send me account details for a Subscriber/Participant test user account as I may need to be logged in to your site to be able to even see the captcha.
Also not sure why you are using bbPress with some other forum software plugin, you could possibly get issues by having them both activated together. If you are just importing from one to the other your simplepress data should stay in your database and you just import all of that.
You should try some troubleshooting to see if some of the issues could be theme related. Make sure to check in a theme like Twenty Twelve, and also check to see if Simplepress could be causing an issue if you have it activated with bbPress.

I have a fairly large vbulletin 4.0.3 forum (sql dump installed locally), and am currently testing importing it into bbPress on a local xampplite install. I have a clean install of WordPress 4.3.1 and latest bbPress. Running the importer, it has run through 1600 users, 1300 topics and so far 4200 replies (100 at a time), at which it has paused, with the wheel turning happily. My question is, what’s causing the pause? Are there limits (such as sql queries per hour) that I can change to speed up the process? And if so, where do I change them? Given it’s a local install, I’m not worried about performance impact if I allocate max resources to this task. Any info welcome!
And how long should I let it spin before deciding it’s stuck and terminating it?
TIA
I’m using the Cafe Pro Genesis child theme and the latest version of bbpress. I would like to add a border to the text boxes on the topic and reply forms but can’t find the bbpress css in Genesis. Anyone know where to find it?
Do you have any hidden forums?? Hidden forums are only for Admins and mods, participants might get a 404. There might also be a bug if you are using it with BuddyPress groups for group forums.
You can test to see if it could still be a user capability issue on your site too. Just installing a plugin that modifies the bbPress user role capabilities could mess it up and it could still mess up even if you removed the plugin. Some users say the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock resolves some user role capability issues just by installing it, so you can try that.
Makes sure to test this in a default theme to make sure you do not have multiple issues regarding capability issues and a theme issue.
Make sure to test with your normal Keymaster role and also with a testuser accout with a Participant role.
@paul-burwell
Yeah only Admins and moderators can see hidden forums. Private forums are forums for only logged in users though, participants can see private forums too.
I will test to see if there is a bug with BuddyPress groups later today.
I am having issues with the forums, I can’t see the forums. No matter what I set the forum user role too; even moderator. The forums are public and open. My administrator account can see the forums but not the moderator account. I am using buddypress with about 15 other plugins I figured it may be a plugin conflict so I disabled all the plugins except bbpress and buddypress. but I still don’t see the forums. Also on a side note my site has been doing weird stuff. I have all the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. I was wandering if there is a way to clear the server side cache as this may be the problem not just with the forums not showing up but with the other issues as well
I installed user role capability in the first installed i noticed this issue on, but while running a test, i chooses a different installation that does not have user role and capabilty editor, andthe problem remain the same even when all the plugins are deactivated.
Hello there,
I think, to have after a long testing found the solution.
For those who are perhaps facing the same problem:
It is probably important to use the same prefix from the original source of the database. If the login information and the prefix agree, works of import.
I wish you success.
Hey @Robkk2.0
Thanks for your response. But am sorry for taking to long to respond. Is just that I was tryen the new ideas you gave me to see which one will work it out. But I regrete to come back without any solution yet.
I deactivated all plugins except bbpress, but it does not resolve it.
I Have no caching plugin on the site as it stands now.
Ideactivated, deleted, re-install, andre-activated bbpress, and yet, no solution.
I switched theme to default twentyfifteen, and the issue just changed, but to no better.
Here is the situation on the default theme.
Logged out users can view the forum root, and every topics, but once logged with participant role, every page will start return to error 404, both the forum root, except the forums that are associated with the buddypress group, which can only be accessed through the group.
But with moderator’s role and admin role, been logged in, he/she can view the forum root and all othe forums, topics and replies the way it surpose to be.
Since installation, I was using Admin role and capability to access my site, untill I created a new user to test run some page do I started noticing all these. So I cannot tell exactly if it worked fine at onset.
Hi,
Running WP 4.3.1
Running bbPress 2.5.8
Recently installed bbPress and have been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to have it function the way it should. If a user is logged in (standard user) or not logged in and they try to access the forum (https://bsop.staging.wpengine.com/forum/lightroom-2/) they get a 404 error. If I log in as an admin I can visit that URL without issue.
I’ve tried every one of the debugging suggestions (deactivated everything but bbPress, used the 2012 theme, reset permalinks, reinstalled bbPress, etc.)
I finally activated the WP_Debug flag and see the following error being thrown:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /nas/wp/www/staging/bsop/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622
I’m testing on my staging server through WP_Engine so I have full ability to play as required to resolve this.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, thought I would let you know that I have discovered that there is a very sneakily hidden blacklist that cannot be edited at all in Mojo Marketplace. I removed this (it’s meant to provide some widgets and new – expensive – themes) and tested and was able to post – as were others. I hadn’t even noticed this previously because there is no way to edit any of the content or functionality in it.
Thank you so much for your help and patience.
Hello there,
I run at the time a vBulletin Forum with the version 4.2.2. I have placed a new WordPress installation today and bbPress install the latest version. I want to migrate all the data of vBulletin to bbPress.
Primarily are important to me, posts, attachments, users and especially the side structure (SEO).
I have the Importer with the correct credentials filled the Vbulletin Forum.
However, I get the following error message:
Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Table ‘dbxxxxx-11.forum’ does not exist]
SELECT convert (forum.forumid USING “utf8”) AS forumID, convert (forum.parentid USING “utf8”) AS parentid, convert (forum.threadcount USING “utf8”) AS thread count, convert (forum.replycount USING “utf8”) AS reply count, convert (forum.title USING “utf8”) AS title, convert (forum.title_clean USING “utf8”) AS title_clean, convert (forum.description USING “utf8”) AS description, convert (forum.displayorder USING “utf8 “) AS displayorder FROM Forum AS forum LIMIT 0, 100
No boards started to convert passwords reset Conversion
Why is that and how can I implement my plan successful? What am also very puzzled: Why is behind my database name, a point with forum added?
I would be your help very, very grateful. :))
Essentially that is the case. I had already created a test account – as I wanted to make sure that things appeared correctly to users previously. Excuse the language in the screenshot, but these are just a few examples (the “Go COCKS”, for example, is a word for word quote from a friend who was showing support for her college football team):
So any replies that say for example porn do not get posted?? Does it only check for participants posts and bybass yours?? You can create a test user that is a subscriber/participant and sign into it and tell me what error you get by using some of these censored words you have mentioned. If you post an image of the error notice it could possibly help me help you a little better.
Any error notice that would popup in bbPress about the user not having permission to do things because they do not have the capability to do so, like moderating topics, publishing topics from the backend stuff like that.
Wait the original code really still doesn’t work.
It really did work for me, and I have the latest version of WP too.
Well I am glad the workaround fix worked for you.
Could you CC the trac ticket so you can be notified of any new patch added onto there so you might test it in the future.
Login using your WordPress.org credentials then scroll down to the bottom of the ticket then click the add to CC checkbox, then hit submit changes.
Okay sorry for the late reply.
This is how I tested it.
Without reply threading
Topic author gets notified like normal no problem. It shows the repliers name and everything fine.
With Reply threading
Topic author gets notified of a unthreaded reply like normal no problem. It shows the repliers name and everything fine.
If the topic author threads under a reply. The reply author who commented that is being threaded does not get a notification, neither does the topic author.
If a user replies to their own reply the topic author gets notified.
if the topic author replies to an already threaded reply by another user, the topic author gets notified of the other user replying although it was the topic author. So although the user being replied to should get the notification, the user replying is.
iF a user replies to an already threaded reply created by the topic author, the topic author gets notified that they have replied although it was the other user.
If a user replies to an already threaded reply, sometimes the topic author may receive two notifications one with the user who replied and also one that says the topic author just replied also.
All i can really say that these notifications are a mess…
I am creating replies as a test user but for some reason the topic author is getting all of the notifications, even for threaded replies being posted under my test user’s reply even though in the code for the notifications it states that the test user should receive a notification.
I created a ticket for this bug in the trac though.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2869
I guess you can try this code instead to see if it works any. I guess I can can also just check out to see if the custom script file name changed. I am using an older version of Divi 2.4 for testing so it could be a possibility.
You can contact me here if you want me to check it out on your site later.
Contact
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );
function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {
if( is_bbpress() && bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
}
}
And if you have reply threading enabled, you will be notified of any replies threading to your reply.
thanks! Since you’re testing, I do have threading enabled: so maybe, my reply (to somebody else’s reply to my posted topic) is being treated just as a “normal” reply?
@henrywright thanks for pointing me to that.
Rob–Re. the image you post, that’s not quite right.
I’m actually getting the incorrect notification elsewhere: in my theme (2014) it appears at far right of the menu bar on the home page, in the colored bubble. Not necessary to click through to the user profile page.
I know what you are talking about now. I know I put an image of the notifications area instead of the little bubble area.
I can’t replicate it right now, though. If I knew what default behavior was supposed to be, I could probably figure out what’s causing it…
The notification action is responsible for notifying topic and hierarchical reply authors of topic replies.
So if you are the topic author, any additional replies you will be notified of. And if you have reply threading enabled, you will be notified of any replies threading to your reply.
Knowing if you should get a reply of your own post is the thing to test.
I will try to see if I can replicate the issue also on my test servers to see if I can replicate it also.
I am trying to say troubleshoot an issue if it could be something else like a theme causing the issue, so switching to a default theme could test that.
Troubleshooting
Remember reply pagination does not show up if you have threaded replies enabled.
Here is a ticket to fix reply pagination in threaded replies, but for now the patch only works for forums that are not hidden or private.
