Thanks for your reply – actually the forums index does show topics on initial setup. Here is a quick forum set up that I did in a few minutes to test and assigned the page template as forum index and it lists the topics below the forums.

Home Brewing

The issue isn’t a cache related issue but do you think it could be related to permalinks. For some reason when a topic is created and assigned to a forum it shows up in the widget area and in the specific forum but the forum index page isn’t recognizing it which makes sense bc when you click on the forum even though you see topics the notification at the top states the forum is empty.

Thanks!

You can kind of do the same process that is mentioned here.

Creating Test Data

And you could possibly use a plugin to create forums too like this one

Test Data for bbPress – Plugin

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[Stagger Lee]

Here is a list in my opinion should have under Author names at least one nam of bbPress core developers. Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

– Live preview (live or button for another window/popup)
– Report content (reply)
– Ignore User
– bbPress moderation panel separate from backend
– Notifications
– Make topics/forums read, unread (dont know if it is already in the core)
– bbPress TinyMce plugin
– Reply titles
– View counts
– Topics for posts (very important even if not used on all installations)
– Online / Offline status
– bbPress Polls (not shortcode based)
– Attachments
– Move topics / replies between subforums
– Avatar management
– Like / Vote topics, replies (I personally would never use this one, but..)
– New plugin that makes it easy to add custom fields and add them where you need (this one is not referenced by other forum scripts).

And some more, other people can have other lists. Most important is that at least one bbPress core developer stand on Author list and guarantee plugin will work with latest bbPress version. Not in same minut maybe, nobody is a Superman, but few days after new bbPress version got out.

Hello again.

I just installed a new website and the latest version of WordPress and BBpress and the last code that worked well in that website is no working here. The email notification works well, but still is checked the log field…

Any suggestion please?

I guess that the code of BBpress has changed in recent versions…

Thanks in advance

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m looking into this now @stickfinger, if you have any updates on the testing you did please let me know 🙂

post test:

I looked at:

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

I tried to write an explanation of what I did, but flood detection seems to be deleting my posts.

Edit:

I tried to use:

If you do not permit anonymous posting, then your users will need to register with your site. It is up to you to decide which method is preferable.

Automatic registration is easier and it does allow people to quickly sign up, but by the same token gives you less control over who is contributing to your forums, and can lead to spam postings.

Manual signup involves you in more administration, but does give you complete control over who has write access.

Neither is better overall, but one will be better for you !

To allow automatic registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, tick “anyone can register”. Then in Dashboard > settings > forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.

To set manual registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, and ensure “anyone can register” is not ticked. Then in Dashboard>settings>forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.

In both cases, you will then need a screen for users to register – we’ll come back to where to put this screen later, but for the moment go into dashboard>pages>add new page and create a page. You can call this page anything you like but “register” or “registration” would be logical when users view or access its URL.

If you are doing automatic registration, then put whatever preamble you’d like (“to register for our forums” etc.) , and then add the following shortcode [bbp-register]. Save the page.

and I can register new users by the page at:

http://makers.beyondnp.com/open/?page_id=149

but I don’t know how to fix the widget. Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.

Hi Robkk – on the test site i have deactivated every plugin (so it looks odd) and i still have the same problem – replies empty, am using twentytwelve theme so should not be a theme problem.
http://photohunters.org/photohunters-test/topic/sony-alpha-dslr-a100/#post-348
Tha only thing i have added to fuctions.php is to hide author links and profile and avatar

add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options');

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
	$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(" "), $author_link);
	return $author_link;
 }
 

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
function rew_remove_avatar ($args) {
	$args['type'] = 'name' ;
	return $args ;
}

Any ideas? Melanie
p.s. pop gone on main site, trying to sort out the problem…

[ghoush]

I have searched and put code together and tested. Now whenever a new post is created in WordPress a new topic is created in a specific sub-forum on my bbPress. This is working great. It brings over the tags and everything.

The one problem I have is that the publish_post action fires every time a post is set to published. So if a post gets set back to draft or pending review, and then published again, another forum topic is created. There are problaby 2097324907629306 ways this can be solved. I am only coming up with some pretty stupid ones I think, so I was hoping someone might have a good idea here.

Here is the code for your functions.php:

function post_published_create_topic( $ID, $post ) {
    $author = $post->post_author;
    $name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author );
    $title = $post->post_title;
    $permalink = get_permalink( $ID );
    $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
    $subject = sprintf( '%s: %s', $name, $title );
    $message = sprintf ('[b]%s[/b]' . "\n" . 'By %s' . "\n\n" . '[i]%s[/i]' . "\n\n" . 'View: %s' . "\n\n", $title, $name, $excerpt, $permalink );
    $tags = wp_get_post_tags( $ID, array( 'fields' => 'names' ) );

    $new_post = array(
        'post_title'    => $subject,
        'post_content'  => $message,
        'post_parent' => 691,
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'topic'
    );
    $topic_meta = array(
    'forum_id'       => $new_post['post_parent']
    );
    $topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);
    $term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $topic_id, $tags, 'topic-tag' );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_create_topic', 10, 2 );

Take that code and put it in your themes functions.php (hopefully you are using a child theme.) The 691 is my sub-forums ID, replace that with the right ID for yours. The format of the post and its content is done on the line that starts “$message = sprintf”.

Now I just need to get it to stop creating a new post every time the same post is published. So far my ideas have been something like matching up the topics title with a string comparison, but that seems a bit heavy. There should be a simpler way and I am just not seeing it right now.

[saintjaved]

Yep the latest version of bbpress (“2.5.8”). It also does the same with buddypress but I more need bbpress.

[Robkk]

Did this happen with the latest update of bbPress??
Also do some troubleshooting and try to find a plugin or theme issue.

Troubleshooting

Blank Pages

[PinkishHue]

Sorry for the delayed reply, you could upload your screengrab to http://imgur.com and then give us the link.

Do you have some topics within your forums? Could it be that the template is saying ‘by’ as it’s trying to show the latest topic but there’s no topic there to show?

And what theme are you using? It could be that the ‘by’ has been hard coded in to the templates?

[melanie bund]

yes, use the latest activity widget in my plugin

There seems to be users that have gotten the same error.

Fresh install, php warning on all pages in site

A user listed a fix to surround an attribute with an array() , which I did test and it does seem to hide the error.

Might need some second thoughts from Stephen though.

[Robkk]

Thanks for pointing me to the topic.

I see that bbPress is inheriting a lot of styles from your theme

bbPress is using lists instead of a table layout so that is why you see some of the bubbles there.

I see you removed the list styles from your forum.

But you might need this additional CSS to fix some other layout issues.

#bbpress-forums .art-postcontent ul>li, 
#bbpress-forums .art-post ul>li, 
#bbpress-forums .art-textblock ul>li {
  padding-left: 0px;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

There is some other styles being inherited from the theme, but they are just for styling text and they are quite difficult to fix the same way as above.

Oh and you can delete the account you created for testing. I don’t think I have to login to see the issues you have, unless you have gotten issues around something I would have to see while logged in only.

Hello,

In my forum, we see the latest author TOPIC avatar from the index page;
And i want simply to show the latest author REPLY avatar instead.

There is an example of what I would like to change:

There is a code to change in the file “loop-single-forum”?
Please help me and thank you for reading this post!

[Robkk]

Most of the time this is for blog posts, unless you set up bbPress for your front page??

Hello, I’m currently testing out a forum that I’m creating, and find that labels are not appearing evenly. It is hard to explain, so let me show. The forum is at: http://www.eyeondemand.com/forums/topic/kindle-fire/

Or, as you can see by the image below, the names and roles appear crooked on all but the first post.

What could be causing this?

[ovbg]

Hello, I’m testing out a new forum here: http://www.eyeondemand.com/forums and unfortunately the email subscriptions don’t seem to be working. Emails work with my website (for new registrations, etc), but the forum subscriptions don’t?

Any ideas?

[fitnotesguy]

We just recently started using BBPress a few weeks ago, and I will admit, I am a fitness blogger, not a programmer. A lot of what I have done has been purely due to research. I can usually get over the hump, but now I am not so sure. On my site, I began a few test topics on the forum just to see how things looked with the theme that we were choosing, and so far, so good. That was until I logged in as a subscriber/participant and tried to respond to the topic that I had already started and nothing showed up. I looked everywhere for that reply, but it was nowhere to be found. Then I tried replying again. And again. And again. And still nothing. So then I logged back into my administrator account, and I noticed a notification that told me that I had ONE reply. When I click on the notification to see the reply, nothing showed up. It simply took me to the original topic which (according to the listing) only had ONE VOICE. Which was the topic itself. Forget all of the half dozen times that I tried to reply to that thing. I tried searching for a solution in this forum, and where I found some similar circumstances, nothing else panned out. So here we are. I will provide the link to the forum and topic and question and I will let you decide: Am I missing something? Am I a total idiot? Lol. Seriously. Because I am starting to think I am going insane.

Here is the link. Check it out: http://www.thefitnotes.com/forums/topic/eat-right-eat-light/

Please let me know what I should do. Thanks

[pyromaster]

Hey all,

I’m working on my first website and I have been making pretty good progress….I installed the bbPress forum plugin (latest version) and it integrated pretty easily into my theme (Sento Pro). Can somebody tell me how to turn off the page into bar on the forum? I can easily turn them off on pages by simply going to the page of interest and clicking disable page intro. There are no such options for forums….

Thanks for your help in advance….

Jay

[Solomontee]
