When a user activates the plugin, they get three new items on their wp-admin board. Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Then in the tools section we have tools to solve basic issues with the plugin.
Finally in the Settings tab we have the Forums menu again to allow us to control basic settings of the plugin.
The problem with this layout… It’s TOO much and it’s very scattered. I would think the admin structure would be better if we took all the different items and put them under 1 category. Forum or bbPress whichever sounds better I guess.
From there we would have the main landing page which would either be the latest update information or the settings page.
Across the top we would have replies, forums, topics. (in any order I suppose). Then from there we would have the ability to create new or edit past pages in those categories.
Pros
– Much Cleaner administration board
– Easier to find what you are looking for.
Cons
– More clicking to get to certain sections.
Just an idea I had because WordPress administration boards seem to be getting cluttered these days.
Hello!
I’ve been reading all the topics on the forum and i found many similar issues to my problem, but now solution worked. I disabled all plugins and tried it with default theme also.
When someone subscribes(or creates a topic) to a topic or forum and then someone replys to it, no emails are being sent out to the guy who subscribed. Im using buddypress and bbpress newest version, and buddypress emails-like register, private message etc working, but noone of bbpress related emails are being sent out. I’m using WP SMTP now(before i was using WP MAIL SMTP, but then someone in this forum said if he changed to WP SMTP plugin it started sending, but didnt help for me), and test emails are being sent correctly also.(without any smtp plugin it doesnt work also)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel
Thanks a lot! That helped immediately with the hidden text.
But the other problems persist. I made two screenshots. The first will show the wrapped letters at “Stimmen” and “Beiträge”:
The other shows a minor problem at topic display:
PS: I tested this with both browsers, Firefox and Chrome.
I’ve just had a look at my test site, and I think the code is not working as it should. Topics are fine, bur replies refer to the original topic date/time not the latest reply date/time. So if no reply it is correct, but otherwise wrong !
I’ll take a look at the source code when I get a chance, but maybe some days away. I’m not the plugin author, just a humble user !
ok, I’ve just loaded that code to my test site and it all works fine, the artisan role gives moderator access.
Not sure what has happened, what other changes have there been to your site?
He had the same results when set to an Artisan
Presume you mean he could not access, and by the by what do you mean by that? what happens when they try and access the forums, can they not see menu item, or what do they get when they try??
Hi @robin-w!
Thanks for replying back about this. I’m sorry I failed to mention my troubleshooting. It definitely worked when I set up my husband’s account as a Councilman, and I tested every single rank on his account. He had the same results when set to an Artisan.
At that point, I came here because I can’t see anything wrong with the code.
Thanks again for the reply! 🙂
ok, i got it (loop-replies.php):
<?php $count=1; while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>
<?php
$post_id = get_the_ID();
//save the new count
update_post_meta($post_id, 'bbp_seq_test', $count) ;
?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' );
$count = $count + 1 ;
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
and define a function show_seq()
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$count = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'bbp_seq_test', true );
echo $count;
and then in loop-single-reply.php
` <a href=”<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>” class=”bbp-reply-permalink”>#<?php show_seq(); ?></a>
`
and it works!
please take a look!

you can have multiple roles with the same capabilities, so the original code should be fine.
So I would check
1. that the moderator role which you have renamed Councilman works
2. that if you set up a test user and give them Artisan, that that works (ie is it only her)
PS, i don’t have any knowledge with programming. i hope you can help me as much as you can.
ok, without programming, the best I can offer is the latest activity widget in
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
I can’t seem to get my translation to work since updating to 2.5.6.
Wordpress version: 4.1.1
Site language: da_DK
The forum changed to english after updating BBpress. Before that, it worked fine in Danish language.
I’ve tried uploaded bbpress-da_DK.po and bbpress-da_DK.mo til both /wp-content/languages/bbpress and /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages but it still doesn’t work on frontend and backend.
My wp-config.php is set to da_DK.
I’ve also tried to deactivate some of the latest plugins i’ve installed but it doesn’t do it.
Hope someone can help me solve this.

Thanks. I did look through all the troubleshooting steps…
something is pretty bizzare here.. so I tested connecting to the mysql server from the webserver via cmdline,
mysql -h 208.97.xx.xx -u username -pPassword DBName
all works fine.
I try the exact same information in the importer and nothing happens, no errors are logged, nothing.. so then for fun, I try removing the username and I get the following:
Warning: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory in /home/username/mysite/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1416
Not really the error message I would expect, but none the less.. I put back in the username and get the exact same error. It’s like it’s not passing the variables through. Any other suggestions?
If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
After some more testing this only appears to be an issue when a single account is replying to a topic that they have created and/or are the only individual subscribed to it. I guess this makes sense because you would not want to receive an email notification of your own posts, however it does not make sense that an email is still being generated. It may be a worthy modification to prevent emails being sent to noreply if there is no bcc header set.
I can try this but when do most people do this? I have 5-10 people on my site pretty much anytime of the day. How can I test this without interrupting people that are using the site?
ok, I thin k this is your theme – can you try a default one such as twentyten, just as a test
I tested the forum by deactivated all plugins and nothing seemed to change. The forum index works fine but when you click on one of the forums you get no text on the page and no forum.

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.
Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.
So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:
a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}
to…
a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}
It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.
Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.
Is this OK?
I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.
Thanks for any help.
The error message does go away when switching to the twenty fourteen wordpress theme.
so the issue is definitely in your theme then.
ill try to search your theme and see if i can find anything.
other than that since i said it looked fine on my end when i tested your theme, maybe you should try uninstalling your theme then re-installing it to see if it fixes the issue.
@matthias70
this should be fixed in latest bbPress unless you are using a plugin that is making the subscriptions have issues.

Actually I can’t import anything. I’ve tried a couple of other forum databases I had lying about as a test. It’s like the importer isn’t being invoked or a password is wrong or something. I’ve doublechecked everything, my DB host IP address, username, db name, pass are all correct and verified.
Is there some issue with my DB’s not being on localhost perhaps?
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Hi Stephen,
I’ve made some slight improvements to the attachment importer script – pls check with me when the time comes, and I’ll send you the latest version. I have looked around for how to get write access to the source repository, and still don’t have a clue.
Looking over the SMF->bbPress import template, I noticed that avatars are being imported from the wrong place – they actually live in the attachments table, not the avatar table, with the associated ID of the user.
All the best,
Mike
Is there a way to use this importer for the latest version SMF 2.1 Beta 1? Please help me, because I want to use bbPress. I have over 20,000 registered members and this is a big problem. SMF has become a very bad solution.
sorry, but helpers on here do not have the time to look for differences between two screens.
Can you specify which bit of what screen is wrong.
and while you are at it, can you do the tests in
