I am looking for a shortcode or code (so I can make my own shortcode) to add the latest x topics from a specific forum. Like the recent topic widgets does. But in this case I can’t use the widget – so I am looking for a code to get the output of that widget somewhere in the text. I hope that is possible. I looked at the shortcodes on the website, but none of them is useful in my case.
It needs to say show x recent topics of forum with ID=… and then only give the titles with link
I have a few regular users who have been able to log in and post without issue – I have just logged in as her and while I was able to submit the test post it didn’t appear on the site and it also didn’t appear in the spam for Akismet or in the pending comments on the replies thread. It’s most peculiar, especially as it’s only happening with this one user.
ok I think you need to strip this down and rebuild
I’d suggest that you create a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
then on the test site
disable all plugins except bbpress AND switch to a default theme such as twentyten
Then if this doesn’t fix, go into
tools forums and reset forums to delete all the data
Then uninstall and reinstall bbpress.
Then prove that this set-up ie a default theme with no other plugins, just bbpress, works by creating topics, and checking the backend shows forum etc.
You should then have a working site
next add you theme back and check again
Then you can add plugins one at a time to find out what is wrong,testing each time that it still works.
If it all re-builds ok, then you can do the same reset and re-install to fix the live site
Lots of work, but until you get to a stripped down working site, you’ll probably not make progress.
Well, keep in mind that I’m learning as I go here. I have three wp sites – one is public and two are development sites in separate directories in the public folder. I’m testing the import on one of the development sites.
I see three different WP databases and in wp_hzue_posts I see posts from the imported forum in my development site.
On my front end forum page I set up a test forum prior to the import and there I see nothing. I’m guessing I have to change something else.
On my live WP site I have three forums that I don’t want to change but I’d like to add a fourth with the imported posts. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if I had to start over with the forum on the live site – it’s new and there’s not much there yet.
hmmm
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
I did open Filezilla and I searched for “cache” — I found a cache.php file, but I didn’t even attempt to go mucking about in there!
yep , dont edit files or delete any files you might cause another issue with your site.
I’m a little glad to hear that you’ve possibly had a similar problem; maybe I can ask some other people on the site to try out different browsers and see if I need to go clean out my CPU cache.
something like it , im sure its common too , like i said i dont remember 100%
If you have a chance to add more classes to the CSS code, I would be extremely grateful. I really appreciate the time and effort you’ve spent on my issues.
i tested with your theme and this seemed to work.
.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a {
color: #000;
}
.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a:hover,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a:hover {
color: #707070;
}
Now it just give my the seperator code but you can see it on a random pages wit 404 but see as in this random created page it is showing correct name in the browser top – http://www.playstationforum.dk/just-just-test/
but now i actually manage to get the archive remove but doesent show “Debat” as it should be but i think its som tag / slugs i have mess up in the backbone of the theme, i fix it nothing to do with this topic i think but i was just wondering it only was the forum there do it.
These two Custom CSS rules should help.
put them anywhere you can put custom CSS
child themes style.css file
jetpacks custom CSS module
a standalone custom css plugin.
.bbpress .post-section {
margin: 0 2% 20px 2%;
width: 96%;
}
.bbpress #content-main {
width: 100%;
margin-right: 0;
}
if this does not work try this CSS for a test
if the links in your forum turn red the CSS is working.
.bbpress a {
color: red;
}
if the links are red and my above CSS rules for full width arent working i probably have to redo the CSS rules i gave you above to include more div classes which will be super annoying.
@davidnsfw – as with @svend-rugaard I can’t see where that is – can you post a url to a page with an example and tell me whjere this is displayed – I can’t see the word ‘archive’
@svend-rugaard come back when you have tested
ok,

that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.

Thanks. Will test those things.
@pazzaglia1
is it just the search or is it bbPress entirely??
As long as you have the latest bbPress too it should work fine.
usually users that have problems with bbPress when upgrading to WP 4 , we usually recommend these two plugins to help solve their issue.
bbpress wp4 fix
bbpress wp4 fix2
you can also go through the normal troubleshooting to identify an issue.

I’d suggest you upgrade to latest wordpress, not to fix this issue, but because you leave your site more open to attack by using old software.
Onto your problem…if profiles are viewable by non logged in users – can you post a link to the forum so that we can see the issue
Hi, I’m a brand new bbPress user, just downloaded it, installed, and began following the documentation here on the site.
Everything seemed to be going well. If I click on the menu I created for the forum, the test forum page comes right up. However, over where the topics should be listed, it says ‘no topics’. But I did create a topic, again, following the instructions.
Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong?
TIA,
Martin
Just installed bbPress for the first time and set up a few test forums. On the forums list page the page title (which is named Forums) links to the last created forum. How can I make it so the page title is not a link?
Just trying to have recent forum activity listed in that sidebar.
try the ‘latest activity widget’ in my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
one other thing – how can we fix the forum header
This is a theme issue – who’s theme are you using?
Chad, you are a rock star.
I unticked ‘threaded forums’ in settings->Forum and now it does what I intended: gives credit to replies individually.
Thanks again and good luck with your test site.
Lars
Odd. That doesn’t happen on my test site.
On my site it allows you vote for topic/replies individually. And you can vote for replies without voting for topics.
I tested it out and now know what’s happening. I’m not using threaded (nested) replies. If you use threaded replies it assumes all that follows is an extension of the first reply/topic and adds the meta to it, not the actual reply.
Unless you absolutely want threaded replies? I don’t because I think it ends up kinda messy–if someone wants to splinter the discussion from the main topic they need to start their own topic instead.
Maybe someone else knows of a potential fix on threaded discussions?
Good luck,
Chad
alright i will test it out in a minute.
i think i figured it out.
Look at “testing topic for mergin feature” thread.
it seems to be a problem that happens if you merge two topics.
#208, 210, and 211 were all merged into the thread having problems, so i create two more threads and merged them to test, and the same problem happened.
All of the merged comments will not work with the reply feature, only the topics that are from the original thread will.
hmm i tested this in twentyfourteen and it seemed to work just fine.
what theme are you currently using??
if its a free theme i could probably test it out real quick to see if it works.
ahhh there is the issue.
i replied to #208 and it didnt thread.
maybe because the reply was made before you switched to threaded replies , and thus not working??
will test this out on my test site.
