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.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

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?

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

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

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

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
