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?

[Robin W]

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?

[Lars Henriksen]

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

[Chad R. Schulz]

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

[Robkk]

alright i will test it out in a minute.

[gptxffa]

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.

[Robkk]

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.

[Robkk]

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.

[Robkk]

@gptxffa

will test out IE compatibility , really dont know what is the issue though with IE.

glad you are fixed as long as you dont use it

[Robkk]

ok i got the information from my contact form , and i will log into your site in a minute.

I dont know whats the issue with you not sending to my normal email though??

i just tested in this topic

http://gptxffa.com/wordpress/?topic=test-test-test-test&lang=en_US/

it did not pull the reply form under the reply i was replying to , it did lead to the bottom but the reply threading did work.

you said that it wasnt working well in a sticky topic?? it should work.

was this the sticky topic you were talking about??

http://gptxffa.com/wordpress/?topic=site-commentssuggestions&lang=en_US

that had the issues??

[Robkk]

i think the 2.4 version was suppose to be bbPress.

so it should be patched up.

see if its something else causing the issue.

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

[Robkk]

@gptxffa

Showing the comment your are replying to next to the reply to: text bbPress does not do that. That sounds like some custom development go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job.

as for reply threading , i guess not threading??

see if its 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.

[JohnWilbanks]

The two posts were basically test posts that I made. No deletion of user and new one with same name. I don’t use any caching plugins. Bluehost (which is who I use) might…

[andrew55]

stagger-lee – thank you very much for the warning/advice. Actually, that makes perfect sense. I went back to the previous topic view (with no large icons). For other sites it might make more sense, so hopefully the topic created here might help someone.

I am going to stick with using forum icons in our main forum view. It adds a great look.

I got some great help from Robkk creating these earlier, but I’m having the same issue. The long forum descriptions are wrapping under the forum icon, as can be seen in the example below with the lock icon.

Any suggestion on how to style the forum description so it doesn’t wrap, but stays to the right of the forum icon?

Here’s a link to our test site:

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello all,

I’ve a problem with users trying to login on bbpress when using chrome.
They enter their username and password and then the pages refreshes and they are not logged in.
If I try this with a test account on IE it does work normally
I’m at a loss here.

WP version is 4.1.1 and BBpress is 2.5.6
The same thing happens if I use a different theme (Bundled one)
Here’s a link to the site : http://www.animosityonlinegaming.com/

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

[Stagger Lee]

Sorry, my mistake.
Just tested and noticed it is only for topic form, not reply form.

[Stagger Lee]

functions.php:

/**
* webdeveloperswall.com/buddypress/check-if-a-user-is-online
**/
function is_user_online($user_id, $time=5){
	global $wp, $wpdb;
	
	$user_login = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT u.user_login FROM $wpdb->users u JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID
WHERE u.ID = $user_id
AND um.meta_key = 'last_activity'
AND DATE_ADD( um.meta_value, INTERVAL $time MINUTE ) >= UTC_TIMESTAMP()
" ,APP_POST_TYPE
));
	if(isset($user_login) && $user_login !=""){
		return true;
	}
	else {return false;}
}

Probably the same process for bbPress alone. Cannot ruin now all to test it.
Font Awesome needs to be activated for frontend. Or more easy, activate Dashicons for frontend and use some other SVG icon.

Some CSS:

.bp-user #buddypress .online .fa-wifi {
	color:green; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .offline .fa-wifi {
	color:#cf4d35; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .online, 
.bp-user #buddypress .offline {display:inline-block; text-align:right;float:right;}
.members #buddypress .online-list .fa-wifi {color:green; font-size:15px;}
.members #buddypress .offline-list .fa-wifi {color:#cf4d35; font-size:15px;}

#buddypress .online-list,
#buddypress .offline-list,
#buddypress .offline,
#buddypress .online {font-size:12px;}

I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution

Having a test environment is something that every site should have !!

[admiralmuttonchops]

Should anyone ever come across this with the same problem I was having, it was the Google Adsense for Responsive Design – GARD by The Plugin Factory, The Digital Hippies plugin that was causing the conflict with bbpress. Once I deactivated the plugin, all of the menu options and functionality were there.

Thanks Robin for the help. I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution.

[Robin W]

ok, suggest you create a test site and try to fix there

I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 on twentyfifteen them, and bbpress 2.5.6

I’ve created a test forum called ‘A completely spurious forum’ which is set to ‘private’. But when I go there as a logged in user, the heading of the forum is ‘Private: Private: A completely spurious forum’. Where did the two ‘privates’ come from and how do I get rid of them?

You may also want to try the latest development version to see if any bugs have already been fixed that might impact this.

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.
