ok, I’ve just finished coding a ‘latest activity’ widget that should do what you want.
I’ve added it to my bbp-style-pack
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which you can load to the site and just use (there’s lots of other stuff in there), or if you’re code savvy, you can fork it form includes/widgets.php into your functions file
Hope you enjoy it !
Thank you @Robkk! This is exactly what I was looking for. Love the styling pack too, that will definitely help get this going the way I want. Installed your loop-forum.php and it looks fantastic.
Only question I have is, how do I modify it to say ‘Latest Post’ rather than ‘Freshness’. Though I’m not sure you can help me with that. Going to do some digging and see if I can find an answer.
Hello regarding you issue, I have downloaded a newer theme ALizee, and it kind of solved all the issues you addressed, the “create group” icon now appears also the latest topics posted appears.
Also by accident I have “un ticked” the below:
– Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu
– Primary Menu
– Social
in the menu setting and it worked well.
If you still can’t view forum, you can create new page call it forums and in the html “txt” write [bbp-forum-index] and it will appear
Hi everyone
Most of our forum counts on the homepage are OK, but the first forum is displaying 8,343 Topics and 8,343 Posts. It should be more like 8,343 Topics and 40,000 Posts. I have tried using the repair function to recount the topics and posts, but it hasn’t helped.
I also tried deactivating all plugins except bbpress and switching to the 2014 theme. But the posts are still being counted incorrectly.
We’re using all the latest versions of WP, BBP etc.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that I can try? Thanks!
Yes and no.
That widget shows every reply, so if topic 1 is really active, it shows the last five persons who wrote in that topic – i just want to know who wrote the latest reply in one topic
Topic 1 – last reply by XXX
Topic 2 – last reply by ZZZ
Topic 3 – last reply by XYZ
So what I want is like a merger between the two widgets. I want to show the latest topics (based on the latest replies) and the author of the latest reply.
sorry, have now just looked at this again
Isn’t this just the ‘latest replies’ widget that you need to use, or how does your request differ?
give me your theme name
I have tried using all of the bolded .php page options as well as copying the single.php into the bbpress plug in php page.
to me this sounds like your not doing it right
follow this guide

and this too

it could also 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.
the bbpress.org editor is what bbpress has by default you can activate the editor in settings>forums.
other than that you can see what is causing these weird issues .

sorry no definition of ‘bbPress ready themes’ it simply means that the author has written ‘bbPress ready themes’ on his blurb.
Usually means that the theme has been tested with bbpress and recognises it in the theme page files.
Many themes work well with bbpress, some are too ‘clever’ and don’t play well.
you should have breadcrumbs and searchbar by default
for searchbar look in
dashboard<settings>forums>forum features and make sure that ‘search’ is ticked.
Your theme can prevent breadcrumbs from showing, as can other plugins

I understood up until
after which point the oldest posts get replaced by the newest?
I expect you can limit a forum to only show the latest 50 topics, come back if that is what you want

Hello!
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I couldn’t find the solution anywhere.
I got a little problem. I’ve got a widget, that shows the five latest topics with replies – but it shows the topic author rather than the author of the latest reply. How do I get it to show the author of the latest comment?
Forgot to add: Using 4.1 and the latest version of everything
The tests I suggested are to find the error, I am not expecting you to stay without them.
If you follow the tests, then if the forums work with just bbpress as the only plugin and your theme, then bbpress is conflicting with another plugin, hence you add back until you find which one, THEN you come back and let us know.
If even the above doesn’t work, then bbpress you change to a default theme such as tewntyten. If that works the issue is with your theme, so we go down that route.
If none works then bbpress has not installed properly.
ok, I can your issue

try the wordpress importer plugin and see if that works i recommend doing it on a local test site though.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/
ok so copy page.php and rename the copied version to bbpress.php and make sure its at the root of your theme with the page.php file and single.php file and see if it works.
you can test it out by removing the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> code and see if the sidebar is removed only on bbpress pages and posts.
Hi,
I’m using bbPress 2.5.4 on WP 4.1 with Time theme, and when I go to my forums root page a very annoying text suddenly stretches my footer mile long.
It goes like this: “At [website title], the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us (See this article to learn more about Privacy Policies.). This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information is received and collected by [website title] and how it is used.
Log Files
Like many other Web sites….”
How do I get rid of this? I went through all the settings, even checked my pages, found nothing whatsoever.
My footer has 3 columns with widgets, and a page widget (using it for a logo image only, no text) is being replaced with this damn text on the forums root page. All other pages display the correct widget. I retested it 3 times, this damn text replaces any “page” widget I add to my footer, and if I add multiple widgets with different pages in them, they all get replaced by the same text multiple times!
I never saw this text until I installed bbPress and went to the forums root page. I couldn’t find it in my database either so it must be in some files?

I’ve been doing some testing with another user with this issue, and have now released version 1.4, which should fix this issue
Regards

After installation no items appears in WordPress Dashboard, no custom post types are created (as far as I can see)…… No menu item in Settings menu. Nothing happens. Why? What do I do wrong. I am trying for about a day now and I can’t figure it out…… pulling my hair out. Please help.
Worpdpress 4.1, bbPress latest, local site, developing mode1
ahh, so you started again, maybe I won’t suggest others delete their set-up to get it working 🙂
I’ll have another play myself in a few weeks, but thanks for all your testing, and patience – many give up just before they would have fixed it !
Posting that code seems to have screwed up the thread…oh boy!
Well in any case I have been doing some testing.
It looks to me like bbPress is expecting to always be in the ROOT of the site.
I can make some adjustments but it then appears to mess something else up.
Take a look at this forum, I will leave it alone for a whole so you can look at it. But it explains the issue.
If I make the forum a child page bbPress will not create the forum with the parent page.
If you adjust the forum root setting to fix this, then bbPress takes over and the breadcrumb so the hierarchy is no longer correct.
At least that’s how it appears to me…
