When I click on the link in your menu “Discussion Forums” here http://www.aceachievers.in/#try
I see This content is for Pro and Revision Series with forum members only.
Though I see your forums here http://www.aceachievers.in/forums/
But I cannot read your topic here: http://www.aceachievers.in/forums/topic/test-1/
I can see the topic and replies here: http://www.aceachievers.in/forums/topic/biochem-doubts/
Most likely this is an issue with a plugin that is restricting the viewing of topics and replies, a look at your source shows you are using “Paid Memberships Pro” and this is most likely the cause of your issues.
Can you update or configure it’s settings for any permission changes that differ between the links I added above?
It could also be generally more of an issue with bbPress and “Paid Memberships Pro” as I have seen a few recent issue pop up with this plugin, I’d check their support forum for any related topics and make sure you are using the latest version of their plugin.
Hi,
I’ve disabled all plugins except for BBPress and Pagelines-BBPress (which is required – otherwise you get an error that tells you it’s required…), and the fault was still reproducible.
Now I’m looking at the theme…. but my forum is now working 100% of the time for me during testing, whether with changes or not – so I’ll have to wait for it to revert to broken behaviour again before I can get any further……

ok, on the specific forum search, it is probably plugin or theme related
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.
but since you say you don’t really want that, you could disable the forum search
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
and to add forum searches to the main search use
function filter_search($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'pages', 'forum', 'topic', reply'));
};
return $query;
};
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'filter_search');
This is untested code, I copied it from another forum, but should work, come back if it does or doesn’t to help future readers of this thread!
Firstly, we won’t be ‘squelching’ any error reporting in the importer, I wish we could have more, or at least improved error reporting. 😉
I haven’t see that user_pass error for a long time, are you using the latest 2.5.4 version of bbPress for the plugin side of things?
Onto the old bbPress standalone side, what version of bbPress standalone are you using?
For the import to work you need to import from bbPress Standalone 1.2 to bbPress plugin 2.5.x.
Details on upgrading and a general flow of what is required is outlined in the following topic, once you’ve read that post you’ll need to read the replies in that thread to follow along the steps.
I havent tested any of the siggestions below. But you can play around with changes as example and change parameters:
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
font-size: 30px;
color: #CC00CC;
}
….ad this as as separate controls in the code above.
Find colors that you want at: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp
You dont need uch change. Just add controls on the text types you want to change woth an } to close the code.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Could be a number of things.
1. check that you are not present on multiple screens in the same browser, sometimes leaving yourself logged in on one screen whilst logged out on others can do funny things.
then it could be a theme or plugin issue

yes wordpress will overwrite your current site.
Most host providers allow you to create subdomains, so if you have
http://www.mysite.com
your can create
test.mysite.com
I’d suggest you create a test site, and install wordpress on there, keeping your existing site as is.
Then you can create wordpress pages, and copy/paste text and upload pictures to the test site to make it look like (or better than!) your current site.
When you are happy, you can then wipe your live site, install worpress (your host provider should help you to do this if you don’t know how).
You can then export and import the pages and posts from your test site to your live site very easily using the built in exporter/importer.

hello Friends,
I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum but it has something to do with the plugins I am using. I created a new user to give someone an authority to post videos on my site. I been testing before I hand that authority over to someone. This particular issue is giving me a real hard time.
Please see the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/maebk11vfjv0m2b/edittopic.png
I am trying to remove that EDIT TOPIC from top left corner but unable to do that. I have Adminimize plugin and then I installed WP Front Role Editor.
I am not too sure where i am going wrong with this, but if someone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hello,
Thank you for the work on the importer!
I’m using the latest of wp and bp – this is a fresh install.
I’m still getting this error 
I’ve updated the file in the /converter file to the 5191 revision.
I know I have the db info correct.
Any ideas would be very appreciated. Thank you!
Argh! Both 😉
Wherever you are testing all of this, the phpBB database must be on the same MySQL database server, not the same actual database, just the same server.
I’m not entirely sure what the ‘wp-united’ does to the phpBB members table but there are a couple of topics here on bbpress.org about it.
Lets skip trying to import phpBB members for a minute and just go with forums, topics and replies for starters. So try your import again without selecting to import “Users”, this should be a good test to make sure that you have a connection to the database and you are indeed using the correct prefix, I expect as you note it most likely should be phpbb3_ as per your phpBB config file.
Whenever a change is made to bbPress — update the plugin, change a setting, etc — the WordPress user roles in wp_options->wp_user_roles are erased
I have a theory as to why this ‘may’ happen with a plugin update, I’ll have to go find what I’m thinking of that may have been included in a recent bbPress release (2.5.3 or 2.5.4) but the roles being erased by changing a bbPress setting I have not seen, nor can I think of any reason why this would be happening.
Could you test this part for me please:
1. Open up WordPress Users admin panel
2. Verify the listed users on the first page have both a WordPress and bbPress role
3. Open bbPress Settings page and change a couple of settings and save
4. Go back to WordPress users, do the same users still have both WordPress and bbPress roles?
The closest I have seen to this is detailed in the following ticket, but this issue is when changing users roles via the bulk actions, #2597.
Thank you @robin-w for the great and speedy reply.
I was just trying to remove the breadcrumb in the content-archive-topics.php template to test if that’s the file I’m suppose to edit. Really I want to rearrange and do a whole lot of different things. Like what it says in the Amending bbpress templates codex entry.
Note* All the forum templates work great! Unlike the topic templates, any change I make to these files appears in the forum index as they should: archive-forums.php>content-archive-forums.php>loop-forums.php>loop-single-forums.php
That’s a great entry in the codex.
7. How can I remove all the breadcrumbs from the templates and set them at the top of the page?
Moving around the breadcrum is more of what I want to do, but I can’t find the template file for the topics to add the <div class=”truebreadcrumbs”> to the bbp_breadcrumb(); to be able to use css to move it around. If that makes sense.
Sorry if I’m being confusing and I thank you very much for your help 🙂
I am going crazy and would love to get help here or hire someone. Am using bbPress but no emails are being sent to users.
We are hosted on MediaTemple’s Gridservice.
We use theme AVADA
We created a forum in Admin and another using the frontend (read somewhere this may matter).
Added all our users via Admin: 73 Participants, 3 Moderators, 2 Keymasters
We tried the BBpress Digest Plugin but it never worked. Developer seems to be MIA.
We tried BBpress Email notifications but that did not work either.
We added the SMTP plugin; the “test emails” using it arrive fine but again, no subscription emails are ever sent.
WordPress admin emails DO work fine (eg ‘pswd changed for user XYZ’).
Activated Plugins:
- bbPress,
- GD bbPress Attachments
- bbPress auto subscribe for new topics and replies,
- Black Studio TinyMCE
- Custom Login
- Simple Members only
- WP-Mail-SMTP
- Fusion Core (Avada theme)
We have a single Forum. At the top of that forum, there is no subscription/favorite link either.
this very well may be the host but i am not 100% sure of that as the other emails work.
i would happily pay someone to figure this out. i have spent hours and hours on this and am ready to look for alternatives. But unfortunately i have topics and 73 users…
thanks to anyone who can give me new things to try. I am losing it here. And as said, i am all open to hiring someone; not sure what the policies are to that effect on this site…
I’m trying to get rid of and change the layout of the: bbp-template-notice info and bbp-breadcrumb, in the topics index. So Home>Forums>Test Topic. I’m having trouble figuring out if there is a bug, or I’m missing something, or I just have the template hierarchy wrong.
How I believe the template hierarchy works: archive-topics.php>content-archive-topics.php>loop-topics.php>loop-single-topics.php
I figure the changes I would need to make would be in archive-topics.php or content-archive-topics.php, but when I delete the <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> as a test it’s still there.
When I make changes to loop-topics.php and loop-single-topics.php, it works fine. It’s just those two page templates.
I’ve tried editing the bbpress.php file from:
<?php /* Start loop */ ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<article <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<header>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</article>
<?php endwhile; // End the loop ?>
and swapping the content for <?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘archive-topic’ ); ?>. That worked but it messed with my forums index.
I’ve taken a look in the codex to try and figure out what I’m doing wrong and feel lost.
tep-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
Sorry if this is a bother, but I’m completely stumped as to what’s going on
yeah just remove the “topics” and “posts” words in the header by the “latest post” word
it should be in loop-forums.php
the rest i guess you can look at the default bbpress stylesheet and use that to help you get it looking right.
If I can I’m going to set up a test site and install the plugins one by one to see which one messed it up. I think it’s either that of a complete site rebuild
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for getting back. Too right that it’s weird! It’s definitely not a browser or CloudFlare or WP Super Cache cache issue – that was what I was investigating when I posted the Apache logs. You can see that successive log entries deliver different numbers of bytes, e.g.:
1.2.3.4 - - [12/Aug/2014:20:02:36 -0400] "GET /forums/topic/updraft-migration-issue/ HTTP/1.1" 200 74091
1.2.3.4 - - [12/Aug/2014:20:03:48 -0400] "GET /forums/topic/updraft-migration-issue/ HTTP/1.1" 200 39159
74091 bytes corresponds to a page load when the forum appeared; 39159 corresponds to that portion being blank (when I hit “reload”, 10 seconds later). It goes back and forth like that with no apparent pattern – you can’t predict what’s next.
Just to make sure I also tested with WP Super Cache deactivated (it had nothing in wp-content/cache for these pages anyway), and CloudFlare in developer (no cacheing) mode, and emptied the CloudFlare cache.
Also, when the forum is produced by a shortcode, it works 100% of the time. No other pages on the site do this, or ever have done. The previous forum plugin (Mingle Forum) is both de-activated and removed, so it’s not that interfering.
So, it seems certain to me that it’s something to do with permalink hierarchy.
Any suggestions how I can debug this? I have 100% access to everything. But, I’m more of a back-end developer – stuff to do with permalinks and custom post types is stuff I’ve only dabbled in, and I’m not sure where to start diving in. It’s easily reproducible (just keep hitting reload enough times, and the behaviour will change).
David
I also have Simple Meta Tags plugin and I just cheked that I have a code which I don’t think is right under my editor section….I been testing all of these but not a good result….
hmm this looks rough , i guess remove the words in li.bbp-forum-reply-count, and li.bbp-forum-topic-count
to leave just to latest post.
and
add some red or white to the category forum title
thanks for your keen reply ! I really appreciate it
I think that you got me wrong ‘:>
(bbpress arranges topics by latest activity) I want to change that to (published date)
thanks
How can I display the published date ?
i dont know at the moment , but i know its possible , because in the backend in topics>all topics you see it shows the created date.
as for example if a post is new and another one is old, and if a comment is posted on the old one, the arrangement will change such that the old will be on the top of the newer one !!
But I think still the arrangement will be based on (last activity date) !?
yeah bbpress arranges topics by latest activity
Ok, now seems that something changed… forum pages are now builded correctly (of course it still need css adjustment).
I’ve disabled BuddyPress for the moment… and anyway I can’t still access profile pages 🙁
http://www.elite-force.it/test/forums/users/goose/
Search too, doesn’t work yet
I’ll take a look at this tomorrow morning (nearing 9:15pm my local time) and I’ll merge my latest changes and upload the files for you, quicker for both of us 😉
