I just changed it back to forums and I tested and it s working still. I appreciate the help.
I started a similar topic on wordpress.org – but I wasn’t sure where the best place would be (here I suppose!)
I’ve done some Googling here, and I’ve found a few topics that apparantly fix this, but…I’m not seeing the same info in my own site (the database info that theyre referring to isnt there..) I’m sure someone will point me to those older posts 😛
So I want to start with a fresh question – I want to start TOTALLY fresh with BBPRess, so I deleted the forums and whatnot and then uninstalled BBPress…later I reinstalled it but on the main dashboard I see this in one of the little info boxes on the right hand side: “Right now in Forums” and then it shows a few forums and topics, etc, that don’t exist…I want to remove those. Is there any way to do that?
I tried looking in the database through PHPMyAdmin and I don’t see anything named “bb_” to delete, so what’s the next step? :/
Thanks SO much in advance.
I’m using the latest version of WP and BBPress, btw and the twenty fourteen theme, if any of that helps.
I downloaded and activated bbp tweaks. Went into the widgets section and dragged items into the side bar and added the requested URLs where needed but the side bar isn’t showing up. I went under bbp tweaks and changed the wrap around to all of the available files by switching and saving and then testing the forum but nothing shows up. The plug in is still currently active.
I am following your advice and reactivating the plugins one by one and testing the forum after each one
I added a test topic and it shows up but the main link for the forum won’t allow me to view it. Thanks again for the help
Ok, you are certainly not stupid, and we’ll work you through to a resolution 🙂
ok we have 4 elements in bbpress
1. A forum that is a type called category – this contains other forums
2. A forum that is a type called forum – this will contains topics and replies
These forum types are set in dashboard>forums and on the top right hand side
3. a topic – this will belong to a forum
4. a reply – this will belong to a topic
Can you confirm that you’ve set up a topic in any of the forums.
If not go into Dashboard>topics>new topic and create a test topic.
If your forums are all just forums, then without topics, they have nothing to list.
If you think you have created a topic go into dashboard>topics and see if you can see topics in there, and which forums they belong to
Ok, thanks and yes we can fix that.
1. the code is missing ‘);’ by mistake, it should read
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
// Home - default = true
$args['include_home'] = false;
// Forum root - default = true
$args['include_root'] = false;
// Current - default = true
$args['include_current'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options');
The extra ‘);’ is right at the end
I’ve fixed the documentation
2. as stated in https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
you should not be adding code to the end of a main theme’s functions, but should be creating child theme. By all means leave it there and test that it works, but then create a child theme and move it there or you risk losing the change on an update. I’ll try and make this even clearer in the documentation – it is a first version !
Hope that helps you, and please come back with any further issues ! 🙂
Hello all – I know that the issue of user capabilities has been covered before but I’m stuck
First off:
http://www.manvfat.com/talk
WordPress 3.9.1 running BuddyBoss 3.2.0 theme.
BBPress 2.5.4
GD BBpress Toolbox 3.1.3
I have used GD BBpress Toolbox to allow the “Add Media” button to show up for all logged in users. Fine.
However, the Participant role cannot actually upload an image – it tries to upload gets nearly to the end and then throws an error message:
“An error occured in the upload. Please try again later.”
After experimentation (I changed one test user to Moderator from Participant – and this allowed the image to be uploaded) it appears to be down to the fact that Participants do not have the capability to upload media.
Using this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/capsman/ I am able to assign that capability to Participants but it still fails. My *guess* is that this is because the capability is not actually being saved, but I don’t know why or how to change it.
Does anyone know how I can allow the Participant role to upload files – and thus be able to add images inline?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Try testing with the Twenty Fourteen theme, to confirm if it is a theme issue or not.
Try running all the following tools (one by one of course):
Recalculate the parent topic for each post
Recalculate the parent forum for each post
Recalculate private and hidden forums
Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic
Recalculate the position of each reply
Count topics in each forum
Count replies in each forum
Count replies in each topic
Count voices in each topic
Count spammed & trashed replies in each topic
Count topics for each user
Count replies for each user
That said the topic ID you link to is 9313 and it’s forum ID is 9299 so typically by post ID order the topic is newer than the forum.
What happens if you move the topic to the correct forum?
Maybe try create a few test topics and replies in a test forum to see if you can determine exactly what is going on as from what I can see looking at the HTML source everything looks fine though you say it is not 😉
Hey Robin,
I just did test the new version, and as far as I can tell, everything is working fine now. I did subscribe to various forums in different categories, and only those, which I did subscribe to, are visible in the buddypress profile. I also did set up a few private groups and made some forums private, which is also working like intended!
Let me thank you for the work you did put into it. Your plugin is awesome, and I think many people will use it! A feature like this is needed by many projects.
Again – Thanks to everyone who helped me, and a special thanks to Robin!

Ok I have fixed this issue – can you download version 1.9 from
bbp Private Groups
and test it to ensure it also works for you.
if so, I’ll load it to wordpress plugins for general release
WP 3.9.1
bbPress 2.5.4-5380
Suffusion Theme 4.4.7
Child Theme

Hello, I used the Recent Replies one until it broke my site—a long story, details if requested.
Then I discovered that the Recent Topics plug-in can be used three ways with config options in the drop-down widget menu:
Hottest Topics=Topics with Recent Replies
Latest Topics=Newest Topics
Popular Topics=Popular Topics (most visited? most discussed?)
My only concern is that “Hottest Topics” lists brand-new topics with NO replies. Is there a way I can fix this?
By the way, I have lots of private [unpublished] topics in progress, and they do not list in the sidebar.
Many thanks for your help, Anna
It’s all good… My testing of Firefox 29, Apache 2.x, and bbPress 2.5.4 here with Twenty Fourteen and things work perfectly.
Also what I meant by TinyMCE plugin is there are quite a few plugins that enhance/modify/tweak the TinyMCE, ‘TinyMCE Advanced’ and ‘Ultimate TinyMCE’ to name just two.
Anyways when/if you have another look at troubleshooting this just ask away any Q’s 🙂
Hi Stephen,
Are you talking about the bbPress toolbar when creating a topic or reply?
Yes.
What happens if you switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme?
The Twenty Fourteen theme has the same issue.
Have you disabled any TinyMCE plugins?
I didn’t install a plug-in called TinyMCE. I thought it was included by default.
Have you tried disabling all your plugins except bbPress to see if the issue is resolved?
No. As I said, the site works find when using Chrome, or IE on the Linux/Apache box (with all plug-ins enabled). When I use the site hosted by Windows Server/IIS 8.5, Chrome, IE, and Firefox work.
So it looks like a bug that only shows up when Firefox + Apache + bbpress are all working together. Any other combination seems to work fine.
What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
Latest version of both.
Note: Please don’t bump old topics, create a new topic please, things change and most of the time the issue will be a different issue.
Very sorry. I’ll do that next time.
Note: I’ve decided that I’m just going to leave it as is. If Firefox users want to post, they can forfeit the editing tools, or use another browser.
Sorry to have wasted your time. Maybe I’ll try to troubleshoot it again when I have more time.
Thanks for your reply.
ok, I’ve just installed bbpress, buddypress and private groups on a new test site, added a couple of forums, and set one to subscribe.
Without private groups it is fine, with private groups both forums show as subscribed, so I can replicate your problem 🙂
I’ll take a look tomorrow as to whether I can work a fix for it.
Hi,
I am using iThemes Exchange and bbPress Membership Add-on and want to include access to a specific forum in one of the memberships.
The issues is that the list of forums is not showing on a page where it should list all the forums available for that membership. I have logged this issue with iThemes, but replied with the following:

I was installing bbPress on my site to test this issue and I got the following:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3245
Can you start a ticket with them as well. There’s a good chance this could be part of the issue.

Thanks for any help.
P.
The problem is that my search form is only returning a list of recent posts. It’s not including ANY forum information, and it’s not including any valid search results. Prior to installing BBPress, my search results were displayed on a formatted page that said “Search Results.” Now when you search, it’s saying “Latest Posts.” Somewhere with the installation, something is rerouting the code to pull from somewhere else.
In my searchform.php the code is:
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="form-search <?php if (is_404() || !have_posts()) { ?> well <?php } ?>" action="<?php echo home_url('/'); ?>">
<label class="visuallyhidden" for="s"><?php _e('Search for:', 'roots'); ?></label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" class="search-query" placeholder="<?php _e('Search', 'roots'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="<?php _e('Search', 'roots'); ?>" class="btn">
</form>
Hi Stephen,
thank you for this detailed explanation of the background to this new behavior of bbpress.
I’m with my forum not online yet and still experimenting on my test area. That is why I made a lot of things in the backend, because I would like to get to know everything about bbpress before I go online definitely. And so I have noticed it that the reply-titles are missing. Now I will try out your advice in the future everything if possible only to manage in the front-end.
Thank you for your explanations to this new behavior.

We have a test site setup, but we pay a company a lot of money per hour to run diagnostics on larger problems. I’m trying to get to the bottom of this problem using your support before I turn it over to them.
“you say ‘our site continues to use the search functions that we setup. ‘ have you some special search function, or how is your search working?”
– Nothing special, just that our search function calls our own loop-search.php file and search.php file and the loop-search.php file in the plugin seems to be overriding the loop-search.php file in our theme file.
ok, sounds like you need a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
so that you can test things like installing bbpress prior to going live !
Anyway, back to your immediate issue, it will be very theme dependant, and sounds like your theme is doing something with search after you’ve disabled it
you say ‘our site continues to use the search functions that we setup. ‘ have you some special search function, or how is your search working?
That is very kind of you @robin-w. I was a little… demoralized today, as I did put a lot of work into my bbpress-forum, which is based on INK interface kit, and it would be very disappointing if all the effort would’ve been for naught, even if it’s just the subscription.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything, even if it’s just testing!
Thanks again for all the work!
Presume this doesn’t happen when you switch to a default theme?
Actually, the strange thing is, that it also does happen with a standard theme, like twenty fourteen. I didn’t test it before, as I thought it would be a problem with my custom theme, but now I see, that it happens also with other themes.
Also test whether it is actually subscribing to all forums, or just saying that it is.
Well, if I visit the subscription list with subscribed forums and topics, I do see the whole forum list, with categories and forums, no matter which forum I did subscribe to. It’s the same with the source code, I do see all the forums.
I should add, that it is working wth topics. If I subscribe to a topic, only that topic appears in the subscribed topics list.
