I am having the same problem with bbPress when AWPCP is installed alongside it … There is a conflict somewhere with bbPress 2.5.3 and AWPCP 3.0.1 running on WP3.8 … These are all the latest versions, so PLEASE help me to find the fix. AWPCP and bbPress are both core components of my site and I need them to play nicely (like they used to)

Thanks – Joe

Use WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.5.3, just installed, theme twenty ten. I followed your instructions on your website. After installation I made a page named Forums, after that I made a forum and a topic, both as test. The test is no more visible in the website as I removed the test. The test forum I had placed as subpage at the forums page. As far as good. When I opened the forum in the website I saw in the top of the forum page I see the name of the forum and direct thereunder the navigation line: home>forums>name of forum>subscribe, the following line ‘This forum is empty'(light blue background), the following line Viewing topic 1 (of total 1). Under this topic, the line: Viewing topic 1 (of total 1), thereunder the line: Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content, thereunder a field to bring in another topic such as I’m writing in now.

I’m not a professional so I don’t know how to recover this problem. regards, Robert

I have now also done live tests with all the themes that where in the list and that didn’t seem to repair the issue either. I read somewhere that someone else was having a similar problem but they could see the information in there source code of the page. When I checked that there was nothing, so I don’t think its a css problem but I could be wrong. Willing to attempt what ever, before our other guy just replaces it with something else.

Hello,

after update WP + bbPress plugin to the latest version I got empty response error on All Replies page in administration (http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply). PHP error log shows nothing.

I have no idea what’s wrong.

Thank you for help.

Hi..im trying to create a forum with bbpress…i also have buddypress installed…..however, I notice when testing the forum, that all the “replies” to any forum post for some reason seems to change the avatar to a slightly smaller size, and also the Role Names seems slightly misaligned too.

The odd thing is, the First Post looks fine..it seems that this is only occurring to the “replies” that follow after the first post.

Hopefully someone can understand what I mean & make sense of this….I would appreciate any response that would help.

Thanks!

Hi Lynq,

I can’t get your theme to look right on my site. None the less the main thing I want is how to make it so it shows the title for the last post in your “Last Poster” section.

What’s the new font you’re working on?

Check out my test forums and email me if you can ken@sparxpg.com ; http://kendotest.koolkiwi.com/forums/

thanks!

A little background, I have about 0 knowledge of WordPress and especially BBPress. The reason I am here is I am trying to help get some basic forms working that were setup an possibly messed up by a previous admin who is currently MIA. I have figured out my way around WordPress but am at a loss as to why the posts do not display within the topics. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a link to one of the forum topics that had a few post/replies but are not visible.

I recently migrated a large forum from another platform. The forum is quite large (1M+). The issues I am having is that opening individual forums is slow and opening threads is pretty much the same. 20 seconds – 30 seconds sometimes. I am running the latest bbpress and the site runs on a dedicated server and had no issue with the previous forum platform.

It is truly frustrating. I would truly appreciate if someone can point in the right direction of what to look for?

the admin icons for forums, topics and replies are missing. May you please check it? I’m using the latest wordpress.

Try clearing your browser cache/history or hard refresh

It looks like you have a page at http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forums/

When viewing a topic or forum eg:
http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forum/forums/chat-beauty/
http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forum/topic/this-is-a-test/

The breadcrumb link is pointing to /forum

It looks like you have your ‘Forums Prefix’ and ‘Single Forum Slugs’ around the wrong way.

Use forums as your forum prefix (the same as your forums page)

Use forum as the single forum slug.

@netweb I’m getting this also. I’m using a page with shortcode at http://www.hosting-4-oscommerce.com/forums/ and google rich snippet test results at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hosting-4-oscommerce.com%2Fforums%2F

[Stephen Edgar]

Sweet 🙂 Will have a play later 🙂

In a similar vein there is also this from @MZAWeb https://github.com/MZAWeb/bbpFauxData

I have a set of sample data that I use for all the different forum importing tests I have done and should really package it up as a WXR file, similar to the WordPress Theme Tests Data as it includes virtually every type of bbPress forum, topic, topic tag, reply and reply to options available.

[trainspotta]

Ok I did a little bit of testing.

Categories and forums were private and only mods could see them.
Now my forums are public but the categories are private. Now logged in members can use them but for visitors they are hidden. is this the correct way of using private?

[kendorama]

Hi,

I just installed bbPress and people that sign up are given Partipant Role. They can read forums but cannot reply threads or post topics. If I set them to moderator they are able to do so.

Please help

Hi All, I am a bit confused and I need some advice. I have a bbpress forum and I want to place vimeo video in the topics and replies. Is there a plugin (or plugins) that allow me to use shortcodes. Viper’s does not seem to work.

I can directly add the vimeo url to the topic and it seems to work. Is that the best way to do it? Shouldn’t I be using shortcodes instead.

I am running the lastest WP 3.8 and the latest bbpress.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey all!

I have recently been developing with bbPress and created myself a plugin for inserting test data into a local WordPress install. Be careful when using this plugin as it does a lot of writing to the database and runs the bbPress repair tools too.

• Adds a forum with nested forums
• Adds a forum with loads of topics
• Adds a topic with loads of replies

I hope it helps someone, good luck!

[tjt756]

I have the latest version of wordpress installed on my site. I followed the instructions to install bbPress, then clicking to activate it. But after I do, it just tells me that the plugin has been activated successfully on the top of the page, then shows the normal lists of all plugins on my site. There’s no “Welcome Page”

Additionally, there is no “Forums” option on the left sidebar. Basically, it looks like nothing happened. I uninstalled and tried again, twice. Still no difference.

Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks!

[piccart]

ok, I’ve figured it out.

the files which have to be edited are:
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php

in the first one you’ll have to cut off this line in each place it comes:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

and substitute with something like this, to make the new-topic link:
<a href="http://mywebsite.com/form-new-topic/?forum_id=<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>

then you create a new template page (which you’ll assign to a page called “Form New Topic”) copying your theme default page, and adding at the top /* Template Name: Form New Topic */ . then you can substitute the function which displays the content, or just add this below it:

$forum_id = $_GET['forum_id'];
echo do_shortcode("[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]");

at the same you can edit the second file (the topics list) substituting this:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>

with something like this:
<a href="http://mywebsite.com/form-new-reply/?topic_id=<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>

and then create a new template called “Form New Reply”, and add a code similar to the other one but using the shortcode to display the reply form. unfortunately the shortcode for the reply form seems to don’t have a topic id attribute, according to this list: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

I’ll make some test to see how it react, the only other solution I see is to make a spoiler with the reply form, so it’s hidden till you click.

p.s. you can also store the ids into variables, using these functions:

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();

Using Magazine Basic Premium and latest WP.

Why am I showing only MY activity in the activity area. Also, how do I make the subscribers become members so that we can communicate in the forum? I’ve been through all the settings … don’t see anything.

[ibab]

I have WordPress 3.8 installed with the bbPress 2.5.2. The WP is in Finnish so it’s important that the forums are in Finnish as well, so I attempted to add the translation file as told here.
http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

I took the latest dev branch Finnish translation, downloaded the .po and .mo files, renamed them to bbpress-pt_FI, even attempted bbpress-fi_FI, uploaded to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ but no results. The forums are still in English.

I also checked that the language is set to fi in the wp-config.

Why is the translation not working?

[NarOneR]

I just tried with a default theme but it does not work either.

My plugin enable are :
bbPress
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab
Light – Responsive LightBox
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati
Regenerate Thumbnails
Relevanssi
Responsive Lightbox
Sidebar Login
Theme My Login
TinyMCE Advanced
User Role Editor
WP-PageNavi
WP Minify
WP Wall

You can test on http://www.lsa-clan.fr/wordpress/forums (register is open)

[NarOneR]

I have the latest version of TinyMCE bbPress Enable Visual Tab and I have the same problem with or without the advanced TinyMCE plugin.

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have the latest version 1.0.1 of ‘bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab’ installed?
(It was updated a couple of days ago)

Also I am not sure of the bbPress compatibility of the ‘tinyMCE advanced module’, does everything work as it should with this plugin disabled?

[Lynqoid]

Hey guys,

The theme is what teamoverpowered.com forums is based on and it is still working (I always update bbPress).

So in theory the theme should work, take a backup and test it! 🙂

I am (slowly) working on another theme which should be quite nice, it’s just taking longer than expected.
