Each ‘BuddyPress Group’ can only have one (1) forum attached to the BuddyPress Group.
So when looking at eg http://localhost/mynewdomain/groups/test-group/forum/ there will only ever be 1 forum maximum displayed there, the one forum attached to that one group.
If you want to see the full forums list you need to add a link on your primary menu to http://localhost/mynewdomain/forums/
Thanks 🙂
Yes, I see this on your site, I just can’t reproduce it.
There are a couple of improvements that can be done for the ‘Reply Widget’ code so I will go and implement that and do some more testing.
Longshot here, removing and adding the widget from your site. 😉 Delete the widget from your footer sidebar and any other instances of the widget in the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section. Now add the widget back again? How did that go?
I see. This at least provides me with a solution: we need to make many of these forums sub-forums. I did a test; if I set one of these forums to be the sub-forum of another on this list, a forum not previously appearing on this page appears at the bottom.
This is resolved now, since this is built into bbPress. I am curious though why this limitation was built it. It seems like something the admin should decide, not bbPress, but perhaps it was to keep database load down, or to just protect the bbPress brand (to keep bbPress powered-sites from looking ugly)? Anyways, much appreciated.
I installed bbpress with buddy both are latest version on my WP new installation, I register as a new member having a participant role on bbpress but I noticed that when I clicked on “FORUM” tap on my buddy profile there no link to create a new topic, I want to enable topic creation for my members. Maybe am not doing something right pleas help.
Thanks for this and yes, confirmed 🙁
I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472
I also added the full Mingle.php with the patch included, could you download this and test it.
It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.
Yes totally.
You can create a full width page forum if you wish – if your theme has a full width page option then just create a full width page, put the index shortcode within it [bbp-forum-index].
But it may be better to have a separate sidebar, so that you can have login and latest posts – see http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums for an example.
Once you have installed bbpress, then install a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks. it gives you a forum specific sidebar, so you can add login and latest posts widgets
You can also use a plugin called “widget logic” with your normal sidebar to control what widgets are seen on what pages. For instance a widget will not appear if you use the logic !is_bbpress()m or will appear if you use is_bbpress()
Hello, I have installed bbpress and added a forum and topic.
WordPress and BBPress are both the latest version.
The forum shows in a really odd way with items stacked on top of each other.
http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/new-forum/
Secondly, the breadcrumb link to the forum results in a 404 http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/
Yet the parent link in the breadcrumb works http://imagphoto.com/forums/
Is it possible to use pages and the shortcodes to have the forum within a page so that I can control the settings of the page and maybe dump the sidebar to see if that corrects the issue? I checked the documentation but could not see anything about this specific issue.
Many thanks for your help 🙂
Hello,
I have Genesis Prose, and I guess I will have the latest version of the bbpress forum plugin. Here is my site, http://www.unclaimed-funds.org .
I would like to add a forum to the site, but I would like to get rid of the sidebar on the forum page.
Is this possible?
Thank you,
Mark
I’m not very experienced with bbPress. I am trying to make sure my forum works properly by creating a “test” user and trying to post from that account. When I submit the test post, it does not show up at all on the forum. Can anyone please help me with this?
Robin,
1) Files deleted.
2) Searching for BBpress…

Hello, is there any way for my forum members to click the topic and view it’s answer in a drop-down style below the topic/question itself(accordion style) ? I do not want the answer to show up on a different page. Either the answer slides down the question itself or shown in lightbox style upon click. Is this possible ?
I am asking this because my forum is not a discussion forum but Q an A forum where there is only 1 answer to the question asked by members.
Using latest wordpress and bbpress build
Kindly help.
I am having a problem with the latest version. My Forum content is not showing.
I am hoping for your kind response. Thanks.
Kunena3.php. Tried long time ago with Kunena2 too, but didnt work.
Updated Kunena forum to the last, just to test. WP is updated to the last.
Joomla is made locally with Akeeba but dont think it has something to do with problem.
If i only knew what makes problem. One or few Kunena topics deleted. Not big deal in forums, if you have hundreds and thousands of them. But as it is now all is black hole for me.
Thanks heaps for this, I can see what you mean and I will go do some more testing and work on a patch for it.
Hey guys!
I have a little test site running for fun here.
As you can see, when you click on the forums page, bbPress is extremely light and does not fit in with the theme I am using.
Can I get any instructions on how to make bbPress sue the same style as my WordPress theme?
I am not extremely familiar with coding, so simple instructions would be the best!
Thanks!
it looks like it fixed it, but i’ve added a few more replies and the counters have stayed the same
yes i’m using bbpress, buddy press, i have also installed buddypress achievements all latest versions
@ Stephen, thanks.
My apologies i didnt answer earlier. Had many projects and not much time. Customizing bbPress is something i try to learn for future projects, and one project it is not hurry for.
I will test converting today and write results.
I think it displays ok in the profile, is this the spot to check, the forums tab? pasted below

Just to give some more info about this from what I’ve experienced too:
I’m using WP 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.4.1. I’m using the Fresh News theme from WooThemes. I tested this with another account and a friend. Topics are not an issue for me; it’s only replies that are causing an issue. I have also tried disabling my other plugins to no avail.
1. If I reply using either account, I cannot see the reply on the account that I made the reply with, but I can see it with my other account immediately. My friend can also see my reply immediately from her account and when she’s logged out. The same happens when my friend makes a reply. She cannot see her own reply, but I can see it immediately on both of my accounts and when I’m logged out. Refreshing the page (multiple times) does not cause the reply to appear for the user that made the reply.
2. If a reply is made by a logged-in user and the user immediately logs out, suddenly, their reply becomes visible. If a logged-out user makes a reply then immediately logs in, suddenly their reply becomes visible.
Something interesting to note is that I run the same site on two different domains with the same host but different servers. Everything is exactly the same on both sites… I just use one to test things before I install/transfer it to the “real” site. On my test site, I do not have this issue at all. Same exact theme, plugins, settings, etc. Everything is exactly the same, yet I am only having this weird reply lag on my “real” site.
I have just commited the three versions of Kunena bbPress importer for bbPress 2.5
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/converters
Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x Forums
Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x Forums
Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x Forums
If you could all give them some tests and let me know if it works or doesn’t work that would be great.
Everything is still going fine, I ran some phpBB imports yesterday whilst implementing a few minor updates.
Details are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2467
Feel free to download the latest from here:

I removed the original default avatar from the heading but please see the links below. The site is still in test and I am doing some styling but you should be able to see from the following.
