I would like to add a title banner to all my forum pages so that it is consistent with the rest of the website.
This page is an example of what I would like it to look like – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forum-home/ – this is created with Divi though with shortcodes which doesn’t work so this is just for visual representation.
So, I think I am after a way to inject this title banner into the forum pages, perhaps using the functions.php file, I am not entirely sure but would really appreciate some guidance on how to crack this.
This is my current forum layout – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/
Thanks so much,
Ollie
PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.
Hi there,
I hope someone can help. I have an issue with these two bbPress pages.
See here example: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/users/ollie-tubb/
It picks up the divi default formatting rather than the structure of the other pages, see example here: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/advice/finance/
It needs to sit in the same style template but I don’t know how to do this. I am using Divi theme but i am using the bbPress default set-up (not shortcodes).
Help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ollie

it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hello Robin,
Me again! We have come back to bbPress as after testing BuddyPress the client has decided this is more effective for their purpose.
Please can you let me know the best way to remove the sidebar from the forum pages? I found some old articles but nothing very recent. I am using DIVI theme if that helps.
Here is the forum so far – https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/
Many thanks,
Ollie
On my test site – it goes into being draft
If you look at
dashboard>replies>all replies
you should see it as draft in there – I did an approve to get it back.
Can you test that you get the same.
If you are getting that as well, then I’ll take a look to see what the bug is, as agree it should work on the front end.
I just created a new forum as a test, (called “test”) and when I did, the “Community” header just changed links, now it links to the Test forum. I’d like to remove the link entirely.
Sorry, so on that main forum index page, the Header, “Community” becomes a clickable link to the last created forum in the site.
My question, is, where/what template would insert this as a link? and why did it pick the latest forum created…
I can only suggest standard fault finding viz

My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine
I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.
I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.
Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?
@robin I am experiencing the exact same issue, even when using ?ao_noptimize=1 to shut off Autoptimize for testing.
I also use GeneratePress (pro), and bbpress with bbpstylepack .
The individual forums show perfectly, but the index is very broken and missing proper styling.
The issue can be seen here https://www.budget101.com/community/
ok, I am not sure what is happening

Hi.
I can’t figure out something.
My forum can be reached over two different links:
1. https://www.esperoart.com/members-forum/ – that’s the link used by logged in users. I have a widget with Latest Activity there.
2. But it can be also reached directly here: https://www.esperoart.com/forums/ – and here the widget is not displayed.
When someone clicks on any topic, for example Welcome Center, the breadcrumbs are: Home > Forums > Welcome Center. Now when that person wants to go back and clicks on “Forums” it takes him to the link from point 2 – which is like the main forum, but without the widget. He would have to click on “Home” to see the same page with the widget.
The navigation is inconsistent. How can I fix this?
Thank you
Chris
it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress
so the standard fault finding applies viz…

Hi there,
I have been testing bbPress for my site but I am not sure it is the right fit.
And so, I disable it and it causes a critical error in WordPress. I enable it again and the site comes back.
I am using WP 5.9, DIVI theme 4.14.7
Site: https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/
I would like to test BuddyPress but I don’t want to do this while I have this issue with bbPress.
Let me know if you need any further info.
Many thanks,
Ollie
works fine on my test site
Hi,
I have about 89000 posts in forum phpBB
I want import to bbPress but the script run and run and run without ever endling.
I have params the timeout of php script to 3600sec and check the connexion to database.
All is correct.
I haven’t error message.
How I can see the problem
Ps : I have test CMS2CMS and the demo work fine but the price is little expensive for me.
I don’t understand why the native doesn’t work.
ok I can only suggest the standard fault finding viz…

unfortunately no easy fix for this, I tend to use a site copy to test, and then replicate the chnages on live – it is obviously more work, but means the forum stays up to date
Hi Robin,
That’s correct – we’re having issues within our normal process where staging is the first stop for any new content creation as well as testing of plugins or new development. Have you encountered this in the past, and do you perhaps have a fix?
ok that phrase is not in bbpress, so something else is sending it.
‘blocklist’ looks like it should actually read ‘blacklist’
I can only suggest the standard fault finding to try and identify whether a plugin or theme is causing it

An error message with the wording ‘Spam email blocklist’ appears after someone posts a remark to a forum topic. The remark is added when the page is refreshed.
Screenshot:https://prnt.sc/26d7eye
I’ve done tests:
– Successfully add comments to a standard post
– Allows standard Twenty to be used. theme: the issue is still present
Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet isn’t working right now.
– There is no active spam filter.
Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9
Because it is a private website, I am unable to provide a URL. You’ll need to create an account. If you need access, I can share it with you.
ok, maybe look at
