It could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

Hi all: after further testing, this only happened because it was a staging site, i.e. WP was installed in an unusual subfolder. Now that is no longer staging, works correctly.

Hi,

I really like bbpress, but i’ve been having a problem on my website. I’ve downloaded the plugin, activated it. Created forum, register, and lost password pages. Checked “Anyone can register” in settings. Yet, when I try to to register with username and email address in Incognito mode to test it out. after clicking the final “register” button the page just acts as if it refreshed. and no verification is sent to my email address.

Somebody help..

Hmm…well, I don’t think it’s anything nefarious.

WordPress is testing to see if any URLs inside those posts point to content that can be embedded and—though in your case I’m guessing that mostly is not the case, because it sounds like the result is mostly {{unknown}}—it then caches the result of its tests for better efficiency.

If you don’t need or want this, you can disable it. I haven’t needed to do this and so have not tried any of the following guides myself, but perhaps they’ll be useful to you:

Why would the short code for latest topics display the topics for some users but not for others?

Non-logged in users and subscriber/participant levels cannot see the Topics on the page where the shortcode is used – yet they can see everything fine when they go the actual Forums.

But I as admin can see the Topics fine when I visit the page where the shortcode is used.

WordPress 5.1.1
bbPress 2.5.14

I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?

Hello bbPress team and users

I am currently setting up my first bbpress forum. I am using buddypress and gamipress (didnt set it up so far) too.

I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?

Another question somebody could maybe anwser. Can I show gamipress ranks and points below the avatar in postings or other informations from buddypress profiles, or any bbpress related informations?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day to the whole in community!

Installed bbPress (2.7RC) to test and I like the improved dashboard for information but still having the import issue – though now I’m informed that it reaches step 6:

Step 6. No forum subscriptions to import
and just doesn’t move past that point. As a note there are no other plugins activated at all in my wordpress install – this is brand new and i’m starting out with the bbPress plugin since it’s the largest potential issue.

[atcreat]

I created a site using buddypress. The shortcodes like [bbp-login], [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass] not working. It just shows the shortcode. I tested it with the theme Twenty Seventeen and NO other plugin installed. WordPress 5.1.1, PHP 7.3 (tested also with 5.6 and 7.2), and Buddypress 4.2.0.
You can see it here: https://bbpress.at-creation.ch/login/
Thanks for your help.

hi i had created a forum with the bbPress plugin on my block, but then i still want something displaying the latest topic in forum on my front page. I have to look for some plugins to do the job but it is really difficult to find a good one.
it will be a nice thing to me if you can really help thanks!

tested !

bbpress is forum software, and with lost of bespoke coding you might possibly get what you want, but you would probably be better looking for a testimonial plugin.

just google ‘wordpress testimonial plugin’

[Robin W]

it will be a change

Hi,

I am working on a product testimonials project and would like to know if bbpress is the right plugin for the job. Can it do the following:

Visitors can search and view testimonials
Visitors can create an account to post testimonials

Testimonials will include
Title
Text
product name text field: Product used
product url text field: Product link
if text field blank -> default will be used

Account members can post questions under testimonials – original poster will be notified and can reply
Possibly create a paid account where ads are removed.

Thank you!!

Hello,

I have my WordPress site set to my timezone, but the times shown in the Dashboard Box “Latest Forum Topics and Replies” shows posts with times from a different timezone.

ie I just posted something and looked at the dashboard box and it says “posted 9 hours ago”… (btw my timezone is UTC+9, so it seems the dashboard box is assuming UTC…

By the way, on the forum itself it shows the correct time of posting. So, it only seems to be the dashboard box.

[Robin W]

I think this may do it – but I’ve no knowledge of mathml, other than a quick google

This code is untested, but add this to your child theme function file or use the ‘code snippets’ plugin

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'rew_add_mathml') ;

function rew_add_mathml ($allowed) {
	$allowed['math'] = array() ;
	$allowed['mo'] = array() ;
	$allowed['mi'] = array() ;

return $allowed ;
}

you would need to add lines for other tags required.

[Robin W]

can only suggest that something else is putting it there

maybe try

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.

untested but add this to your functions file or use code snippets plugin

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop', 'rew_add_custom_menu'  ); 
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_loop'', 'rew_add_custom_menu'  ); 

function rew_add_custom_menu () {
echo 'your link here' ;

}

2 things occur

1. this is the code in the template

<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?></li>

2. these functions are looking for id so maybe

<?php $post_id=get_the_ID() ; ?>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php bbp_topic_voice_count($post_id); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic($post_id) ? bbp_topic_reply_count($post_id) : bbp_topic_post_count($post_id); ?></li>

untested, but you get the idea

I’ve just noticed that the forum links in my wp-admin have disappeared. I cannot see “forums” “topics” or “replies”.

When I try and go directly to the link:
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic

I get the error:

You need a higher level of permission.
—-
Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.

However I am logged in as an Administrator. The forums are still available on the front-end of my site, I just cannot edit anything in the admin panel.

I have tried deactivating my plugins, and also reverting my theme back to TwentySeventeen, and it still does not show.

I downloaded a User Editor plugin to see if I could edit permissions, but the Administrator has full permissions on the forums.

I noticed this was mentioned in a previous thread here, and so I went downloaded the latest RC version, but this didn’t fix it either.

Any ideas? :/

can you swap to a default theme and retest with only bbpress running as plugin
