my apologies. in no way did i mean to criticize you or this forum. i know that this is is free and i did not mean to complain at all. i was mainly surprised that given the incredible amount of pages using bbpress i expected this forum to be somewhat busier. in the meantime i figured out that it might be due to many relevant discussions actually being held on reddit.
furthermore, while the issue is somewhat inconvenient for my page i was mainly surprised that i am having the same issue in this forum and i just wanted to bring it to you attention.
There should be an image above this line.

yes or no?
Ok.
I’m a about to go online. Just waiting for the host activation. I will then forward you a new link to test the design live.
I just got notice when I went to the backend of my wordpress site that there was an update. It was a bbpress update, so I clicked to install it and it broke my website. I can’t get to the plugins page or anything to uninstall the update. Please help! Even the front end of my website is down.
It looked like it installed correctly, but I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access my homepage or any other page on the website.
“Downloading update from
Unpacking the update…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

Thank you,
Can I output the recent comments of the designated user?
I would like to specify user ID and display his latest 5 comments.
Would you mind teaching me how to do that?
Thanks.
I recently installed bbPress on my site countryguitaronline.com and it’s working great, but I’m having trouble saving my Menus in WP admin dashboard and I’m having trouble saving other settings here and there when I’m working in my WP admin dashboard.
Anyways, can I uninstall bbPress to see if there’s a plugin conflict, then re-activate bbPress and keep all the previous user forum posts and all that data? I’m assuming yes, but just wanted to check.
Thanks!
Hi there!
We are having the same issue on our website whenever we create a new BBPress topic. Tried adding it to GTM manually didn’t do the trick either.
In the search console, there is an hatom error everytime you create a new forum topic.
Missing author
Missing updated
Testing data online with Google structured data testing tool does not reveal error in that regards any idea what JSON-LD should be added to BBPress files to fix this?
Thanks
as stated above, i deactivated every single plugin beside bb press without any change. furthermore, the same is the case in this forum. just test it. apparently something is flawed in the bbpress plugin itself.
cheers
As far as I know the two work together
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
actually i can conform that, once the user logged in from the web the first time, the participant role was assigned. Still not surw why bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' ); didnt work out, maybe the timing issue as you mentioned. Thanks a lot for taking the time to test out the code and helping me out.
I’ve just done some testing
this code :
function test_set_user () {
$user_id = 1223 ;
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' );
}
add_action ('init' , 'test_set_user' ) ;
changes user 1223 on site load, so the code is fine.
I think it is a timing issue – ie when you are doing this. It may well be that even if this fires, a ‘create user’ firing after will overwrite this – eg this may set for pending, but then be overwritten by the final user creation.
Of course if it is always going to be participant, then bbpress allocates the user to the default role (as set in settings>forums>default role) if no bbpress role is set on first login, so you could just set up the user, and bbpress will take care of giving them a role when they first log in!
StreetLib Connect https://connect.streetlib.com is a bbpress-buddypress-powered forum and community about books by StreetLib, a full-featured service platform for authors and publishers.
The login system and the profiles are integrated with our own applications via CAS technology.
The forum is quite large, we have been able to semi-manually import an old SMF-powered forum with more than 150,000 messages. The difficult part was moving the automatically imported forum from a localhost bbpress to production.
We are using the 1925.4 patch to improve performance (queries, repair tools, etc. it would be unusable without it maybe).
So we are using the latest stable version 2.5 (patched) and the great OneSocial theme by BuddyBoss. Plus a lot of our own modifications.
Feel free to showcase our forum if you want, we would be glad!
I assume this is pretty standard, but on our forum site (http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/), the bbpress “reply box” is located at the bottom of any given Topic post. So, when someone wants to reply, they need to scroll all the way down. Also, directly beneath each existing reply is a “reply button”. If someone wants to reply to an existing reply, they click this button…. but what happens is that the Topic post reloads in their browser and then they’re taken to the bottom of the Topic where the reply-box resides.
What we want, is this: when someone clicks reply, a reply-box appears directly beneath the existing reply they’re replying to (basically, how reddit works). I’ve seen at least one site that has managed to do this with some kind of customizing of bbpress, but nobody seems to want to share.
In order to see how the reply button on our site currently works, you can use our dummy-test-account to login (just please be respectful and don’t make me delete too much spam) UN: [redacted] PW: [redacted] And use this discussion to see how the reply function currently operates: http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/key-concepts-study-group/forum/topic/reincarnation/
Any help at all would be hugely appreciated. The current functionality really makes for a poor forum experience for our members.
Also, we’re currently running bbpress 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.
ok, so not my plugin, but I cannot replicate the error

On my profile page, under the forums/subscriptions tabs, the author link under ‘last activity’ doesn’t just link to their profile. Instead it adds /forums/subscriptions/ to their profile url/bbp-author-name which takes me to a ‘page not found’ because subscriptions are not visible to other users.
Is this an error and if so, how do I strip or change the /forums/subscriptions/ portion of the url to /profile/ or remove it all together? Can someone confirm what this link looks like on their web forums?
The screenshot is from my profile page while viewing the forum/subscriptions section. The url reflects that as https://sucsforyou.com/members/newbeta/forums/subscriptions/
In the screenshot you’ll see the url in the bottom left corner has added that to the link, while the alt says ‘view profile.’
Thank you! I’m using bbPress with BuddyPress and WordPress- all latest editions.
While logged in and viewing the forum tab under other members’ profiles, I can see their Topics Started, Replies, and Favorites- no subscription tab is visible unless I’m on my own profile page.
The problem is when I’m looking at my subscriptions or topics, the author link under ‘last activity’ doesn’t just link to their profile. Instead it adds /forums/subscriptions/ to their profile url which takes me to a ‘page not found’ because their subscriptions are not visible to other users (I’m assuming).
Is this an error and if so, how do I strip or change the /forums/subscriptions/ portion of the url to /profile/ or remove it all together? Can someone confirm what this link looks like on their web forums? Thank you!

would depend on what he is trying to fix, and how much you trust, and what ‘data’ you site holds that could be embarrassing. If you hold no client info other than say usernames, then you could take a more relaxed attitude.
I tend to work on test/dev sites rather than live sites, and I like to have both cpanel and ftp access to sites I am working on, but most of what I do is code, and the ability to back out stuff is key.
suggest you look to build a test/dev site and give him access to that.
Creating a Test Site
I’m installing bbPress on a site using a lightly tweaked twenty sixteen theme. Testing how it would work for a normal user, I opened an incognito window, registered using a new username and password. When I login with these credentials, I get an admin bar across the top of the page with the “Howdy” message on the right and access to a very limited admin panel (because my status is “Subscriber, Participant”). How do I prevent this admin bar from showing when ordinary subscribers login?
Noticed when migrating from 2.5.12 to 2.6 beta 2 (and also in RC1 and RC3), that my custom CSS file in mytheme/css/bbpress.css is no longer being detected.
I am seeing that here as well… Since your post was never commented on, I don’t know if it was ignored or simply thought irrelevant. Or maybe missed. 🙂
Looking at the HTML between the old site and a test site running the SVN pull of 2.6, it seems that previously as part of the enqueue_styles() call, it generated:
<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel="stylesheet"" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/themes/mythemename/css/bbpress.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
Now it is generating:
<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel="stylesheet"" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css" type="text/css" media="all">
So, it is not looking in the site css folder, but instead pulling from the plugin folder.
Is this intentional? If not, is there a fix/workaround?
As this is still not resolved I wrote a simple script to solve this issue. For those stumbeling up on this here it is.
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
$position_raw = bbp_get_reply_position($reply_id, $topic_id);
// Remove the comma
$position = str_replace(',', '', $position_raw);
// Devide by the number of posts per page, in my case 15
// I didn't test it but I believe you can also use: get_option( 'posts_per_page' );
$page_raw = ceil($position / 15 );
if ($page_raw > 1) $page = '/page/' . $page_raw;
else $page = '';
$slug = get_post_field('post_name', get_post($topic_id));
// Replace YOUR_WEBSITE_URL with your own or use: bloginfo('wpurl')
// to retrieve it, but don't forget to concenate
$correct_link = 'YOUR_WEBSITE_URL/forums/topic/' . $slug . $page . '/#post-' . $reply_id;
You can probably place this inside some function but I placed it inside loop-single-reply.php and placed that inside my child-theme. In that case you also have to replace this:
<a href="<?php echo bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php echo bbp_reply_id(); ?></a>
with:
<a href="<?php echo $correct_link; ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php echo $reply_id; ?></a>
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work.
I deactivated every single plugin and tested it both on the twenty seventeen and twenty fifteen themes
No change.
Image links added as text (https://imgur.com/CxesmHF) show, as long as they are in a new line.
The result of using the dedicated button, wont.
*EDIT*
I just found out that the same is the case in this forum! Just try it.

another sample of the latest forums page where the above mentioned bbcodes have been used: https://www.ibf.lv/svaigakas-foruma-zinas/ (Latvian business forum)
A quick update – ..this topic ranks in the top positions of Google on these keywords and needs updating.
My suggestion: set up plugin “bbPress Advanced Statistics” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/
and use the shortcode: [bbpas-activity] (you have to enable it first in settings under “extra” tab”
—
Sample (latest forum posts): https://www.lustjobs.com/latest-posts-custom-forum-view/
There are 2 bbcodes on this page:
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbpas-activity]
—
as for the default bb code: you have to use use [bbp-stats] not [bbp-statistics]
