I use bbPress 2.5.14 on latest WP.
I have enabled TinyMCE with this code:
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['quicktags'] = false;
return $args;
}
It works well when a user posts a new topic.
But when a user wants to reply to a topic, the tinyMCE editor is displayed but is not editable.
I can’t see any error in the browser console.
Please advise.
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
Hello
I am using the latest version of WP and bbPress with iThemese Builder theme.
Through the theme functions I am able to show all parts of the forum on a particular theme layout, apart from the forum index page when the breadcrumb ‘forums’ link is clicked. This takes me back to the main template layout which does not have the forum wigdets as required on all forum pages.
I also have the same issue with the search results.
I have tried the following code but as I am not overly familiar with bbPress conditionals it does not solve the problem. I believe what I am look for is the correct information to go into this line:
if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( ‘page’ ) )
// create view for forums
function custom_filter_category_layouts( $layout_id ) {
if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( 'page' ) )
return '599b46ad5fa63';
return $layout_id;
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_category_layouts' );
Any advice appreciated.

Hi there,
Running the latest of everything here (as of 23/10/2017). I’ve noticed an unexpected behaviour on my Buddypress/bbPress site that is basically the behaviour outlined here 3+ years ago: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/showing-buddypress-hidden-group-forums-to-group-members-on-bbpress-forum-index/
When a group is hidden, and thus the forum connected to the group is hidden, on the forum index page:
– Admins and keymasters can see all forums listed, including the hidden group forum (whether they are a member of that group or not).
– Members who ARE members of the group can’t see the hidden forum on the forum index page. They have to go via Groups > select the group > Forum to see it.
We’re running the Recent Topics widget, too, and I’ve noticed a similar thing happening here.
– As an admin/keymaster, you can see all recent topics, including those posted to hidden forums (even when not a member of the group).
– As a member of the group, you CAN’T see the recent topics from your group – UNLESS you are on the group’s forum page, then it shows them as expected.
Is there something wrong in setup here, or is this as designed?
It seems like it’d make sense for members of a group (regardless of roles elsewhere on the site) to see the forum on the forum index, and the updates in the Recent Topics widget.
Thanks heaps!

In addition to the my question above:
It seems that I can log in with my mailadress instead of my username. I saw that the BBpress plugin has not been tested with WP version 4.8.2. Could this be the issue here?
I’ve created eight forums, and am in testing mode.
In just ONE of these forums, my “participant” test user can’t see or create topics.
I can’t see anything different about that forum at all.
I’ve run the “repair forums” tools, no effect.
Is this a known issue?
WP 4.8.4
BBPress 2.5.14

Relevant tag validation code for above since I had to write it for my project anyways:
function new_reply_pre_set_terms_tag_test($terms, $topic_id, $reply_id)
{
//Bail Early if not set
if(!$terms)
return $terms;
//Bail early if we are allowed to modify tags
if(current_user_can( 'modify_topic_tags' ))
return $terms;
if(!is_array($terms))
$terms = explode(', ', $terms);
//For each to check if array term already exists. Remove if doesnt
foreach ($terms as $tag => $tag_value):
if(!term_exists($tag_value, 'topic-tag')):
unset($terms[$tag]);
endif;
endforeach;
return implode(', ', $terms);
}
function new_topic_pre_insert_tag_test($data)
{
//Bail Early
if(!is_array($data) || !isset($data['tax_input']) || !isset($data['tax_input']['topic-tag']))
return $data;
//Bail early if we are allowed to modify tags
if(current_user_can( 'modify_topic_tags' ))
return $data;
//Make sure we're an array
if(!is_array($data['tax_input']['topic-tag']))
$data['tax_input']['topic-tag'] = array($data['tax_input']['topic-tag']);
//For each to check if array term already exists. Remove if doesnt
foreach ($data['tax_input']['topic-tag'] as $tag => $tag_value):
if(!term_exists($tag_value, 'topic-tag')):
unset($data['tax_input']['topic-tag'][$tag]);
endif;
endforeach;
return $data;
}
add_filter('bbp_new_reply_pre_set_terms','new_reply_pre_set_terms_tag_test', 22, 3);
add_filter('bbp_edit_reply_pre_set_terms','new_reply_pre_set_terms_tag_test', 22, 3);
add_filter('bbp_new_topic_pre_insert','new_topic_pre_insert_tag_test');
Since this weekend I’ve been testing BBpress, trying to migrate an Invision 3.4.x forum through the BBpress importer. This is a forum with 38.000 members and 320.000 forum posts.
Using the 2.5.14 BB importer version this did not go well: it would hang several times and stop at around 250.000 posts.
Importing with version 2.6 RC3 went considerably better. Last night the complete forum was imported in 1 run! So that is really promising!!
But as we do not know whether the 2.6 RC3 version is stable enough to keep using, and we do not know when the 2.6 final release would be released, one might consider to use the 2.6 version for import and then downgrade to the last stable version 2.5.14 for the time being.
But the question is ofcourse: is this wise? And is this going to bring trouble? Who could advise me in this matter?
Greetz,
Peetee.
I would like to add the Recent Topic Widget to the Footer of my page, however it does not match the format.. I have opened the widget.php file and found it but keep getting stuck on the code.. Any ideas/help?
Below is the link.. I would like the recent topics to match the recent posts part of the footer..

Hi John,
Sorry for the delay…further testing has revealed it’s the Mailgun plugin causing the 502… Argh!

I have an old forum running on phpBB 2+ version. It has nearly 70000 users and 400000 artcles.
Now I need to migrate it to latest bbPress. In bbPress documentation I read that it support importing from phpBB 3.0+, So how can I achieve this migration?
I’m running: BBPRESS 2.5.14, WordPress 4.8.2 and BuddyPress 2.9.1
Website: http://www.bigidolforum.org
I am currently building the site, utilizing the “Highend” Theme. Feel free to create user accounts and test at will.
1: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames work perfectly in BuddyPress sections of the site such as Groups and Profile Pages.
2: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames do not exist on bbpress pages. This makes it nearly impossible to navigate to other user profiles.
3: While logged out and viewing Forum Index, usernames and respective profile images appear under Freshness display time. There are no hyperlinks on these while logged out.
4: While logged in and viewing the Forum Index, Freshness displays only time, no usernames or profile images.
The most important thing to me right now is repairing the missing hyperlinks while viewing the forum. I would like to stabilize the Freshness situation by removing profile images/usernames completely or making it entirely functional. I am an entry level site builder looking to learn as I go. This site will be used by hundreds or thousands due to a large social media following. I love the challenge but it’s hard to find where to start on these issues.
Yes that would be the best solution, depending on their support for theme customization. I have extracted(just for testing purposes) the CSS from there live demo site for ‘discoverypro’, and can confirm it is the cause of the bbPress styling issues.
Users names from under their profile pictures trail off the right side of the screens
fix:
.bbp-body .bbp-topic-meta .bbp-author-name{
display:block;
}
when reading posts and replies within topics, all the users profile pics squash themselves all together at the top left hand-side of the screen.
*I cannot recreate this issue as it is specific to your website, however if you could provide a link to your forums/website it would be possible to fix the issue.
A quick google search listed the following plugins
For converting topics to posts one at a time:
Post Type Switcher
By John James Jacoby
For bulk converting topics to posts:
Convert Post Types
By Stephanie Leary
However these plugins do not convert replies to comments. You will have the option to convert topics to posts, and separately convert replies to posts. They do not automatically sync replies as comments to the post. (I have not thoroughly tested the plugins and I could be mistaken)
Warning: I do not recommend running these on a live site as there is a potential for things going very wrong. Before converting or making changes to the database always make backups, and test locally first.
You could make a request with the authors of the respective plugins, and possibly you may find a solution
Sure, here’s all that info:
I am using the very latest WordPress, I updated recently but unaware if the problem existed beforehand. I have had this wp theme for 3 years and I remember BBpress working well when I first installed it just over 2 years ago.
The only affected area is only within topic at the point of conversation threads. The issue happens when the screen is at iPhone6+ size and smaller when viewed on the portrait side.
All avatars shift to the top left-hand side of screen together as they all sit on top of each other. I have viewed this on the chrome and safari browser.
Any ideas upon what I can do to overcome this?
We’ve changed the email address gathering & sending methods in bbPress 2.6 to try and accommodate bigger sets of users. You could try upgrading your forums to the latest 2.6 release candidate, and see if it makes a difference.
I understand, just my two cents, it is most likely an issue with one of the plugins.
In the wordpress dashboard under settings > bbP private groups –> under the topic permissions tab try to disable topic permissions or change configuration in the plugin.
I can not replicate your issue as i have tested the smart magazine theme and bbpress is working just fine for me. I am not familiar with the bbP private groups plugin, but i have just tested it, and it is throwing some php errors for me. It might be a compatibility issue with the latest version of wordpress or bbpress.
I would recommend to start by disabling the bbP private groups plugin first and disable plugins one by one to trace the cause of the issue.
I’m sorry if i could not be much help, hope you can share your results , and perhaps someone else could offer a solution
To find the location of the template files navigate to:
‘wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bppress/’
You will find all the template parts in this folder. It is recommended to not modify the files directly, instead create a folder named bbPress in the ‘generatepress’ theme root folder. ie. ‘wp-content/themes/generatepress/bbpress/’ copy any files you wish to modify into this folder. This way updates to bbPress wont overwrite any files you have modified and your changes wont be lost.
Test this by copying the content-archive-forum.php to the newly created bbpress folder and begin to modify the file.
a simple php echo command will confirm it is working by printing a message at the top of the content-forum-archive template.
<?php echo "Hello world!"; ?>
The Example provided in the previous reply can be pasted on top, or wherever you would like to display the topics. Some formatting is required, by adding appropriate div classes and styling with css as necessary. Would be happy to help with any of the html, php or wordpress functions if there is any difficulty.
*my apologies if this a duplicate reply, previous reply did not get submitted properly,spam protection may have blocked it, since it included links to screenshots on imgur.
you can see the problem here
General Discussion
there are two test posts in the forum. It says “This forum contains 2 topics” but the topics are not properly listed
I’m not using a browser extension and I’m using the latest version of browser.
If you are using any browser extension then try disabling it.
Make sure you are using latest version of browser.
Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.
I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.
Are you getting it on visiting the following URL where you have to replace yoursite.com with your site domain?
http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum
Try deactivating and reactivating bbPress plugin.
This can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except bbPress plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41134 seems relevant here.
@fabian If you wanted to take a stab at sprucing bbPress up with its own polyfill for autoload support, I’m happy to help test and implement.
We should probably open a ticket on our Trac as well.
