Guys thanks for the help. Also I had not updated from a previous 2.5.2 version, 2.5.3 was first installment.
I now think the problem stems from a plugin added a few days ago – This one: Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)
I had a little play around and not sure why, but even when I re-installed bbpress none of the icons for forum would show on left, when classifieds was deactivated it sprang to life.
Very odd, but I had to look at what changed have been made recently as I am the only person who works on my site, and other than installing this other plugin last few days, my work has primarily been on content.
I will report back with any update, but thanks for both your help.
Nothing on site has been updated lately, no new plugins added. All replies in forum have disappeared. All topics remain working, and inside the forum the correct voices etc still show i.e. This topic contains 18 replies, has 7 voices.
Inside admin under Replies absolutely nothing shows in here either. It just seems like all replies have vanished. The only real sign of hope or saving them is that in the forums it’s still detecting them by saying the activity (which should be inside each topic).
What could have happened. Have tried deactivating plugin, nothing works. Page cache has been emptied also.
Am using the latest version 2.5.3
Any help much appreciated.
Hi.
I recently updated to version 2.5.3 in my online classroom. I’m using WordPress 3.8.
After my update all content within my forum topics disappeared.
The forums remain. All topics remain. All replies within the topic are gone.
Any help would be appreciated.
No, I do not have a backup. I’m new to maintaining a website.

Hi again,
It worked before, but stopped after i made some changes in the code. But i can’t find the error or where in the code the problem is. I’ve also updated to the new version of bbpress, do you think it has any effect?
Hi bbPress,
There seems to be a conflict between WP 3.8 and bbPress. If I have bbPress enabled my blog shows a 404 page “The page you requested cannot be found”
If I disable bbPress, then my blog loads no problem.
I have disabled ALL plugins to verify that it is just bbPress.
Can anyone help me?
Last night I took a look at and managed to correct the 2 topic threads where threading was not working. In these 2 threads, I went into the administrator dashboard, then to “All Replies”. I looked at each reply to the thread in the edit screen. What I found were 2 different symptoms causing the failures.
In one case, a reply (say #306) that was being replied to did not have a permalink ending in “/reply/306/” – instead it had a permalink the same as the topic. When I updated the permalink to end with the reply number, went back to the thread and refreshed the browser, threading indents were working.
In the other case, a reply (say #396) had the correct permalink, but in the “Reply Attributes” its “Reply To” attribute was also 396 – it somehow was a reply to itself. When I corrected that, went back to the thread and refreshed the browser, threading indents were working.
There were also some places where it was obvious that moderators and contributors were doing replies to each other’s replies with no threading, but here the permalinks were correct and the “Reply To” attribute was 0, so I am going to say for now that they did not use the REPLY link on the comment they were replying to, but did a reply to topic instead.
Do you have the latest version 1.0.1 of ‘bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab’ installed?
(It was updated a couple of days ago)
Also I am not sure of the bbPress compatibility of the ‘tinyMCE advanced module’, does everything work as it should with this plugin disabled?
So…
I’ve been working on this today, and I successfully converted my phpbb3 forum into my local bbPress for an updated install, exported the bbPress database tables from my local, and imported them into my live site. For some reason my live site bbPress isn’t recognizing the freshly imported bbPress tables 🙁
Any ideas what I can do at this point? I ran the bbPress repair tool before doing the export on the local, and ran it again several times since importing it on my live site. I also did some visual comparisons of the bbPress tables in both databases, and they seem to be in order.
Signed,
AtMyWitsEnd ;D
Edit – PS: I also tried adding the tables both with bbPress activated and with it inactivated, deleted the tables each time before importing them again.
All I know is I’ve got it running on my local for the update before the latest and it’s working. Haven’t updated yet because I’m in the process of converting forums and need everything to stay stable until I get it all figured out…
Edit: PS – if it doesn’t work all you have to do is replace the files with the backup files you save before you try it out.
Hello. I just updated to bbPress 2.5.2 on WP 3.8, and am having a little trouble with the text box label bbp_topic_title (ie, Topic Title (Maximum length:80)) interfering with the forum title on the main page. On a post page, the text box label bbp_topic_tags (ie, Tags) also interferes with the forum title. For some reason it is not applying the labels to the text box and is putting it at the top of the page. Any thoughts on how to fix the issue? Here is a link to the site – http://smartchurch.staging.wpengine.com/?forum=confirmation-forum Let me know if you need any further information. Thank you!

Den – Thanks for the feedback- on review the guide was both unclear and on one point wrong !
I have amended and updated the guide to make it both clearer and correct in step 5.
Please continue to provide feedback – this helps others who come after you !
I have not seen anyone else report anything like what you mention.
Have you updated top WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2 and tested with the Twenty Thirteen theme?
Also some screenshots would be beneficial
I am having the same problem, I updated to WP 3.8 and my forums will not work at all, I have no Forum tab on my dashboard, I have un-installed and re-installed several times, I have even manually installed it. I am lost here, I can see my old forum topics, but I cannot do anything with them and I cannot add new topics or anything.
Hello, I am not sure if this is the right spot for this topic, but I am noticing an issue with the new WP 3.8 release on all my sites using bbPress with WP. When my clients or myself go to edit or create a new post/topic/forum, the publish date icon is repeating horizontally. This clears up when I disable bbPress by itself and know it to be across sites I recently updated. A screenshot can be seen here. Any help in resolving this issue would be great!
As it is used in many spots I would suggest you add the translation now.
Most of these translations only happened in the past two days so I would expect you won’t have to wait long for the translations to be updated.
Once you translate that string fill out this form https://he.wordpress.org/contact/
More info is also here in Hebrew https://he.wordpress.org/translate-wordpress/
Hi, I have updated, and I still have this problem.. 🙁
It looks like “Topic Status” has not been translated yet 🙁
Hebrew 91% Translated 943 Strings Translated 92 Strings untranslated
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/he/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
You could help by translating those 91 remaining strings and then fill out the form here and let them know “There are some strings for bbPress waiting to be validated”, once these are approved you can update your translations.

Note: In the very near future any updated translations will arrive via WordPress’ automatic updates 🙂
I just updated that page to ‘Topics – How many topics to show per page’
As to combining the ‘Forum Index with Topics by Freshness’ I’m not exactly sure what you mean by this, for example look at the following two pages here on bbpress.org
https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation/ <- That’s the ‘Instalation’ forum 25 topics/page
https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting/ <- That’s the ‘Troubleshooting’ forum 25 topics/page
If you wanted to have something like below on a single page then you would have to customize your templates or use some shortcodes on your page to get the layout you want. It is quite doable but once you get 50 topics for example in a forum finding ‘Forum B’ or any other forums below that list will be extremely difficult.
Forum A
- Topic 1
- Topic 2
- Topic 3
- … etc
Forum B
- Topic 1
- Topic 2
- Topic 3
- … etc
Some seriously nice work in your script 🙂
I have just merged your changes into mine
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7889409/revisions
And I forked your Gist and merged those changes into yours https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7955389/revisions
Both files are the same and you can download either to use and test, using the /revisions it should show you a little clearer the changes I made.
In summary the main updates were:
* Fixes PHP Class name – From Example_Converter to miniBB
* Includes forum slug
* Uses the callback_topic_reply_count for topic/reply counts
* Added topic Author IP
* Added topic slug
* Added topic status (Open/Closed) and callback
* Added reply post id
* Added reply title and reply title callback
* Added reply slug
* Updated password verify class miniBB
* Stores custom user profile _bbp_minibb_user_instantmessenger, _bbp_minibb_user_occupation, _bbp_minibb_user_location & _bbp_minibb_user_interests in wp_usermeta
Hi. Since I updated, the shortcode is no longer working.
Exactly, that is what I mean with a major update, if code is added or changed in the templates or css.
If that happens I will need to go through all changed templates and apply the edits to the updated templates or css.
For css that is easy, just add css and if needed do ! important to override (works 95% of the time)
For templates it will be adding additions, mostly html, again to the updated templates
and then put that all again in the theme folder
Help! I’ve been at this for hours and am going out of my mind…
I have the latest of everything, bbpress, buddypress and have deactivated all plugins except for buddypress, bbpress, members and akismet. I actually even deleted and reinstalled buddypress, bbpress and members. I deactivated my theme and am using the default buddypress one.
The site is visually a mess: http://www.tafaforum.com/
I am the only one who can post on the forums. Everything was fine until yesterday when several plugins updated, including bbpress. I had also been mucking around with trying to get a tinymce plugin to work for the forums.
If I disable everything and just have bbpress, I can post (as a fake member). Add buddypress, and I get a “You cannot reply to this topic” message at the bottom.
I messed around with roles and have enabled everything possible that could contribute to this, but the one thing that I notice is that the members all have an author role for their wordpress roles (as I want them to post on our blog), and even though they all show participant for their forum roles on the Users Page, when I go into the settings for the roles, I only see the author role as having any users, not the participant one.
Yes, this could be a buddypress or members issue, but bbpress is the one that had the latest update, so I figure that the problem starts here. If not, please send me where I need to go….
Use this plugin, it was updated today to also support the new forum subscriptions 🙂
