Hello! I have installed bbpress to my wordpress site that I host on a private host. Everything seems to have installed fine. So here is the problem. No users, regardless of their role, is able to view the initial topic post. All replies are viewable, just not the original post.

Website: http://main.coto-online.com/forums/

I have tried repairing the forums, and it doesn’t work. I have tried disabling/re-enabling plugins and it doesn’t work. I’m hesitant to uninstall/reinstall the forums as I don’t want to lose the posts members have already made.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

create a bbpress.php from your page.php file or single.php and remove any useless information like comments code.

ok, I’m new to this, any where I can find a step by step?

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

well step by step its pretty much this

copy page.php using FTP or your hosts file manager

rename to bbpress.php using FTP or your hosts file manager

remove unwanted code from bbpress.php using an editor like notepad++ through FTP or your hosts file manager.

TIPS:

make sure that the bbpress.php is in the root of your child theme.

remove unwanted code like comments code , something like this <?php comments_template(); ?>
