I had to deactivate all plugins to determine which one was causing an issue for my site. After identifying the issue (nothing to do with BbPress) and reactivating my plugins all forums have disappeared from the sites and as an option in WordPress new forum posts.

As BbPress and BuddyPress have bother both reactivated I have no idea why the forums are gone?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve gone through my site several times reviewing many different options but I can’t figure this out?

My site is: http://www.whichinvest.com
I have the latest versions of WordPress/BBPress/Buddypress.

Thanks

I have found some more information that may be relevant. My forums still exist, here’s one http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/forums/topic/our-top-10-tips-on-where-to-start-as-a-new-investor/

The option to select a bbPress forum is gone when I’m creating a post but even if I use a short code such as [bbp-single-forum id=8671] the forum still fails to appear in the post.

I can’t figure out what’s stopping this from working, what is blocking it?

Hello?

[dice2dice]

Where is bbPress support???????

[Robkk]

when i went to http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/forums/

i saw the forums listed.

can you just not see it??

or is it something else.

it could be a cache issue try to clear your cache from a plugin you have and see if that fixes it.

Yes the forums still exist @Robk but they’ve disappeared from posts.

What I mean by that is when you create a new post you have the option of adding a bbPress forum, an option which I always took so that every article has a new or an existing forum linked to it. But the option to add a forum has disappeared, and worse than that so have all the forums have disappeared from every post.

Here is a great example of a post that that had man comments and that looks ridiculous without its forum:

Thor forum is always at the bottom of the page.

I don’t understand how I simply cannot have forums on my posts any more and after 20 hours of searching around the internet I have no semblance of an answer.

How does bbPress integrate with WordPress? What would prevent it from suddenly not integrating?

See the following image which is in the ‘New Post’ section of the back end of the site. The arrow highlights where there used to be an option to add a bbPress forum but it’s now gone:

@dice2dice

are you using bbPress Topics for Posts??

because i think that plugin has that kind of functionality if i can recall.

[dice2dice]

It is the plugin. I had it turned off because WordPress warns that it hasn’t been updated for over a year.

@robkk if you were here I’d give you a big kiss. I’ve had over 30 emails/contact form messages from website members complaining about the forums disappearing. My web designer in in the Arctic for Xmas, I couldn’t find anyone else with bbPress experience, couldn’t find any instance of a similar problem through many, many internet searches, it’s been a stressful 24 hours so thank you very kindly.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , your welcome i guess?? haha

about it not being updated in over a year , the plugin is very simple it basically just outputs a shortcode at the bottom of blog posts.

and also that this functionality is going to be implemented in the future release of bbPress.

so when the update comes and says bbPress for WordPress comments in the changelog of the plguin. you can pretty much just remove the topics for posts plugin from there on and just use bbPress.
