I cannot seem to add a Forum link to my main navigation menu. When I attempt to do this the link is not added to the menu structure and the site defaults to no menu being selected under menu locations. Please advise.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

can you add any other links??

and i dont think bbpress would cause a problem in the menus section in wordpress.

[@bnovak Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Actually, when the bbPress plugin is activated I cannot make any Menu item changes at all.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

have you deactivated every plugin you have one at a time to see if its another plugin causing the issue

if you havent check on that just to make sure

if you have already done this and are positive it is bbpress absolutely causing the problem, please also tell us

what wordpress version you are using
what theme you use
and maybe a list of plugins

so i could see if i could recreate the problem

[@bnovak Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

I tried deactivating the other plugins but this did not help. It definitely seems to be related to the bbpress plugin. I’m using the latest version of WP. I’m trying to migrate an existing site http://colonclub.com over to a new host. The current site uses phpBB forum but we would like to switch to bbpress if possible. I can provide you with a login to check things out if that helps.

yeah i dont have problems creating links in my menus and i have bbpress and wordpress 4.0

yeh toss some login details and ill check it out and see whats up

if you want it to be kind of private send the login details to my email

robcorey(at)hotmail(dot)com

wordpress has it where you can send the login data to a new user , when you register one in the backend.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

i think i got it now, email me if you have any more with it

[@bnovak Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Turns out that I was having an issue with a limit on the number of custom menu items. The limit of menu items in WordPress is 90. When I activated bbpress and tried to add my forums I had exceeded the limit of menu items and was therefore unable to add my forums to the site navigation. There is a fix for this.

Create a php.ini file and place it in in “wp-admin” folder then add:

Put the following in your php.ini file:
max_input_vars = 3000;
