Hi there, I am a newbie to bbpress and need some help. I have installed and activated bbpress on my site on WordPress 4.1 and none of the admin menus such as Forums, Topics, Replies appear in the backend of the site on the left hand admin menu. I was wondering what might have gone wrong and how to get this to work. I have tried deactivating other plugins and still no good. I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing a few times without any luck. No actual error message appears on the site so I do not have anything else to go on, so maybe someone has some tips. Thanks

Its worth noting the forums do appear in the groups section of buddypress and you can post to them but they are just not displaying in the backend at all so its hard to see how to configure them or moderate them.

if it’s not a plugin issue viz

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.

the it is likely to be a a theme issue

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Thanks for the tips here Robin, unfortunately deactivating the plugins and then trying to install and activate the bbpress plugin once more does not generate any options menu under Settings or any admin menus such as Topics, Forums, Replies that you would usually see here. Any other ideas on this?

did you try the theme as suggested above

Same issue. Deactivating all plugins except bbpress and changing themes does nothing.

[@allmyhoney Participant 9 years, 11 months ago]

I have to actually install a new wordpress to get it to show its admin menus etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed

[@allmyhoney Participant 9 years, 11 months ago]

Well its not really a fix, I am currently rebuilding the site from scratch now as I have no idea what caused the issue in the first place.

[@robin-w Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

ok

@allmyhoney if you do find the issue that caused it in the future , post a reply in this topic about it.
