I’m using bbPress to add forum functionality to an online university that wants a dedicated forum for each of their 79 courses.

I’ve set up one general forum, one “Course-Specific Conversation” parent forum, and then course-specific child forums under that, and the problem I’m having is that there simply aren’t any pagination controls for me to navigate through those child forums.

Thinking maybe it was a theme conflict, I changed to Twenty Twenty, and the controls still aren’t shown.

This seems pretty basic, so I assume I must be missing something.

Has anyone else come across this? Any advice on how to resolve it?

I’m not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here. I can’t remember fully, but I have it in the back of my mind that there is an issue with that many forums, but don’t have time to set up 79 test forums to find out what it was.

Then simplest solution would be to amend the page to show all the forums

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

and set item 11

Sorry for the delayed response, but I’ve been on sabbatical.

That plugin did the trick by enabling me to adjust how many forums are shown per page, which bypasses the issue with pagination. So thank you very much, Robin!

Great – glad you are fixed, and thanks for reporting back 🙂
