bbPress.org

The replies simply disappeared after I moved its topic. I don’t think this happened with all topics – and all have been moved to a different forum which is now the main and only one – which is the weirdest thing! We have this topic that had at least a couple hundreds of replies and after I moved that topic to another forum, only 24 replies are available… I’ve used Tools to recount everything and nothing is happening. I’ve cleared the cache as well.

Any idea why this is happening and how could I fix this?

I’ve looked up here for a solution and found nothing… Please help!

WordPress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4-5380
Buddypress 2.0.2

Thank you!

Hi,

We are moving from bbPress 1. We’ve successfully used the import tool to bring over all of the data including users. But my questions is, if we reset the forums, but leave the users, and then do another import, will the topics and posts be assigned to correct preexisting users?

WordPress 4.0 running Montezuma theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.4
Site location: http://ecopsi.org/forums/

Breadcrumbs
Including the theme I have three sets of breadcrumbs with the WP theme breadcrumbs at the top and which follow the forums well enough. Below are of course the two bbPress breadcrumbs. I want to hide both the bbPress breadcrumbs. The one immediately above the forums and the partial one on the right next to the search box.

I found some helpful things here

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

and here

bbPress Styling Crib

Unfortunately the directions assume expertise beyond mine. I was able to do things like float [subscribe] to the right of the console but hiding the breadcrumbs per the directions didn’t work for some reason. My php kung fu isn’t much to brag about.

Forums Name
A more experienced person helped me change the name [Forums] to [The EcoPsi Forums] but it only partially worked and didn’t change the name in the primary breadcrumbs at the top. It also didn’t change the name of the root of the forums which is still [Forums]. I want make the [Home] link at the root of the forums go away. It annoyingly tempts me to click thinking I’ll return to the root of the forums but instead takes me to root of the website.

Finally, how do I make the posts and the editor wider. Is that CSS controlled by my theme or bbPress? Any idea how long it’s going to be before Live Preview is ready for prime time?

Hello,

I’ve got a simple forum set up using the shortcode. I used the same shortcode on the translated page (French). When bbPress is activated, I have noticed the following issues:

– The top right language switcher re-directs me to the french homepage instead of the community forums page. If bbpress is de-activated, the language switcher works as advertised. All other pages are fine.

– The shortcoded forum on the French page does not carry over custom css styles I input with the Simple Custom CSS plugin. Seems like it has to do with the page template I am using. For some reason, the English side automatically uses my theme’s ‘Upcoming Events’ template. I have the option to choose on the French side, but if I pick that same ‘Upcoming Events’ one, the custom css colours do not carry over.

And lastly, and I believe this is a concern of many. A moderator to the site can not create or modify forums – which I find ridiculous. Any work around to this?

Any help would be appreciated

I’m trying to get bbpress up and running with Buddypress, and it’s all working fine except that the topics are not showing up in the forums.

The forums themselves are showing up, but when I click on a category it takes me to the page where the topics should be, and it has the message, “This forum contains 2 topics and was last updated…”

Then under that there’s the message, “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

But if there are 2 topics, they should be found there, no?

I’ve tried looking at it with the twenty fourteen theme, and the topics to in fact show up. So why wouldn’t they show up in the other theme?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Good Morning.
I installed the forum on my website. I proceeded with Widges and put me in a position. Unfortunately the direct link for the user to participate in the forum does not appear anywhere in my web. But if I go to the direct link that generates the admin panel, it takes me to the form.
Do I display the link of forums?

Thank you

I recently changed theme and seems that this impacts bbpress also. If I have a long title, it splits on two lines and the one bellow has not enough space:

WordPress 4.0 – This page has a redirect loop

Thankx for the help!

Hello,

at the moment I have:

website.ext: html pages
website.ext/blog/: wordpress 4.0
website.ext/forum/: bbpress 1.0.2

I managed to import my jurassic bbpress installation into wordpress via plugin, I just dont find a way to keep my forum on the current url.

It’s true i can change the slug in the settings, but it would just be a different name under the /blog/ directory like, for example, website.ext/blog/myforum/

My question is: is it possible to import my old forum via plugin from website.ext/blog/ and have the forum where it is now (website.ext/forum/)?

Thank you very much.

I hope it’s OK to post something like this…

I’m brand new to bbpress and not a professional developer. I’m using it with Buddypress on my new site – I’m moving a community from Facebook to the site. A lot of my members are not very net-savvy and are unfamiliar with how forums works. So, I’m trying to offer familiar functions that they’ve seen on Facebook. The forum is going to be the main hub of the site, so I need to get it look good and easy to use.

Set up has gone well, but the forum is just looking a bit dull.

Is there a better way I can display the forum to show the activity?

Are there any other plugins people would recommend to make the forums as similar as possible to what my members have been used to in the Facebook group?

I have a Latest Activity feed on the site homepage which shows all forum activity:
This looks a bit more compelling than the forum page, but it would be nice if it could have things like reply buttons or ‘Go to forum’ to make it more obvious how people can get in the conversations.

Just looking for suggestions really. Thanks. 🙂

When I bring up the forum page on my site, I get:

bbPress was detected.
Looks like your running a supported plugin but your not using our integrations whatsit.
Get it from the store now! → This link doesn’t work!

What do I do now?
