When i get notifications from bbPress that a topic has gotten a reply, the address to the forum page is in pure text and not clickable…is this intended or a bug? How can it be changed to a clickable link?

Hello

I just noticed a problem that i don’t know how old it is. I have not had much activity on my sites forum area, and no replies to any topics, so this problem might be as old as the forum itself.

When i try to make a reply to a topic, the reply get saved in the database, but i get a completely blank page. Even when i check the “page source” it too is completely empty. If i hit reload, another copy of the reply is entered into the database, but still a blank page. However, if i click the browsers address bar and hit enter, then i get the correct page, the updated forum thread. This is true both on my official site CraftersU.com, and its dev site.

I have tried both Chrome and Firefox, same thing. I’ve deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress, same thing. Different themes, same thing. I even deleted and re-installed bbPress without getting rid of this problem…What could possibly be the cause of this?

WordPress 3.8.1
BuddyPress 1.8.1
bbPress 2.5.3

I installed bbpress on my website and while I get the forums on my backend, I do not see any backend menu for the bbp user profiles (all I have is the default WP user profile) – is that how it is suppose to work? Are users suppose to just edit their profiles from the front end only? Also, if I just want to use the default wp profiles for the forum how do I do that? Further, how do I disable links to the user/author profile in the forums? (Sorry if the questions seem to too naive, I am a WP/BBP newbie)

Hi!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.3 and BuddyPress 1.8.1 and loving it, however there’s something I miss.

When I visit a users profile in BuddyPress I can click to show that users started forum threads and his/hers replies in other threads. The replies page only lists the users replies and there’s no link to view the entire discussion. This makes it really difficult for another user to reply in that discussion.

Should this be a core feature to lower the threshold for additional replies in forum threads?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, i’ve installed the BBpress plugin last version 2.5.3 while running latest wordpress 3.8 version, and i had nothing in the dashboard, no tab, nothing related to BBpress.

I’ve deactivated all my plugins and set up basic wordpress theme.
I figured out that once i activate WPML Multilingual CMS, the three tabs related to BBpress : forums, topics and replies disappear from the dashboard…but i can still access to the forums, the pages are still available, because i’ve created it so i could test, the only issue is that if i want to create new category or anything else, i need to deactive my WPML plugin so the BBpress tabs appears again, and then reactivate and so on…

I can’t run my website without the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin because i run a multilingual ecommerce and most of my contents is translated in two languages…

So just wanted to let you know the issue in case it was unknown, and you might know what i can do for it ?

Meanwhile i would have to found another forum plugin 🙁

Thanks in advance and Have a nice day 🙂

EDIT note: Running bbPress 2.5.3 on WordPress 3.8.1
My theme does not support sidebar widgets, so I instead created a page to house my forums. Additionally, I like the idea of being able to add some content above the forum index. I am running everything through a child theme.

EDIT note: The breadcrumbs display in the bottom right of the header, in case it’s not obvious when looking.

As it stands, I’ve added a login box and some content to the page, then used the

Clicking into the first forum, “General Fishing Discussion” (my site is a fly fishing related one), I have no issues. The breadcrumbs can get me perfectly back to the page where the index resides. See here.

Finally, I have created a couple test topics. Once I click on one of those topics, this is where my problem arises. Instead of the breadcrumbs being Forum>General Fishing Discussion>Topic Title, they switch to Home>Topic>Topic Title. Clicking the Topic link takes me to a 404 page. See it here.

I’ve been tinkering with this for days, trying several different solutions from this site that I thought might work. The most recent was a fix suggested about two weeks ago whereby I copy the page.php file from my theme folder and rename it to bbPress.php to force bbPress to use it. I have seen no change. I will note that I tried placing it in the theme-child folder as well as the theme-child\bbPress\default folder. Neither worked.

The other fix I tried that I thought might get me there was one posted here about 4 months ago that offered a replacement code for the loop-forums.php. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I really appreciate any help you guys can offer! I love the look and integration of bbPress, I just can’t have users running into walls after reading a topic and trying to navigate back out to other forums.

Thanks in advance!

I’m finding it very tricky to import my Vanilla forum to bbPress 2.5.3 on WordPress 3.8.1. I was not completely sure about the settings to use for the import, and so have tried every combination I can think of, but to no avail. The conversion still results in:
No users to convert
No passwords to clear
No forums to convert
No forum parents to convert etc etc.
My site is www.wansteadium.com, and my vanilla forum is at /talk.
Any suggestions or links would be much appreciated.

Hi bbpress forum,

How can i do this?

I use bbpress 2.5.3 and wordpress 3.8…

Thanks for help. 🙂

I have searched high and low for this issue, but found no solution at all.

I simply want to put a “My Profile/Edit Profile” button in the menu. Thats it.

I want NO SIDEBAR WIDGETS. A Simple link in the menu.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
