I’m having some issues with this plugin. Hopefully someone here can help.
I’ve installed on a local installation, using Instant WordPress.
I’ve read everything on here about this error and it’s all about ports but I do not know how to make a change to a) Instant WordPress or b) bbpress to fix the issue.
My error is ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
Yes. Yes I am.
Can anyone offer some insight? Explain it like I’m 5, because the existing answers do not seem to work for me.
I have the most recent versions of WordPress and bbpress installed. I can create forums and topics with the WordPress dashboard, but not replies. I cannot create forums, topics or replies using the plugin at all.
Thank you!
I know this has been asked before and have searched endlessly through the support threads but I cannot get any of the code supplied to work.
Is there any way to have a minimum topic and minimum reply length. I want to stop users posting short comments especially on replies and restrict them to a minimum of 50 characters.
Hi all,
I created a new WP site with a new bbPress install (all updated), and imported the .xml files for the forums, topics and replies, and successfully mapped them to existing users (also imported).
When I view the forums now, it says something like:
– (blue) This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by ** 6 months, 2 weeks ago.
– (yellow) Oh bother! No topics were found here!
When I create a new topic in the forums, it displays fine.
What do I need to do to get the old topics to display correctly?
Many thanks,
Matt
Hey all. The “Next Page >>” & “<< Previous Page” links do not seem to be working correctly on the Forums page. We should have 2 pages of Forums, but instead have 11 and they all show the same first of the two pages. We are never able to see the second page (the Forums that begin with the letter toward the end of the alphabet: o, p, q, r, s…etc.). Any ideas about what could be causing this?
WordPress 3.7.1
bbPress 2.4.1

How do I fix this problem of the avatar overlapping the name?
Thank You!
I am trying to change the coloring of some things on my forums. I just installed but can’t figure out why it’s so white…

I’m trying to change it to match the background but pop out a bit. Can’t figure out how to change the tan/white.
Please help!
Thank You!
Hello,
i’m working on an alumni network site, and while trying to work with bbpress and buddypress, i got everything figured out just fine. Problem is, after creating new forums (through the group creation page), i can’t delete them, even after deleting the group itself. I only have an option to “show” the forum and not edit/delete it…
I wouldn’t mind keeping it this way, but when showing the index forums page, ALL the forums are appearing there, even those of the deleted groups, which is not good 🙁
Is there a fix for that?
Thank you!
Maya.
I imported a huge forum from PHPBB (Over 1M posts and 100K users). It’s very slow to load and submit posts. Any suggestions on the indexes that should be created? It doesn’t look like the default BBPress indexes are sufficient for forums this size. I thought BBPress would be able to handle it with it’s default structure. Thanks in advance.
Guys, I’ve searched goodness knows how many threads, read the two standard documentation posts and I cannot for the life of me fathom how to activate a simple bbpress theme. Every thread I read tells of others with the same problem or notes that the documentation is out of date.
Has anyone written a concise and easy to follow step my step instruction post on how to install and activate a theme using the current release of bbpress? Or a video? I just can’t figure how I can spend an entire day googling and searching the site for something which virtually every new user would look for within the first phase of bbpress installation and setup? Have a I missed it?
As far as I’m aware I’ve done everything asked for in these two posts:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
yet having followed them to letter as best I could I can’t quite see how the newly installed “blue static” is to be called into play as functions.php is calling for the default theme?
The two posts above seem to get you about 90% there and then fail to explain the last few steps required to actually make everything work. Or it could be I’m going senile very early in life, in which case please for give me but could someone help me anyway? 🙂
Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer.
Hi folks,
newcomer to bbpress, and I appreciate anyone’s time/effort to help resolve my question. I’m trying to write a php script that will display the most recent 3 topic titles/excerpts from the bbpress forum, onto the homepage of my website.
Existing posts I’ve found so far are from several years ago, and so if there’s something that exists already, I would greatly appreciate getting pointed in the right direction.
Thanks again.
