I have installed BBpress forum and activated the plugin. It’s not showing up in the dashboard menu on the left.
I tried un-installing and re-installing and it did not work.
I also tried deactivating all plugins except for BBpress and it still does not show up in the menu.
I also tried switching twenty one theme and still not showing.
Any ideas? My client’s website needs to be launched and a forum is a huge part of his site.
I’m having problems with the root of the forum board.
I have the forum root slug(s) setup exactly as the installation instructions recommend:
-forum root = forums
-forum prefix is checked
-the root shows “forum index”
-forum single slug = forum
I created a page with the slug forum and the shortcode added to it. When you go to the page, the forums shows exactly as it should. However, let’s say you have the following showing in breadcrumbs:
Home>Forums>Discussion
When you click on “forums” to go back one (e.g. the main page for the forum) it produces a paragraph of content with the forums listed in it. You cannot get back to the main board, unless you click on a link that contains the forum slug (.e. https://mysite.com/forum)
Can anyone help me on what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried different things to see if I could manipulate it, including swapping the root and single slugs, unchecking the prefix, changing what the root shows, etc. I’ve even changed the page slug to forums instead of forum, and it does the same thing. Instead of showing the main forum board, it gives this paragraph summary of topics and forums the board contains.
What purpose do categories serve?
I am sure I am missing something stupid but there is no create new topic button?
I imported a forum from vbulletin to bbpress. The Topis are all important and if I go to “View” from the administration I see them correctly and they also have the right category but if I go to see the forum category no Topics is displayed.
How can I do?
Thank you
In Tools > Forums > Recount replies in each forum
The number of Posts becomes identical to the number of Topis.
The calculation is also done in a few seconds so it confirms that there is something wrong.
Hi there,
There is a setting in “Settings | Discussion”, Whereby you can set the amount of links a forum user can insert in the forum post:
“Hold a comment in the queue if it contains n or more links”.
I had set it to 2. I also have the plugin: “Image Upload for BBPress” installed, to enable users to upload images.
Unfortunately, when a user adds now e.g. 2 or more images, the post gets held for moderation. The same happens if the user enters one image and one hyperlink.
This is not the desired effect.
Can I report this as a bug plz?
kind regards
Daniel
Hi,
Is it possible to disable HTML editor/HTML within forum posts? It is causing a lot of formatting issues for our users and we just need plain text really.
Thanks

Hi, i’ve searched a lot but i didn’t find any answer. On bbpress website i’ve built 2 differnt type of forum, 1 is private and 1 is public. Now i need to deny access only to public forum to a certain wp user role (already set).
I think i have two ways, but how to do them?
1. Turn public forum to a private forum and automatically assign to a every new-subscriber the access to this forum, so i can exclude user assign them a different role.
2. Block the access only to public forum to a certain role (i’ve tried with many plugins as content control or user access registration but it seems that doesn’t work.)
Any suggestions? Even php code to implement for me would be ok. Thanks.
Is there a way I can add an “@username…” to the start of the message when someone is replying?
I have threaded replies enabled and to make it clear to who they are replying to I would like to automatically @ the author.
I know that the user can do this manually themselves but in the case they do not, this would be helpful.
Thanks
