bbPress.org

Hello,

after about 3 years of using bbPress without any issues, we have an issue with the index page – the standard one that is specified in settings -> forum is not working. There is just the header and the footer displayed from the theme, no content at all.

When I create a new page using the shortcode

, it is working fine. And all the threads and posts as well, they work fine on the original URLs. So it is really just the index page.

I haven’t done any changes in the forum in the last year or even more.

It is password protected, happy to share the password via a direct message.

Thanks,

Jan

Hi, if someone could assist I would appreciate it.

I have a new bbPress install here: https://classthink.com/forums/forum/microsoft/

I’ve created a new page with the

shortcode here: https://classthink.com/forums/

But when I visit https://classthink.com/forums/ all I get is the Forums Archive.

It’s my — possibly incorrect — understanding that if you create a page with the same address as the forum slug, it should redirect to the page (in this case the forum index) rather than the archive.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hello all,
I have been running BBpress for more than three of years, but started getting feedback that ‘Participants’ could no longer post or reply a month ago.
The user error message gives me no clue as to what’s behind the issue ‘ERROR your reply/post cannot be created’, and there’s nothing in the settings that gives a clue either.

I paid up to get ‘Pro tools’ to contribute something financially to the developer pot, but found no new clues in the tools either.

So this morning I thought I would chance a deactivation of the plugin and reinstall.

The moment I pressed deactivate, I got the message in the title of the post. My entire site is out of action – nothing public except the error message in the title. I can’t access the wp-admin only the FTP, but what to do? My site is out completely.
I believe I am up to date on all WP software (as flagged by the WP admin zone)… and anyway, I cannot offer any other info now.

The source code behind the message says:
Line 1: <div class="error"> <p>This Plugin needs BBpress to work, pls. install it first and activate.</p></div>
Please help. It’s my busy time of the year.

I’d like to change the bbpress word “Forums” to “Support Forums”.

Is this an easily replaceable word?

Hello, sorry first of all I am not a full on developer so forgive any basic questions, I have only just considered using bbpress for a forum I want to setup, I am familiar with WordPress and working with various plugins, can modify basic code etc when I need to, however it’s not my main job. I’ve installed bbpress and am looking at getting a theme to work well with it. Am willing to pay for a pro theme that is simple for users, nothing that special is required.

I just want to ask how hard is it as a fairly competent end user with some technical know how to set up a basic bbpress site, add a fairly functional user friendly theme, and get a forum up and running? It’s not wordpress.org, it might have max 100 users, closed/private forum.

I had assumed like most plugins bbpress would work fairly well “out of the box” and adding a template and maybe a few additional plugins to improve functionality would not be a big deal.

However I’ve just been quoted $2500 by a developer to do the above, to say my jaw hit the floor would be an understatement! Is bbpress THAT hard to implement that I need to pay mega bucks to get something simple up and running with it?? 🙁

PS the only reason I considered paying someone was to get it done in a few days rather than a few weeks as I have my main work to be getting on with as well… Otherwise I’d sit down and work through it step by step usually!

I am looking for a way to not have the login form not show on Forum and Topic pages to un-logged in users.
Note: I have some scripting background but not a lot. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I have a YouTube channel with guitar tutorials. I want to start a forum in my website where followers can share they videos playing the songs to get feedback and tips from others.

My questions are:
Is it possible to share videos within bbPress?
If it is… where are the videos hosted?

Thanks a lot

On my website the

page looks different compared to the demopage and there is nowhere to change this.

https://kennis.energyparty.nl/forums/ here is what it looks like and this )https://preview.themeforest.net/item/helpguru-a-selfservice-knowledge-base-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/8465592?_ga=2.241461826.1982604040.1586206741-1853262959.1578605226) is what i want it to be. How can I change this layout.
Should I change the forums and categories or is it something else.

Good morning,

I kindly ask you how can I put , under user avatar, number of topics a user started and also number of reply a user made

Thanks

Daniele

I raised this before. But it is frustrating me today.

I have a topic with a single reply. I wanted to split the reply into it’s own topic. Then I was going to move the new topic to another forum.

I can start the split process but when I tell it to perform the split I get this error:

“A variable mismatch has been detected.”

I have absolutely no idea what to do to be able to split a topic.
