bbPress.org

Good evening,
I can’t seem to find the solution, so I’m posting my question here.
In WordPress, I have a bbpress forum. Some old posts (from 2016) are visible to me (Key Master), but no longer to subscribers (private forum). So there seems to be a system that hides these posts after an expiry date (not the first post, but the replies). I can’t find anything in the general settings or in the bbpress plugin. I also have bbP private groups and bbPress Notify (No-Spam). Any idea what the problem might be?

I recently discovered that WordPress.com’s Personal and Premium plans allow plugin installation, so I immediately paid and installed bbPress.

However, a similar forum plugin, WPFORO, works fine, but after installing bbPress, when I go to the actual forum page (myid.wpcomstaging.com/forums/forum/test/), it just displays a blank screen, with neither my blog’s theme nor the forums displayed.

Just in case, I tried disabling my browser’s ad blocker and changing my theme, but the results were the same!

I asked a question on the WordPress.com forums and was directed here. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? What solutions have you found?

Hi,
Google are saying that it is not listing my forum posts because

“Either ‘text’, ‘image’ or ‘video’ should be specified”
Items with this issue are invalid. Invalid items are not eligible for Google Search’s rich results”

How can I sort this.
Google has the topics listed, so its seeing them. I send a sitemap to Google.
It is important that these topics are listed by Google.
I would appreciate any help.

I am using BBpress Version 2.6.14

Thanks

Hi, is there a way to make the forum description text clickable, so it links into the forum (just like the forum title)?

For example, on my site here, there is forum description text “See videos and tutorials on how to get the most our the Community Area…”

Is there a function or theme edit to make this clickable?

Please see error code below.

Anyone from BBPress help me with this?

I would like to speak to the BB press plug originator or expert or troubleshooter
This is a really complex problem.
I would be to offer my email – biged76112@gmail.com

Is there a chance that this plug-in does not show properly until the website is published.
This website does not have an active domain

How can I set the title and meta description for the forums page?
BBpress doesn’t create a page like it does for categories, so I can’t set anything.

Hi, I’m using this code from @stagger-lee to enable ability to create featured images in topics:

Add Featured Image to New Topics in Frontend WYSWYG

When ever I create featured image, they all come out to 400px by 400px. Is there a way to set the featured images to a different size, such as 600px by 400px?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello.
I imported a series of topics in a CSV into a new forum that had 4 forums 2 topics.
The 50 topics showed up on the page section that had

shortcode but not on the one with . I have uninstalled every plugin, no luck. Only the existing 4 forums and 2 topics display.
Quite frustrating – I hope someone reading this helps me. Alternatively, I will sadly remove the shortcode. I get error message [This forum is empty.] whenever I click forum that has the topics.
I use TownPress theme, Advanced Post Block, and bbp style pack if that helps.
Thank you for helping out.

I’m usually ok with using css in my child theme, but struggling with this.

I need to change the background color only of the sticky topics area here:

https://www.lifeleap.org/community/forums/forum/lifeleap-cafe/lifeleap-institute-related/

I have the background color set with this css (even and odd):

#bbpress-forums ul.odd

But I just can’t figure out how to change background color only on the sticky topics.

Thanks for any suggestions.
