Hi all

Fairly new to WordPress and the use of plugins (and the complications of interacting with themes) so please bare with me!

I am using the them Accelerate Pro theme, Version 2.5.10 of bbpress on a managed WordPress 4.6.1 site provided through godaddy. I have installed bbpress but I have come across two problems.

Firstly I do not seem to get the bbpress sidebar in widgets after installation? I have been trying to work round this by utilising Widget Logic options and codes (from a community help page) but is there anyway of getting this sidebar on my theme which would be a lot easier!

Secondly (and more importantly!) – the display of the fields on the registration page (I have create using shortcodes) gives the full width for the username and email fields but the rest (First Name (required), Last Name (required), Company/Organisation (required), Confirm Email (required), Password (required), Confirm Password (required) only display across about 1/8th of the page and look horribly bunched up. I suspect this is a problem across bbpress on my site but it is most noticeable here.
The url of the page is:

Register Forum Account

Other pages created are:

Forum

and

Restore Forum Password

I have not done much in the way of setting up forums and topics as I wanted to get it displaying correctly first.

Help! You advice and guidance is most welcomed to ease my frustration!

Kind regard

Ricky

I just set up my new forum for testing and I have found a strange issue with breadcrumbs. I am new to bbpress and could use some guideance.

I am sending people to check out the forum at http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forum-testing

When they click into a post (for example)
http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forums/topic/rondaxe-fire-tower/#post-106747

Then click the forums link in the breadcrumbs, it takes them to

Forums

How can I fix this?

Running:
WP 4.6.1
bbPress 2.5.10
Site:
https://woodardnetwork.com/forums/

I am working in the theme’s “content-search.php” on the back end. On the front end, with returned search topics, the loop displays the post date, post title and the author. Example The link to the author (in the loop) is pointed to this call:
the_author_posts_link()

It makes sense but I’d like to point it to “members” – currently it goes to the wrong url using /author/ instead of /members/

I did search for this problem but couldn’t find a reference for this – sorry if it is in the documentation and I missed it.

Versions:
WP: 4.6.1
bbPress: 2.5.10
https://woodardnetwork.com/forums/

I appoligize if this is common, it seems like an easy question. I’m working on the content-search.php in my theme. When a search result returns the results, the loop displays the date, the title and the author.
Reference: https://woodardnetwork.com/forums/?s=quickbooks

The author is a hyperlink and points to an incorrect location: /author/ instead of /member/ (in the URL). In the code the php is:
<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
Which is wrong – is there a replacement that points to “/member/” ??

Thank you in advance!

First and foremost, let me go ahead and apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.

With the latest major WP update, it seems that my forums have become broken. When viewing a topic or thread, the entire site’s theme isn’t loaded, resulting in a white screen with very minimal content on it. I’ve switched out themes to see if maybe it was just a theme issue, and the results were the same.

Some information about my site:

Forum URL: http://cosplay-central.com/forum/
Wordpress Version: 4.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.10
Current Theme: Esteem

Hello,
there is a problem with bbpress, that prevents SEO Plugins to do there job.

The problem exists only for the forum index page. Also if you use a standard page an paste the

* That page is not handled anymore as a page, so it gets a noindex tag by the SEO plugins.
* It’s also not possible to add a custom title, description or other meta tags.

The bbpress forum index is completely ignoring all of that settings.
The result is a noindex forum index without a reasonable title and description.

Example:
Forum index

Screenshot of the ignored settings:

I talked with the codes a the German WPseo plugin.
They told me, that bbpress is using so crude things for that index and doesn’t use wordpress standards.

I also found here in the forum and on Google, that Yoast and All in one SEO Pack have the same problems with bbpress.

Is there a way to get that fixed?

A forum index with nofollow makes no sense at all.

thanks
Jochen

Hello. I’m getting this error when attempting to update the bbPress plugin on my site:

As suggested here on Stack Overflow, I made sure my file permissions are set properly:

I even tried renaming the bbpress directory to bbpress.old without success. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m not necessarily opposed to reinstalling the plugin, but I want to make sure it’s not going to wipe out any related database records.

How do I integrate the single forum page into my site? The forums index page looks good, after some CSS customization, but I’m having trouble figuring out which file is responsible for the single forum display. This is probably easy to solve, but I’m a total noob at this. I’ve spent the last three hours reviewing the documentation and have gotten nowhere.

I’m not sure this is the correct question to ask, but where do I find a description of what these files do?

If I’m headed down a rabbit hole, please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
