Hi,
I have just installed bbPress on my existing website but any new topics or replies in these topics cannot be viewed (regardless of whether or not they done at the back or front end).
http://www.nextleveltravelblogging.com/forums/
The exception is if I make the topic sticky, it will show, but then the content and replies inside the topic do not. (I’ve tested this).
Feel free to make a few test topics/replies to see for yourself if need be.
I have tried reading some previous and similar forum posts so I have done the recalculate steps in Tools. I have also deactivated most plugins to no avail.
I have a feeling it will be my theme being the issue, but I am not going to install another theme just to test at this stage because I know I will lose stuff. If I’m going to install a new theme (which I’m not strictly opposed to doing) it will be to one I know works (I have another) and will keep it long term. But I’m looking for the solution that will be the least hassle as I want to get this up and running.
I’m on WP 4.5.2 and the latest bbP.
Thanks.
Luke
This is first attempt at a website (for my dads and friends ‘joke book’)
http://anythinggoeshumour.com/ and I have a problem with the forum,
If anybody can help I would be very grateful.
Users/Members cannot post the words ‘Breast’ or ‘Tit’, when they try to the just got an error message but replace with ‘boob’ and the comment/reply/joke is posted.
Why is this and how can I fix it?
I imagine there are other words that excluded, such as ‘swear words’ but even nice clean cooking and birdwatching forums would be affected by this.
Please help
How can I get the post author’s name to appear in the reply RSS feed?
When someone posts, they (must and do) fill out their name, in the “Your Name” field. (That field has id=”bbp_anonymous_author” name=”bp_anonymous_name”.)
But the post author doesn’t appear in the RSS feed. The author is blank:
<dc:creator></dc:creator>
https://zimfest.org/topic/rides-offered/feed/
How can I get bbPress to recognize that field as the reply author? (It’s not actually anonymous!)
The forum is here:
https://zimfest.org/rideboard/
(The URL will change when this goes public)
What you see so far is just my own testing. This is a new bbPress forum that’s not public yet. I plan to make it public soon, as a way to create a (very basic) ride board.
WordPress 4.4.3; Responsive theme with customized child theme; bbPress 2.5.9; bbP Toolkit plugin (1.0.6); bbPress Moderation plugin (1.8.3).
I’ve created (I believe) a fully moderated forum by using the Moderation plugin. No one is expected (or able) to register on the site, but all posts must be approved (by me) before they appear. (This is how WordPress comments work when moderation is required.) I was surprised to discover that bbPress won’t do this on its own, and getting this behavior with the Moderation plugin is a little convoluted (difficult).
I’m not using bbPress’s subscription system. Instead, we have we manage our a mailing list in MailChimp that sends new posts via RSS to email. This works well for our blog posts and comments, but I need to fix some details in the forum RSS feeds. The blank <creator> RSS field causes my emails to say “by Anonymous”.
(In the RSS feeds, you will see my name as the author of a few posts, because I logged into WordPress before making those posts. But I don’t expect reply authors to log in; they won’t be able to do so.)
Also, how can I remove “Reply To:” from the title in the RSS feed? What line in which file (template?) do I need to modify?
<title><![CDATA[Reply To: Rides Offered]]></title>
First time posting here. Thanks for your help (and I hope I’ve followed protocol).
I posted this yesterday, but it has not appeared on the forum. I’m guessing that’s because it contained 3 links, so needed to be approved. Apparently it was not approved. I have removed one of the links this time (link to a 2nd RSS feed).
I have a child theme created and added the bbpress.css from my main theme’s css folder to the child theme folder. Changes I make to the child theme do not have any effect and firebug shows that the bbpress.css in the main theme’s css folder is the one affecting the website. I can make changes using the custom css area but was trying to make all changes in the child theme. Any thoughts why this may be happening?
Thanks

I enabled the TinyMCE, and use the visual editor, I can copy & paste, but all the code looks only fine in the editor, after submit, it has lots of HTML tags, it did not work, and the image is not copied as well, so it did not work.
Any idea of how to resolve it, thanks.
Hi,
We have a membership site with bbpress. I am trying to keep our members informed of the new questions in our forum. I am using mailchimp in conjunction with bbpress topic feed.
I would like to remove the ‘This topic was last modified by x for the reason y’ line. See this screenshot.
I am not a programmer but can modify code if i find a good template.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? to either some code or a developer?
Thank you!
I just installed bbPress so am new to this. The main forums page at http://brigade.org.c11.previewyoursite.com/forums displays the incorrect sidebar – if you click on one of the forums you can see the correct sidebar, which I applied in the set up of the individual forum page. How can I edit the page http://brigade.org.c11.previewyoursite.com/forums?
Wordpress 4.5.2
bbPress 2.5.9
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi, I have the Whoop theme and its designed to use bbPress but the menu shows ALL categories under one menu in a row. Including sub categories. I want to change it so it only shows the parent categories as currently there are at least 30 items in the menu.
Is the below code what needs to be change and if so can you help me out by doing this? I don’t even want the menus collapsible. Just at link for each main category and thats it.
<div class="whoop-forum-cats-list">
<ul class="whoop-forum-cats-list-inner">
<?php
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$forum_args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 100,
'post_type' => bbp_get_forum_post_type(),
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$forums = query_posts( $forum_args );
foreach ($forums as $forum) {
$link = get_permalink($forum->ID);
if ($forum->ID == $forum_id) {
$class = 'active';
} else {
$class = '';
}
?>
<li>
<a class="<?php echo $class; ?>" href="<?php echo $link; ?>">
<div class="forum-cat-text-wrap">
<?php echo $forum->post_title; ?>
<div class="forum-cat-last-updated">
<?php echo bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum->ID ); ?>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>

In my bbpress forum when i want to reply to a message you get the editor just like on this forum. I hit the link button:
And i am faced with a white popup background and white-ish text which is too hard to read as shown below:
I am unable to find which CSS this is causing so i can change it. I can only find the background of the bit where it says “Insert/edit link” and this is in wp-includes/css/editor.min.css and exact value is #link-modal-title which is set to #fcfcfc.
The part below it, i cannot find.
Can anyone assist me?
Cheers :)!
