When I type a reply, or a new topic in the forum, and I try typing the “@” symbol, it doesn’t bring up the list of members like it does in BuddyPress. Am I not able to mention specific usernames/members in the forum?
Can’t tag usernames in Forum
Published on December 11th, 2015 by laboundguideactivation link is not working
Published on December 11th, 2015 by dfeenstra75Hello,
I have a problem with bbpress.
a couple of days ago a problem started with making accounts on my site.
When a new user is making an account he receives an e-mail with an activation link in that mail.
When he clicks that mail he is comming on a page with an box where he needs to add an activation code.
But in the mail there is no activation code. only a link like: http://website.nl/activate/79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26/
So looks like the account should be activated direct from that link but this is not working.
Also when i enter the code 79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26 again in the field where is aked for activation code this is not working.
So people can not make new accounts at this moment on my website.
Who can help me solve this?
Kind regards
Daniel

Recent topics widget only in WPML default language
Published on December 10th, 2015 by raphqueI have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch
In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.
What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?
I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3

Oops! That page can’t be found on Sub Forums with WordPress 4.4
Published on December 9th, 2015 by KPDubUpdated to WP 4.4 and sub forums are no longer accessible, getting the Ooops….message
Tried deactivating all plugins, using a default template and still get the same error.
IF I go into dashboard I can actually get to the topics from the backend, but its of no use to my site members
Have asked for my hosting company to reinstall a backup from last 24 hours as my backup failed

Migrating from another platform
Published on December 9th, 2015 by michaelrichardmurphyHi all,
Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide! I am trying to migrate forum data from another platform (I believe it’s a homegrown ASP.net-based forum). I have all the data in spreadsheets/csv files and am trying to put together the SQL statements I need to move it into bbPress.
I put together a small test import (a single post to a single forum) for ‘wp_posts’ that looks like it mostly worked: the imported data is visible under Topics in the WordPress admin but it doesn’t show up when you browse to the Forum it’s assigned to on the front-end.
I noticed that when I create a topic in the traditional way (through the front-end) that it creates several entries in ‘wp_postmeta’ also (like _bbp_topic_id, _bbp_forum_id, _bbp_author_ip, _bbp_last_active_time, etc).
Does anyone know if it’s the absence of post meta for my imported data that’s causing it not to display on the front-end? If so, how much of this info is required?
I have 4300+ posts across 1400+ topics that need to be imported. Some of the post_meta data (like forum and topic id) will be easier for me to cross reference but other data (like reply_count, last_active_time, etc) would be a very manual process to try to include in my import.
Any suggestions or advice on the best way to get this data into my database?
Forum list as phpbb – Design
Published on December 9th, 2015 by NejcLDear all,
I am trying to achive similar look at forum listing as they are on phpbb forums:

I found plugin that add a line at forum tittle which are unread by the user,and they are marked with one blue vertical stripe. But that isn’t what I was looking for. I would be very happy if some one will help my problem.
1.I would like to add an icon beside the name of subforum and the forum name must me like on the picture like just a tittle and look seperated from subforms.
2.Secondly after the 1. point I would like to create a unread/read diffrent icon like if the subform is unread the icon would be green if it is read the icon would be green.
I know the whole point is in style.css but any help or basics steps will be helpfull.
Thanks for any link, code, plugin, style.css, etc.

Post Counts
Published on December 9th, 2015 by Chappers39Hi Guys
I am really new to all of this, I have installed BBpress on my site, I have a forum running and have managed to get some topics and replies etc, I have noticed that the post count is at zero (apart from mine) – is taht because i have not set up for them to register first?
Is there an easy fix to get the count working? If not to actually hide the count?
I have looked on some posts on this but do find them a little confussing, sorry
i am using avada if this makes a difference
many thanks Harrison
