BBPress & Spirit – Forums NOT Displaying Live

Hey guys.

I’m having one hell of a time getting BBPress forums to show the actual forums with Spirit OR Scribe.

I can get them to show with 2014, 2015, and DIVI, but no go with any Upfront themes.

Is there some super secret trick to making it work (if it’s compatible at all) that hours of searching haven’t turned up yet?

BBpress is using single.php, and I did try to throw in a generic forum.php in hopes it’d pick that up, but no luck.

I just sprang for the year membership, too, so am really hoping there’s a way to work this.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Abigail,

    Welcome to the WPMU Dev community and thank you for your question.

    I confirmed on your site that the Spirit theme is not working well with bbPress and could also reproduce the same issue on my test site using latest versions of Spirit and bbPress.

    It seems from the following reply posted by our staff that the upfront theme should be compatible with bbPress.

    https://wpmudev.com/forums/topic/buddypress-supported-in-scribe#post-827250

    I have notified directly to the theme developer to know whether there is any issue with the latest versions of upfront themes or bbPress or there is any hidden settings to be configured.

    The developer will reply here ASAP but please keep in mind though that plugin developers have a lot of responsibilities so this might take a bit longer than a normal ticket.

    Thanks,

    Vinod Dalvi

    Hi Abigail,

    We are developing a compatibility layer for BBPress to work with Upfront. It is still in development and would be released in the near future. Until we have it released, it wont be possible to have BBPress render in Upfront.

    Kind Regards

    Have the same issues.

    Paid for 1-year membership and hoped that I could use some of the great plugins WPMU DEV offers.

    So far I’ve been told that your very own Forum plugin, Q&A and bbPress ain’t working but that you are trying to figure it out.

    Could you PLEASE provide an estimate of an solution?

    Why even offer plugin that don’t work with your own themes yet?

    Great support though!
