WordPress and Forums from bbPress disappear

[dice2dice]

Forums on my website supplied by the bbPress plugin have ceased to work on my site.
They still exist and can be found but they’re no longer integrated with WordPress pages or with WordPress posts.

I no longer have the option of selecting a bbPress Forum when creating a post, the option has simply disappeared.

I’ve spent over six hours trying to resolve this and I’ve got nowhere.

Has anyone any suggestions for what it could be or things I could try?

The issue happened when I had to disable all plugins because of an issue with the Yoost Google Analytics plugin. When I reactivated my plugins again my forums had disappeared.

Any help greatly appreciated because it is driving me mad.

I recommend asking at https://bbpress.org/forums/ so the bbPress developers and support community can help you with this.

Thanks James, I posted on the bbPress forums first but there has been no response there.

I posted here because I’m getting emails from website members asking if we’re closing down.

I signed up to bbPress because it’s under the auspices of WordPress but I’ve regretted it so many times because it brakes so easily and it’s plugins are sub par.

Unfortunately it’s not easy to move away from and I’ll most likely loose all the forum data there when I do move away.

I accept I certainly didn’t undertake enough research before settling upon bbPress but I just need to get through this crisis before dealing with the long term challenge of migrating from bbPress.

Can you let us know the link, for the sake of continuity? ??

I think most forum software has the ability to import from bbPress. If you do move away, just check with them first.

My website is https://www.whichinvest.com

Unfortunately I cannot get a response from bbPress ‘Support’ for what is an existential threat to my websites continuing success.

I think bbPress is financially under resourced because they do have some fantastic people there who volunteer to support and develop the software. I just wish they would ask the community for some cash to pay for some of that development.
