    All of a sudden I'm getting this topic has been closed. click here to return to the forum messages whenever I try to create a new topic in my bbPress forum. Any ideas why this might be happening?

    There's a number of things you can try to find out what's closing your bbPress topics:

    1. Make sure your forums are not checked to be categories. Categories are forum containers that cannot contain actual posts.
    2. Try posting a topic using the default bbPress theme, Kakumei. If that works, you've narrowed down the issue to a problem with your theme.
    3. Copy over the post-form.php file from your default theme. It's important that the <?php if ( bb_is_tag() || bb_is_front() ) : ?>
      <p id="post-form-forum-container">
      <label for="forum-id"><?php _e('Forum'); ?>
      <?php bb_new_topic_forum_dropdown(); ?>
      </label>
      </p>
      <?php endif; ?>       code is in place.
    4. Make sure you have the bb_head and bb_foot action hooks in your custom template.
    5. Check your database and make sure topic_open is set to true (1), and that your topics have a start time (not zero).
