you rock, I’ll test it some more as time goes on, unless you think I’m good? Does this BBPress try to login in any other BBPress pages?
We have not been able to replicate the error so it appears to be only for this one topic, and only these users.
Users have provided us with screenshots showing that the text box to reply and submit button are not present.
This has happened for two separate users on different machines and they have tested other browsers, clear caches and in standard browser modes and incognito / private browsing modes.
A temporary solve was managed by changing their permissions from subscriber (whitelisted) to keymaster and they were able to reply to the thread. However in our testing we haven’t been able to establish the reason why these particular users were not able to reply as all test accounts were able to reply with subscriber (whitelisted) permissions.
We aren’t able to log in and test the end user accounts as they are public sector organisations using SSO.
We have 2 isolated instances of users being unable to reply to a forum topic when their permissions show that replies are enabled.
The topic shows on the users screen but the text box and submit buttons are not displayed.
We have done extensive testing with test accounts and we cannot replicate the issue.
Any suggestions welcom
You keep repeating the issue – I fully understand the issue.
1. I am not paid to do any of this – I try and spend around hour a day helping others as people have helped me over the years, but I have a full time job.
2. I have bbpress and 6 other plugins that I try to help.
3. I receive 30-40 emails a day on many things, and I do not keep old emails.
4. If I had access to your site a. I would have deleted any details b. It is not up to me to get you site working, if I ask you for details I do not expect to have to look them up myself.
so if you are running both my plugin and adding snippets you are very unlikely to get to any solution. Consider my plugin to be blue paint, and you snippet to be red paint. If you run both, the room you want to paint might end up red because that is the only color that got painted, or red because it was pained blue first and then painted red. Only by having one bit of code running do you get a true test.
so to fix your site.
1. do not have any other attempts at solutions
2. use the auto login in my style pack
3. tell me if it works in staging – ie it goes to login and then to the topic
4. tell me if it works in live – – ie it goes to login and then to the topic
5. tell me the settings you have in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>plugin information>subscription emails
copy/paste here or send to me by email
for both live and staging
If you do not understand what this means, the use google to translate or find someone who can understand this.
Ok Robin, it’s quite simple to resume.
– connected subscribers access a new topic or reply by clicking on the link contained in the notification email.
– subscribers who are not logged in are redirected to the login page by clicking on the link in the notification email, but after login are not redirected to the topic.
I’m a bit surprised that you’re asking me how bbp style pack is configured because you’ve had access to the admin of my test site.If you ask information about my configuration I’ll tell you as long as I understand the question.
I’m very grateful to you because, contrary to what you say, you spend time solving other people’s problems.
ok you doing the equivalent of sending me an image of your car engine and expecting me to tell you what the noise it is making is caused by. 🙂 🙂
I would suspect it is theme related, and menus and scroll are theme related.
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hi!
I have just installed bbPress, configured the settings, and created some categories/forums, but when I go to the link where the forum should have been, I only see a blank page.
I have tested with the shortcode, and added that to a blank page. That works, but links to posts and categories open up as blank pages
Hi all,
I’m having white pages issue while I setup a very simple forum on that testing sub-domain:
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/forums/
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/forums/forum/gestion-de-la-copro/
My current configuration
– WordPress: 6.5.2 – multi-site
– PHP/MySQL: 7.4.30 / 5.5.5
– Theme: TwentyTwentyFour Child
– Enabled extensions: bbPress (2.6.9), WordPress Importer (0.8.2)
– Enabled network extensions: Comet Cache (170220), Error Log Monitor (1.7.7), Fixed Widget (6.2.3), Forum_wordpress_fr (4.2), Solid Security Basic (9.3.2), WP-Sweep (1.1.8), WP Dashboard Notes (1.0.11)
I’ve read several topics including that one (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-topic-pages-on-bbpress-while-using-twenty-twenty-two-theme/) I’ve put the code in my functions.php child, but it didn’t get any better. (I removed it)
But, I’m not too good at geek things, so I’ll appreciate any advices, clues if you read that topic, so I can enjoy testing bbPress extension.
Cheers.
I have not seen this before, one potential is that a pending reply is causing the issue, although apart from posting lots of test replies to see if he problem moves to page 2, I’m not sure how you would prove that.
I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.4.x and php 8.2 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
bbp style pack
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
I am guessing that you are being told by Wordfence, which is telling you based on the fact that the plugin has not been updated, rather than any actual security risk.
But with open software you make your choices….
Hello there,
I am using WordPress version 6.5 and bbPress version 2.6.9. This problem has been persisting for us for a while and isn’t an issue with the latest version of WP.
The pagination on our forums is not working. Clicking page 2 on the home page of the forum takes you to the page 2 URL but displays the results from page 1. The same thing happens if you view a topic – it shows only the most recent replies, even when going to page 2, 3, and so on.
Our forums are at https://pharmapreneuracademy.com/groups/the-academy-forum/forum/ but are hidden. Please let us know how we can provide credentials.
What I have tried:
– Checked error logs both in the site back-end and in the console and did not see anything relevant.
– Flushed & disabled the cache
– I disabled all plug-ins and changed the theme to default. This did not fix the issue. This means it isn’t a plug-in/theme conflict.
– Added custom post types to the cache exception rules
– Flushed the permalinks
– Deleted the .htaccess file manually and allowed it to regenerate.
– “Resetting forum slugs to default” in BBpress Forum Tools.
Can you please advise on what the issue might be?
Thanks,
Sky
5.9.O is working too, I can see that on production site… I don’t know why but automatic update keep me 5.8.9 on my test site…
thanks again dear…
Hi again,
oops ! not yet… there is a new warning in admin Dashboard > At a Glance :

HI Robin,
in fact, sorry I didn’t pay enough attention, but when Yousify is not activated the warning is else :
Forums
Warning: Undefined array key “forum_count” in /home/clients/3db470ac3c186374a924a94534df90ab/sites/testXXXX.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line 27
the warning is
Warning: Undefined array key “forum_count” in /home/clients/3db470ac3c186374a924a94534df90ab/sites/test.com/wp-content/plugins/youzify
which says the undefined array key is in the plugin youzify
sorry I cannot help further
Hi,
I need to keep at least one forum with visibility “Public” otherwise, if all forums are “Private” I got a PHP warning instead of forums number :
Warning: Undefined array key “forum_count” in /home/clients/3db470ac3c186374a924a94534df90ab/sites/test.com/wp-content/plugins/youzify/includes/public/templates/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line 33
Forums
Even when Yousify is not activate.
And also, warning doesn’t appears when at least one forum is “Public” but, I need to use extra snippet to get the real numbers of forums otherwise statistics say 1 when there is more…
bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so it is likely that no emails are working.
Use the test in that plugin I sent to see if they are leaving your site
Thanks for joining!
I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out.
Yes, I suspect that there are several places it could be done.
My code above should work (and if you can test it that would be great) , but if you fancy working up a better solution, please post back.
I will happily incorporate it into my bbp-style-pack plugin to save others needing to work out code and/or use child theme functions.
I don’t have any forums on my live sites (anymore), so don’t use akismet, so I’m relying on your better knowledge 🙂
so to save having to repeat bbpress code, the logic might be
add_action ('bbp_new_reply_pre_extras' , 'rew_askimet_check', 100 , 1 ) ; //might need to be run at a high priority to make sure it is last - not tested
function rew_askimet_check ($reply_id) {
//only execute is this is akismet spam
if ( bbp_get_spam_status_id() == get_post_status($reply_id) && !empty (get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_akismet_user_result', true ))) {
//unspam the reply (which takes it back to pending, and within that function runs the update_reply_walker)
bbp_unspam_reply( $reply_id) ;
//and then re-spam it
bbp_spam_reply( $reply_id) ;
}
}
which is actually what I do manually (I click unspam and then click spam on the front end admin) on this site when akismet does this.
in case you are working on this, basically if we hook to
bbp_new_reply_pre_extras
we can then do a check if it has been spammed by askimet and the if so, just do a reply walker update
so something like (totally untested)
add_action ('bbp_new_reply_pre_extras' , 'rew_askimet_check', 100 , 1 ) ; //might need to be run at a high priority to make sure it is last - not tested
function rew_askimet_check ($reply_id) {
//only execute is this is akismet spam
if ( bbp_get_spam_status_id() == get_post_status($reply_id) && [some check that this has been marked by akismet])) {
//just run the reply update walker as this will do a full refresh of all ancestors to the topic if just the reply ID is sent
bbp_update_reply_walker($reply_id) ;
}
}
The akismet check would be something like
if (get_post_meta( $reply_id, 'some akismet metadata', true )
If you can look at the raw data of the email(within email client) and see what is set for the src of the img tag when testing.
Looks like I cannot edit the previous post, the testing found the underlying problem. Users cannot double post. As soon as I post on another account all of the links are working.
How can I change doouble/multi post settings?
ok, not much i can do without seeing it, but it could be a theme or plugin issue

I just got around to testing the above. I copied the code into themes function.php. Under fish caught it still says array instead of the fish species chosen in the dropdown. Also the image still does not show up.
Any other suggestions? the Fish caught I can change it so that the user has to type in the fish species caught. Just much easier for them to choose the dropdown when entering, especially if on the lake when posting.
It is important for the image to show up in the email because that draws much more interest than no image showing up.
