wordpress.com couldn’t resolve my problem and they shorn me over to the bbpress.org website to handle the problem … i want to do a bbPress forum on that website but i can’t get it started and wordpress doesn’t know why we tried a different theme and that didn’t work … i uninstalled all the plugins and that didn’t help … i checked the root directory and made a change to it and broke it and changed it back and got back to square one so i think the root directory is fine … i couldn’t and can’t reset the permalinks because i’m not at that level yet on wordpress … this occurred directly after installation and i created a forum and it went to the white screen when i checked the permalink and then i started a topic and that permalink went to the white screen … i’m just a writer this is already too much code for me to handle

so if anyone knows anything about this let me know …

Hi there,

I’ve only just started using bbpress and still learning how to use it.

Is there a way to restrict a certain user role to one forum only? In other words, they can only view topics and replies in that forum.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve just installed the latest version of bbPress and I’m having a little trouble solving this. I’m running a test site and would like to edit my profile frontend. The only problem is, I can’t see the text to know what I’m typing (the text is white on white background).

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I’m running the latest bbPress with Divi 5 as parent theme and a basic child theme.

My forum root page (/forums/) renders correctly using a Divi Theme Builder layout.
However, the following bbPress routes break the layout:

/forums/search/
/forums/users/username/

They load, but the page structure is incorrect. I get a large white space and weird styling of the logo and menu in sidebar. The forum is for users only but you can see an example here: https://beterbeleggendandebank.nl/forums/search/test/

I tried serveral fixes but nothing seems to work. Does annyone have experience with this or a similar issue and has a solution?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Every day at same time, I can read PHP fatal error, concerned with 2 plugins:

BBPress for a forum with very few articles and comments,

WP-Optimize, for page cache and image compression.

No idea where it comes from. No cron at that time….

Every thing is up to date: WP6.9.1 PHP 8.3.30, all plugins with automatic update.

Thank in advance for helping

Didier

I was trying to display the forum home page with the latest discussions instead of categories, but the button to create a new discussion or the box at the bottom doesn’t appear.
How can I activate it?
Thanks

I wish to disable “Allow topics to have tags” however the tags section remains visible in new posts even though I have this option unchecked. Any guidance on how to resolve?

I have 0 issue with my header, I can add other blocks but whenever I add the forum one my header doubles in size, changes place and doesn’t look the same anymore.
