    ok, so can you post the line of code code you are using to call that action please, or confirm that you are not using any reassign field in that call

    Presuming that you want to delete the user and any comments made in wordpress as well, then

    dashboard>users>select the user and press delete

    You will then be given the option to delete all content and the user.

    hidden topics are typically ones that have been marked as spam, so they remain linked to their u, but are not shown to anyone apart from keymasters and moderators.

    This allows a moderator to later decide that they are not spam and unspam them, and make them visible, or if they wish to delete the topic, or just leave it hidden

    Install this additional plugin

    Private groups

    This is a simple plugin in principle, but can take a bit of time to understand.

    So FIRST in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> select the help tab, and take some time to understand how this plugin works !!

    Then…

    1. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘group name settings’ – set group 1 to a name of your choice, say ‘topics only’

    2. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘topic settings’ – click to activate topic settings and save.

    3. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘assign groups to roles’ – tick ‘Add group on first or no-group login’ AND set the role ‘subscriber’ to the group 1 name you set in step 1. If you want other roles to only be able to post topics, set these as well. click save.

    4. go to dashboard>forums and select the forum you want this to apply to and click ‘edit’ You will see a new box called ‘Forum groups’ Click group 1 and them click update on the right hand side.

    5. You will then see topic permissions for this group. select ‘Create/edit topics’

    So then the forum uses group 1 permissions which only allow the creation of topics, and subscriber users are in group 1, so that is all they are able to do.

    You may need to adjust forum visibility in the plugin settings and non logged-in isers depending on how you forum works.

    I suspect you are using a block theme also known as “Full Site Editing” or FSE theme

    This is one of the “block themes” – this is the new way that WordPress plans to develop themes. BBpress authors are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, add this additional plugin

    Enable bbPress for Block Themes

    Come back if this does not work

    @robin-w

    Add this additional plugin

    Private groups

    once activated, go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>help tab and read through how to set this up.

    1. so for instance if you wanted ‘editors‘ to have their own private forum, then in

    2. dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group name settings and set up group 1 with a name ‘say editors-private-forum’. but could be whatever you want.

    3. then in

    dashboard>forums – create a forum, or edit an existing forum, and then under the description you will see a section headed ‘Forum Groups’ – assign this forum to the group you set above

    so this forum is now only accessible to users who have that private group assigned.

    4. then in

    dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles

    set the editors role (or whatever role you want to access the forum that you set up in step 1) to the group.

    and that should set editors to be able to see and access that forum only

    All other forums remain as they were.

    If you are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) and have an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly

    If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:

    1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear

    2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled

    3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.

    Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed

    For your browser – see this helpful article How to clear browser cache

    so how long each day do you see this, and is it a set time?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    some great fault finding carried out there, many thanks for that.

    To start at the end, twenty twenty five is a FSE theme and pending the next release of bbpress you need to add

    wordpress.org/plugins/enable-bbp-block-theme/

    It looks like you have an issue between Highend Theme 1.0.2 and buddypress, which might be difficult to get resolved.

    As highend is a paid theme, I cannot check it out, but I would start by asking them, as you can show it working with a wordpress default theme, but not with highend#

    If this is easily repeatable, I’d suggest (as a test) deactivating wp-optimize and see if it still occurs

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    so you are adding a ‘shortcode’ block and putting the [bbp-forum-index] in there – yes?

    and what theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I suspect you are using a block theme,

    Install

    Enable bbPress for Block Themes

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    thanks 🙂

    @robin-w

    which visual css editor are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, so what theme are you using?

    and which method in

    https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ part 3

    are you using?

    In reply to: Forum Profile

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok so I now have 2 different things

    1. clicking profile goes to the users own profile
    2. clicking profile says sorry you are not logged in

    Without a consistent problem definition it is hard to help, but as stated above, clicking someone’s name should take the user the that person’s profile.

    it could be a theme or plugin issue

    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

    Health Check & Troubleshooting

    Then come back
