pretty much – if you want to not show user profiles, then use
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
where you can set profiles not to display
untested, but this should work
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name' , 'rew_reply_change_to_first_name', 10 , 2 ) ;
function rew_reply_change_to_first_name ($author_name, $reply_id) {
// Get the author ID
$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
$user = get_userdata($author_id);
$first_name = $user->user_firstname;
return $first_name ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_display_name' , 'rew_topic_change_to_first_name', 10 , 2 ) ;
function rew_topic_change_to_first_name ($author_name, $topic_id) {
// Get the author ID
$author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
$user = get_userdata($author_id);
$first_name = $user->user_firstname;
return $first_name ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use

bbpress just uses wordpress registration.
I suspect that emails from your site may be being seen as spam.

If you have allowed the serach, then it should appear in your main forum list.
If it is not, 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

you need to be a keymaster to see forums in the dashboard – check your settings
dashboard>users
If you are not, then you need to get a keymaster to set you up.
If you are a keymaster it could be a theme or plugin issue

are you using reply threading?
thanks – much appreciated
great – thanks for the update – hope all goes ok from now on 🙂

If your using the ‘hello’ theme try this
Hello theme Elementor bbPress template fix
or maybe
bbPress
\includes\replies\template.php
line 127
function bbp_has_replies
but be aware -lots of plugins filter this.

do you have a link to an example?
hmmm…are you using any other bbpress related plugins?
you will probably need to look at the posts in phpmyadmin, the ‘menu_order’ parameter determines what order replies are shown in, you might need to manually edit to correct
so are you using an seo plugin ?
I thought that replies matched the number of topics – is this not the case, or do you want a different no. of replies to a page than topics?
best I can suggest is :
