that should not matter, but I suspect you will need to clear cache on either the server or the browser
https://its.uiowa.edu/services/general/how-clear-cache-and-cookies-your-web-browser
and the server will depend on whether you are using a caching plugin.
great – glad you are fixed
if you go to
dashboard>settings>forums>roles you will see what role is assigned automatically
This role is assigned on first login by that user.
I’ve just taken a look, and you are using Oshin.
Try adding this to the additioanl/custom css part of your theme
.bbpress .reply {
position: relative !important ;
top :0px !important;
right : 0px !important;
}
what theme are you using?
I suspect you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
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
ok, I’d suggest you raise with your theme provider next – they say
‘You can always reach out at https://themegrill.com/contact/ if you encounter any issues.’
sorry, I’m just a guy sat at home trying to help others. bbpress is a free product, but with that comes support only from the community.
I don’t do teams/zoom as I don’t have the time – sorry.
Your issue is almost certainly css related.
I would need a link to a live example of both where they are correct and the forum where they are wrong
ok, so now I can see some buttons.
so are these appearing and you don’t want them to?
I need a picture of the buttons please so that I can understand what you are trying to do
what theme are you using?
I suspect that you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack

Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
Not sure how this is related to bbpress, but go to
dashboard>settings>general and there you will see the admin email address, this is where the email will have gone to. that email will detail what the error is
that will be theme dependent.
you may be able to use the function is_bbpress()
function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
$translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );
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
Code Snippets
Dashboard>settings>forums and change the Forum Root Slug
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
I’ve no idea if this thread is relevant or not
bbPress + Elementor
I am tied up in other work at the moment, but I may get back to this soon
thanks,
1. so can you confirm that with the footer option set at
'If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly '
The shortcode in the footer works.
2. on the GCS problem, does this only happen on ‘forum’ pages, or is it throughout the site?
ok, I need to to go back to standard footer to see if this fixes the gce issue as per previous post
So as a further test if you did not have the conflict with gse before, can you select the ‘standard footer’ option in the style pack theme settings and whilst this will give you back the original shortcode problem, does it fix the gse problem, that will get me closer to the problem code !
by the way I have released version 6.1.7, but this is dealing with other issues, so you should see no change
5.
Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support and look for Footer options
