no, this is the bbress support forum 🙂
I help out here, occasionally the authors pitch in but rarely.
But without a site, it is hard to say what your problem is, there are 300,000 installations of bbpress, so if the default didn’t show it would be a well known problem.
Clearly something on your site is preventing the display, but at the moment you are asking me to tell you what is wrong with your automobile by posting a picture of the engine 🙂
@ricsca2 I’ve just released version 1.8.9 which has the ability to decide between posts, pages or both.
and if you click the ‘apply settings to existing posts’, this only does posts
ok, not sure I can help further
let me look at how that works and come back
Can you contact me via my website
Contact me
hmm… 300,000 sites use bbpress and I’ve not seen profiles being restricted by password on any site running a default theme and bbpress.
are you using
bbPress Genesis Extend
‘If it is set to perfection more and more users will use it and the plugin will be active.’
I agree, but this is free software that I write in my spare time, I get no income for doing this, and have limited time to write code 🙂
you should find the topic/reply in the dashboard if you have not permanently deleted it.
might be staging site related, but it’s not bbpress doing this.
suggest you contact your hoster to see if they can help
I’d suspect that your theme has had an update then.
As this is a paid theme, I’d suggest you raise it with the theme authors first.
If you want to check you can
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
thanks, if you have not put a shortocde in a page, then don’t worry, I was just eliminating an avenue.
Is this a new site, or has this just started happening?
do you have a link to an example I can see?
just yours, everyone’s, are you using a shortcode on a page?
ok, well unless you can replicate – hard to help 🙂
hmm – if that is all that is in that page, then suggest you just do it without wp-bakery
So I’m presuming that you have tried this for yourself as a participant?
As I say I don’t plan to change how the default works – you can change that for your site, and yes it does not apply retrospectively
‘I also wanted to ask if there is a way to update that field in forum topics when editing in admin.’
yes just edit the topic.
‘leave a comment’ is part of the comment form, and that is disabled when topics for posts shows. You can add that back on dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Strings>Link text
can you define ‘not working’ please
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 6
on ‘Is it useful to have this function also for pages?’ – it might be for some, and I do not plan to change this at the moment.
On the default – I also don’t plan to change this – there are lost of people using the existing default, and to suddenly change this forcing them to change it back is not good practice. You can of course change it yourself for your site
just given screenshots, impossible to help
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Then come back
you’ll find the filter in
bbpress 2.6.6\includes\replies\functions.php
lines 473 and 768
this (untested) should work
add_filter ('bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'change_rows') ;
function change_rows ($args) {
if ($args['context'] == 'reply' ) {
$args['textarea_rows'] = '6' ;
}
return $args ;
}
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
@davidmanch thanks so much for posting this answer – it will certainly help others 🙂 🙂
I always have hated that PHP doesn’t have a simple ‘contains’, so you have to say if the position of some text does not equal false, then it is true so the string contains the text – very silly !
