what do you want the contact form to do?
try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and then just click save – this resets the permalinks and sometimes fixes these sort of issue
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

Then come back
whilst old, this plugin still works
bbPress Notifications
mentions is part of buddypress (or another plugin) not part of bbpress.
ok that is not bbpress, so what plugin is doing that ?
how did you add it to the registration form ?
yes, the login is site specific
no problem, glad you are fixed
link to an example on your site please
ok, several ways to go about it, these are in no particular order
a ) as it is a paid theme with presumably support – ask the theme provider – most will say it is out of scope, but occasionally you get lucky.
b) see this link – item 8
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
c) this plugin is old but still works, and lets you try different theme templates to see if they work better
bbPress WP Tweaks
and what is your current theme???
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Then come back
you don’t seem to have bbpress active at the moment
it is showing no topics.
is this a new installation, or did it used to work and now doesn’t?
yes that is doable for bpress forum entries, I will come back on this, but may take me a few days – work is piling up – if I haven’t answered by this time next week, then post a reply to remind me
@tw2021 – thanks so much for letting me know – much appreciated 🙂
sorry, if it were that easy, bbpress would already do it.
Nothing I know of does this, and it is beyond my technical skills
no – a page refresh is required
it’s doable, but beyond free help from me – sorry
looks like you are using the paid vikinger theme – so as that is doing styling stuff, suggest you reach out to their support
ok, this raises a number of questions, but let’s start with
You talk about a sidebar, but I cannot see this in the code sent to the screen. How are you adding the sidebar to your forums page?
I’d suggest that instead of rendering a register form on the sidebar, you have the login widget which has a register link on it, which you can direct to a register page with the register shortcode on it.
