it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.
Then come back
might well be theme related, does your theme have any bbpress templates in it?
the latest version changed some phrases and they have yet to be added into the translations.
you can use
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations
I suspect a slow site and they are pressing then submit twice but could be something else
It’s unlikely to break, it hooks to bbpress functions that are stable.
you can use these shortcodes in a page
[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.
Since I have no idea why you think css is an issue, then no I don’t have a better idea 🙂
which exact plugin are you using?
since bbpress just uses WordPress registration, then there are a wide variety of registration plugins that will let you add things like recaptcha to prevent bot registration – just google WordPress registration plugins and have a look around eg (just an example)
Simple User Registration
If you allow users to register you will always have nuisance users to deal with – comes with then territory :-). I clear about 6 spam posts on here a day.
great – glad you are fixed
not quite sure why you theme is displaying that.
try this in then custom css part of your theme
.bbpress h5.description {
display: none;
}
but check that it does not hide things elsewhere in bbpress
google – plenty of courses on-line
I will state again that what you are trying to do is pretty pointless.
link to your sites forum page please
you will need
Private groups
and use topic premissions
did you amend loop-replies?
you could use
wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;
to dequeue and then load you own named version
if you are using yoast, then this helps
BBP Improvements for yoast

SEO and bbPress
ok
1. I’m very unclear about how changing css will increase your website security. Css is passed to your browser, so anyone accessing you site has a view to all the css. I’m always willing to learn, but I know of no hack that involves knowing css id’s, or indeed how changing them would prevent a hack if indeed that were possible – as soon as I load your site to my browser I see all css.
2. Changing the css class bbpress would involve rewriting large portions of the plugin, which would make it unsupportibale, and would leave you vulnerable to real hacks that security releases in bbpress would prevent
WordPress creates a unique sequential number for every post, page, custom post type (which bbpress has as forums, topics and replies), every revision of the above, and many other plugins also use this mechanism.
so if a topic is created as 15623 it means there are 15622 pre-existing entries of the above in the database.
replies to topics are associated by another entry in the database giving the post’s ‘parent’
so numbers are entirely irrelevant in the scheme of bbpress.
