In reply to: Topics are not displaying
you are using the flexiverse theme.
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
installonce 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
In reply to: Expired Version ?Great
In reply to: Expired Version ?they are correct that it has not been updated for a couple of years.
I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.4.x and php 8.2 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
In reply to: Add required fieldsthey are saved in the database post_meta table against the thread
update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'bbp_extra_field1', $_POST['bbp_extra_field1'] );and you would need to define what you mean by
I don’t know how to move the various fields
In reply to: Users Error (Admin Dashboard Users Menu)I think adding this additional plugin fixes
In reply to: Add required fieldsthis should get you there or thereabouts

In reply to: ShortcodeI will get back to you, but tied up at the moment 🙂
In reply to: Shortcodethat shortcode shows the full list of forums, not topics.
if that is your only forum, and you want to display all the topics of that forum, then use
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]In reply to: Shortcodeok, you’ll need to say more about what you issue is – I just fired up that link, and it seems to be showing a forum and then if I click that it goes to topics and replies etc.
what do you think is wrong?
In reply to: when clicking on a forum/topic a blank screen shows@alexalalalad321 – great – glad you are fixed.
@kagunda – I was responding to alexalalalad321 – you jumped in on this thread, and are assuming you have the same problem. It is generally worth starting a fresh thread – two people with stomachs that hurt do not often have the same illness 🙂 Anyway I would suggest you raise this with oxygen builder as this is a paid theme and I have no access to it.In reply to: when clicking on a forum/topic a blank screen showsThis is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

In reply to: Buddypress new vesion (12.0.1) Not compatibleI am not a bbpress author, not a lot I can do.
bbpress is a WordPress project – suggest you write to Matt Mullenweg about why no-one is currently assigned to bbpress to keep it up to date.
In reply to: Cannot set forum moderatorok, glad you are fixed
In reply to: Buddypress new vesion (12.0.1) Not compatibleadd this plugin
In reply to: Cannot set forum moderatorthe backend seems to only save one moderator.
This code should fix
add_action ('bbp_subscriptions_metabox' , 'rew_set_hidden_subscribers' ) ; add_action ('bbp_topic_attributes_metabox_save' , 'rew_save_subscriptions', 10 , 2) ; function rew_set_hidden_subscribers ($post) { // Get user IDs $user_ids = bbp_get_subscribers( $post->ID ); $list = implode(",",$user_ids); // Output ?> <input name="rew_topic_subscription" id="rew_topic_subscription" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $list; ?>" /> <?php } function rew_save_subscriptions ( $topic_id, $forum_id ) { // Handle Subscriptions if ( bbp_is_subscriptions_active() && ! empty( $_POST['rew_topic_subscription'] )) { //update_option ($subscriptions) $subscriptions = explode(",", $_POST['rew_topic_subscription']); foreach ($subscriptions as $subscription_id ) { // Check if subscribed and if so do nothing if (bbp_is_user_subscribed( $subscription_id, $topic_id )) continue; else { bbp_add_user_subscription( $subscription_id, $topic_id ); } } } }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
or if you use
this fix is automatically added
In reply to: Limit the Forums a Moderator can see in Admin Panelmost people use the front end for moderators, they see their abilities in the admin links
you just set the moderators for each forum on the backend
In reply to: How to stop forum spammersNot a lot – I delete 3-6 posts a day on this forum.
As AI starts to get more popular for spammers, it is getting harder to spot them, many posts now have several sentences seeming to answer the question (though almost always in a generic way) before containing a link to their site to get their backlinks quota’s up.
In reply to: Index redirects to post archive pagethanks, and thanks for posting back your solution
In reply to: Anyone using WPMobile for app creation of forumgreat and thanks for the detailed response 🙂
In reply to: Anyone using WPMobile for app creation of forumthat’s great news – Since you said you were having problems (‘am finding it pretty hard going to be honest’) any recommendations or tips on setting this up?
In reply to: Can A Single Login Control Multiple Fourm ProfilesI don’t know of anything that does this within bbpress.
However bbpress just uses then wordpress login, so anything that does that in wp would work.
This looks like a possible option…
Otherwise you could just allow ‘anonymous posting’ which would let users post under multiple names, but of course could not be limited to paid members.

In reply to: Topics Created via API Aren’t Showinggreat – glad you are fixed 🙂
In reply to: Forum Index Page Titileyes, that sounds about right – try asking rankmath from what field they get the breadcrumb element
