    I cannot immediately replicate this.

    what exactly are you doing at step 2?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    you just create 2 groups, group 1 – moderators and group 2 – everyone else (called whatever you want)

    you then assign all your moderators to group 1 manually and since everyone else will be subscribers, you use the ‘assign groups to roles’ to assign them to group 2

    you turn on topic permissions and the in dashboard>settings>forums>each forum you set up the forum for topic permissions as you wish

    1. If you only want replies to be posted by moderators then use topic permissions in

    Private groups

    2. to achieve moderation use

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

    sorry, that is like showing me a picture of your car engine and asking me what is wrong with it 🙂

    I would need a link to a live example to comment further

    spectra one is a block theme.

    This is 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

    In reply to: Subscribe to Forum

    so if you install the ‘check and log email’ plugin and set up logging, you can see if they are being sent

    Check & Log Email

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I’ve done a bit more investigation

    It looks like this code is only used if you have passwords that are not to the WordPress encryption, which would usually be after you have done an conversion to bbpress from a previous forum.

    Is this the case?

    @robin-w

    I’d suspect that you tried posting more links than you have set as permitted.

    go to

    dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation and check for the settings that apply to your site

    You should also consider installing as well :

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

    which will let you control moderation better, and the plugin has lots of other useful settings

    I cannot replicate this problem

    In reply to: Custom CSS not loading

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Just retested and that still works on my test site.

    I’ve not used sass, so unsure how it might affect that.

    so 2 things I would try first

    Firstly, see if the changes appear on a computer that has never seen that site before – browsers often keep local copies of files and don’t always spot chnages.

    Secondly try a change you have made in the custom css part of your theme and see if that works.

    If you are at the start of styling the forums, you might want to look at

    bbp style pack

    which has an easy interface to making styling changes, along with a ton of features to make your forum look and work better.

    I tried a plugin that achieves the same effect

    which plugin?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, for others reading this, it is an additional plugin

    BP Classic

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    no idea what ‘RPB ‘ is ? link to the plugin please

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

    The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

    From the buddypress author I got

    ‘We’ve built BP Classic for such a case. It’s a BP backwards compatibility Add-on that is restoring the Legacy URL parser. So users can activate it and enjoy current bbPress version with BuddyPress 12.0.0 and they will be safe. ‘

    It is just a deprecation warning – meaning that in some future release of php it will not work. You can safely ignore it.

    If you want to get rid of it, then add

    bbp style pack

    which has an automatic fix for it.

    I have bbpress working fine with 8.2 – what issues have you got?

    @robin-w

    Thanks.

    Whilst I am not a bbpress author, adding fixes for themes which do not work with bbpress would require adding code for 200,000 bbpress users of whom only very small proportion use Hello Elementor, and then supporting this against any changes that Elementor do. There are other themes that also don’t work with bbpress and doing this for all these could add a mountain of work.

    But yes, I’m glad to add the link to this thread to help others

    Hello Elementor bbPress fix

    I will also be adding support for this into my style pack plugin in the new year

    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

    bbp style pack

    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.

    The Wordfence warning is one that is automatically pumped out when a plugin reaches certain parameters. I love Wordfence and use it on all my sites, but these ‘catch all’ warnings can alarm people when they do not need to.

    But with open software you make your choices….
