great – glad to have helped – have a great xmas
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….
Great – glad you are fixed !!
image doesn’t show – what compatibility plugin are you using?
In share your frustration, but bbpress 2.6.9 works with PHP 8.2.x
If some of your other plugins are not compatible with 8.2 then you probably need to be pushing for those to be compatible, rather than bbpress needing to be compatible with no longer supported and possibly insecure older php versions.
What plugins are causing issues ?
it continues to work fine – no need to panic at the momemnt
I cannot remember what manage subscriptions did, but in style pack subscriptions management tab replaces what bbpress toolkit did with subscriptions
the unread posts tab I believe directly replaces the unread posts plugin
Thanks
I’m not sure that these would be causing false registrations, as bbpress just uses the wordpress registration system.
bbp manage subscriptions has been withdrawn
bbpress toolkit should not be used as it was closed due to a security issue
bbpress unread posts is also no longer maintained
the key features of all 3 are now in
bbp style pack
I have noticed a couple of bbP legacy plug-ins that seem to be inviting attackers,
can you explain what you mean by this?
ok, that is neither a bbpress or bbp-style-pack plugin.
what other bbpress related plugins do you have?
that shortcode is from bbp-style-pack plugin and should read
[bsp-display-topic-index show='5' forum ='10,11,12']
note bsp-display… not bbp-display…
bbp style pack
for details, go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes
I know that quite a few bbpress sites use PM Pro, and I have not seen this as an issue and it doesn’t come up in a search.
I don’t have PM pro, so can’t directly help further.
Given that you have paid for a product which claims to be a bbpress integration product, I would expect support or a refund if it does not work.
I’d suggest you raise this with PM Pro since you paid for the product.
You might (or might not) need this

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so it is that area that needs researching.
WordPress uses login cookies, so if your browser does not have cookies enabled then it would not remember you.
Given that it works on some of your browsers but not others, then it would tend to indicate a browser issue rather than website.

@rvpodcast – sorry google analytics baffles me as well 🙂 🙂
By the way both site and forums look great!
great – what were you wanting your dev to do?
you might find this useful if you are not already using it
bbp style pack
@mike80222 writes a really good response.
bbpress is used on the support site of WordPress itself – ie it is what almost all the themes and plugins have as their support tool, eg
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/
and
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
that last one has 23,000 pages of 30 topics so to say wp is not good for forums and that it would clog your server is maybe not accurate.
bbpress is used on 200,000 wordpress sites, including this one.
All plugins and themes have the potential be be unsecure. Indeed as I write this, the Elementor plugin which is installed on almost 9 million sites has a vulnerability which has just been fixed.
If you really want to secure your site then as Mike says, install the Wordfence plugin, it is really worth it. The free version will gets you lots, but if your site is more commercial and not a say a poetry writing forum, then paying $119 for the professional version is well worth it. You get same day protection from issues found by an army of bug hunters.
great – glad you are fixed
great, I’ll assume you are all fixed unless you come back
sorry, best I can do for free
