    ‘how to quote a post or comment without using any plugin.’

    you could try using a Ouija board, but otherwise you will need code in either theme or plugin.

    You could pay someone to cut some theme code, but of course that won’t be maintained unless you take out some sort of maintenance agreement with the author.

    Adding a plugin will not make any difference in load time that anyone would notice (or indeed most software could time), and if you use caching software nothing measurable at all over theme code.

    has a quotes section

    I think you are using the 2023 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

    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 6.3 and php 8.1 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.

    But with open software you make your choices….

    to see forums you need ‘keymaster’ permission

    so you need to go to

    dashboard>users and see who has this permission, and if needed get them to grant it to you.

    If no-one has ‘keymaster’ then come back

    I think you’d need to raise that with the plugin authors

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ‘specific user group ‘ – do you mean a buddypress group, some membership group or can you clarify.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I think you will need to raise this with learndash, as this is the plugin that is controlling this, and is a paid plugin we do not have access to.

    @robin-w

    so what caching plugins are you using or caching provided by your hoster?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.

    Moving bbpress between sites is surprisingly difficult.

    This is because bbpress is so tightly integrated into WordPress.

    This gives 2 main issues:

    1. Users – bbpress stores topic and reply authors as their WordPress user ID number. So unless the all the bbpress authors users on the source site a) exist on the target site and b) have exactly the same ID numbers on the target site, then imports can have issues.

    2. bbpress users WordPress Custom post types and the WordPress Posts table. This means that bbpress forums, topics and replies are not in a separate table, but integrated into posts and pages table. Many plugins use this method. So on the source site a fourm might have a post ID of say 168, but on the target site post 168 might already exist as say a page. So on import WordPress importer will just allocate it the next ID number in the posts table, lets say 265. Now when topic belonging to the forum 168 on the source site is imported it still thinks it belongs to a forum with a post ID of 168, but this is already allocated to a page, so the topic is not listed as belonging to any known forum. The same applies to topics and replies.

    I’ll post more on this later, but that outlines why it is not working

    um… you don’t seem to understand how Open Software works, who and how much are you paying to get customer service???

    I appreciate that you are feeling a sense of frustration.
    But both WordPress and bbpress are free software, and come with free support offered by volunteers.
    In effect you are asking someone to take their free time to help you, and then complaining that it is not at the level you want.
    When I asked for a link to your forum page, you were unable to provide this, giving a link to a page that does not exist. As such it is hard to help – a bit like asking for help with your car, but then not allowing me to examine your car.
    If you provide a link to the forum, the I may be able to help further, otherwise ethe best I can offer is to read the documentation

    sorry, weekend and other things got in the way, but I have been playing with this.

    Try :

    add_shortcode ('bbp-forum-subscription-link' , 'rew_forum_subscription_link' ) ;
    
    function rew_forum_subscription_link ($atts) {
    	$args = array() ;
    	if (empty ($atts['forum'])) return ;
    	$args['object_id'] = $atts['forum'] ;
    	if (!empty ($atts['subscribe'])) $args['subscribe'] = $atts['subscribe'];
    	if (!empty ($atts['unsubscribe'])) $args['unsubscribe'] = $atts['unsubscribe'];
    	return bbp_get_forum_subscription_link ($args) ;
    }

    and then put this wherever it want it to appear

    [bbp-forum-subscription-link forum="2927" subscribe="Subscribe to Fishing Report" unsubscribe="Unsubscribe to Fishing Report" ]

    with the forum number and whatever wording you want
