    hmmm – that’s one I wrote, great that it works, but if it was working before then an update to theme or a plugin will be the cause, but as that fixes no further investigation needed !

    ok, I think you should try 3 things

    1. reset permalinks – I doubt it is this, but always an easy first thing

    Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them

    2. try and run repair

    Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time

    3. If those 2 fail, the it may well be an update problem, so I’m afraid you’ll need to try this

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    I haven’t used this one for a while, but probably still works

    bbPress Pencil Unread

    or this one

    bbPress – Mark as Read

    I’ve done some more digging…

    Wordpress uses an embed function to do this, which my simple css changes won’t alter

    There are 3 ways to overcome this, as pre this blog

    https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/disable-embeds-wordpress/

    The first is a plugin, but that is an old one.

    I tested

    Disable Embeds

    and this worked fine.

    dashbaoard>topics>all topics

    top right of screen click ‘screen options’

    change ‘number of items per page’ to 999 and you can delete 999 at a time, it will take while to refresh but only 4 times needed to get rid of 3400

    Pascal (@casiepa) has been in touch with the bbpress topics for posts author, and Pascal is taking it over, so expect an updated version soon.

    you have warning triangles next to each, so it doesn’t like something.

    Try typing one rather than copy/paste and see if that makes a difference

    @robin-w

    you will also need to change the fonts as it is currently black, so also add these

    .wp-embed {
    	color: #fff !important;
    }

    and

    .wp-embed-heading a {
    	color: #fff !important;
    }

    Easiest way is to change the display using css. Add these to your theme custom css

    remove logo by

    .wp-embed-footer {
    	display: none !important;
    }

    and change the background via

    .wp-embed {
    	background: #000 !important;
    }

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    you’ll need to explain what exactly you are doing – ie what do you mean by ‘product’ and how are you copying it and pasting it

    see above – big difference between personal data, data used to identify and content – 3 different things.

    what do you mean by ‘NOT showing the topic contents’ – do you mean the topic displays, but the content area is blank, or that the whole topic doesn’t display?

    just tried it using a simulator

    http://mobiletest.me/

    and yes it doesn’t appear.

    suggest you add it to the main menu

    lots of plugins that will do this eg

    Login Logout Register Menu

    not suggesting that this is a substitute for password reset – you need that capability as well.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    great – glad you are fixed

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    can be lots of things

    go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack> and tab ‘not working?’ and follow the guide in there

    @robin-w

    the no follow is added at output, not on saving.

    so we need to see if the topic/reply is written by an admin or editor and then remove the filter that does the no-follow

    This coded is untested, but should work

    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content' , 'follow_topic_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_topic_if_admin ($content, $topic_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_topic_if_admin', $content, $topic_id );
    }
    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content' , 'follow_reply_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_reply_if_admin ($content, $reply_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_reply_if_admin', $content, $reply_id );
    }

    Add this to your functions file.

    Let me know if it works

    however when I went to bbpress styler and that settings, they only have a login and register and no password reset.. and NO profile that I can see

    ‘register’ changes to profile if you are logged in – as you can have a profile if you are not logged in, and you wouldn’t want to register if you are logged in !!

    and from profile you get password reset

    1.404 issue

    The link looks good, suggest you try

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    2.

    I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?

    yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

    3.

    An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies

    beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look

    bbp style pack
