so how long have the forums been active, and when did this start happening?
try
#bbpress-forums p input {
width: 240px !important;
}
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
you will need to open your site to anonymous posting to let me see the form
dashboard>settings>forums>anonymous
you can shut it down again afterwards
what theme are you using?
I suspect your theme is a block or FSE theme
try adding this plugin
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
link to a live example on your site please
ok, not sure I can help further without a link to a live example under your theme.
try
function rew_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_enable_visual_editor' );
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
Code Snippets
suspect something your theme is doing, as works fine on my test site.
try
.bbp-topic-form, .bbp-reply-form, .bbp-topic-tag-form {
width: 80% !important;
}
or
.bbp-topic-form, .bbp-reply-form, .bbp-topic-tag-form {
width: 300px !important;
}
and play with the 80% or 300px – you can’t have both rules – they are just different ways of changing width.
great – glad you are fixed !!
try this in the custom css of your theme
.bbpress div#ast-mobile-header.ast-mobile-header-wrap {
display: none !important;
}
thanks.
1. This is the bbpress support site, you need to raise this with the buddypress support site
https://buddypress.org/support/
2. bbpress (and buddypress) simply use the wordpress login, so the simplest way is to use a plugin to do redirect such as
LoginWP (Formerly Peter's Login Redirect)
1. which titles? – link to an example please
2. what login will you be using in the sidebar?
hmmm… Not entirely sure this will work, but try
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
let me know if this helps or not
the title is put in by your theme.
Suggest you try method 2 in this (item 3) :
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Thanks, but yes that is life !! People move on to other things.
I might get run over by a bus tomorrow 🙁
sorry, there are thousands of themes which may or may not work
Try
Twenty Twenty
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….
these additional plugins will help
1. not 5 stars, but allows voting
bbPress Voting
2.
stats in WordPress are notoriously unreliable, I don’t know of a plugin that does this.
3.
Inline Image Upload for BBPress
if it is the default bbpress one, then add this to your custom css
#mceu_12 {
display: none;
}
otherwise I’d need a link to a live example on your site
ok, so yes you could change the default template for that page in bbpress, but your theme is not using that template, so that is pointless.
You need to amend the template your theme is using, so need to contact the theme support.
