    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?

    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….

    image doesn’t show – what compatibility plugin are you using?

    In reply to: Abandoned?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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 ?

    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

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, that is neither a bbpress or bbp-style-pack plugin.

    what other bbpress related plugins do you have?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I’d suggest you raise this with PM Pro since you paid for the product.

    You might (or might not) need this

    great – glad to hear

    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.

    you could also look at

    @rvpodcast – sorry google analytics baffles me as well 🙂 🙂

    great – what were you wanting your dev to do?

    you might find this useful if you are not already using it
