In reply to: Subscriptions to topics are deleted
Thanks, I’ve just tested your scenario above, and yes that is a bug.
I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.
Strangely that metabox doesn’t actually let you change the subscribers, it simply lists them, not sure why 🙂
if you are using
then I’ve included a fix for this in version 5.7.8.You can also add comprehensive subscription management functionality for the backend from the ‘subscriptions management’ tab.
Otherwise you could add this code:
add_action ('bbp_subscriptions_metabox' , 'rew_set_hidden_subscribers' ) ; add_action ('bbp_topic_attributes_metabox_save' , 'rew_save_subscriptions', 10 , 2) ; function rew_set_hidden_subscribers ($post) { // Get user IDs $user_ids = bbp_get_subscribers( $post->ID ); $list = implode(",",$user_ids); // Output ?> <input name="rew_topic_subscription" id="rew_topic_subscription" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $list; ?>" /> <?php } function rew_save_subscriptions ( $topic_id, $forum_id ) { // Handle Subscriptions if ( bbp_is_subscriptions_active() && ! empty( $_POST['rew_topic_subscription'] )) { //update_option ($subscriptions) $subscriptions = explode(",", $_POST['rew_topic_subscription']); foreach ($subscriptions as $subscription_id ) { // Check if subscribed and if so do nothing if (bbp_is_user_subscribed( $subscription_id, $topic_id )) continue; else { bbp_add_user_subscription( $subscription_id, $topic_id ); } } } }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
In reply to: Abandoned?To understand that you need to understand that bbpress is a sister project to WordPress.
Wordpress development (and therefore bbpress development) is funded by
1. the commercial arm of wordpress – Automattic
2. Donations and sponsorship from paid plugins and theme organizations who have a commercial interest in ensuring that WordPress continuesAt the moment no-one is sponsoring bbpress development, so no developer is currently being paid to maintain it.
Hence no-one is updating even the tested to value.
You could write to the board of wordpress.org, but beyond that not much we can do – I have tried !
In reply to: Import Woltlap Forum Issuesyou could probably skip this.
Once imported you can run
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums> and run one at a time. One of these recalculates that field, so you do not need to import it.
In reply to: Topics and Forum not showing when clicked ongreat – glad you are fixed
In reply to: Topics and Forum not showing when clicked onThis is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
installonce 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
In reply to: Hosting storage requirement?bbpress stores entries as WordPress posts within the database.
My test site has over 8,000 posts and the whole database takes up 155MB.
It is not something you probably need to worry about – most hosters offer storage in the multiple GB realms.
Plugins, media and themes take file space (rather than database).
If you want to keep an eye on it go to
dashboard>tools>site Health>info>directories and size and you can see what is being used
In reply to: Import Woltlap Forum IssuesI’d suspect that php 8.x is the issue.
New versions of php get more strict in code requirements, and arrays are one that php 8.x got nasty with.
I’d suggest (if you can) changing to php 7.x whilst you do the import – after that you can revert to php 8.x.
In reply to: logo and widget disappear on forum pagesuspect kit is site specific, and probably theme related.
what theme are you using?
In reply to: logo and widget disappear on forum pageso did you try
‘You should add your widgets into Default sidebar area on Appearance => Widgets of your dashboard.’
In reply to: Subscriptions to topics are deletedI am not doubting you, but I cannot replicate, so not much more I can do
In reply to: Subscriptions to topics are deletedok, just tried that, I cannot replicate this on my test site
so I created a topic by ‘fred’ a participant and logged out.
I then logged in as an admin, and subscribed to the topic in the front end
I then went to dashboard>topics>all topics>edit that topic and just clicked update
I was still subscribed to the topicIn reply to: Only allow paid users to create topic and or replyThis plugin does take a while to understand as everyone wants something slightly different.
Bit in essence create a group for your members using dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group names
then in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles set memberpress users to automatically become members of that group
Then in dashboard>settings>topic permissions turn these one
Then for each forum in dashboard>forums>edit forum set the forum to be restricted to the memberpress group and use topic permissions to decide if they can post topics, replies or both and also set what public users can seeIn reply to: Subscriptions to topics are deletedI cannot immediately replicate this.
what exactly are you doing at step 2?
In reply to: Queries regarding functionalitiesyou just create 2 groups, group 1 – moderators and group 2 – everyone else (called whatever you want)
you then assign all your moderators to group 1 manually and since everyone else will be subscribers, you use the ‘assign groups to roles’ to assign them to group 2
you turn on topic permissions and the in dashboard>settings>forums>each forum you set up the forum for topic permissions as you wish
contact me via
In reply to: Queries regarding functionalities1. If you only want replies to be posted by moderators then use topic permissions in
2. to achieve moderation use
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation
sorry, that is like showing me a picture of your car engine and asking me what is wrong with it 🙂
I would need a link to a live example to comment further
no problem, glad you are fixed 🙂
spectra one is a block theme.

In reply to: Subscribe to Forumso if you install the ‘check and log email’ plugin and set up logging, you can see if they are being sent
I’ve done a bit more investigation
It looks like this code is only used if you have passwords that are not to the WordPress encryption, which would usually be after you have done an conversion to bbpress from a previous forum.
Is this the case?
In reply to: Error: Your reply cannot be created at this time.I’d suspect that you tried posting more links than you have set as permitted.
go to
dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation and check for the settings that apply to your site
You should also consider installing as well :
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation
which will let you control moderation better, and the plugin has lots of other useful settings
I cannot replicate this problem
In reply to: Custom CSS not loadingJust retested and that still works on my test site.
I’ve not used sass, so unsure how it might affect that.
so 2 things I would try first
Firstly, see if the changes appear on a computer that has never seen that site before – browsers often keep local copies of files and don’t always spot chnages.
Secondly try a change you have made in the custom css part of your theme and see if that works.
If you are at the start of styling the forums, you might want to look at
which has an easy interface to making styling changes, along with a ton of features to make your forum look and work better.
