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.
so can you create a topic or reply at all ?
ok, so this is below the breadcrumb, and is not the standard forum layout, so what are you using to make the forum display look like this?
the screenshot is blank !
so what are the slug settings in
dashboard>settings>forums
dashboard>settings>forums> and untick Subscriptions – Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics
ok, so the forums list widget shows a list of forums, not sure how you’d want that to be limited – a restricted list of forums would make it look like those were the only one available.
The recent topics list has the ability to limit.
so your code shows
.bbp-breadcrumb, .bbp-breadcrumb-home {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
and your image shows this being the setting, so I am confused as to what is not working?
I am not doubting that you are seeing an issue, this is just me getting to understand the issue.
‘global CSS overrides in BBPress.’ – sorry can you explain what you mean by that?
ok, so can you tell me what specific setting in bbp style pack is not being carried over
you can add a url to the link
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form
at look at item 9
The answer is yes, but not for free, it would involve someone with coding knowledge using a bbpress hook to display.
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic counts
hmmm… in recent replies and recent topics you can set the maximum to show.
which specific widgets are you having problems with?
we’d need a link to a live example on your site please
that should work, do you have other bbppres related plugins that might be reloading this?
bbp style pack
will let you style bbpress, and has integration for the Astra theme
untested, but this should work
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topics_per_page', 'rew_amend_topics', 10 , 2) ;
function rew_amend_topics ($retval, $default ) {
$forum = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
if ($forum == 123) $retval = 10 ;
if ($forum == 456) $retval = 5 ;
return $retval ;
}
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
