    support here is fine, it’s free and done by volunteers – it’s the weekend here, so excuse that I choose to spend time with my family.

    You are using a professional package called buddyboss, which hooks to the totally free bbpress.

    If you are stopping, then maybe ask buddyboss how to move away?

    The link you post just shows a list of forums, so no idea what is missing as I don’t know what ‘all the forums’ means – maybe come back with exactly what is missing and I’ll take my grumpy hat off and try to help you on Monday 🙂

    try this

    add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bsp_supports_js' );
    
    function bsp_supports_js() {
    	echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
    }

    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

    try

    dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run any that seem appropriate (you could just run them all)

    create a new page and title it what you want the title to be

    add a shortcode block

    with

    [bbp-forum-index]

    then add this page to your menus

    usual one that is sent by wordpress.

    ok, so I registered on your site and just got one email with username and password, which is what I would expect from wordpress, as far as I know bbpress is not involved in this process.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    and through what are they doing these?

    eg page with shortcode etc.

    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 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 so other options offer the same amount of certainty.

    The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

    But yes, with open software you make your choices….

    you can use

    Private groups

    to create a group for each user, and restrict on that basis

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    this sounds like an issue with your hoster.

    bbpress is a free plugin with no license levels

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    bbp style pack

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

    I can’t remember if it does an email to the user and I am on holiday, so can you check. If it doesn’t let me know and I’ll look to add this.

    All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and I would not count on ANY plugin having a 10 year support timescale, so other options offer the same amount of certainty.

    download this

    Hello Elementor bbPress fix

    and then use this to style and add features

    bbp style pack

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    yep, choose your moderators with care 🙂

    I’m sure it could be logged, but beyond free help.

    I’m away for a couple of weeks, but come back if you’d like me to take a look and see how much work involved

    strangely, no-one has asked this in the ten years I have been moderating!!

    I’ve just taken a look, and changing to spam or unapproving keeps no record

    more a Blocksy theme question than a bbpress one.

    Lots of sidebar plugins eg

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    what theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    which latest releases?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    so in

    dashboard>users>your username

    do you have the keymaster role ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    contact me via

    Contact me

    with a link back to this thread

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Just had another thought

    can you go to

    dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.

    This resets the permalinks.

    Then try the keymaster bug fix again

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, that is strange, and not sure why that would happen.

    The fact that the option to add keymaster back appears should mean that it just goes through ok.

    I think you will need to add it back within the database.

    do you have phpmyadmin access ?
