    I suppose my first thought would be that if you can’t trust your moderators to be nice to each other, why would you trust them to be nice to the general forums users, so why would you have them as moderators in the first place?

    @robin-w

    probably – maybe set up a test moderator and try

    In reply to: Post-> Topics

    ok, so no easy automatic way to do this., but this method is fairly simple.

    so use the ‘Post Comments as bbPress Topics’ plugin, and create a post using settings that create a topic. Publish the post and that will create the post and a forum topic.

    then you can immediately go back to edit that post, and in the ‘topics for posts’ part of the edit, unclick the ‘Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post.’ This will then show the normal comments box, but the forum topic will remain.

    I presume you are adding the adrotate with a shortcode – yes?

    so for a post, do you want a topic to be created, but post comments to remain in the post?

    so if you look in

    dashboard>replies can you see if his reply is getting posted?

    hmmmm… not sure it would be that, as bbpress is loading ok.

    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

    great – glad you are fixed 🙂

    ok, so you had the hello elementor theme active, although you have now switched to another theme.

    this theme needs this additional plugin to make it work with bbpress

    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)

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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.

    @robin-w

    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.

    @robin-w

    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

    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.
