In reply to: Topic not showing: Conflict with The Events Calendar
thanks, by comparing settings on my working site with yours, I found the culprit
In
Dashboard>events>settings>general you had ‘Include events in main blog loop’ ticked. No idea what this does, but unticking it seems to fix the issue.
If you need it ticked….
I reckon (but not certain) it is something to do with how event calendar is reacting with a WordPress function called WP_Query.
When listing a topic, bbpress sets the 2 custom post types ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ so that it can list the topic first and then fires WP_Query to get the list for the display. I think events calendar is catching that query and filtering for an event required process, the effect of which is to strip the ‘topic’, so only the replies get listed.
You can fix this by using this code
add_filter ('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'rew_true') ; function rew_true () { return true ; }This does alter a bit how the topic page looks. I could build a topic display page to overcome this, but beyond free help I’m afraid.
In reply to: Participant accessing forum archive results in errorthat’s great – thanks
so on my test site, I hid a forum and logged in as a participant, and the index shows fine.
so we need to work out what the difference between your site and my test site is.
so initially let’s eliminate outside factors such as 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
Then come back
The core issue here seems to be that Jetpack (which is mandatory for wordpreess.com sites and available as a plugin for other sites) sets a reply class css with an absolute position.
Setting this to relative and taking out the margins fixes this.
In reply to: How do I make a donation to bbPress?There is no donation link for bbpress that I know of.
In reply to: Topic not showing: Conflict with The Events Calendarok, just tried twenty twentyone php 8.1, wp 6.1.1 with bbpress and the events calendar, and topics show ok on my test site.
(by the way 5 will give blank pages, these are FSE themes and are a pain in the xxxx)

sorry for the delay, too many demands on my time, but I’ve added a new reply button in bbp style pack version 5.1.5 just released
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic/reply display item 25.
In reply to: Participant accessing forum archive results in errorcan you print the exact error you are having.
The one above I remember as fixed
great – thanks for posting back – much appreciated and maybe will help someone else
In reply to: Customizing bbp User Profile Pagesyes private groups is one of mine 🙂 along with bbp style pack and a few others.
contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ and I’ll take a look
I’m not a bbpress developer, just a guy sat in his kitchen who tries to help others.
what theme are you using?
what elementor block are you using to do the forum index?
on 2. previous advice applies
it could be a theme or plugin issue

thanks, looking at this, I’m guessing you have ‘all discussions’ as a forum, and the others as sub forums.
I’d suggest you try either
a) changing ‘all discussions’ from a forum to a category (categories don’t have topics)
dashboard>forums>all forums>select ‘all discussions’ and in top right under ‘forum attributes’ change type from forum to category
b) maybe better make all forums main forums, and maybe just delete the ‘all discussions’ forumwordpress.com is a specific site to host wordpress sites
but you can have wordpress sites on lots of other hosting platforms as well.
but yes bbpress only works with wordpress.
ps uninstalling bbpress won’t help 🙂
ok, this all sounds like wordpress.com stuff (not a problem, but I don’t use this, so have no experience of what it looks like)
Come back if you are not sorted !
I suspect your theme is amending how forums display, as these are not in a grid by default, and the ‘all discussions’ is not what I woudl exoect [bbp-forum-index] to show.
So I’d still need a link to this to see what is being downloaded.
ahh… I think that’s you wordpress.com access.
You need your site user access
so once logged in as administrator to your site, then in your sites dashboard, go to
dashboard>users>all users>edit user
It’s so odd that bbpress wouldn’t let people….
you do need to accept that your site is unique – there is no other WordPress site that is ‘exactly’ the same, you have a combination of php versions, theme, plugins pages, posts and numerous settings that no-one else has.
Therefore, please do not assume that what you are seeing is what everyone sees –
setting wordpress and bbpress roles to both exist is normal, what you are seeing is not.

umm, this is in dashboard>users>all users>edit user?
not sure of the question – can you provide a link to what you are seeing on the forums page, and then say what you don’t want to see
there are wordpress roles – administrator, editor, author etc.
and there are bbpress roles – keymaster, moderator, participant etc.The two exist side by side
Private forums can only be accessed by people with a bbpress role.
The default role given to wordpress users is set up in
dashboard>settings>forums>role
That way you can decide who sees what.
If you have existing users, you can just allocate them the participant role (typically) in dashboard>users>all users> and edit each user.
ok, bbpress just uses wordpress users, so anything that registers wordpress users will create users for the forums.
You probably don’t need the private groups plugin, so deactivate that for the moment.
So set the forum to private.
then decide how you would like your users to register.
a) If you just want anyone to be able to register, then
dashboard>settings>general and tick ‘anyone can register’
You can then create a registration page (Dashboard>pages>add new) and put this shortcode in it
[bbp-register]then add that page to your menu.
b) if you want to ‘vet’ new users, then use a contact form plugin such as ‘contact form 7’ to create a registration form asking whatever questions you want. Set that form to email to whoever, and they then create the user (dashboard>users<add new), and either use wordpress to email the user the password (there is a tick box on the user creation, or copy the password, and send an email to the user yourself.
c) or use one of the many wordpress registration plugins (https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/register/)
The choice is yours 🙂
