    sorry it is free software designed to work under wordporess, so little chance of anyone writing an app let alone for free

    bbpress display well under many many themes on a mobile, the problem is knowing what you think it should look like.

    You could try

    bbp style pack

    which would let you set most of the aspects.

    For some reason my team is no longer getting the auto generated emails when someone has posted in the forum.

    so how were they getting this? through subscriptions or another plugin?

    just install bbpress and follow the installation guide

    this would be theme rather than bbpress related, but even then, I do not know any theme that lets you do this

    This plugin lets you notify roles such as admin on new posts

    @milfuegos – this is free software and the forums rely on volunteers such as myself, who get no payment.

    Responses to questions may or may not happen.

    I cannot say why offhand you youtube does not embed for users – it might be a wordpress admin or bbpress keymaster that allows this, I’d suggest you try combinations of permissions to see if you can work out which permission is preventing.

    you previous questions relate to you wishing features that are not native to bbpress, I might look at these when I get time, but I am away on holiday this week.

    debug is showing buddypress not bbpress – report the problem here

    I think you are using the new 2022 theme, which is a block theme

    Install

    bbp style pack

    once activated, navigate to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if yoi don’t see this, come back.

    In that tab, select

    Enable Theme Support

    and save

    The forums should then display

    most people put the login widget in the sidebar, which then shows the profile.

    alternately you can use this plugin to add it to the menu

    bbp style pack


    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

    ok, can’t say why it was different before, but that is what I would expect to see in those boxes

    ok, not sure I can suggest anything useful as obviously I cannot see your site

    In reply to: Profile missing

    I used to login to the forum and the login box would be replaced by my profile.

    ok, so when did this change, and what have you updated/changed?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I cannot replicate this on my test site – I presume you have this as the statistics widget?

    if so 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

    Then come back

    bbp style pack

    ok, as this is a paid theme, suggest you raise this with their support – if it works with the parent theme, it should with the child theme

    In reply to: blank topic page

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    looks like something in the child theme is affecting.

    Where did you get the child theme from ?

    I’d guess that it is related to your elementor element that contains it – basically bbpress is trying to fit it’s stuff into a box that is not right for it.

    Beyond free help I’m afraid

    ok.

    there are dozens of editors that are add-ons for wordpress, some work well with bbptress custom post types, some not so well.

    Is there a particular issue with using the wp standard editor for this part?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    However, when I try to edit the forum with Elementor

    can you explain what you are wanting to edit?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, so you are correct that topics and replies should be public.

    You don’t say how you detected a brute force, and if these were default or easily guessed usernames etc. The whole idea of a brute force attack is to try loads of usernames in the hope one is correct.

    bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if you were seeing login attempts this might be just a plain brute force on a wordpress site, unrelated to bbpress.

    Identifying users would be unlikely to come from a topic display, given that a private forum does not show public topics either on screen or through rss.

    However bbpress does have a profile page which is publicly displayable, and that might be a route. ie if the profile page of a display name does not 404, then username is valid.

    you can use :

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile

    where you can choose who to display profiles to, and therefore prevent profile pages of your users being identifiable.
