Ok, it seems that in BBPress my register page does not allow for you to specify the nickname:
Register
My BBPress Edit profile page allows you to edit your nickname though.
I see No where in general to specify what to display, apart from editing my profile in WordPress backend.
That said, I realise my username is displayed here as it is the @ text.
I am reluctant to show usernames you see. According to my security logs I have so many attempts to hack into my site my username.
mail is one of the hardest things to debug in WordPress – there are so many factors that might be affecting.
this plugin works successfully on my sites
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms
One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.
Private forums should provide what you want.
If items are going into moderation :
1. what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
2. are you putting links into threads – this is allowed, but try one with just text.
on profiles add
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
Hi there,
sorry if this is the wrong subforum. We are creating a forum for our members which are already registered on our WordPress site. And I’m currently testing the forum. Now I have the following problem.
Two things are very important:
1) the members/users should be able to create threads and write answers in threads without confirmation from the moderator
2) the forum may not be seen public
What is the solution for this? When I put everything in private mode the threads (opened by my test account) need confirmation from the moderator to open.
And when I put everything in public mode, other users (who are not registered with us) are able to see the forum when they know the URL. They are not able to create new threads or answer but they can see everything. It should, however, be private.
Also another thing: is there a way to deactivate the option to read the profiles of users? We want to keep privacy as high as possible so this would be of great help.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I tried to create a small community forum on our webpage, however I am facing some issues.
I am running WordPress 5.4 and installed the most current version of bbpress through the plugins section, activated it network wide, created a forum, creted a post, all working well.
Then I thought I need a way for the users to register and after some googling, I found out that I have to create a page that contains the [bbp-register], which I did. When I visit that page it shows the registration form. I enter a username and Email and when I submit, the site refreshes to wp-signup.php which shows another registration form asking for the same information. When I enter the data there again, registration is working, but that is not how it is supposed to be, right?
Kind regards,
Thomas
Hello!
I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?
Thanks,
Katie
yes, the function seems to look up the reply position and if it exists, does not change it
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_position' , 'rew_redo_reply_position', 10 , 3 ) ;
function rew_redo_reply_position ($reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id) {
// Get required data
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
// Get topic ID
$topic_id = ! empty( $topic_id )
? bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id )
: bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );
// Post is not the topic
if ( $reply_id !== $topic_id ) {
$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, $topic_id );
// Update the reply position in the posts table so we'll never have
// to hit the DB again.
if ( ! empty( $reply_position ) ) {
bbp_update_reply_position( $reply_id, $reply_position );
}
// Topic's position is always 0
} else {
$reply_position = 0;
}
// Bump the position by one if the topic is included in the reply loop
if ( ! bbp_show_lead_topic() ) {
$reply_position++;
}
// Filter & return
return (int) apply_filters( 'rew_redo_reply_position', $reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id );
}
and come back with whether that fixes, it may not retro fix, so you may need to delete another reply to get it to work.

Hey. The shortcut [bbp-single-forum id = $ forum_id] has stopped working on my web page. When a parent forum should be displayed with sub-forums, nothing is displayed. When I upload ids of sub-forums, the topics embedded in them are visible.
For exemple: parent id=1, sub id=2:
[bbp-single-forum id = 1] – nothing displays, no sub-forums visible
[bbp-single-forum id = 2] – topics are displayed
After entering [bbp-forum-index], nothing is displayed either.
What’s going on?
Info: bbPress 2.6.4, Jannah Theme
Plugins with bbPress: bbp profile information, bbp style pack, bbP topic count, GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress.
I am trying to move a forum from one site to a new one. I went to Tools > Export on the old site and exported “forums”, “topics” and “replies”. Then I went to the new site and went to Tools > Import > WordPress and imported each. I am seeing all the data in the admin as far as I can tell but when I try and view it on the front end it is not showing any replies within the topics. The listing page of topics is correctly showing how many replies there should be, but none appear.
I then tried going to Tools > Forum and repairing each item separately and after I did that It was only showing each topic on the frontend as not having any replies.
However, if I do the import without doing the repair and then go to the reply I’m expecting to see and “save” it… I now see that reply under the proper topic on the frontend.
Thoughts?
this
Function reference
suggests
pll_register_string($name, $string, $group, $multiline);
‘$name’ => (required) name provided for sorting convenience (ex: ‘myplugin’)
‘$string’ => (required) the string to translate
‘$group’ => (optional) the group in which the string is registered, defaults to ‘polylang’
‘$multiline’ => (optional) if set to true, the translation text field will be multiline, defaults to false
so maybe
pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'polylang' );
Here:
Theme My Login
You can install it from there.
Hi, I have WP WordPress 5.4 with bbPress 2.8.3.1 and Polylang Pro 2.7 installed.
All the forums, topics, replies, everything are correctly translated, except the user profile.
I even attempted to manually register the slug but didn’t work.
The code I used to try to register the slug was:
/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
}
}
I tried with _bbp_user_slug and with users as well.
found and fixed.
I’ve put the fix in my style pack plugin version 4.5.0

Hi again, Robin,
I have found the conflict. It is:
“Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)”
Not for me to criticise or condemn anything – I’m just naming it here in case anybody comes up against the same problem.
Best regards,
John
Hi guys,
Quite simply the “favorites” button does not show beside the subscribe button on any topic or forum on my site.
I have deactivated – reactivated bbPress. Tried the Twenty Seventeen Theme. Nothing has worked.
I have the latest WordPress version 5.4
I have bbPress version 2.6.4
My site is https://fashioncollaborate.com but you wont be able to see anything unless you are a subscribed member. I can provide admin credentials privately?
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes I have a wordpress page called forums with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the body.
From there, in my menus, the Forums link is linked to https://ticsandthoughts.com/forums/
Hi Robin,
Those that relate to BBpress are:
Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha
bbP private groups
bbp style pack
bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages
bbPress Messages
bbPress Unread Posts v2
LoginPress – Customizing the WordPress Login
WP User Avatar
I’m sure your next suggestion will be to disable them all, which I am happy to do if necessary, The forum is not publicly visible yet. I was just hopeful the OP may have already found the problem 🙂
Let me know if that’s the direction you would like me to go.
Best regards,
John

do you have a wordpress page called forums?
I’d suggest you download this plugin – it should let you change the settings for forums

Hello,
I am using the latest version of wordpress (5.4) and the most recent version of bbPress (2.6.4)
Website: ticsandthoughts.com
I am using the Responsive theme.
I am extremely new to all of this, so apologies if this is a dumb question. I recently set up a forum through bbPress and am wanting to remove the top text on the page “Archive: Forums”, as well as the text description “bbPress forums”.
Here’s a link to how it looks right now: https://ticsandthoughts.com/forums/
Thanks so much in advance!
Alex
