BTW, I’m using this plugin to sort by descending order.

[scratchy101]

I’m having the same issue.
I have the post sort order set to descending and posts per page set to 25.
On multi-page threads (more than 25 posts) the pagination works correctly for most links except the “Last Post” link. When users click on the link under last post column, they are taken to the last page instead of the first page with the newest reply.
Would this plugin resolve this issue?
Or can I edit a PHP file to fix this?

[Robin W]

I appreciate that you are feeling a sense of frustration.
But both WordPress and bbpress are free software, and come with free support offered by volunteers.
In effect you are asking someone to take their free time to help you, and then complaining that it is not at the level you want.
When I asked for a link to your forum page, you were unable to provide this, giving a link to a page that does not exist. As such it is hard to help – a bit like asking for help with your car, but then not allowing me to examine your car.
If you provide a link to the forum, the I may be able to help further, otherwise ethe best I can offer is to read the documentation

Before Posting

[yagirlrenae]

I added blog to site but it keeps taking me to homepage with clicking on topics and categories. Also why is it so difficult to use the forum it suppose to be made for wordpress. Also, why is it that noone can walk me through each step instead of sending information that is not useful for someone who is not good at code?

bbp style pack

has lots of options to style and add features to bbpress

[kudejstari]

Hi, I’ve been seeing that it is generally suggested to use the bbpress importer to get the data from kunena, but in my case it freezes in step 1 and I guess it’s because of the version difference (since bbpress importer has support until kunena3).

I am looking to migrate a kunena forum in joomla to bbpress with wordpress. The kunena version is 6.x. Is there any way to do it?

Wordpress version: 6.3.1
Bbpress version: 2.6.9

[Robin W]

you might do better to just install

bbp style pack

this should let you match or contrast elements as you wish

[sethbburgess]

New to BBPress. WordPress version 6.3.1. Avada theme 7.11.2, BBPress 2.6.9. The default installation of BBpress is picking up colors from my theme which I don’t want. I have followed the instructions in the article https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ like this “The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/” I have created the css directory in the theme root directory and copied the bbpress-rtl.css file to that css directory. I have not yet modified the file. There is no change to the look of BBPress. I even rebooted the server. What am I missing?

[Robin W]

if they want to look at code that already does this, then they can download and crack open the code in

bbp profile information

[yagirlrenae]

I have fololowed all instructions to setup forum and when I click on a titler it sends me straight to my homepage whats is going on? its frustrtaing making me want to ditch wordpress

[ibnat]

Hi, I use GD bbPress Attachments

GD bbPress Attachments is an easy-to-use plugin for WordPress and bbPress for implementing files upload for bbPress Forums topics and replies. You can control file sizes from the main plugin settings panel, or you can change some attachments settings for each forum individually.

Works fine for my forum

[Robin W]

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
As well as bbpress install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

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

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

[Robin W]

if you change them to hidden then you and mods can see

Otherwise

Private groups

[Robin W]

sorry, I’m just a free volunteer, I generally don’t have the time to look at individual problems, and this seems to be specific to your site.

I am suspicious that it might be caching software – can you confirm that neither your site or hoster use this, or if they do as a test disable.

I would also try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help

Then I would do the following

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

[Josh Virkler]

Ok, so beloaw is the most recent response from Cloudways. Can anyone from bbPress possibly provide the info requested so we can properly exclude this from Redis? Thanks!

————————-
These specific errors typically occur due to the buddy boss caching group conflicting with the Redis keys.
It is usually essential to exclude some of the cache groups/plugins to ensure that there are no conflicts due to different ways of handling of cache key which can cause issues with transients.

If any conflicts are observed, the best way to do this is to exclude them as instructed in the guide below:-

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/understanding-ignored-groups-and-how-to-best-apply/

https://objectcache.pro/docs/ignoring-groups

This typically requires a bit of testing due to different caching statuses which can still be utilized to ensure the proper allocation of resources.

We have already implemented a documented fix that was typically applied by Buddy Boss:-
https://github.com/buddyboss/buddyboss-platform/issues/1715

However, despite numerous methods, the issue remains. Due to the circumstance of this issue, it’s imperative to check in with the plugin team before excluding their groups further, they can typically provide proper cache groups which can ensure perfect performance as other caching groups involving BuddyBoss typically was not documented and could have a negative performance impact if excluded without proper evaluation.

Significant Problem:

Every few days, some Sub-Forums stop displaying!  This seems to happen after a new topic is added.  I’m not sure when this problem started.  Currently, the “HIKING” sub-forums do not display.  Sometimes I can get this issue to reset by changing the Sub-Forums Visibility setting to “Public” and then back to “Private”.  I clear browser histories and resave Permalinks.  But this is a temporary solution.  With my limited knowledge, I’ve spent many many hours trying to pinpoint the cause and resolve this.  I now set up a test copy site, that is using the WP 2022 theme with only 2 plugins: a page builder and bbPress.  And there are no bbPress scripts in the Function.php file.  The problem still persists.  Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated!  Testing site: https://staging39.wilmingtontrailclub.org/bbpress-forum-test/

best I can offer is

bbp profile information

[ASR Martins]

Hi there,
Recently I have noticed that all bbPress forum topics are not showing, even though the forum is set to “public”.
All replies show but all topics can only be read in the WP back-end. So nobody can read any topics.
Can somebody please help?
I have deactivated all other plugins and I have used different themes, including twenty-twenty-three, but nothing helped.
I am using WordPress 6.3.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
Website: https://www.asrmartins.com/new-forum-topics/
Thanks
Basie Martins

[Robin W]

so to answer (or not!) your questions

by default the forum page is /forums you can amend this by changing the slug in dashboard>settings>forums or by using a page with a shortcode – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

No idea what ‘ Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API ‘ means so cannot answer, but in terms of customization, then try this additional plugin, which has a ton of customizations in it.

bbp style pack

bbpress just uses the WordPress user account, and there is no way to detach this. But bbpress has a whole set of roles of it’s own, so if you set the user WordPress role to ‘no role for this site’, you pretty much achieve the same thing.

[severalfeet]

Hi all, hope you’re doing well – this isn’t a request for help but more some clarity on some questions I have.

I have a website designed entirely with Oxygen builder. I want to create a new page, something like coolsite.com/forum which would be the homepage for the forum – coolsite.com/otherpage will not be part of the forum and will be considered a different silo.

I’m thinking of making something similar to Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API and was wondering how feasible this is. Does bbPress have that degree of customization?

Also, I’d really like users to be able to sign up for users which aren’t attached to WordPress – is there a way to do that with bbPress? So instead of using WordPress account manager, I can have control of it or another plugin maybe?

[sarkarify]

Hello Guys,

I got the solution of this issue, follow the steps:

1. Backup your whole wordpress account if something goes wrong.
3. Install and/or activate the bbPress plugin again if you have deactivated and/or delete it.
4. In WordPress administration panel, go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums tab.
5. Check the delete imported users and Are you sure you want to do this? checkbox to acknowledge that the removal process cannot be undone.

6. Then click on reset bbpress button

and done the process will remove all the data of the bpress.

[ibnat]

In wordpress new post or page the youtube embed works every time. In bbpress new topic or reply it works sometimes and sometimes not (mostly not)… I am actually starting to think its a browser issue rather than wp, tinymce or bbpress.

[Robin W]

that’s almost certainly the ‘blocks everywhere’ plugin.

I don’t personally like blocks for forums, my logic is that most people (who don’t admin WordPress sites) are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of blocks, and they are far from intuitive to use.

I much prefer the tinyMCE editor in either limited or full form.

But it’s personal preference 🙂 🙂

[Ricsca2]

On wordpress.org bbpress has various updates to this that we can download such as the gutemberg modules
