Hello,
bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1
I can disable the mobile header on my forum https://metpsy.com/forums/forum/metpsy-forum/ main page using Astra theme settings on the forum backend page, but topic pages (e.g. https://metpsy.com/forums/topic/welcome/) I’ve got no idea how to do. Is there a bbPress workaround?
Very best,
Ally.
sorry, there are thousands of themes which may or may not work

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 WordPress 6.3 and php 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, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
But with open software you make your choices….
That is a very good question.
I asked myself the same a few months ago, because I am starting a new forum on my website with it at the moment. I hope it is fine, but I would love to hear what a developer would say about that?
I mean it still seems to be the offical solution and works with the newest wordpress and PHP version.
But alone that you haven’t got an answer for weeks makes me a bit nervous…
My website now is really dependent on it…
I used it because it meets my requirements by far the best.
But it had kind of a bad taste because of that.
A new WordPress, PHP version or security vulnerability could break it and on my host I am forced to update PHP regularly.
Normally I am not installing any plugin which haven’t got an update in the last year because normally this is a pretty red flag.
these additional plugins will help

stats in WordPress are notoriously unreliable, I don’t know of a plugin that does this.

Inline Image Upload for BBPress
Hi, I am trying to remove an image upload button that was placed on the TinyMCE reply editor by an image upload plugin. When I uninstalled the plugin the image on the editor has remained and is linkable to a broken page (obviously as the plugin has been removed). The topic on the plugins author page is here but we can’t seem to find a solution. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removed-plugin-but-image-add-icon-still-visible/
“This plugin enables the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor for BBPress forum topics and replies and adds a button to the editor’s “Insert/edit image” dialog that allows forum users to upload images from their computer and insert them inline into their posts.”
Can anyone point me to a way to remove this image upload button or is there a way to edit the layout and options of the editor with a different plugin?
Thanks in advance
Using globally-scoped CSS to style elements and override classes in WordPress, like the garden-variety style.css. It has nothing to do with bbstyle.
Ex.
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbpress-wrapper {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-breadcrumb, .bbp-breadcrumb-home {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 15px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
}
.bbp-header, .bbp-reply-author {
background-color: #F8AA3C !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;

Hello, first of all sorry for my English.
I have a wordpress site under construction with bbpress, budypress and gamipress linked.
I have several questions, so I put them in different topics. Here is this query:
I have an achievement system set up on the website for completing actions, tasks, etc.
Could the achievements achieved by users be seen in the forum, for example under the avatar?
Greetings and thanks for the help.

Would it be possible that when someone writes in the forum, the total number of messages they have written in the forum appears? In other forums I have seen it under the user’s avatar.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

At the time of writing a topic or answer, could the writing bar where the bold, italics, etc. appear, be changed?
I would like it to be like that of many forums where by simply clicking on the chosen button, the action is executed and the labels of said action do not appear.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

No, it’s a WP 6.3.1 site I built specifically to test BBPress. It’s mostly just Elementor and Astra (Pros), the Classic Editor, Simple Custom CSS and JS PRO and BBPress. It’s behavior I haven’t seen with CSS overrides in WordPress before.
As you can see, the class specifies Roboto for the breadcrumb but it’s showing a serif font, even in the sample rollover in Inspector’s Styles window. The class works fine from the parent page but not in /forums/topic/

bbp style pack
will let you style bbpress, and has integration for the Astra theme
I’m confused. Does BBPress get its CSS and template support from the active WordPress theme or are there optional plug-in themes one can install that only apply to styling your BBPress implementation?
I’ve been asked to add forums to an existing Elementor-built site running the Astra Pro theme which apparently has no support for BBPress. Because the web site is already built, approved by the bosses and currently live I can’t change the WordPress theme. But the default styling in BBPress doesn’t work for them either (we have an approved font family, size, color, etc too).
I’m fairly adept with CSS and WordPress but I’d rather use a design by someone who actually knows the software. That, and I’m a bit graphically challenged.
I noticed that there’s a dropdown for “Forum Theme Packages” in Forum settings and was hoping that such BBPress-specific child theme plug-ins exist which allow WordPress to use another parent theme. Do such plug-ins exist and is there a repository of them somewhere on the net?
untested, but this should work
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topics_per_page', 'rew_amend_topics', 10 , 2) ;
function rew_amend_topics ($retval, $default ) {
$forum = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
if ($forum == 123) $retval = 10 ;
if ($forum == 456) $retval = 5 ;
return $retval ;
}
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

I use bbpress in Japanese.
In the bbpress search window, if you search for two or more words with double-byte spaces, no search results will appear.
I tried replacing half-width with full-width, and it worked in the wordpress search window, but not in the bbpress search window.
advice please.
thank you.
function empty_search( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search && ! $query->is_admin ) {
$s = $query->get( 's' );
$s = str_replace(' ',' ', $s );
$query->set( 's', $s );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'empty_search' );
I have a bit of a mystery here, which I *think* involves an interaction between bbPress and BuddyPress. I’m going to put it out here, just in case anyone has any ideas. I have NOT tested this on a clean site with only bbPress and BuddyPress so it’s also possible that there’s some other interaction.
What’s happening is that BuddyPress notifications times look right with the exception of notifications for bbPress forum post/replies. Notifications for forum replies are offset by the site’s offset from UTC. So, for example, if the WordPress Timezone setting is “New York” (which is currently UTC-4) the a forum notification says “4 hours ago” immediately.
Any ideas?
nope – that’s how WordPress themes work!!
with bbpress active, I normally only let users see that profile.
You might want to disable the WordPress admin bar for ordinary users. There are a bunch of plugins that do this.
eg
Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles
Not quite sure why you are asking here if you are paying a designer to create a site like this??
but if you are using an FSE theme, then this plugin is needed
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
If it isn’t an FSE theme, the the plugin will give you several widgets that are used on this site.
no problem.
on no. 3 there is a bbpress profile and a wordpress profile. Other plugins may also add their own profile pages.
If it is not the bbpress profile page you want it to go to, then do come back, I can probably give you some code.
Another thought…Is there any setting in the bbstylepack plugin that could affect,the wordpress user role setting? I have only seen ways of configuring the forum role setting, and the wpform registration plugin has a setting form that maps the Forum Role to the wp dasboardd user settings.
