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

Thanks

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.
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?
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.
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.
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 🙂 🙂
On wordpress.org bbpress has various updates to this that we can download such as the gutemberg modules
thanks
search should just look at the forums, but other elements such as themes or other plugins can change that.
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
the appearance>widgets that you showed are not widgets but sidebars that contain widgets – there is no bbpress sidebar.
Hi,
This is the example that when a specific keyword is searched for in the bbpress search form, it searches across all pages on the site.

and I cannot find the bbpress widget on Appearance -> Widgets

FYI I am using a freeio theme (https://themeforest.net/item/freeio-freelance-marketplace-wordpress-theme/42045416)
Plese check them and let me know how to solve them.
Thank you
SUBJECT: Website Issue: http://www.martiniformazione.it/sito; WordPress Version 6.3.1 – BBpress Version: 2.6.9. When users register and generate their password, they are unable to log in afterward. They consistently receive an error message stating that the password is incorrect. Even when following the password reset procedure and receiving the link to generate a new password, after creating a new password and attempting to log in, they still encounter the same error message that the password is incorrect. However, if I, as the site administrator, go to the ‘Users’ section and select ‘Generate New Password,’ the password generated in this way works and allows access. Where do you think the problem lies? Thank you very much for all the invaluable support you can provide as soon as possibl
I’ve found this easaly “header-subnav.php”
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-subnav.php
<?php if ( !is_front_page() ) : ?>
<div id="subnav"><div id="subnav-inner">
<ul id="nav-secondary" class="menu">
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && function_exists( 'bbp_forums_url' ) ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php bbp_forums_url( '/new-topic' ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Create New Topic', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<ul id="nav-user" class="menu">
<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo wp_login_url(); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo wp_registration_url(); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Register', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
<?php elseif ( function_exists( 'bbp_favorites_permalink' ) ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php bbp_favorites_permalink( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Favorites', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php bbp_subscriptions_permalink( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Subscriptions', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div></div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<?php endif;
ok that is not a tweaked WordPress toolbar, just a ‘look alike’
the code would be somewhere in here
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base
But it would take ages to find it, so sorry not sure I can help
There doesn’t seem to be a “move topic” option in bbpress for an admin to use when a member posts in a wrong forum category.
I did find a plug but it is very old and unsupported: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/
Surely this is a “must have” for forum administration?
Is there a reason why bbpress doesn’t come with this in the core?
Is there a way to implement it somehow?
The tweaked default WordPress toolbar.
if you mean the stuff on the left of this, then
install
bbp style pack
If you then go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets
you will see additional widgets for the forum and topic info
if you can create a sidebar, you can add the forum info and topic info widgets there
Not exactly the left, but part way there !!
public forums are visible to both logged in users and visitors
Private forums are only visible to logged in users.
If you want to have a more sub groups then add this further plugin
Private groups
you could also add the
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
which will give you some further instructions
It does make sense that it would be related to a recent update…but if the problem persists when everything is disabled and I’m using a default WordPress theme, then how could something else still be affecting it?
There is always a reason, computers don’t start doing things differently for no reason, the problem is tracking that down 🙂 🙂
If this was a bbpress issue then 1. given no update in bbpress there is no change to affect your site so no reason for it to start happening and 2. this support forum would have hundreds of topics on the subject posted in the last few days.
My test forum continues to work fine.
so if not plugin update or theme change then a setting could be affecting.
so I’d suggest you switch debug on and see if that is showing any issues
https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/
after that we’re onto software higher up.
so what PHP version are you running?
Thanks so much for your kindness in being willing to volunteer and help support plugin users! That’s awesome.

as I said bbpress simply uses WordPress registration, so any wordpress/membership registration will work. Bbpress simply hooks to that registration in the background.
bbpress simply uses the wordpress registration and login, so users can register with the wordpress registration
Thank you so much for your quick reply!
I have tried disabling all plugins except bbpress, and switching to a default WordPress theme. Unfortunately, even in this state, the messages are still not appearing.
What is my next move?
Hi
We have a website that uses this plugin, but it’s not quite right.
We are using the bpress shortcode on the register page, but it forces it to only allow email, and that sends out the pass.
How do we enable it to show the Password field too? OR is there a way to use the WordPress Reg form, that uses the Password too?
Simon
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
I suspect your theme is a block or FSE theme
try adding this plugin
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
