<section class=”topics”>

<div id=”bbpress-forums” class=”bbpress-wrapper”>

<h3><?php echo __(‘Recent Topics’, ‘WordPress’); ?></h3>

<?php

$topic_parents = array();

foreach ($match_parent_ids as $match_parent_id) {

$match_ids = get_children(array(
‘post_parent’ => $match_parent_id,
‘post_type’ => ‘forum’,
‘fields’ => ‘ids’,
));

foreach ($match_ids as $match_id) {

$topic_ids = get_children(array(
‘post_parent’ => $match_id,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘fields’ =>’ids’,
));

foreach ($topic_ids as $topic_id) {
echo $topic_id;
}

$topic_parents = array_merge($topic_parents, $topic_ids);

}

}

$args3 = array(
‘post__in’ => $topic_parents,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘post_status’ => bbp_get_public_status_id(),
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘orderby’ => ‘freshness’,

);

if (bbp_has_topics($args3)) :

bbp_get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘topics’);

bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ );

endif;?>

try this

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bsp_supports_js' );

function bsp_supports_js() {
	echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}

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

Hello everyone,

Loving BBPress. I was wondering how I can change the name of the page/header of the forums from “Forums” to the title of my choosing?

I run a RPG forum, and want to keep it immersive. 🙂

I could not find anything on the settings, so it makes me wonder if some tinkering is needed somewhere else.

Thank you in advance, and bravo for such a wonderful addition to WordPress.

I am working on getting the site off buddyboss. I think there is something wrong with the forums’ hierarchy. All the group forums are there, but the forums page does not show all the forums. I am working on a staging site at https://wordpress-631920-3100285.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/forum/filmmakers/, and I am trying to track down the solution so that all my forums show up at /forums and not individually or only with groups.

[Robin W]

usual one that is sent by wordpress.

[Robin W]

ok, so I registered on your site and just got one email with username and password, which is what I would expect from wordpress, as far as I know bbpress is not involved in this process.

[tapiohuuhaa]

If the extension works on backend, it is is useless for me. I would need extensions only frontend. I have site for solving crosswords. Honoring other peoples all hints should give as default hided.

I tried to find the button definitions for text editor. My idea is just replace
DEL or CODE with SPOILER. If I would find the source code, maybe I could add some codes. That apparently needs alo finding filter code, which defines, which codes are allowed.

I though also that I could replace some code and related texts and icons of TinyMCE with another code, texts an icons.

So I would not need to add anything. But I didn’t find, where buttons have been defined for the text editor s d TinyMCE.

BTW. I didn’t get frontend texts translated in your GD bbPress Tools. I deleted entire translation, which I made for it because filtering worked better, but filtering works only for texts, which don’t have dynamic texts (%s etc). I get with “My WP Translate” translated “WP Sitemap Page”, so the translation tool works. I have another issue here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translating-into-finnish/. So could you answer there.

I am trying to make notifications work when using the BNFWP (Better Notifications For WP) plugin. Issue is, two notifications are sent out, one from bbPress and one from BNFWP. BNFWP support have said, “is there a hook you can use to disable their (bbPress) notification (without disabling the entire function within WordPress)”. Any ideas?

[markfluk]

UPDATE – I got a reply from BNFWP.. “This is most likely caused by the bbPress plugin as it’s not possible to add 100% compatibility with BNFWP – it’s proven tricky to make it work in the past. You may wish to reach out to bbPress to see if there’s a hook you can use to disable their notification (without disabling the entire function within WordPress) so that BNFW can handle this notification for you.” I will post the question separately but thought it might be useful for anyone here with the same issue.

[edenwheeler]

Yes, bbPress is still a viable solution for creating a forum on a WordPress website. It is designed to integrate smoothly with WordPress and offers features like topic threading and user registration. While there may be other options available, bbPress remains a reliable choice for adding a forum to your WordPress site.

[Robin W]

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 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 so other options offer the same amount of certainty.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But yes, with open software you make your choices….

[Robin W]

you can use

Private groups

to create a group for each user, and restrict on that basis

I would lije to fork the cire code of WordPress concerning editors. I found TinyMCE related fike but I didn’t find where te’he button set if the text editor has been defined. I would fork the front-end side.

Disable the “Forum Root Slug” option in WordPress admin:

Go to “Settings” → “Permalinks” in the WordPress admin area.
Locate the “Forum Root Slug” option and remove its value or set it to an empty field.
Save the changes.
Update the permalink structure:

After removing the “Forum Root Slug” value, click the “Save Changes” button in the “Settings” → “Permalinks” section.
This action refreshes the permalink structure and updates the URLs.
Update rewrite rules (if necessary):

If you experience URL routing issues or encounter 404 errors, you may need to update the rewrite rules.
Go to “Settings” → “Permalinks” again and click the “Save Changes” button.
This step regenerates the rewrite rules and resolves any potential conflicts.
Update links and references:

Check internal links, navigation menus, or any references to the forum pages.
Make sure they are updated to reflect the new URLs without the “/forum” slug.

[Neha wilas]

Here’s a concise list of plugins you can associate with bbPress for registration and login forms:

1.Ultimate Member
2.Profile Builder
3.WPForms
4.RegistrationMagic

These plugins offer alternative options to the default WordPress form and provide customization features for registration and login forms.

Hi
It is easy to customize backend buttons with the pugin “Post Editor Buttons Fork”, but it does work only in the backend. How I could add and remove buttons in front-end. I would like to add at least [SPOILER][/SPOILER] tag and i would lke to use [CODE][/CODE] insteaf of the default code button.

Where is the code, which defines editor? Could I hardcode changes, which I want?

Controlling the graphic editor TinyMCE Advanced might be more difficult. Is the alternatives for TinyMCE andvanced in the front-end. I would be nice to get.

I have a temporary solution by using an additional menu. See https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/forums/topic/uusia-ominaisuuksia/?view=all#post-28829

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

I can’t remember if it does an email to the user and I am on holiday, so can you check. If it doesn’t let me know and I’ll look to add this.

[Monmale]

When I add a new topic to my forum the cache does not clear when forum or topic updated. It looks like bbPress is not sending the API Call for WordPress to clear cache after a Topic has been updated.

Any advice?

download this

and then use this to style and add features

[Terence Pek]

Same here. I’m building a forum on bbPress myself too, so I’m looking forward to seeing future dev work. The official WordPress site is still using bbPress though, and they are still updating the supported WordPress version on the bbPress plugin, so I think the plugin should still be fine.

[sourfew]

I’am still having problem with slow post for new topics and it’s even worse now.
About 20 sec to post a new topic. Reply around 1 sec which is fine.

But, the actual post takes around 1 sec but something is happening in the background that takes another 20 sec before the page load is done. I can verify this by opening another browser window to see the new topic.

All plugins disabled except bbpress.

[sabine99uber]

Hello, I am planning to create a new forum with bbPress but because there haven’t been updates for 2 years and I am planning to maintain that website for 10 years or so I ask myself if it even still makes sense to use bbPress with a new website?

It works for me but, what about php 8.2?
What about security updates?
What about WordPress compatibility.

Is bbPress going to die or practically already dead?
Does anyone know something about it.

I know it works now but what about in a year, when I have to update my php or stuff like that?

No updates for 1 year+ normally is a really red flag for a plugin…

[loftus49]

When a user attempts to “Register” on https://loftusweb.com they get errors saying “The username you entered is incorrect” and “The email you entered is incorrect”.

This happens for a new user. If you want to try it, go to the above link then click the “Registration and Discussion” link upper left. Then try to register “Join Us”.

I don’t know where the error is coming from nor how to fix it.

WordPress Version 6.2.2
bbPress Version 2.6.9
bbstyle pack Version 5.6.0

[tronn]

which latest releases?

I’ve tried both from here https://bbpress.org/download/

In the meantime I have switched from Elementor to Avada (largest WP template), same issue. The index is fine but viewing a forum or topic the root dir setup is gone, i.e. forum stretches the entire content area and no sidebar or containers.

Since the bbPress install was 9 years ago also used the tools to reset everything.

The problem appears to be that bbPress (or the latest WordPress 6.2.2) is not considering the root dir setup.
