ok, so this should take them out

add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_mail_message' , 'rew_strip_nbsp', 40 , 1 );
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message' , 'rew_strip_nbsp', 40 , 1  );

function rew_strip_nbsp ($message) {
$message = str_replace (' ' , '', $message ) ;
return ($message) ;
}

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

ok, not sure how to help further, maybe try

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

Then come back

try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

where you can amend what is sent, or indeed switch to plain text

Robin Wright! You are an underrated gem in the WordPress community! You have solved the 404 I had with bbpress and Elementor on the user profiles page for the last week! Thank you so much! This worked.

@ph59 – ah I see, then yes try the code above, if it doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll try and find time to fix it

Hi,
WordPress 6.2.2 running Twenty Twenty-Three theme, BBPress 2.6.9.
Moved the only hidden (pending) topic from a public forum to a private forum, and published it. Topic, and moved replies all look fine in the private forum.
The public forum from whence it was moved still has this:

This forum has NN topics (+1 hidden), NNN replies …

As expected, clicking the +1 hidden doesn’t change the number of topics displayed. Repaired the forum, cleared site cache, no change to the +1 hidden.
If a detail in the move topic process was missed, please advise.
Thanks.

Why does my forum index look like this instead of the neat page I am accustomed to?

[Ronny Kreuzberg]

Hello, i am using this code Part to show latest Topics in certain Forums. It is giving the correct Topic ids but wont show them except of original Language even if i opened it in a different language first.

<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’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);

if (bbp_has_topics($args3)) :

bbp_get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘topics’);

else :

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

endif;?>

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.

[StudentFilmmakers]

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
