Private groups
As described this would be very complicated, requiring both single sign on, and data links between two wordpress sites.
I suspect it is doable, but would take many hours work and probably custom code to achieve.
Using a single site, you could have bbpress and use this additional plugin to create private forums for groups whilst having other forums visible by all groups.
This will not fix the sub groups having events and blog posts
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
So first off, when someone makes a post on a thread I an subscribed to, I get and email. Is there a was I can switch this off for the whole site?
Sorry, I’m a bit confused. The only function of subscribing is to get email notifications of posts made to a thread, so if you don’t want emails, don’t subscribe to a thread 🙂
I want everyone to automatically subscribe to a thread that they post in.
Is there a way to do that?

ok, can you remove that code, and install this plugin :
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and you’ll see a tick box
Fix ‘A variable Mismatch has been detected’ click and save
only a keymaster can appoint another keymaster.
If there are NO keymasters then install this plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
and you’ll see the ability to set yourself as keymaster
once done you can deactivate and remove the style pack plugin if you wish, or look at the other features it offers

bbpress has not had a release since November 2021, so what do you mean by ‘has lately’ – if after that, then suspect something else is now making that not work.
You suggested cause (‘I suspect the code doing this is non-standard’) may be correct and something else is now causing this to show or it may not be bbpress causing this. Maybe look at what else has changed – wordpress, php versions, other plugins etc.
Without knowing your set up or indeed your technical ability (although from you post this seems to be good!) I’d also initially suggest the standard fault finding :
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
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date', 'rew_show_time_since' , 10 , 6) ;
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', 'rew_show_time_since' , 10 , 6) ;
function rew_show_time_since ($result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ){
$gmt_s = ! empty( $gmt ) ? 'G' : 'U';
$date = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $reply_id );
$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );
return $result ;
}
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,
I have a WordPress website in the tattoo niche and I’m interested in adding a discussion forum where people can engage in conversations about tattoo artwork. I would like to know if it’s possible to integrate the bbPress forum with my WordPress website on body artwork.
Thank you.
We have ~30 WP sites on a server.
We store plugins in a central directory and slink to them from each website that uses that plugin.
(Reason: saves a lot of memory in OPCache & saves compiling the code more than once.)
This relies on plugins being well-behaved. bbpress used to work but has lately broken.
We are seeing this error:
Loading failed for the <script> with source https://www.otu.asn.au/home/lamp/wordpress/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.min.js?ver=2.6.9
What it should be trying to load:
https://www.otu.asn.au/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.min.js?ver=2.6.9
Obviously the plugin is using the filepath to construct the loading URL, I suspect the code doing this is non-standard, causing the problem.
Temporary solution is to load the plugin into the wp-content directory of the site, rather than using the slink. This has been implemented but means that the plugin won’t update. (We do updates outside of WP using python/SVN, and apache doesn’t have write access to any directories that contain PHP files – more secure). Fortunately we don’t use the plugin on any other sites.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I forgot to mention that I’d already tried to reset the permalinks! But, per your advice, I tried it again, and this time noticed an error message below the bottom of the browser window. Unless you scroll down you don’t see it. So… then I changed the permissions on the WordPress directory, so that it could write the .htaccess file, and it started working.
So, I was right about missing a simple configuration setting, and embarrassed that I didn’t notice it before. Just a permissions problem.
Anyway, normally I’m working on a server where the process running also owns the files. I thought I’d explore bbPress on my laptop, so they don’t match.
thank you
I used a plugin called “bbpress-new-topic-emailer”. This plugin allows email notifications for each forum. This plugin is a useful plugin.
But the sending method is CC. Is there a way to hook this to BCC with WORDPRESS functions.php?
“$headers .= ‘Bcc:” This method is for a single email account. What should I do if there is more than one?
I am waiting for good advice from all of you.
On the forum user’s profile page, the following links don’t work:
- Topics started
- Replies created
- Engagements
- Favorites
- Subscriptions
- Edit
The links all return a WP page that says “Not Found Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”
I’ve tried three WP version (5.9.7, 6.2, 6.2.2), and two versions of bbPress (2.69 and 2.7), and I keep it very simple: just WordPress and the bbPress plugin. I’ve also tried a variety of themes, new ones and older ones. Everything else works fine–it’s just those links on the profile page that don’t.
I suspect that I’m missing a simple configuration setting or something…
Does anyone recognize that symptom and/or know what the fix is?
Thanks!
Breakdance isn’t a theme and it actually disables any theme installed in WordPress. I would have to start from scratch. Thank you anyway.
thanks for the update.
1. Can you confirm that you have run the repair tools in dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
2. can you confirm that making a wordpress post (ie a post or page) is quick
3. can you try editing a bbpress topic on the front end and let me know if that is erqualy slow on saving
are these wordpress roles, bbpress roles, (say membership) plugin roles, or some customs roles you have written?
WordPress v. 6.2.2
BBPress v. 2.6.9
Site (under construction): https://www.batsandblacklace.com
I am able to use the forum index shortcode while I’m editing my forums page and everything looks perfect (first screenshot). On the front end however, it looks completely different and is completely unusable (second screenshot). I have driven myself insane trying to figure this out and I’m coming up completely empty. Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Thanks!

Just an FYI this plugin does NOT work. https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/
Version 1.1.18 with WordPress version 6.2.2. Allows you to click on the image icon, navigate to your image and upload. Just when you think it works…. it doesn’t. Image does NOT appear when viewing the forum. (Even if you have permission rights)
Frustrated.
