It’s a bug since bbpress version 2.6.8. And it’s not fixed in 2.6.9

if you are seeing emails, I suspect the problem is downstream from your site, and that spam detectors in the various mail providers are seeing emails with lots of bcc’s as spam.

I would first see that emails are being sent by using

Check & Log Email

and setting it up to log emails

You can then see what is being sent.

If emails are going, then you might need to change the ‘from’ email address that bbpress uses to a real one on your domain, or by setting up the ‘noreply@’ email as a real one on your domain, you hoster will help you here if you don’t know how to do that.

Finally you could use this plugin :

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

to send the emails one at a time. Whilst old it still works fine.

I am customizing my bbPress installation and I have encountered an issue where there are two rectangles to the left and under-neath a user’s avatar on a post that appear to be misaligned. When I inspect element they appear to be bbp-reply-author or bbp-author-link, I can’t find where to edit this in css or in the bbpress functions. Does anyone know where I can look to fix this?

My theme is a modified version of Seedlet and I am using the latest bbPress and WordPress versions.

Here is a screen grab highlighting the issue:

Hi, new to BBpress.

I’ve noticed that there aren’t a lot of options regrading the customization of the forum, at least on the front end and you need to install additional plugins if you want to get more functionality or make things simpler to customize.

My question is, are there any plugins that allow me to have features that are commonplace in other forum software, like who is online at the bottom, different icons for new/unread forums/posts.

Essentially, I want to know what plugins are pretty much must haves for BBpress, I already have the BB style pack plugin which has helped immensely, but it’s still not enough. If there’s a tutorial out there to get all of the customization I’m after than I’d highly appreciate the help as well.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and BBpress.
The forum in question: https://sonic-city.net/forum/

Thanks in advance

Sidebar is related to your wordpress theme (template file). Select a full-width theme template file in your forum settings. If you are displaying your forums via shortcode, the shorcode can be placed on full-with pages.

Diana, maybe this link helps you. https://wpengine.com/support/run-query-phpmyadmin/

In bbpress, topics and replies are kept in wp_posts table, so the above SQL statement lists all users with no replies and no topics. The second part of the statement checks the wp_comments table. Since if a user has no replies & topics in the forum but has a wordpress comment, the user will not be listed, and vice versa.

Please first also check your table prefix, the SQL statement is for: wp_

Hi sorry, need to clarify a bit….

bbpress.php does render sidebar for forum/topic pages. However the widgets (eg, forums/topics information) that I initially put on the sidebar no longer be visualized.

For WordPress normal page setting, if I change template from default template (page.php) to Magbook Template (magbook-template.php), the targeted page becomes full width, that is why I thought that magbook-template.php is a full width template. Maybe I am wrong.

Hope this would help.

Twenty Twenty-Three theme is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install

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

Hi there! I’m trying to set up a bbPress forum on my WordPress staging site (not live yet, still currently hosted on the WordPress server). I installed bbPress version Version 2.6.9, not sure what WordPress version I’m using but I just set up the site in the past two months. I’m using the Twenty Twenty-Three theme.

I’ve done the initial bbPress setup steps (install and then create a forum and a topic), but I keep getting a blank page when I go to my /forums/ page or or my /jelp/ page (that’s the name of the forum). I’ve deactivated as many plugins as I can, and also cleared my cache, but still getting the same issue. I also went into WP-CONFIG and changed the memory limit to 256M.

I’ve started a WP DEBUG log, and I see this message: “PHP Deprecated: A deprecated web fonts array structure passed to wp_register_webfonts(). Variations must be grouped and keyed by their font family. in /wordpress/plugins/gutenberg/15.0.1/lib/experimental/class-wp-webfonts.php on line 160” — but I’m not sure what to do about it. I did deactivate Gutenberg just to see if it helps, but still nothing.

If it’s worth mentioning, I was also trying the ForumWP plugin previously and getting the same blank screen issue. I’ve since deactivated and deleted ForumWP.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Is it the default WordPress registration, or do you have a plugin for user registration?

I’d suspect That you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

Install this additional plugin

Hello everyone,

our provider made a php update from v7.4 to v8.1 (because EOL for php v7.4) the days and after this our homepage wasn’t reachable with the error message in the topic.

Via FTP i deactivated all installed plugins until the error came back and i found out, that this error comes from bbPress.

We have installed:

• php v8.1
• WordPress v6.1.1
• bbPress v2.6.9
• bbp style pack v5.3.5
• bbPress Toolkit v1.0.12
• theme Origamiez v1.3.5

If you need further information please let me know. The forum isn’t public, only for members.

Regards

Filout

[Robin W]

so is this topics/forums they have subscribed to or are you using something else to advise of new items
Is this just forum mail ? try installing

https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ and use it to test and switch on logging

That should tell you if it is your site not sending, or issues once the email has left your site

[Robin W]

ok i’d suggest the standard fault finding to see where the issue lies viz:

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

[Robin W]

I’d suspect that you tried posting more links than you have set as permitted.

go to

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation for the settings that apply to your site

You should also consider installing as well :

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

which will let you control moderation better, and the plugin has lots of other useful settings

Hi I have a Memberpress membership site which also uses bbPress. It uses a child theme of Divi from Elegantthemes. I’ve taken it to staging for some additional dev and have noticed that a collection of dynamic pages created by bbPress have a broken/incorrect layout like the attached.

The specific URLs i have found so far are:

…/forums/view/no-replies/
…/forums/view/popular/
…/forums/users/brian-sbm/
…/forums/users/username/topics/
…/forums/users/username/replies/
…/forums/users/username/engagements/
…/forums/users/username/favorites/
…/forums/users/username/subscriptions/
…/forums/users/username/edit/

php: 7.4.33
Wordpress: 6.1.1
bbPress: 2.6.9

[Robin W]

so can you just clarify that with just bbpress plugin, elementor and astra theme – this happens?

EITHER :

function rew_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
	}
add_filter('private_title_format', 'rew_remove_private_title');

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

OR

bbp style pack

bbpress works fine with 6.1.1, but in itself doesn’t like block themes.

If you are using a block theme, then this additional plugin adds that.

bbp style pack

and also adds lots of options to style and functionality which you will probably want.

The latest release of style pack has multisite functionality, but we are just ironing out a final few bugs, so I’d wait for bbp-style-pack 5.2.8 before having it in a live site

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

you can then set up what goes into ‘pending’ for approval
