You can use almost any theme – some integrate better.
to style bbpress use
bbp style pack
Sorry about the newbie questions.
I have a wordpress install and like the theme. I wanted to add BBPress/BuddyPress
To the wordpress site, Is it better to create a separate WordPress install for BBPress
with the a specific BBpress theme?
Or is it possible to add a special theme to ONLY style BBpress?
Thank you
Hello, I’m installing bbPress on wordpress 2022 theme and bbPress doesn’t seem to work. It shows empty pages. Is it not support on this theme?
try
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>unread posts
That is how it is supposed to be.
The dashboard is for administration, generally sites hide the dashboard from ordinary users either by using code or a plugin such as
Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles
Topics or replies not showing on participant profile/dashboard bar. It only shows dashboard and then profile. However, they are both showing for moderators.Please help!
Wordpress version 5.9.2
bbPress version 2.6.9

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.
I suspect that plugin assumes you want to override the subscriptions – but no idea.
However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed
Yes this is how bbpress now does this. The idea is that many mailservers chop lots of emails being sent at once, so this avoids that pitfall in theory. The fact that the noreply goes nowhere is not an issue as such, and you’ll find that many sites use this method.
You can use this to amend that, though old this plugin still works
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions
and if you want to amend the sending email use
bbp style pack
and dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
Finally you might want to try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ as a better version of the notify plugin
works on my test site and these are native to wordpress

If it’s not working for you, then try the usual fault finding.
If you want more, I’ve not used any, but
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/emoticons/
try one that says it works with custom post types
Hi there,
I’ve finally found out what was the problem. This is (I feel like saying “just”) an incompatibility with a plugin : https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/swap-google-font-display/
I will inform the plugin’s author.
Have a good day !
ok, If you are certain that
1. the box is being ticked (by default it is left blank), and that
2. emails are working from within bbpress (ie if someone else subscribes to the topic they get an email)
then the standard fault finding applies…
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

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

I use the newest versions of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress and the Responsive theme.
I can’t find a way for participants to add more than one link or picture to forum posts or replies without the posts going into moderation. Where can I set the threshold? Is there any plugin for that?
Moderators can do that.
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3 );
function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
$words = array(
'Forums' => 'Forum'
);
$translated = str_replace( array_keys($words), $words, $translated );
}
return $translated;
}

No size restriction, actually bbpress is much lighter than Invision, Xenforo etc
And i would add :
use LiteSpeed Cache : best cache for WordPress (and even better if you have a LiteSpeed server)
No restriction in forum size – this site uses bbpress with 130,000 odd topics. Server capability is of course key to any response time.
Bbpress just uses wordpress login, so you will need to look at how that is done with wordpress.
Hi,
I’m considering this forum plugin for my site, is there a restriction on the forum size ?
Since this is integrated with WordPress core, if we have quite a large forum wouldn’t it make the site very slow ?
I also have the intention to mirror this site and therefore will use a different domain, does this forum plugin accept cross domain login and access ?
not sure that will help – as I stated in the fix, this is neither bbpress or elementor problem – just 2
plugins that try and help wordpress but don’t totally work together.
Have anyone found an alternative to the plugin bbpress moderation tools that have recently closed in the wordpress repo?
