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

looks like a theme issue- your theme is seeing this url as a post and showing a ‘post excerpt’
try
bbPress WP Tweaks
to see if changing the default wrapper will help
next page works fine on my test site.

I’ve been battling this bug for months now and it’s driving me up the wall.
When a forum user has more than one page of forum topics or replies, the pagination links do not generate correctly.
Take this user, for example: …com/members/adaptprep/forums/
For forum topics, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/topics/page/2/
For forum replies, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/replies/page/2/
I have seen many users with similar issues, but so far no solutions. Can anyone help?

I should say that I simply help out here, I am not a bbpress plugin author, but have several plugins that add to bbpress capability.
Simply they both have registration functions as they are separate plugins, so if you only use one, it is useful to have a registration function, but as I say any WordPress registration function will do the job.
As for my second para, perhaps if I re-phrased it to read as I intended…
Many people do not use both bbpress and buddypress, rather some have just bbpress or just buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites but many have just bbpress.
Thanks, Robin. I understand that both BuddyPress and BBPress create WordPress users. But if Buddypress users and BBpress users are identical, I’m wondering why BBPress has a Forum registration function.
The second part of your response seems to be assuming that I was asking why BuddyPress and BBPress aren’t included in WordPress. I wasn’t asking that. I was asking why Buddypress and BBpress aren’t together in one plugin.
Buddypress and bbpress just use wordpress registration and login, so any wordpress, buddypress and/or bbpress registration/login will register/log you into all these.
Many people do not need either bbpress or buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites.
Hi Folks, I’ve used bbPress successfully before but I think I’ve done something wrong this time around.
I’ve added a menu item (for logged in users) to the forums but neither of the new forums displays.
Previously each forum would be displayed one above the other but this time just some search text.
Forums page:https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/
Sample forum when previewed from editor:
https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/forum/general-chit-chat/
or…forum/how-do-i
I’m sure I must have missed something but can’t think what. It appeared so simple last time.

Hi again,
I made a change, it seems to be with permalinks. When I change to “plain” it showed up in the link of the forum but other site pages’ custumization doesn’t show up like contact with wordpress.com/contact example. Here is the forum website link: https://liberognulinux.wpcomstaging.com/forums/ and this is the link that works by changing the permalink plain https://liberognulinux.wpcomstaging.com/?page_id=50
Hi,
I am having problems setting up the forum for my community.
I have used the short code [bbp-forum-index] on the “forum” page but nothing appears on the screen, it is blank.
The subscription I take for my website is on wordpress.com and I’ve seen a few tutorials on how to setup the bbPress but had no success. It seems others on the internet have more options on wordpress than my subscription on wordpress.com, hope this helps to figure out.
I hope to get this done.
Cheers and waiting for a reply,
André Machado
If I understand the question then
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6
sorry, since Divi is a paid product, and bbpress is a free one, suggest you refer to Divi and how to get the two working – Divi claim they integrate viz ‘bbPress should work seamlessly with all the best WordPress themes including Divi and Extra. As there’s no need to change themes to use it, bbPress is ideal for anyone starting a new website as well as those with an existing site they’d like to enhance with a discussion area.’
How to Use bbPress to Add a Forum to Your WordPress Website
Hello,
I am running WordPress 5.8.2 with an Eduma Child theme. I have LearnPress and bbPress (v2.6.6) installed and I have an issue with forums.
Course A is attached to Forum A and this has been working well for over a year. I recently created Course B which is a duplicate of Course A. Course B is attached to Forum A.
Users who are signed up for Course B gets the message ‘ You are not enrolled in the course’ when they try to access their forum which is Forum A.
Please can you help????
Thanks
Not quite this, but close

I’ve just taken a look.
bbpress uses the wordpress ‘untrash’ function to restore topics and replies.
That wordpress function includes a note saying
* By default posts that are restored will be assigned a status of 'draft'.
* Prior to WordPress 5.6.0, restored posts were always assigned their original status.
so this was a change in WordPress 5.6
However WordPress helpfully includes a hook we can link to to restore the previous status automatically
add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'wp_untrash_post_set_previous_status' , 10 , 3) ;
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 there,
I just discovered a bug on bbpress (v2.6.9) : when you :
1) trash a reply,
2) then restore it,
3) that reply is definitely trashed instead of being restored
I reproduced this issue with wordpress default theme with no other plugins activated.
Did you noticed that also ?
Best regards
ok so something like
add_filter ('generate_get_the_title_parameters' , 'rew_community', 10 , 1) ;
function rew_community ($params) {
if (is_page ('community')) {
$params = array(
'before' => sprintf(
'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
esc_url( get_page_by_title( 'community' ) ) ),
'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
),
'after' => '</a></h2>',
);
}
return $params ;
}
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

add_filter ('bbp_get_caps_for_role' , 'rew_change_caps', 10 , 2) ;
function rew_change_caps ($caps, $role) {
// Which role are we looking for?
switch ( $role ) {
case bbp_get_spectator_role() :
$caps = array(
// Primary caps
'spectate' => true,
'participate' => true,
// Forum caps
'read_private_forums' => true,
// Topic caps
'publish_topics' => true,
'edit_topics' => true,
// Reply caps
'publish_replies' => true,
'edit_replies' => true,
// Topic tag caps
'assign_topic_tags' => true,
);
break;
}
return $caps ;
}
This occurs dependant on theme and set up.
The easiest way to fix it is
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs
and you can set the root breadcrumb to correctly go to where you want
ok this is theme/page/wordpress setup rather than bbpress – if you look at the HTML then bbpress starts below this with
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
above this – it is not bbpress doing it.
