My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine
I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.
I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.
Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?
I am attempting to convert a PHPBB3 forum to BBPress. Obviously it is failing (thus this post). It seems to run, and did change the name of the the admin account on the PHPBB forum. However, the rest of the process is as such:
Import Finished.
17.No threaded replies to import
16.No anonymous reply authors to import
15.No replies to import
14.No favorites to import
13.No topic subscriptions to import
12.No topic tags to import
11.No closed topics to import
10.No super stickies to import
9.No stickies to import
8.No anonymous topic authors to import
7.No topics to import
6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.No forum parents to import
4.No forums to import
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up
Starting Import…
Ready to go.
What I am working with:
PHPBB3 = 3.2.11
BBPress = 2.6.9
Neither the old forum nor the new have any mods installed. BBPress is a virgin install on a virgin install of WordPress.
I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If I end up with 2 similar posts, I apologize. I *think* my first post fell into the bitbucket, but if not it may appear as well.
Thanks in advance for any help!

ok, I am not sure what is happening

ok. You should not get an error when deactivating bbpress, so something is causing this outside of bbpress itself.
You say you get a critical error – I need to know exactly what that says. You might need to turn n debug to get this.
Wordpress doesn’t make this easy !!
https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/
@robin-w, I think bbPress does just what you’re saying. But (if I understand things correctly) BuddyPress will change the WP “display name” (and/or “nickname” ???) when you update your name in the BP profile — If “synching” is on. I use BP, but I actually have synching OFF, so I’m not all that familiar with the details.
BTW, the same goes for email. You can change that in the BP profile too, and (if allowed) it updates it in WordPress.
> I am using BuddyPress and tried your suggestion but it didn’t change anything
@keystonehdc,
Did you do a buddypress profile name update after checking profile syncing?
Checking that won’t affect changes that have already been done.
If you don’t need to change it through the buddypress profile, the there’s that plugin Robin suggested, or you could change in the WordPress user fields.
If buddypress is essential to what you’re doing, there is also a buddypress forum:
https://buddypress.org/support/
And also these guys, who seem so provide more answers than the official forum (they have a “paid” category but they answer question even if you don’t pay):
https://buddydev.com/support/forums/
bbpress just uses the wordpress display name, so any wordpress plugin that changes this should work eg
Easy Username Updater
it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress
so the standard fault finding applies viz…
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi there,
I have been testing bbPress for my site but I am not sure it is the right fit.
And so, I disable it and it causes a critical error in WordPress. I enable it again and the site comes back.
I am using WP 5.9, DIVI theme 4.14.7
Site: https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/
I would like to test BuddyPress but I don’t want to do this while I have this issue with bbPress.
Let me know if you need any further info.
Many thanks,
Ollie
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login
Is this a BuddyPress profile that you’re talking about? If so, do you have the Buddypress option “Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing” checked?
If you’re using buddypress, checking that will sync the WP profile changes with buddypress. Be aware that this may have other consequences than just changing the display name, and I’m not sure what all of them are 🙂

Good day all,
I want to change user name (my nickname) on my profile banner. I changed it under user – profile, but nothing happened. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I’ve found the problem. There was an addon installed in WordPress from the previous hoster. That’s was causing the issue. After removing this, the problem was solved. Since it was not a plugin (in the plugins folder), it was hard to found.
Best,

Hi Robin,
I’m sad to report that the code provided had no effect on my site.
I inserted it Code Snippet but no effect.

I guess my real question is how to change theme/WP header on pages specifically displaying forum content? Some other participant here had something to say about it https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-header-on-bbpress/ and claimed to have been successful (?)
Will you vouch for it as well or do you have have something else you can help me implement?
TIA

ok that phrase is not in bbpress, so something else is sending it.
‘blocklist’ looks like it should actually read ‘blacklist’

You can manually change any set up already from their profile.
For new users you can change this at registration
eg
function change_display_name( $user_id ) {
$info = get_userdata( $user_id );
$args = array(
'ID' => $user_id,
'display_name' => $info->first_name . ' ' . $info->last_name
);
wp_update_user( $args );
}
add_action('user_register','change_display_name');
you have options of
‘display_name’ => $info->user_login
or
‘display_name’ => $info->user_email
or
‘display_name’ => $info->user_nicename
or if you have a custom field, you can use that
