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
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 then deactivate 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

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

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

I am in the process of migrating a site from ning to WordPress/BBPress, including all of the past forum discussions (important to my users). There is no working migration tool, so the only way I can see to accomplish this is to manually copy all of the discussion to the BBPress forums. Is there a way that I can change the dates of the posts to reflect the original dates of posting instead of the dates that I manually copy them?
neither is standard in bbpress, maybe in buddypress or buddyboss, I don’t know.
for the handle, you’ll need to add
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

A couple of our members are having an issue when submitting a post or replying to one. When they press submit nothing happens so they then try again and they find they have a duplicate post. From one member: “If you press backspace after you press submit you can then see your post”. Another member sent this: “whenever I submit a discussion the gateway times me out and I have to log back in”. It’s not happening to everyone though …
Any advice/insight gratefully received.
Thanks – a few questions please
one ‘post’ – or all posts?
edit from front end (what the user sees) or backend (wordpress dashboard)?
Topics/replies – or both?
what is your bbpress role?
bbpress just uses the wordpress username and password.
If you google around, you can probably find a wordpress plugin that will be close to what you want
you can get to a vertical list and tidy up by using this additional plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates
and
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display
1. use this plugin
bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum Display – item 11
or 2. using code
to set to say 60
add_filter ('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'rew_number_of_forums') ;#
function rew_number_of_forums ($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 60 ;
return $args ;
