just found 5 mins to look at this

so installed free sydney theme from wordpress
downloaded and installed child theme from here
https://athemes.com/download/sydney-child-theme/

creates bbpress folder in child theme

copied \bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\content-search.php to child theme bbpress folder

all works fine.

I can only suggest you try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click ‘save’ – this resets the permalinks and often fixes 404 errors

[Robin W]

ok, I agree it is annoying, but bbpress just uses worldpress registration and login, and is not very clever with these elements.

You are best to sort it using a plugin such as ‘theme my login’ to fix all these issues

Theme My Login

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login failures

[Robin W]

dashboard>pages>all pages> and select the ‘activities’ page.

From there select ‘page’ on right hand side

scroll down and you should see ‘topics for posts’

and a tickbox ‘use a bbpress forum topic for comments on this post’ – untick this.

If you do not see that part, then click the 3 vertical dots and scroll to the bottom of that page, select preferences and then panels and then click the topics for posts

Sorry this is wordpress not me making this hard

[Robin W]

I’m pretty sure that the link in the ‘latest activity’ widget in my style pack takes you to the reply

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find a latest activity widget with lots of settings you can use.

The bbPress codex explains that when bbPress is installed it creates three new menu items in the WordPress backend. These are Forums, Topics and Replies.

I do not have the Forums topic. Is there some way that I can add it in?

[Robin W]

bbpress only uses wordpress login, so doesn;t change anything in this area

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

Then come back

It doesn’t work anymore.

WordPress: 5.7

So it’s always impossible to have TINY on BBPress

Hi @isc-admin,

bbPress Notify (No-Spam) https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ does support topic-author tags, along with a bunch of others.

Cheers,

@flamuren – you can change plugin files, but if they are on wordpress repository and have updates, then updates will overwrite them.

Just keep a note of what you changed, so that if say I do a fresh version which you want, you can then apply your changes afterwards

[Robin W]

bbp-style-pack has a list of plugins that people have found useful

bbp style pack

once activated go to

Hi Communiy,

perhaps, anybody can help me: I try to convert my Xoops-Forum to WordPress bbForum. I have used the convert-script from GitHub / ntwb (https://gist.github.com/ntwb/1dde44f2f77b11136888a74d9bda4668).

The script runs thru all parts but the end of all is “nothing to convert” – see below the status-report

whilst old, this plugin still works

bbPress Notifications

[pozoalcon]

Hi.
When an user posts a topic, is there anyway for the admin to get a notification? An email notification or a notification in the WordPress dashboard?

Thank you very much!
Ángel.

I should have mentioned this is a case where I have a bbPress forum linked to a BuddyPress group. I am viewing the forum inside a group.

I troubleshooted this and this is odd. The only plugins I have installed are bbPress and BuddyPress. Tried on two different default WordPress themes and getting the same thing with 2019 and 2020 theme.

Still getting the same results, I wonder if this is BuddyPress doing this hmm.

Hello,

I would like to have a text break on .bbp-author-name especially mobile devices.

I use latest version bbpress and wordpress.

Can you help?

Thanks Silke

[ritishsharma]

Alright.
It means that users who already registered on my website doesn’t need to register for bbPress again.

But any other users or users from different wordpress website needs to.
