It is possible:
Register
I use Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha (v2 & v3). See:
View post on imgur.com
I should also point out that I use “Theme My Login” plugin and use my own actual page, which has this shortcode on it:
[theme-my-login action="register"]
I have found this to be the best solution. The above and the “WP security Questions” when I can ask additional question and check their reply.
I have installed a simple recaptcha plugin which works well on the standard wordpresslogin pages. However, there is no recaptcha form appended to the bbpress login widget which I have in the forum sidebar seen here: ‘hatopia.de/community’. When you login using this form you get an error and get redirected to the standart wp login page in order to solve the receptcha.
Is it possible to modify the form in a way that it’s showing the receptacha form? Or do you have any other recommondation which would mitigate this bad user experience?

since bbpress just uses WordPress registration, then there are a wide variety of registration plugins that will let you add things like recaptcha to prevent bot registration – just google WordPress registration plugins and have a look around eg (just an example)
Simple User Registration
If you allow users to register you will always have nuisance users to deal with – comes with then territory :-). I clear about 6 spam posts on here a day.
Hi there,
there is quite alot of spam/bot user registration since I setup a bbpress forum on my site. I would like you to provide me with some useful tips on how to mitigate this or ideally stop it completely.
What are best practices dealing with spam in bbrpess/wordpress?
Thank you for your tips.
best regards, peter
This is the third time I’ve posted this as the first two have not shown up on the forums (I do apologise if they all show up at once now)
I need to edit css for the ‘Register here’ and ‘forgot password’ pages as they look terrible in responsive view when logged out, I can use CSS Hero for this..
However, I am unable to do this because being logged into wordpress (to enable me to edit css) means that I only see the ‘logged in’ view of the ‘register here’ and ‘forgot password’ pages. Whereas it’s actually the ‘logged out’ view I need to edit.
If you type https://findgyms.co.uk/forgot-password/ into:
http://responsiv.eu/
you should hopefully see what my dilemma is, as the unlogged in view should come up.
I hope this makes sense?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Tim

Let me first state I am doing this for security in light of all the wordpress sites being hacked. I want to change the #bbpress css ID’s to something like #forum.
I am not much of a coder so could I ask how I go about this ? or is there an easier way to go about this ?
Some of my plugins really heavily on different caching methods to make sure that things are optimized and fast. And, many things in bbPress are not very optimized due to the nature of data storage used by WordPress, so whenever I can use the cache, I do it.
As for the statistics function, I am not sure exactly what it returns, I use my function which is quite different, but from what I remember, it returns an array with pairs including labels and values.

Yeah, ‘members’ sounds much better, I never liked the ‘users’ that is the norm in WordPress. I have created a plugin GD Members Directory that adds a new page listing all forum members with options to filter and order the list of members, and it would be good to have the change from users to members done in bbPress core too.
The only limitation is that of WordPress itself. You can’t have more than the fixed number of sub-menus. But atleast you can configure many things in a nice way. 🙂 Now my menu in the backend has some kind of order! 🙂
If you are interested, I ended up using EnlighterJS. It has a fantastic WordPress module that is compatible with bbPress and is fantastic. User support has been great via GitHub:
Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter
If you need to show code snippets in your forum then this should be the one to use – hands down.
Just to mention that Advanced Menu Editor is a very nice plugin for managing menu positions.
Admin Menu Editor
But is simply does not make sense. WordPress / bbPress should return public count if not logged on and complete count if logged on – surely. It is false and misleading.
If they are only listing just the public content then the rest of the figures should match that.
Not to worry.
Can we change the terms at all so that they are more consistent with the advanced stats?
Side point: I put a query in your GD Power Search forum 🙂
Thanks!
Yeah, that is correct, the widget uses WordPress function that counts only published forums (in this case, that is only public visibility), the rest is not counted for this widget statistics.
WordPress creates a unique sequential number for every post, page, custom post type (which bbpress has as forums, topics and replies), every revision of the above, and many other plugins also use this mechanism.
so if a topic is created as 15623 it means there are 15622 pre-existing entries of the above in the database.
replies to topics are associated by another entry in the database giving the post’s ‘parent’
so numbers are entirely irrelevant in the scheme of bbpress.
Hello,
I have updated bbPress plugin to the latest version and i noticed that my forum is not working correctly now, when i go in the main page of the forum it loads just one topic and the page is without CSS, just a blank page with the title of the topic and some infos like the date and the creator.
Then i tried to download some old versions of bbPress to install but i dont remember which version was installed before.
So i tried bbPress 2.5.4 (its the one that i think it was installed before) and with this one i cant reach any page of the forum, infact when i go in the forum section of wordpress dashboard it load just a blank page.
I tried already some versions of bbPress from 2.5.1 to 2.5.9 then 2.6.0 and the latest but nothing changes.
The only difference is that with 2.6.0 or next loads correctly the forum section in the dashboard and with 2.5.9 or prev doesnt.
What went wrong just updating and reverting the update?
Hello I have the latest wordpress and bbpress version.
Some of my users told me that they cant subscribe to a forum anymore. By deactivating all my plugins and activating them again I found out it is due to BP Plugin.
Do you know anything about that?
Thanks a lot!
I’m redesigning my site, and for some reason, the child (sub) forums are not showing on the Forum Index under their parents. This happened on my first development site and after trying different things, I uninstalled bbPress and reinstalled it. They appeared. Now, when I moved my redesigned theme (which does have some template overrides) to a new dev site setup, once again my child forums are missing. However, uninstalling and reinstalling bbPress didn’t fix it this time.
I looked at the source code of the forum index and there is absolutely nothing there (no child forums).
Any ideas why they are not showing up again?
NOTE: I’m on WordPress 5.4.2, PHP 7.2. I switched to the twenty twenty theme, and the same thing happens…no child forums show under the parents. I also cannot give a link because my redesign is done locally on XAMPP.
If you need a forum to look a certain way, that can be done with WordPress and bbPress. bbPress look and feel can be fully customized.
that’s a WordPress core function, looks like you site is having issues.
Suggest you contact your host provider and see what advice they offer. You might need to roll back to a previous backup if the site is corrupted.
I have released a new free plugin for bbPress (it will remain as a free plugin, there will not be a Pro version in the future) for easier management of the topics and forums through the use of quick and bulk editing. Check it out here:
GD Forum Manager for bbPress
In the plugin page you can see the video showing how the plugin works. If you have any suggestions for more edit actions to be implemented, let me know.

Thanks Robin for a great help. I am coding my own theme, and code from this plugin helped me to find out the filter ‘bbp_subscription_mail_message’. Though function ‘bbp_pre_notify_subscribers’ and ‘bbp_post_notify_subscribers’ are not working. But its working great with the ‘wp_mail_content_type’. It is now returning all mails from wordpress to Html emails. Anyway atleast it solved my issue. Thanks!!
