Hi !
I have a user login problem.
When you enter the connection info, bbpress does not take them into account.
The form comes back asking me to log in again. If I change pages despite everything, it tells me that I am connected.
Is this a conflict between wordpress and bbpress?
Thank you for your help.

hmmm… that’s interesting, I fully believe you, but am struggling to see why it should either slow the site or cause other issues.

I would suggest you undo the content-search.php change you made above and see if that affects anything.

Beyond that, If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and elementor plugin and my elementor fix and see if this sppeeds it up. 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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

I am pretty new to wordpress in general. I set up a site with buddypress, the buddyx theme, and bbpress. However, the posts on my forums appear to be grayed out. The font is too light for the background. Is there any way to fix it? I tried switching themes, but it didn’t fix anything

My private groups plugin lets you

create groups
assign forums to those groups
assign roles to the groups

thus giving you what you want.

Hello fellow WordPress enthusiasts,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m currently in the process of setting up my WordPress website, and I’ve decided to integrate a discussion forum using the bbPress plugin. While I’ve had some experience with WordPress, this is my first time working with a forum plugin, and I could use some guidance regarding the installation process. If you could lend me a hand, I’d be extremely grateful!

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But with open software you make your choices….

I am on this staging site: https://wordpress-631920-3100285.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/ trying to get it to show more than 8 forums on the page.

Apologies for the delay, I have been on holiday.

Looking at that link, it seems you have fixed your 8 to a page issue – yes?

[Robin W]

so what wordpress theme are you using?

[Robin W]

add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length' , 'rew_change_length') ;

function rew_change_length () {
	$length = 160 ;
return $length ;
}

so change length to whatever number you want.

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

ok, try making a user an editor in wordpress and see if they can create a post. That might help define if it is bbpress or wordpress/site issue

[WebsThatRock]

Okay, I am having the same problem. The folder and file permissions are accurate.
Folder ‘Forums’ is set to 0755 and the files within it are set to 0644.

I deactivated all of the plugins except bbPress and the 403 error still happens when trying to add a topic to the frontend.

bbPress Version 2.6.9
WordPress Version 6.3
Theme is a child theme of Twenty Nineteen

I notice that the link at the start of the thread is showing one forum it appears. The General forum. https://wordpress-631920-3100285.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/forum/filmmakers/ So, where were the forums/forum/filmmakers/ set up?

[StudentFilmmakers]

Hi Robin, I am trying to make it work with Astra, Hello or any theme that will work with elementor but I am open to using anything that will work. Thank you for your help. I had it working I thought but now it’s not showing the forums. I am on this staging site: https://wordpress-631920-3100285.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/ trying to get it to show more than 8 forums on the page.

[Robin W]

No that’s fine, I now understand.

Nothing I know of that does this – sorry !

you can have a visual editor that looks better than the default.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress just uses wordpress login. It’s quite doable but beyond free help

Hey all

Im a new to wordpress and website building, but I am trying to set up a simple forum, that allows user to discuss a certain topic. Nothing fancy at all, but when a user is not logged in to my site and is scrolling through the forum, and he fails to login through the BBpress login, the visitor gets redirected to my backend login in screen. How can I make that so the guest is redirected to a custom URL?

Thanks.

[Robin W]

on holiday at the moment, so untested solution !!

But try

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_admin_links' , 'rew_no_close', 10 , 1) ;

function rew_no_close ($r) {
	if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && bbp_is_topic_open()) {
		unset ($r['close']) ;
	}
return $r ;
}

This should ensure that only keymasters can close topics (assumes moderators have no backend access)

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

[valvatine]

Hello,

I created a bbpress forum on this site that is just available for approved members.

When I click on user profile links, I obtain the following error:
Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist.
It looks like this was the result of either a mistyped address or an out-of-date link.

So, I would like to know how I can create the topics started page and others page displayed on user profile page. Is there any shortcode to do that or any other solutions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am keymaster on the website but I dont have access to source code of the site. I am using WordPress 6.2.2, bbpress Version 2.6.9.

[Robin W]

ok, beyond free help, so this might help, otherwise sorry

Bonjour,
Je n’ai pas trouvé l’objet de mon problème sur le forum et j’espère ne pas faire de doublon. Dans le cas contraire veuillez m’excuser.

Je débute en tant que modératrice sur WordPress et j’ai du mettre à jour le php de mon site (hébergé sur IONOS et passé de 5.6 à 8.1). Tout fonctionne bien sur l’interface WordPress et sur le site (http://alombredugrandarbre.com/) mais un message d’erreur m’empêche d’accéder à la page du forum (http://alombredugrandarbre.com/forum/).

J’ai essayé toutes les étapes de résolution de problème suggérées au début de ce sujet et rien n’a fonctionné. Auriez-vous une idée pour m’aider s’il vous plait ?
Cordialement,

[Robin W]

just got 10 minutes to look at this.

try this

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_content' , 'rew_display_acf') ;

function rew_display_acf () {
	$id = bbp_get_reply_id() ;
	//if it is the topic...
	if (bbp_is_topic( $id ) {
		echo '<br>Lake Marker 2: ' .get_field( 'lake_marker_point_2' ) ;
	}
}

or

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_content' , 'rew_display_acf') ;

function rew_display_acf () {
	$id = bbp_get_reply_id() ;
	//if it is the topic...
	if (bbp_is_topic( $id ) {
		echo '<br>Lake Marker 2: ' .get_field( 'lake_marker_point_2', $id ) ;
	}
}
