thanks – ok I’m not seeing this, so either it is a setting, or a combination of theme/plugins
maybe try
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 events calendar and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

I see:

I think easiest is to drop the defaultness of first parameter in function declaration.
ok, suspect that the membership plugin or another plugin is affecting that.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

The issues I am having with it is below
1) On https://beechwoodsolutions.co.uk/sites/tftdirectorysite/forums/forum/forum/ I login and it redirects me to the wordpress default login page at https://beechwoodsolutions.co.uk/sites/tftdirectorysite/wp-login.php but if I click back in the browser, it has logged me in and I can post a new topic but don’t want front end users to see the default wordpress login page, I just want them to login and then create a new topic
Will that plugin bbp style pack solve the issue I am having with it?

ah, found the function that the ajax call is doing.
this code works on my test site
function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before'] = ' ' ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;
remove_action( 'bbp_ajax_subscription', array( 'BBP_Default', 'ajax_subscription' ) );
add_action ( 'bbp_ajax_subscription', 'new_ajax_subscription');
function new_ajax_subscription() {
// Bail if subscriptions are not active
if ( ! bbp_is_subscriptions_active() ) {
bbp_ajax_response( false, esc_html__( 'Subscriptions are no longer active.', 'bbpress' ), 300 );
}
// Bail if user is not logged in
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
bbp_ajax_response( false, esc_html__( 'Please login to subscribe.', 'bbpress' ), 301 );
}
// Get user and topic data
$user_id = bbp_get_current_user_id();
$id = ! empty( $_POST['id'] ) ? intval( $_POST['id'] ) : 0;
$type = ! empty( $_POST['type'] ) ? sanitize_key( $_POST['type'] ) : 'post';
// Bail if user cannot add favorites for this user
if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) ) {

}
// Get the object
if ( 'post' === $type ) {
$object = get_post( $id );
}
// Bail if topic cannot be found
if ( empty( $object ) ) {
bbp_ajax_response( false, esc_html__( 'Subscription failed.', 'bbpress' ), 303 );
}
// Bail if user did not take this action
if ( ! isset( $_POST['nonce'] ) || ! wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['nonce'], 'toggle-subscription_' . $object->ID ) ) {
bbp_ajax_response( false, esc_html__( 'Are you sure you meant to do that?', 'bbpress' ), 304 );
}
// Take action
$status = bbp_is_user_subscribed( $user_id, $object->ID )
? bbp_remove_user_subscription( $user_id, $object->ID )
: bbp_add_user_subscription( $user_id, $object->ID );
// Bail if action failed
if ( empty( $status ) ) {
bbp_ajax_response( false, esc_html__( 'The request was unsuccessful. Please try again.', 'bbpress' ), 305 );
}
// Put subscription attributes in convenient array
$attrs = array(
'object_id' => $object->ID,
'object_type' => $type,
'user_id' => $user_id
);
// Add separator to topic if favorites is active
if ( ( 'post' === $type ) && ( bbp_get_topic_post_type() === get_post_type( $object ) ) && bbp_is_favorites_active() ) {
$attrs['before'] = ' ';
}
// Action succeeded
bbp_ajax_response( true, bbp_get_user_subscribe_link( $attrs, $user_id, false ), 200 );
}
I need to add a class to the dropdown topic select_class.
the original function is:
function bbp_get_form_topic_status_dropdown( $args = array() ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'select_id' => 'bbp_topic_status',
'select_class' => 'bbp_dropdown',
'tab' => false,
'topic_id' => 0,
'selected' => false
), 'topic_open_close_select' );
// Filter & return
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_form_topic_status_dropdown', ob_get_clean(), $r, $args );
}
I tired to use this but didnt work
function custom_callback($args = array() ) {
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'select_class' => 'my-class',
) );
return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_topic_status_dropdown', 'custom_callback', 12, 2);

They had issues and take up a lot of wasted space.
Seriously done this time! No more changes/revisions! It is what it is!
Posting a much cleaner revision of the code above.
- This one will work with either the BBPress Style Pack plugin template (looks great!) or the default BBPress template (looks horrible!).
- It will optionally include the required ‘template-canvas.php’ only if it’s missing.
- It will also only affect BBPress pages, not the rest of the site.
- It will also only affect FSE Block themes.
- If using default BBPress templates, it includes checks for if on forum root index page and loads extras/archive-forum.php (to prevent double-listing of the forum index), and loads extras/page-front-forums.php for “the rest of bbpress” (to prevent “nothing found” errors)
// function to include the wp-includes/template-canvas.php file if needed
function fse_bbpress_template( $template ) {
if ( is_bbpress() ) {
$template = ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-canvas.php';
}

One issue with EVERY default BBPress template is that the header/footer/sidebar are trying to be pulled from template files that don’t exist in block themes. They’re being included, but don’t look right. I’m not sure of the best solution for that, other than to use the BBPress Style Pack Plugin which takes care of that and looks great.
no, I need to see what is being downloaded to your browser.

Using the clues in this topic, this is what I have working for ANY FSE Block theme with the wonderful style-pack plugin:
function fse_bbpress_template( $template ) {
$template = ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-canvas.php';
return $template;
}
function fse_bbp_theme_compat( $template ) {
$template= BSP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/templates/bbpress.php';
return $template;
}
if ( ! function_exists( 'fse_bbpress_support' ) ) {
function fse_bbpress_support() {
// gt current theme dir
$theme_dir = get_template_directory();
// Detect if FSE theme or traditional.
// FSE Block themes require a theme.json file.
// Use that to check instead of theme name or parent theme name.
// Perhaps a better method is available, but this works for now.
$fse_theme = false;
if ( file_exists( $theme_dir.'/theme.json' ) ) { $fse_theme = true; }
if ( !$fse_theme ) { return; }
// disabled because it doesn't seem to be needed, regardless of style pack
// $bsp_style_settings_theme_support['twentytwentytwo_activate'] setting
// template-canvas.php seems to be included by default
//add_filter( 'template_include', 'fse_bbpress_template' );
add_filter ( 'bbp_template_include_theme_compat' , 'fse_bbp_theme_compat' );
}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'fse_bbpress_support' );
and this little helper function helped me figure out what template was getting loaded in the first place:
function fse_bbpress_print_template() {
if ( is_bbpress() ) {
//echo at the bottom of the page visibly
echo get_page_template();
// or echo the template silently as an HTML comment
// echo '<!-- ' . get_page_template() . ' -->';
}
}
// DISABLE THIS ACTION HOOK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! DO NOT LEAVE IT ACTIVE WHEN DEBUGGING IS DONE!
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_loop', 'fse_bbpress_print_template' );
I’ve tried this on a few different FSE Block themes, and BBPress is displaying properly, and the style tweaks from the wonderful Style-Pack plugin are being applied.
Like I said, it’s working regardless of the $bsp_style_settings_theme_support[‘twentytwentytwo_activate’] setting within the BSP plugin, but it uses the template from the plugin so it would still need to be installed an active, even without any styling tweaks applied.
It’s not a permanent solution, but perhaps aspects of this could be applied to the BSP plugin, or your own custom solution.
Hello,
Thank you for such great plugin, very promising so far.
I have a few questions regarding login/ register. Yes, I have searched through the documentations and support but could not find any answer regarding these.
Installed theme/ plugins: free Astra theme, wp 6.0.2, bbpress 2.6.9, bbp style pack 5.0.8.
1. I have set up login box in the sidebar, and I would like to remove the default login box below topics/ posts. How is this done?

2. What is the best way to reduce the size of the login background box? I have attempted using SiteOrigin but when I it I’m shown the hover attribute so I can’t identify it to make the adjustment.

3. I would like to also try placing login link in below the main menu (like its done here in bbpress forum). How is this done? I do have “bbp style pack” plugin installed, but it places the login in the main menu bar, which I do not want.
Thank you in advance.
Based on my recent trouble-shooting, your issue could be caused by two potential reasons:
- Your CDN service provider altered the link to your video file. You might want try turning it off, so that the address of your video would change back to something like https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/cute_dog.mp4?time=1664812918, which is the actual location of your file. You may also check the source code of our pole line hardware website, on which we encountered a similar issue a few months ago. (We bought Godaddy’s WP plan, and its default CDN setting was turned on. We now use Cloudflare. A much better CDN. )
- Or, it may be caused by conflicting plugins installed on your website. Which means the embed function cannot work properly. You could try disable them all and flush your server cache to find the culprit.
Personally, if you are code-savvy, I would recommend employing a method called lite youtube embed for videos. Simply put, it reduces page loading time by serving your video only after the viewer hit PLAY, which drastically reduces the amount of data transferred on page load.
That’s all I can come up with based on your information. Best of luck!!

3. bbpress follows the rules in dashboard>settings>discussion
I am not good with English and use translation software.
By default, new posts are displayed at the bottom, so I used the plugin “bbPress – Sort topic replies” to change the sort order.
This plugin allows new posts to appear at the top, but I would like to change the URL in the notification email when a post is made to the board.
Currently it says “https://✕✕✕✕/forums/topic/bulletin-board/page/19/#post-4536”
and when accessed from here, the user is taken to the last page, page 19.
I would like to delete the “page/19/” part of this URL, but I don’t know where to delete it.
Please help me.
Can I do one thing, Ceate a forum, select it by default, and categorize the topics?
the user can create new categories.
If not, can the user create a new forum while creating a new topic?
Hello!
Pretty much as it says in the title.
How do I configure BBpress to auto approve all new topics and not put them into a moderation queue by default?
We use a spam cloud service so I am not too worried about spam topics as they will be filtered out automatically.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards

probably it is various email filters stopping – email providers constantly fight spam emails, and if yours are seeming to not come from authorised smtp address, then some will stop. that might explain why recipients get and some don’t.
so 1st – I’d make sure that the sending email address is a real one from your site. by default bbpress sends from noreply@yoursite you could use
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails to change
next I’d set up smtp.
get the smtp settings from your hoster, you’ll need
SMTP Host eg smtp.myco.com
Encryption none/tls/ssl
SMTP Port eg 587
Authentication on/off ?
and the email and pw for whatever you are sending from
the use
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin
to set up smtp – the free version is fine
finally I’d add the ‘check and log email’ plugin to see what is happening
Check & Log Email

New to this. I just installed bbPress to my site and something’s wrong with the default setting. Notice on these two pages, the login button and ‘keep me signed in’ button and text appear to be in random places. How can I fix this? :
sketchbookers.com/forums1
ok, so you are correct that topics and replies should be public.
You don’t say how you detected a brute force, and if these were default or easily guessed usernames etc. The whole idea of a brute force attack is to try loads of usernames in the hope one is correct.
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if you were seeing login attempts this might be just a plain brute force on a wordpress site, unrelated to bbpress.
Identifying users would be unlikely to come from a topic display, given that a private forum does not show public topics either on screen or through rss.
However bbpress does have a profile page which is publicly displayable, and that might be a route. ie if the profile page of a display name does not 404, then username is valid.
you can use :
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
where you can choose who to display profiles to, and therefore prevent profile pages of your users being identifiable.
