I am currently using the Twenty Twenty theme. The theme is causing jumbled text on the forum page.
Forum Page
I have tried both bbPress and BuddyBoss. I have the same issue. I contacted BuddyBoss, they stated there is an issue with the Twenty Twenty theme. I contacted the admins at the Twenty Twenty theme. They told me to go to bbPress for support. I cannot locate the issue in the code.
See Twenty Twenty theme ticket
I also completed the additional troubleshooting steps:
- Deactive plugins – this did not solve the issue
- Themes – switching the themes fixes the issue. I contacted the Twenty Twenty theme authors. They told me to contact you.
- Selecting the default permalinks – I am already using the default permalinks
- Repair Forums – this did not solve the issue
- Using WP Debug – no debug issues appeared
- Diagnose Javascript errors – there are no javascript errors appearing
I have basically tried everything besides resetting my WordPress website. Nothing seems to work.
I have some HTML and CSS I would like to add in the comments box (on the topics page) for a user to select when they are tying a comment. I have two things that would work for me if possible (either one or the other):
1) Add in a ‘tab’ at the bottom of the comments box and then I can add in my HTML to appear there. And if this ‘tab’ can only appear when the user clicks to comment that would be great but, if not, a constant ‘tab’ that is attached to the comment section at the bottom would suffice (which moves with comment box if end user increases the size)
Or
2) Just add in my HTML to the ‘default’ comments box and fix it to a specific position without the tab on the bottom.
The HTML is a toggle slider by the way if that is a query to anyone.
Are either of these options possible? If yes, please let me know how and what file I should edit?
If you are having trouble understanding please let me know.
Thank you
Thanks for reply my topic, Robin.
But what I want to ask, is on the default, do Participant roles, can set the Topic Status to Closed when Create New Topic in the forum?
If on the default is not, it’s mean when the participant can close topic is some vulnerabilities, right?
ok, yes that should give you the forum button on the dashboard.

I think your theme is adding another one in the bbpress templates
so in 2.6.x they are added in
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php
so your have 2 choices
a. the better one
Look in each of the files you listed as being bbpress in your themes template and look for a line which says something like
bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' );
and edit out this line
b. If you can’t find it there, then
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
remove the line which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘user-login’ ); ?>
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Repeat this for form-topic.php

I installed the forum and the Divi theme with the version : Version: 4.9.4. and the bb press Version 2.6.6.
The link is below : https://hlpwld.olvdigitalsolutions.com/,
when i clicked on the forum, i am redirecting to the wp default login page. Please guide me.
I also installed few plugins listed below
1. bbPress Members only Pro Multi-Site License
2. bbPress WooCommerce Payment Gateway
you can use just that list or have it open as per the default.
to display a list
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form and look at option 18

It’s kinda weird that when I edit this php file you mention “content-single-topic.php”, it didn’t show those changes on the forum pages.
ok, question, does your theme have bbpress files associated with it? or is a plugin affecting this

Having done a little digging in the CSS that “bbp style pack” creates, I THINK I have isolated the buttons to the class of
#bbpress-forums.button{
background-color:#9e9e9e
color: 000000
}
… which is the correct grey / black that the editor buttons SHOULD be. But it seems that something after that is picking up the theme colours, and setting it to those. (Unless there is some code earlier that is !IMPORTANT! that is setting it.
Also, “bbPress” seems to have a mind of it’s own, disregarding settings made within WordPress. For example, the editor has been set up with two rows of buttons … but “bbPress” will only display the default 12 or 13 buttons in one row, (and not even those match what’s been set up elsewhere in WordPress) The same plugin that sets up two rows of buttons has an option with “Don’t use visual editor in bbPress” Guess what … “bbPress” loaded the visual editor anyway.
Another plugin states “Switch this on to use the membership profile rather than the bbPress profile” Turn that on, and … rather than link to the profile, the link shows “#” so that it simply reloads the same page. And the big profile button (beside “Create Topic”) STILL jumps to the bbPress profile !!
OK, appreciate that some of those things are bbPress not accepting the settings of the other plugins … but it gets somewhat annoying when you bat your head against a brick wall all day!
I’m running 2.6.6 on 5.7 on my test sites, all I can suggest is

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your response.
We are using v2.5.14 before and we’ve updated it to v2.6.6.
The template file is “loop-replies.php” which is inside the directory “/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress”.
Here’s the screenshot for comparison reference.
We have the “v2.5.14” on left of the screenshot and we have the “v2.6.6” on the right. As you can see this functions “bbp_topic_subscription_link()” and “bbp_user_favorites_link()” were removed on the updated template.
Thanks!

Ever since 2.6.6 The Last Updates or Last Posts column never shows dates anymore. Even if a topic was just created it still says No Topics. I have tried the default 2021 theme and it’s still an issue. I have also created a staging version of the site with 2.6.5 and it works.
On my post / pages, the Tiny MCE Visual Editor displays as it should, ie a row (or two) of grey and black icons, allowing user to select align right / align left / justify etc. (I mention that in case anyone thinks I’m referring to the ‘basic’ buttons as shown on this forum posting options) As such, I don’t think it’s the theme / plugins causing the problem.
However, once “bbPress” fires up, the buttons go crazy, and ‘inherit’ the CSS styles from the theme. (The vendor who created the “WP-Edit” plugin says in an article that some themes are DESIGNED so that the buttons change to the theme colours; I want to keep the default colours)
In another post, RobinW suggested the “bbpress-pack” which has done a great job getting the forum set up the way I want … but it doesn’t redress the button problem.
I am using:
Theme: dashscroll
Plugins: ARMember (membership plugin)
bbPress
WP-Edit (to change the buttons on the editor)
I THINK there is code I can place somewhere that effectively filters this settting so that it doesn’t take effect … but what I need to filter for, or the code to use I have no idea.
NB: The “Visual” and “Text” buttons also seem to be inheriting the font size / padding of theme as it is also displacing the text on said buttons.

I presume by settings, you mean the plugin settings option. The “bb style pack” you mention isn’t listed. Fact, all I have is one option that says “Forum Theme Packages” which lists the one default template. (I also checked the settings where writing / reading / discussion is shown, but again, nothing found)
I have (sort of) solved it via a plugin called “Turnkey bbPress by WeaverTheme”; at least now all the children are shown in one column with a newline, although they still show with just (0,0) at the end, (which changes to (1,0) when making a post
Will research if there are anymore bbpress templates that can be installed anywhere.
Hi
i you create a new install with just one forum and one topic and no replies and start adding the dafult widgets to the widget area then in the front of the website you get these notifications.
Please add a check for these counts if they are empty so that the notifications are suppressed.
Thank you

By default the forum can be reached on the forums page which is not actually a page.
However, you can also create a page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] .
What is the shortcose for if the forum page already exists?
Thank you
