This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Hello. I run a site where I use the theme Blog FSE. BBPress does not work with this theme. It works fine with Twentysixteen, for example. Is there any way to solve this so that BBPress can work with Blog FSE so I don’t have to change themes? My knowledge of PHP is low and I have a visual impairment and therefore it is quite difficult to work too much in PHP code.

Latest WordPress and BBPress versions.

To do this without code install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forums Index Styling item 16

or with the code above use

Hello Mr. Robin
This plugin has a problem with not updating and has received a warning:

“This plugin has not been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.”

Will this cause security issues, or problems with the plugin’s functionality, or interference with other plugins, especially with the new version of WordPress, etc.?

I believe this plugin still works if you are using yoast

BBpress Addon For Yoast SEO

[Thomas Baum]

Hey everyone,

I recently started using bbPress to create a small community forum on my WordPress site. As someone who works in digital marketing and SEO, I’m always thinking about how to make my site more search-friendly. But I’m hitting a few roadblocks when optimizing bbPress specifically.

Here are a few challenges I’m facing:

1. My forum topics are showing up in search results, but they’re not ranking well for keywords.
2. I’m worried about duplicate content since bbPress creates multiple URLs for similar content (e.g., user profiles, topics, and replies).
3. I’m not sure how to best configure plugins like Yoast SEO for bbPress. Should I treat forums differently than blog posts?

If anyone has experience dealing with these issues, I’d love to hear how you approached them. Or, if you’ve got tips for general SEO best practices for forums, I’m all ears!

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to learning from this awesome community.

Cheers,
Tom

no need to put the forum within the members area

Just make the forum public, say on a page using the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, or if just one forum then the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] where $forum_id is the id number of the forum.

and anyone member or not will be able to read it.

Then make sure that in

dashboard>settings>forums>Anonymous the tick box is NOT ticked – then only members (those with wordpress accounts) will be able to post.

I’ve read this topic, but it’s still unresolved, so I’d like to ask a new question here.

I’m currently installing and testing it, but it won’t load in the BBPRESS text area. Is there a way to set it?

bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

I used to use WPFORO because I liked its topic suggestions, but it was difficult to make it multilingual, so I went back to BBPRESS.

This plugin hasn’t been updated in 10 years, will it ever be introduced as a core plugin for BBPRESS?

Hi, problem fixed. I am using an external plugin for registration and it was there the problem, I didn’t look at the assigned role on first login inside that plugin. On wordpress and BBPress I had it well configured.
Thank you.

I’m looking to add a creative “broken screen” effect to my bbPress forum. The idea is to make it look like the screen is cracked, either when someone first enters the forum or after performing a specific action.

I’m unsure of the best way to achieve this. Should I use custom CSS or JavaScript to create the effect? Or is there a plugin or feature in bbPress that could help with this?

Any suggestions will be very helpful for me.

Example page: Broken Screen

I’ve explored custom CSS and JavaScript options, and also checked out the following resources:

bbPress

Codex

https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Even after going through these, I’m still unsure of the best way to achieve the effect.

[casperrues1]

I’ve just installed bbPress, but after the installation, I’m getting a white screen when I try to access the forum.

Some things which I have tried so that it get fixed:

Clearing my browser cache
Disabling all plugins (except bbPress)
Checking for errors in the wp-config.php file
Reinstalling bbPress

I’ve checked these resources, but they didn’t resolve the issue:

Codex

Troubleshooting

https://wordpress.org/support/

The white screen still shows up, and I’m not getting any error messages. Has anyone else faced this issue or have any suggestions?

[Robin W]

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi! In setting/Forum I put the role participant to be automatically assigned to every registered visitor, but looks like not being working, because when a new user registers on my website, he/she doesn’t get any role assigned, and I have to do it manually from the dashboard.
Any clue why is did happening?
I am using an external plugin for registration, not the wordpress default option.
Thanks for any help.

Is there a way to import categories from a csv file?

If not I could create the categories on wordpress with the plugin “wp alla import” and then import them on bbpress if there is a way.

I found this read with a plugin but it is old

Bonsoir, j’ai un souci. J’ai créé un forum sur bbpress version 2.6.9 avec WordPress version 6.6.2, cependant lorsque je me rends sur le site pour voir le rendu ça affiche une page blanche. j’ai essayé de désactiver bbpress puis le réactiver mais rien n’y fait. j’utilise xampp server version 8-2-12. J’ai essayé avec les version les plus récentes à savoir bbpress 2.6.11 et wordpress 6.7.1 mais toujours rien. Aidez moi s’il vous plait!

PLZ.. I want to change the logo image for the bbPress forum only, not for the whole WordPress blog.

TIA

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
  $translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

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
