locked the forum down to be under Membership Requests only.

is this a plugin/ a theme or what?

bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so anything that does this for WordPress will work.

you could hook to this to send

user_register

but without knowing how they are registering, difficult to help further.

Come back with further details

Hi folks,

I am currently working with a client who has a bbPress forum on their WordPress install. They have locked the forum down to be under Membership Requests only. This works great, however we are wondering if there is any way we can send the “new user” notification email that admins usually get to specific users/moderators/roles of the forum at all?

Kind Regards
Sam

ok you doing the equivalent of sending me an image of your car engine and expecting me to tell you what the noise it is making is caused by. 🙂 🙂

I would suspect it is theme related, and menus and scroll are theme related.

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

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

[Robin W]

sorry, but that is exactly what we did in

I’m very confused as to why you are posting here?

Hi all,

I’m having white pages issue while I setup a very simple forum on that testing sub-domain:
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/forums/
https://greensquare.c-serp.fr/forums/forum/gestion-de-la-copro/

My current configuration
– WordPress: 6.5.2 – multi-site
– PHP/MySQL: 7.4.30 / 5.5.5
– Theme: TwentyTwentyFour Child
– Enabled extensions: bbPress (2.6.9), WordPress Importer (0.8.2)
– Enabled network extensions: Comet Cache (170220), Error Log Monitor (1.7.7), Fixed Widget (6.2.3), Forum_wordpress_fr (4.2), Solid Security Basic (9.3.2), WP-Sweep (1.1.8), WP Dashboard Notes (1.0.11)

I’ve read several topics including that one (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-topic-pages-on-bbpress-while-using-twenty-twenty-two-theme/) I’ve put the code in my functions.php child, but it didn’t get any better. (I removed it)

But, I’m not too good at geek things, so I’ll appreciate any advices, clues if you read that topic, so I can enjoy testing bbPress extension.

Cheers.

=> Hello, we have identified it’s bbpress bug, So when user click on add new replay and forget to add post title, then it is not saving in database, and giving error.

=> While normally in WordPress, when we create new post and page, if we forget to add post title, then it automatically add title into that post.

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. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress. 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 6.4.x and php 8.2 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.

I am guessing that you are being told by Wordfence, which is telling you based on the fact that the plugin has not been updated, rather than any actual security risk.

But with open software you make your choices….

now added to version 5.9.2

Error:

Thanks in advance

Hello there,

I am using WordPress version 6.5 and bbPress version 2.6.9. This problem has been persisting for us for a while and isn’t an issue with the latest version of WP.

The pagination on our forums is not working. Clicking page 2 on the home page of the forum takes you to the page 2 URL but displays the results from page 1. The same thing happens if you view a topic – it shows only the most recent replies, even when going to page 2, 3, and so on.

Our forums are at https://pharmapreneuracademy.com/groups/the-academy-forum/forum/ but are hidden. Please let us know how we can provide credentials.

What I have tried:

– Checked error logs both in the site back-end and in the console and did not see anything relevant.
– Flushed & disabled the cache
– I disabled all plug-ins and changed the theme to default. This did not fix the issue. This means it isn’t a plug-in/theme conflict.
– Added custom post types to the cache exception rules
– Flushed the permalinks
– Deleted the .htaccess file manually and allowed it to regenerate.
– “Resetting forum slugs to default” in BBpress Forum Tools.

Can you please advise on what the issue might be?

Thanks,
Sky

Hi there,

Wondering if there is any way to create a new bbpress subforum and topic programmatically with php or api or bbpress buildin functions so that I dont have to log into wordpress to do the job?

Thank you!

it is based on a WordPress permission, not bbpress.

Users with HTML Permission will be able to use javascript to do some really horrible things to your site, so as this post says

‘This unfiltered_html permission could be very dangerous in the wrong hands, so please don’t give this permission to any users you do not trust. WordPress has disabled this permission for most users because they rarely need it.’

unfiltered_html

But also shows you how to amend if you want to.

[Robin W]

I’ve moved this to a fresh topic for clarity

can you confirm this is moving bbpress forums/topics/replies from one site to another using the export import within wordpress?

[Robin W]

can you try

add_filter ('bbp_get_statistics', 'rew_count_forums' , 10 , 3) ;

function rew_count_forums ($statistics, $r, $args ) {
	//fix counts for forums to show private forums if user can read them and not error if site is only private forums
	// forums
	if ( ! empty( $r['count_forums'] ) ) {
		$private = bbp_get_private_status_id();
		$all_forums  = wp_count_posts( bbp_get_forum_post_type() );

		// Published (publish)
		$forums['publish'] = $all_forums->publish ;
		$forums['private'] = 0 ;
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) ) {

			// Private
			$forums['private'] = $all_forums->{$private} ;
			
		}
		//now add the two 
		$statistics['forum_count'] = $forums['publish'] + $forums['private'] ;
		}
// Filter & return
return (array) apply_filters( 'rew_count_forums', $statistics, $r, $args );

}

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

the theme is this one

Rules vary around the world, but I’d suggest that allowing users to unsubscribe to all forums/topics without logging in is what you are wanting to achieve. If you did that, then if users want to select which bits they subscribe/unsubscribe to, then they can unsubscribe to all, and then login to select. Forcing login to subscribe is not as far as I know illegal in any country.

So to achieve an unsubscribe to all without login (and given that few people will really use this), I would do the following.

1. install a contact form plugin (if you don’t already have one say contact form 7)
2. then create a contact form that simply has a field asking for email address (text maybe ‘please confirm your email address’, a submit button, and text that on submission says something like ‘thankyou for unsubscribing, you may receive emails for a short period until the unsubscribe process is complete’ On submission, set up the form to send an email to you telling you the email address, and if the plugin allows (contact form 7 does) a second email to the user confirming that you have received the unsubscribe request and re-itrating that they may receive some emails in between.
3. Create an Unsubscribe WordPress page and add the contact form to it.
4. install

bbp style pack

once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
click item 4 to enable custom emails, and in items 7 & 8 add a sentence after “Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe” saying “To unsubscribe from all emails, click here” and have that as a link to the WordPress page.
5. then go into
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>subscription management and turn this on.

Ok so that is all to set it up.

So when a user clicks, he will be taken to that page, asked to confirm his email address, and then they are told in an email what will happen. You will get am email, so then you would go into
dashboard>users>all users and find the user by their email address using the ‘search’. Using the ‘subscriptions’ link under their username, you will see all ghat they are subscribed to, and you can unsubscribe them. If you like, you can then send them a further email confirming that the unsubs cribe process has been successful, or even asking if they want their account deleted – whatever you feel.

These are deprecated errors, meaning that they will become an issue in a later version of PHP, and are not affecting your site at the moment.

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author, the authors are aware that they exist, and if not fixed by them, I will add a fix in my

bbp style pack

when needed

bbpress in native mode does not store images, it allows you to add a link to an image that can be anywhere, but a user would need to create an image and store it where it can be seen by the internet.

There are additional plugins, try
