Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
and you can enable support for that theme.
But here we are not talking about adding new functions to bbpress …. simply that bbpress inherits the style of the theme used as all other plugins do. Now I do not know how to program but I do not think it is a complicated modification / update to do. How is it possible that a component that has more than 100,000 active installations and that is the component used to support bbpress.org which has millions of threads and posts, in 2024 is considered a plugin of little value and with hundreds of wordpress employees does not do this small update.
I’m as frustrated as you are by a lack of development, I’m only trying to explain why it is not happening, I’m not trying to say that I agree with it.
And as far as I can see WordPress views it only as needing development as far as it is the support tool for them.
I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen, trying to keep this product alive
bbpress is the official wordpress plugin and is the one used on bbpress.org as well as being used by thousands of sites.
I’m talking about inheriting at least the font size of the theme in which it is used, nothing exceptional…
not quite, WordPress exists because Automatic who own WordPress run wordpress.com which as a hoster generates income which helps pay for WordPress development. Other contributors to WordPress include wordfence who make money from selling protection to companies.
bbpress has no sponsors at the moment
According to this reasoning wordpress should not exist then.
Here I am not asking for customizations to bbpress. simply that bbpress inherits the theme style, that is, inherits the font size. Buddypress does this so it is absurd that bbpress does not do it.
basic economics –
You using bbpress generates no income for anyone.
bbpress is a wordpress product, so someone has to sponsor a coder to code stuff, ie someone has to pay for this, and unless there is a reason for this, it doesn’t happen.
Take a look at the below link as this works for a logged in user. The three shortcodes should help achieve what you are looking for.
bbp topic count
On wordpress.org when you leave a topic, gutemberg blocks appear, how can I activate them?
Learndash I think hides some stuff, maybe try disabling and see if that is the issue, you can then look at what you need to do there.
If not, then 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!
I am using bbpress with learndash. I’m having a problem, and it’s that when I create a new topic, the message appears in the forum, but all the replies to that message don’t show up in the forum. The notification that there’s a new reply appears, and the reply count is shown, but I can’t see any of the replies. However, in on the WordPress side, they do appear. I’ve tried uninstalling plugins and even changing the theme, but it’s still not working. I don’t now but else to do

I’m not trying to argue with you, just stating my opinion.
If you fancy sponsoring someone to update the plugin, contract WordPress who own it. Otherwise you are just relying on someone writing this for free in their spare time – sorry that’s how it works
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 6.6.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.
But with open software you make your choices….

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
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

When Jetpack is active, when trying to edit a Topic, Forum or Reply, through the WordPress administrative panel with Jetpack active.
An error is displayed below the text editing toolbar.

Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets
you can use the ‘assign groups to roles’ tab to assign WordPress roles such as subscriber to a group on login
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
install
Private groups
then see
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>help
for how to set it up
and
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>topic permissions
in essence set up a group called say ‘fred’
assign the forum to the group ‘fred’
assign your users to the group ‘fred’
Then enable topic permissions
set the forum topic permissions for users to only be able to reply
Admins can then post topics but users only reply
Hello. I hope you are well!
When using jetpack link shortener feature “wp.me”, this feature does not work with jetpack link sharer (whatsapp, facebook, etc)
This was solved with the plugin: “Shortlinks for Jetpack sharing buttons” by Jeremy Herve.
See here:
https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-shortlinks-for-sharing-buttons/
However, the plugin only works natively on standard WordPress posts and pages, on custom post types like Woocommerce, it does not work.
Here’s a way to fix this:
https://jetpack.com/support/wp-me-shortlinks/
As the post type for woocommerce products is “product”, the code looked like this:
add_action( 'init', function () {
add_post_type_support( 'product', 'shortlinks' );
});
It is now possible to share woocommerce products with shortened links using jetpack share buttons.
I would like to know if BBPress is compatible with Jetpack’s sharing feature, and what type of post should I use so that shares can be made using the link shortener as I did above in Woocommerce.
Grateful.
So we are using the most recent WordPress and BBPress versions, along with Twenty Twenty Four template. We were getting the blank page so I installed the BBpress style app as ive seen in other posts. It now shows the forums, but it’s throwing the menus in the header to the left, along with messing up the headers in the footer. How do I fix this?
