Hello
I have a site with WordPress block theme 2025 and create forum by bbPress in it.
I need a Edit profile link of user in bbPress to put it in the menu or footer so user can access his bbPress profile not WordPress profile.
Can someone help me.
Thanks before
Yes there is a WordPress page called “forums”
(The page title is “Personal Ads & Forum” but when clicked the URL is mydomain/forums)
Twenty Sixteen theme.
so you have no WordPress page called ‘forums’ ?
and what theme are you using?
sounds like a wordpress rather than bbpress issue.
The first thing I would do is install wordfence, and get it to notify you whenever an admin logs on, and possibly also when a non admin logs on
wordfence>all options>email alert
I’d also run a scan to see if wordfence detects any issues with themes plugins and files
I’d then switch on brute force protection to lock out repeated attempts
wordfence>all options>brute force protection
This might help you work out when and how.
how many users do you have? how many are admins? how many are moderators?
If you install
bbp style pack
then this has a fix for the buddypress errors
Hi,
Spammers are able to add pingbacks to my forum even though this is disallowed (in blog settings). So they are not logged-in users who are adding spam comments to a topic, but they are externally able to “comment” on the forum itself.
My site is a dating site, so has a sub forum “Personals”
The URL takes the form …
domain/forums/forum/personals
They can add pingbacks to this “Personals” sub-forum which display below (ie. outside) the forum as, for example …
“3 Thoughts on Personals” :
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)
Any help would be appreciated in solving this.
It’s not a new issue, has been on my site for several years.
bbpress 2.6.9
wordpress 6.0.9
buddypress 10.6.4
ok, so that error tells you it is a problem with the plugin gd-topic-polls
'call to undefined method xxxx in ...public_html/wp-content/plugins/gd-topic-polls'
That plugin is not written by bbpress and
GD Topic Polls: plugin for WordPress and bbPress Forums
says that the free version it is no longer being maintained.
There is a paid version at
https://www.dev4press.com/plugins/gd-topic-polls/
and if you have bought that version, then you need to raise a support ticket with them.
If you have the free version, then if you want to continue to use this plugin, you would need to buy the paid version
many sites will not wish you to even know that the topic exists, so throwing a 404 error is the default way.
You can set where to send private topics using
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails item 2
Until the bbpress authors (basically WordPress who own bbpress) decide to support block themes, then style pack is the only way i have come across.
Hi
I’m using BBPress with BuddyPress in a WordPress site with MicroOffice theme. We’ve notice recently that the BuddyPress Activity Feed is no longer updating when someone Favourites a Forum post inf BBPress. I’ve tried turning off all other plugins to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas please?
When I add a post to one of our forums (and press submit) it looks like it hasn’t uploaded but if you open another tab with the same forum in it – the new post is there. Do you know why this would be happening? It does mean that we sometimes get duplicate posts. We are also using MemberPress (if that’s relevant). Many thanks
WordPress version: 6.6.2
bbPress version: 2.6.11

Hi, enjoy your meal if you’re still in your kitchen :).
After exporting everything and doing a fresh install I installed WP then the theme then bbpress it was OK.
I then imported everything with the wordpress tool it’s OK.
Hello, I would like to prevent the creation of a forum with an existing name on BBpress, I do use it on my wordpress project. The forum is create on the admin panel.
Thanks for your help
We had a PHPBB many years ago, which we migrated to bbPress around four years ago, but it seems some flags remained in the database for the whole time, flags like (_bbp_class, _bbp_old_user_id, _bbp_password, _bbp_phpbb_user_avatar, _bbp_phpbb_user_sig). They might be needed; I have no idea.
But after the last update of WP and all the plugins, all the migrated users started to get an error message instead of being able to log in:
{“success”:false,”data”:[{“code”:”bbp_converter_db_connection_failed”,”message”:”Database connection failed”}]}
After some debugging and searching, I found https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3419#no0 and tried to remove _bbp_class, which helped 🙂
I just needed to wipe the SQLite Object Cache because it kept the old data. It might happen to someone else in the future, I don’t know. I don’t know if you can somehow influence that this metadata is not stored there or something else. But at least you have the information that it might happen.
I have the plugin BBpress that allow me to create a forum on the admin panel on wordpress, the form is basic I just have to tape a name and pusblished it. Forum > Add new > tape the name > published and my forum is create. I also have a taxonomy forum that is linked to the user for that I do use the plugin User Taxonomy & Directory.
there are options for ‘submitting’ and a spinner in
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form>option 5
Astra needs a fix for bbpress to work
Install

Hi there, here is my site: https://www.masters-of-photography.com/forums/
Note that the individual forum link goes to a blank page: https://www.masters-of-photography.com/forums/photography/
And the individual topics links also go to a blank page: https://www.masters-of-photography.com/forums/topic/what-types-of-cameras-do-youtubers-use/
BBPress Version 2.6.11
WordPress 6.6.2
Running a custom child theme of Astra.
bbPress has been translated into many languages. See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/
Is there a cookie I can set to make bbPress dynamically switch from say the English language to the French language?
I have a website in several different languages.
ok, all I can suggest is the standard fault finding…
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
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…
