Thanks – those are deprecation errors from buddypress not bbpress.

I’d suggest you add

BP Classic

and see if that fixes.

If not, raise the issue in

https://buddypress.org/support/

[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

Then come back

Okay this was a quick test.
I deactivated all my plugins accept for bbpress and still ‘Forums’ wasn’t shown in the left navigation bar. I reinstalled wordpress (6.4.3) but still nothing. So I don’t know what is going on, but I think bbpress isn’t compatible with this WP version or something…

[Robin W]

you are using the divi theme

1. I’d suggest you add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support and you’ll see some useful info on serach and profiles

2. it looks like the sub pages are using a different divi template.

this link might help
https://divi.help/threads/bbpress.11376/ or post on that support group or raise with Divi?

I’ve spent a lot of time preparing my website for launch, but I’ve encountered a few roadblocks that I can’t seem to overcome. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Forum URL: https://HeresOurSquirrel.com

Issues:

#1: Sometimes when I sign on, it fails and suggests the page is cached. However, I am not using any caching app.

#2: When registering… (I am using the Ultimate Members plugin — is there any other way to handle this?)

2a) emails aren’t being sent
2b) role isn’t being set (they’re participants, but the role isn’t being set to contributor)
2c) no users are being displayed under the “membership” menu item

#3: When signing on as the admin (“TheSquirrel”) I can’t get to the dashboard… when entering “https://www.heresoursquirrel.com/wp-admin” in the address bar and clicking enter, it just returns to the Forum.

I created two test accounts; One participant, and one keyholder, so if you would like to sign on as either, please DM me and I will provide the sign-on credentials.

Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.

WordPress Current version: 6.4.3
bbPress Version 2.6.9

Thank you in advance!!

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

You may be using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

That work you for you? I was trying to post the code snippets link, but maybe it wouldn’t go through. You can find that plugin on WordPress plugins

[matthewdhuntley]

Thanks for the feedback, @robin-w.

I noticed the anchor element with the class “bbp-glance-users” (from bbpress/includes/admin/metaboxes.php), which appears in the dashboard_right_now/”At a Glance” widget, is exclusively created by the bbPress plugin through the ‘dashboard_glance_items’ WordPress hook. For a multisite, the Users count is coming from the entire network.

I’ve traced the Users count number back to this function (from bbpress/includes/core/abstraction.php):
function bbp_get_total_users() {
$bbp_db = bbp_db();
$count = $bbp_db->get_var( “SELECT COUNT(ID) as c FROM {$bbp_db->users} WHERE user_status = ‘0’” );

// Filter & return
return (int) apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_total_users’, (int) $count );
}

And I was wondering if this could be updated to check if the site is a multisite and then select the Users based on the individual site ID.

Thanks,
Matthew Huntley

[Robin W]

this is WordPress related not bbpress, suggest you post to WordPress support

[matthewdhuntley]

Hi bbPress Folks,

I currently have a WordPress multisite installation with several individual sites. My WordPress version is 5.9.1 and the bbPress version is 2.6.9.

On any given individual site’s WP Dashboard, in the “dashboard_right_now”/”At a Glance” section, the number of users shown is reflective of the total number of users on the entire multisite network, as opposed to the total number of User on the individual site.

When it comes to multisite installations, can the output logic for this Users number be updated to reflect the number of Users for an individual site instead of the entire multisite network?

Thanks very much,
Matthew Huntley

Bonjour,
Je dois transférer un forum bbpress de l’ancien site au nouveau site.
Dans l’ancien site, je n’ai pas les champs forum/sujets/réponses dans le dashboard WordPress, rien qui puisse m’amener dans les paramètres de bbpress (même en passant par la section extension, pas de lien réglage ou paramètre sur bbpress).
J’ai essayé un export/import par csv ça ne fonctionne pas mon forum reste vide sur le nouveau site.
J’ai essayé via le ftp idem.
Comment je peux faire pour récupérer les données du forum et les transférer dans le nouveau ?

En vous remerciant pour votre aide.

Hi,

My theme is creating a featured image on the Topics which I can’t seem to change so I just have a large grey blob square at the top of every topic.

Introduce Yourself

I tried multiple default image wordpress themes and none of them worked.

I can’t add code to display: none because then it takes away the featured posts from the blog section.

Help?

[mikeraine11]

I’ve read that WordPress’s new FSE themes such a Twenty Twenty Four can be an issue with bbPress because bbPress is so out of date (hasn’t been updated in over 2 years, which is very concerning).

However, I am VERY reluctant to change themes. We JUST went through a lot of time and work to rebuild the site after migrating from the old host to WordPress.com because the old custom theme was not compatible with Jetpack. I chose Twenty Twenty-Four because I assumed, as the newest WordPress default theme, that it was the most future-proof and would avoid compatibility issues.

Is there just no way around this issue while keeping the Twenty Twenty Four theme?

[Robin W]

ok, so you definitely have bbpress enabled 🙂

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. don’t use twenty twenty four, as it is an FSE theme

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

Hi,

We recently moved our site from a previous host to WordPress.com, and in doing so updated the site to the Twenty Twenty-Four theme. We use bbPress for discussion forums because it integrates with Memberpress courses.

All was good on the old site, but now bbPress and any mentions of Forums has disappeared from the WP Admin dashboard. I’m double checked that I am a bbPress keymaster, and also installed the bbPress Style Pack plugin, but don’t see anything there that solves my problem. I have also seen some people with a similar issue say that the All in One SEO plugin was the culprit, but that is not installed on the site.

We are running version 6.4.3 of WordPress.

Can anyone please help me get forums working!

Thank you!

[Robin W]

You can build your forum to look however you like, many would complain if this was the only way you could show your forum.

The basic look of the forum is generally determined by your theme, and dependent in theme how you use sidebars.

The widgets on the left are available either in the default bbpress plugin or in

bbp style pack

which will let you style bbpress and add lots of features.

I am trying to replace the titles for Voice and Replies with dashicons like the WordPress forums are styled. I am using the code below, and it works in that it adds the dashicon, but it doesn’t remove the words.

/*topic titles*/
.bbpress .forum-titles {
	overflow: hidden;
}
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-voice-count::before,
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-reply-count::before {
	font: 400 16px/1 dashicons;
	margin-right: 100px;
	-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
	-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

	.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-voice-count::before,
	.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-reply-count::before {
		font: 400 21px/1 dashicons;
		margin-left: 20px;
	}

.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-voice-count::before {
	content: "\f307";
}
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-topic-reply-count::before {
	content: "\f125";
}

.bbpress li.bbp-header li.bbp-forum-info,
.bbpress li.bbp-header li.bbp-topic-title {
	text-align: left !important;
}

/*forum titles*/

.bbpress .forum-titles {
	overflow: hidden;
}
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-topic-count::before,
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-reply-count::before {
	font: 400 16px/1 dashicons;
	margin-right: 100px;
	-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
	-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

	.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-topic-count::before,
	.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-reply-count::before {
		font: 400 21px/1 dashicons;
		margin-left: 20px;
	}

.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-topic-count::before {
	content: "\f307";
}
.bbpress .forum-titles .bbp-forum-reply-count::before {
	content: "\f125";
}

.bbpress li.bbp-header li.bbp-forum-info,
.bbpress li.bbp-header li.bbp-topic-title {
	text-align: left !important;
}

[Robin W]

probably (untested)

add_action ('plugins_loaded' , 'rew_move_reply_button' ) ;

function rew_move_reply_button () {
	remove_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'bsp_display_reply_button' );
	add_action ( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_content', 'bsp_display_reply_button' );
}

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

Never got this working and didn’t have time to fully troubleshoot – since our needs were pretty simple, we moved back to use a custom post type and built-in WordPress comments for our “forum”

[maldiv097]

on the front-end, they just fail quietly, but Add New on the Replies page in admin causes WordPress to fail. Trying to track down what could possibly cause this, because it feels really strange!

I can only suggest the basic fault finding

viz :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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.
