Hi there,
I’m new to this buissness and it’s my turn to explore feasibilities for my chemistry project (am a teacher). Finally it’s about generating questions and answers, a good and possible plugin would be of course bbPress. Following questions:
— is it possible to update an existing bbPress forum by reading data via import?
— an update to be read in only includes the data of the author, the question and the corresponding answer (keyword: new question resp. answer). Are there existing import options for this? Certainly … there are plugins like woocommerce etc, but they seem to me to be almost too much for the simplicity of the problem.
Well, thanks for answers, best regards, Rainer
my project: http://www.chemieaufgaben.ch , bbPress-Version: 2.6.9, wordpress: newest Version
I am just setting up bbPress and when I create a new topic and try to view it, it says “There has been a critical error on this website.”
This was happening with the forum itself at first, too, and I was able to work through that. I am so frustrated by this whole process.
Working with WordPress 5.9.2, bbPress version 2.6.9
Link to the site is http://www.griefhealingsuite.com/forums
We are running a LearnDash education site and have associated bbPress forums with our LearnDash courses. The forum appears correctly on the course page and the user can move to the course forum. But once on the forum there is no link to return to the course. Can such a link be added? If so, how would it be done?
Note that you will not be able to see the course or fourm screens as a non-logged-in user.
WordPress version 5.9.3
bbPress version: 2.6.9
LearnDash version 4.1.0
LD bbPress Integration version 2.2.2

that is a generic warning that bbpress throws up for all software that is not being maintained.
tweaks continues to work fine.
You could change it, but due to WordPress becoming obsessed with blocks, how to get it to work otherwise depends on may factors.
you could try this
Lightweight Sidebar Manager
I’ve not used it
bbpress has custom post types of ‘topic’, ‘reply’ and ‘forum’ – no idea if it will work
If it doesn’t – come back
so the key data is
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /home2/lemonst5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/incs/moderation.php:111
so the plugin ‘moderation-tools-for-bbpress’ is causing the error, from memory the issue is with it running with php8.x.
This plugin is closed and not being updated.
However I have incorporated all that functionality into my style pack plugin, where this error should not occur.
so deactivate the moderation-tools-for-bbpress and delete and then
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation.
Good Moday morning!
I ran the debugging plugin and here is the result:

ok, I cannot say why breadcrumbs are not working for you.
it could be a plugin issue
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

I’ve added an interim fix in
bbp style pack
once activated you will see the first tab ‘Theme Support’ where you can select to fix
I installed bbPress on WordPress 2022 theme and still it shows empty pages. Any work-around found?
not sure if you need to do it that way, would need work beyond free help to see if possible.
This while old still works as far as I know
Inline Image Upload for BBPress
not knowing how your site is set up, and seeing an example – hard to understand quite what you are seeing and want to see.
but try
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates
ok, given all the above, let’s try a different route.
In essence we need to find out exactly what this critical error is, so we need to switch on the error debug, and get to the heart of this.
The easiest way is to use
WP Debugging
You may see lots of errors appear immediately (you may not!), don’t worry most will be trivial ones, but you might want to do this at a quiet time on your site as everyone will then see these.
So what we want is the exact error that you get when you try and post. Copy it, and you can then immediately switch debug back off.
post that back here, and we should be able to progress
Hi,
I have used the same plugins and theme from starting till 1000th topic in my WordPress site. Till 1000th topic and reply, duplicate check for topic and reply were working fine. Later it started to show error and show later the new topics and replies count also not showing up in frontend. Every 2 days once, I need to go to Tools > Forums and Recalculate everything to get frontend topics and replies count.
Will there be any error with WP Cron.? Can you please let me know regarding this too.?
Please help me with this.
Done and I’m back.
I put the results of the health check below. I have been waiting to upgrade to WP 5.9.3. (Problem avoidance syndrome). It doesn’t seem that the two deactivated plugins (that I plan to use in the future) should be causing my problem.
(Also, I noted that a user is able to post blog comment without a problem.)
Hoping you can help me.

You should remove inactive plugins Security
Plugins extend your site’s functionality with things like contact forms, ecommerce and much more. That means they have deep access to your site, so it’s vital to keep them up to date.
Your site has 2 inactive plugins. Inactive plugins are tempting targets for attackers. If you’re not going to use a plugin, we recommend you remove it.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

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.

Hi,
I’m using WordPress 5.9.3 and bbPress 2.6.9.
I have checked the option for “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” in the bbPress settings. However, I don’t see the Subscribe/Unsubscribe button/link above a Forum. I do see the option to subscribe to a Topic when replying to a topic. I’ve tried viewing the forum while logged in with different user roles including Administrator but still no joy.
I have even tried creating my own shortcodes to try and output the subscribe link but it doesn’t output anything. e.g. while in the loop, bbp_forum_subscription_link( array( ‘before’ => ”, ‘subscribe’ => ‘+’, ‘unsubscribe’ => ‘×’ ) )
Is there something I’m missing?
Wordpress version: 5.8.4
Php 8.0.17
https://lemonstograpes.com
Using Twenty-Seventeen theme
Issue: When a user tries to reply to a post, the user gets this error message:
There has been a critical error on this website.
Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.
I do not get this error when I post a reply (I am logged in as an administrator). However, if I log in using the users credentials and try to post a reply, I get the same message the user gets. Please help. I have no idea what to do about this.
Thanks so much!

Hi bbPress community!
I’m setting up a new WordPress + bbPress website, and this website is RTL (Hebrew).
My theme, oceanWP, supports RTL pretty well, and it seems like bbPress plays nicely with RTL in some pages, but in the main forum list it does not.
Here’s my current forums page: https://kehila.tech/forums/
The issue is that the forum name appears on the leftmost part, which is odd in an RTL language.
From what I can tell, the RTL css files are indeed loaded, and indeed after the non-RTL files are loaded, so I’m not sure what went wrong.
I’d appreciate any tips as for what to do! And I’m definitely open to adding some custom CSS if that’ll solve it easily.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As said earlier, I have tried installing the bbpress in a demo wordpress domain. With bbPress, I installed and activated only
1. Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced),
2. Classic Editor,
3. Highlighting Code Block
plugins. Created sample forums with few topics. Later, I have created a username and logged in as a participant and tried to post the same topic and reply (Nothing changed). Topic got posted, it never shown any error such as Duplicate topic detected or Duplicate reply detected. At the end of the slug, it has added -2 and got posted as topic-name-2.
Please help me resolve this issue AEAP.
Keymasters get to see forums, topics and replies in the backend, moderators see topcis and replies
you cannot change your own role.
Is there a ‘keymaster’ set?
only a keymaster can set a keymaster, so if no-one has keymaster you need to install this plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
and you will see the ability to set yourself up again.
Once done, you can decativate and delete the style pack plugin, or maybe use it’s great features 🙂
Hello,
I have a small problem: The links to bbpress are not displayed in the wordpress backend. I have already deactivated all plugins except for bbpress and also changed the theme but the problem persists.
I can also change the forum role for any member – except for the administrator. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
best regards
with bbppress you have wordpress roles and bbpress roles.
since you are not seeing them, and given that you say the bbpress plugin is installed and ACTIVE, then you need to do the instructions above
