I’m not sure if this is an issue with bbPress or BuddyPress; forgive me if I’m posting this in the wrong place. I recently added BuddyPress to my installation which already had bbPress, and I see that when a BuddyPress group has a forum, it’s added to the list of forums like the bbPress ones. Awesome!
However, if I change the description of the BuddyPress group, the bbPress forum list still shows the old description. If I go to Forums > All Forums, I can edit the description which updates the description on the forums list. Is this a bug, or are you supposed to have to update it in two places? Is it allowing for some users to have a different description in bbPress vs BuddyPress?

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.

I am running BBpress with the Highend theme. I have set up the forums and they look great, but the “subscribe” button is missing. “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” is checked in the settings. I assume it’s a theme conflict, but without the forum subscribe button, the functionality for our users is crippled. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks!

ok, so if you are a keymaster then I can only suggest
1. reset the permalinks – dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them.
2. if that doesn’t fix, it could be a theme or plugin issue

Apologies for opening an old thread, given w3 total cache is not ideally suited for caching for BBPRESS – but is good for wordpress, is there an alternative cashing plugin suitable for BBPRESS or is BBPRESS generally best left un cashed ?
Thanks
I’ve done something, but I don’t know what? I think the slugs for the ‘forum’ page may have had a conflict (there was a warning message, but I changed the names), and I think the tabs went missing after I rebuilt the tables, but the tabs have totally disappeared now, and I don’t know how to get them back. Its a backend issue, as its not affecting the front end – you can still get to the forum page
I uninstalled and deleted/reinstalled bbpress, and it hasn’t brought the tabs back.
I’m really worried that if I delete the Buddypress plugin, I will lose my settings and customer lists of Participants. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Private groups
in the settings, create an ‘admin’ group and a ‘user’ group.
use the topic permissions to set this
and then for that forum (you can leave the others alone) , just assign that forum to the admin and user groups and save. You can then use the topic permissions to allow admins to post, but users just to view.
Finally use the ‘assign groups to roles’ tab to give admins the ‘admin’ group and subscribers the ‘user’ group
Hello everyone! I’m working on a online store made with Magento, but it also have a forum created with bbPress and I have to make a modification but it’s the first time when I work with WordPress. After we enter in a discussion, we have the question, the answers and after Similar discussions, topics(topics that are in the same category with the question). Right now we are loading 10, but I need a button bellow and everytime when you press it to load another 10. In content-single-topic.php I have this custom code, that give us the number of similar topics, on the homepage of te category we have 50 discussion on page:
<?php
$direct_parent = $post->post_parent;
if (bbp_has_topics(
array(
'author' => 0,
'show_stickies' => false,
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_parent' => $direct_parent,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page' => 10
)
))
bbp_get_template_part('bbpress/loop', 'topics');
Can someone help me to add more topics on button click with ajax or something like this?
I think you are really looking for some wordpress training. bbpress just uses wordpress login, and the pop up or tooltip type help text you are after is well beyond any free help, and would require extensive site specific coding – sorry.
suspect it might be a another plugin that is adding these (possibly one of mine, but hopefully not!)
so the standard fault finding applies

I used the WP Mail SMTP plugin and it didn’t work. Then I checked the settings and noticed that WordPress uses my admin username for SMTP mail whereas the mail username/password was different. I’ve updated the settings and verification emails started working. Thank you.
Hello,
I currently have this plugin installed onto my website which I plan on updating soon and I would like to know if it is compatible with the latest version of WordPress 5.7.2.
The current version of WordPress I am running is 5.5.5.
ok, try this
add_filter ('bbp_get_time_since' , 'rew_time_since_translate' ) ;
function rew_time_since_translate ($output) {
$output = preg_replace('/years/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/year/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/days/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/day/', 'new word', $output);
return $output ;
}
so change ‘new word’ in each case for what you want to show
you can add as many lines as you need, but always do the plural first so ‘years’ followed by ‘year’
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
Code Snippets
In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.
install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display
and you will be able to enter translations there
Is there a way to remove the widget and just have a page for folks to go to instead?
A potentially quick and easy solution would be to create a page and embed the widget within it. To help with that, you might use this plugin or some other similar one:
Widget Shortcode
(I haven’t used it, and can’t vouch for it…and probably there are also block plugins that do much the same.)
bbpress just uses wordpress.
I’d suggest 2 things
1. test using an email tester eg
WP Test Email
2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

Hi,
I’m testing my new website and found a problem with user registration. When a new user registers (in this case myself using a different email address), the verification email isn’t being send to the user.
I, as an admin receive the email that the user x is registered.
Wondering what could cause this issue? and is there any known fix for this?
