it is based on a WordPress permission, not bbpress.
Users with HTML Permission will be able to use javascript to do some really horrible things to your site, so as this post says
‘This unfiltered_html permission could be very dangerous in the wrong hands, so please don’t give this permission to any users you do not trust. WordPress has disabled this permission for most users because they rarely need it.’
unfiltered_html
But also shows you how to amend if you want to.
I’ve moved this to a fresh topic for clarity
can you confirm this is moving bbpress forums/topics/replies from one site to another using the export import within wordpress?
can you try
add_filter ('bbp_get_statistics', 'rew_count_forums' , 10 , 3) ;
function rew_count_forums ($statistics, $r, $args ) {
//fix counts for forums to show private forums if user can read them and not error if site is only private forums
// forums
if ( ! empty( $r['count_forums'] ) ) {
$private = bbp_get_private_status_id();
$all_forums = wp_count_posts( bbp_get_forum_post_type() );
// Published (publish)
$forums['publish'] = $all_forums->publish ;
$forums['private'] = 0 ;
if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) ) {
// Private
$forums['private'] = $all_forums->{$private} ;
}
//now add the two
$statistics['forum_count'] = $forums['publish'] + $forums['private'] ;
}
// Filter & return
return (array) apply_filters( 'rew_count_forums', $statistics, $r, $args );
}
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
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. 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 6.4.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….
Will the plugin be updated?
i bought a wordpress theme and it comes packed with bbpress as an important part of the theme.
i´d like to know because i´m about to cancel my subscription with the theme that comes with bbpress
the theme is this one

thanks!!
Rules vary around the world, but I’d suggest that allowing users to unsubscribe to all forums/topics without logging in is what you are wanting to achieve. If you did that, then if users want to select which bits they subscribe/unsubscribe to, then they can unsubscribe to all, and then login to select. Forcing login to subscribe is not as far as I know illegal in any country.
So to achieve an unsubscribe to all without login (and given that few people will really use this), I would do the following.
1. install a contact form plugin (if you don’t already have one say contact form 7)
2. then create a contact form that simply has a field asking for email address (text maybe ‘please confirm your email address’, a submit button, and text that on submission says something like ‘thankyou for unsubscribing, you may receive emails for a short period until the unsubscribe process is complete’ On submission, set up the form to send an email to you telling you the email address, and if the plugin allows (contact form 7 does) a second email to the user confirming that you have received the unsubscribe request and re-itrating that they may receive some emails in between.
3. Create an Unsubscribe WordPress page and add the contact form to it.
4. install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
click item 4 to enable custom emails, and in items 7 & 8 add a sentence after “Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe” saying “To unsubscribe from all emails, click here” and have that as a link to the WordPress page.
5. then go into
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>subscription management and turn this on.
Ok so that is all to set it up.
So when a user clicks, he will be taken to that page, asked to confirm his email address, and then they are told in an email what will happen. You will get am email, so then you would go into
dashboard>users>all users and find the user by their email address using the ‘search’. Using the ‘subscriptions’ link under their username, you will see all ghat they are subscribed to, and you can unsubscribe them. If you like, you can then send them a further email confirming that the unsubs cribe process has been successful, or even asking if they want their account deleted – whatever you feel.
These are deprecated errors, meaning that they will become an issue in a later version of PHP, and are not affecting your site at the moment.
I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author, the authors are aware that they exist, and if not fixed by them, I will add a fix in my
bbp style pack
when needed
bbpress in native mode does not store images, it allows you to add a link to an image that can be anywhere, but a user would need to create an image and store it where it can be seen by the internet.
There are additional plugins, try
Inline Image Upload for BBPress
These errors are as you say not bbpress errors, but ones related to a different plugin.
You will need to post in
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/follow-bbpress/
although with on 10 users and no update for 4 years, I suspect it is not actively suppprted
bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so it is likely that no emails are working.
Use the test in that plugin I sent to see if they are leaving your site
I suspect you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

Is there any way to change the BBPRESS Topics and Posts default menu listing to show an icon/image instead ?
I have seen a couple of BBPRESS forums (https://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/) that achieve this, but no idea how ?
Thanks
Wordpress: 6.4.3
bbPress: 2.6.9
Our site uses bbPress forums with a fairly large amount of traffic. We use Akismet for spam protection and it works reasonably well. The only issue is that a topic’s last active time updates even if the submitted comment is detected as spam. As a result, some old topics that have had spam comments posted into them, invariably find their way to the top of the forum, with no (visible) new content inside, which is annoying. Due to the size of the forum and the amount of traffic, retriggering the last active time calculation is somewhat unfeasible. My question is, is there a way to hook into bbPress internal functions and just prevent the $last_active_time from updating if the reply is already detected as spam?
ok, not much i can do without seeing it, but 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

Hi there,
Forum replies are displaying with the incorrect timestamp. All replies to a topic are shown with the timestamp for when the topic was created, rather than when the actual comment was made.
I have the bbp style pack plugin, but can’t see a way to fix this here.

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/
it could be a theme or plugin issue

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…
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.
