Thanks for joining!
I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out.
Yes, I suspect that there are several places it could be done.
My code above should work (and if you can test it that would be great) , but if you fancy working up a better solution, please post back.
I will happily incorporate it into my bbp-style-pack plugin to save others needing to work out code and/or use child theme functions.
I suspect you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
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
I don’t have any forums on my live sites (anymore), so don’t use akismet, so I’m relying on your better knowledge 🙂
so to save having to repeat bbpress code, the logic might be
add_action ('bbp_new_reply_pre_extras' , 'rew_askimet_check', 100 , 1 ) ; //might need to be run at a high priority to make sure it is last - not tested
function rew_askimet_check ($reply_id) {
//only execute is this is akismet spam
if ( bbp_get_spam_status_id() == get_post_status($reply_id) && !empty (get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_akismet_user_result', true ))) {
//unspam the reply (which takes it back to pending, and within that function runs the update_reply_walker)
bbp_unspam_reply( $reply_id) ;
//and then re-spam it
bbp_spam_reply( $reply_id) ;
}
}
which is actually what I do manually (I click unspam and then click spam on the front end admin) on this site when akismet does this.
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
Very strange, best next step is to see if any plugins are causing a conflict, if the site is not live, disable one plugin at a time and see if the BBPRESS side bar appears
I have lately been notified several times that obviously fake emails have evidently “subscribed” to my Forum. I thought that only approved users could see or subscribe to the forum, or at least I could approve anyone who subscribes. Is there a setting that prevents spammers from subscribing? Thanks.

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?
Interesting, have you activated the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ plugin ?
If so, then go to Dashboard > Settings > bbPress WP Tweaks > BBPRESS Side bar and for ACTION select REPLACE. for TARGET select SIDEBAR WIDGET AREA.
Then the BBPRESS Widgets sidebar should be accessible if you go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > BBPRESS Sidebar
If that does not work, you may ave to try with a different theme
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.
Wordpress – Current version: 6.4.3
BBpress – Version 2.6.9
I use the free version ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ which adds a dedicated BBPress sidebar to all forum pages including any searches.
Its a little outdated, but works well for myself.
My dedicated BBPRESS Sidebar is on the Right:
https://uktechhub.com/forums/forum/mobile/
hope this helps 👍
so set a global sidebar and make this the default
https://wpastra.com/docs/sidebar-free/
and bbpress should use this.
Re allinop.com
1. I have tried using bbpress style pakc to remove the words ‘creator’ ‘topic’ that are above every reply to no avail (bbstylepack > topic/reply display > 10. > 0px , but this did not work
2. I used bbstyle pack to disable all breadcrumbs. An unintended side effect is that topic titles also got removed. (now breadcrumb disable has been deselected).
Are there any css solutions for the above?

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/
bbpress dashboard not working. and some errors show in home page.
here is video link discribe the problem
bbpress dashboard not working
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sgTIptA-flUxGz__AP0BQHvK3wBHDMIo/view?usp=sharing
Website: Allinop.com
Text editor is not appearing.
I use Generatepress with bbpress, bbstyle pack.
I selected text editor via bb stylepack plugin
I tried the classic editor with no success.
Re: Website: allinop.comI have used the following css to modify the [bbp-topic-index]
.bbp-topic-voice-count,
.bbp-topic-reply-count,
.bbp-topic-freshness { /* Hides elements related to voice count, reply count, and topic freshness */
display: none;
}
.avatar-14 { /* Hides avatars with the class "avatar-14" */
display: none !important;
}
.bbp-search-form { /* Hides the bbPress search form */
display: none;
}
I have 2 issues:
Firstly, the topic titles do not take the entire horizontal space.
It is as if the hidden elements still occupy the space.
I have tried ‘hidden: none’ instead ‘display: none’ to no avail.
Secondly, I’ve been trying to also remove the border around the list of latest topics.
I have unsuccessfully tried:
.bbp-topic {
border: none;
}
and
.bbp-topic {
outline: none;
}
I would be grateful for any ideas.

You are right, I was no keymaster anymore.
Which is special, since I’m the webdeveloper and installed the plugin and so.
Now I’m keymaster again, I can also check the user data.
So thanks for your help Robin!
bbpress should pay you for all the work you do for them!
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…
I’ve been using you pack for my forums, they are a must. bbpress is dropping seriously behind nowadays. I used to use SMF and it started lagging, then I switched to bbpress and it starts to lag (and SMF started to thrive with a new version!). I feel like the fricking forum-jinxer.
I’ve spilt this off to a separate topic, as it is a specific site issue.
so is this a new installation of bbpress, or a new issue on an existing one?
