I just found out this issue too, and it breaks all of my pages. All pages now has a bbpress body class.

I kind of need an urgent fix – any code that I can add to fix it for now?

[regnalf]

I use the bbpress body class to design the forum (especially the background).
With the last update, however, the error may have slipped in that the “bbpress” body class is also included on other pages even if it is not a bbpress page! They are now also styled with CSS although they should not!

I also use the bbpress style pack and the private groups plugin. But the error occurs even if these two plugins are disabled.

[AdventureRidingNZ]

Yeah, the BBPress release info, and BBPress itself seems to be the neglected son of WordPress.

[OSCOWP]

Since I updated to 2.6.7 only appears now the visual but not the HTML…

WHY?

[dusemedia]

According to the documentation, the code below enables paste as plain text in the visual editor:

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

It works fine when using the full visual editor, enabled by this code:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

But paste as plain texts does not work when using the Teeny editor, enabled with this code:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

Does anyone have a snippet to enable paste as plain text when using the Teeny editor?

Sorry you can close this topic, I resolved It by remove lazy load.
I don’t know why, but the problem become only when BBPress 2.6.7 is active, (i disable It and all works), but If I remove lazy load Works again also with BBPress 2.6.7.

Thanks Renzo

I did refer to them and they said that I should find out what metadata was needed by BBPress, and make sure that was added when the form was submitted.

I researched the docs here and found that I needed to include _bbp_forum_id and _bbp_topic_id. So, the replies were being posted to the correct forum and topic, but they weren’t showing up on the front end of the forum. I read elsewhere in this forum that the post_parent had to be updated, so I did that using a code snippet.

But, the problem is that I am missing something for BBPress. Gravity Forms and the extension are working properly, but something is missing in BBPress until I update the topic from the back end.

[Ai Roux]

Even with using the troubleshoot feature:
Settings : only bbPress is active:

The settings submenu:

And bbPress says it’s 100% translated, so I don’t think it’s a trouble with a lacking sentence/word.

[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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[tonygao]

I found the error in debug.log as below:

“blacklist_keys” option key has been renamed to “disallowed_keys”. in //public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5495

I traced it back to bbpress

[1] => Array
(
[file] => /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php
[line] => 883
[function] => get_option
)

This error happens when I edit topic and save it.

Please help to fix it, thank you!

Hi there,
I’m pretty new with wordpress and bbpress, and I can’t find the setting I need.
I want that new users automaticaly got the subscriber role on my site (done, general setting) and also the bbp_participant role.

How can I do that ? Thanks by advance.

Kind regards

Is there a guide to migrate a forum from Simplepress to bbPress?

[pluckvermont]

So our site typically has minimal users, myself and a few admins. We login properly and make the edits to the site.

We have a forum set-up coming online. Our registrants to the forum will get an email when they register. They’ll register from the bbpress shortcode I included on a page.

Instead of saying “Welcome the forum”, the email they receive says New User Registration.
The URL it provides is the /wp-login, not the page with the bbpress login shortcode. It’s a default WP registration and login.

I’d liked to customize emails going to forum registrants that are specific to the forum.

Does that make sense?

Thx–

[dalton125]

I think this post belongs in the “Development” forum, but that forum has a message saying that it’s closed to new posts. Let me know if there’s a better place for my question.

I’m trying to create a navigation sidebar for users to navigate my bbPress forum. I’ve seen WordPress themes with a navigation sidebar for blog posts which has a list of months and years, as in:

August 2021
September 2021
October 2021

And clicking any of those list items will show the user any blog posts created in the given month. This is what I’d like to emulate with bbPress — a sidebar with links to different months, and clicking the link will show the user all forum topics created in that month.

Does anyone have advice on how to do this? I’ve looked through the bbPress settings and even installed the bbp style pack plugin, but I can’t find a setting that will do what I’m trying to do. Is there a plugin or setting that I’ve missed? I don’t mind writing code to solve this problem, but I’m a PHP beginner so I’m not sure where to begin.

I’m using WordPress 5.7.2 and bbPress 2.6.6. I don’t have a live version of my site to show.

[Robin W]

bbpress simply users WordPress registration, so any WordPress registration plugin will work.

just google ‘wordpress registration plugins’

[pluckvermont]

Hi,

I am trying to customize the registration email for BBpress. Is there an easy way to do this?
Looking through this forum, I understand the email is generate by the WordPress Core.

Is there a plugin? I’d just like to redirect people to the actual forums, and not our site’s homepage.

TIA–

[maksanse]

Thank you Robin for this so quick answer 🙏

I already use your awesome plugin + additional shortcodes (thanks a lot).
But it doesn’t allow me to get (and use) the information “Is there any topic to read for this user ?” so that I use it in my menu…

By reading this post : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/get-topics-of-subscribed-to-forums/
I ask myself if there is a way to make a function that :

1) get the subscribed forums html
2) check if there is the “unread” tag in this html
3) return YES or NO (or best : the number of “unread” occurences)

Do you think this is feasible ?

[Robin W]

dev work is ongoing in bbpress – see

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/report

but bbpress authors chose to release sparingly.

there are a good many additional plugins that do lots of things to add functionality to bbpress

[OSCOWP]

Why no more updates?

If there are thousands of forums using this platform why does it feels like it’s abandoned?

Bbpress is good but not perfect, there are a lot of things that can be improved and we have no news for a new release.

[Robin W]

I’ve been kicking this round from time to time in an effort to get to a solution.

This is close to what you want I hope

download this file, unzip and FTP to your child theme’s bbpress folder

Taxonomy like search

sorry, you’ll need to kick this round yourself if you want to alter layout, but it should be close

[SRD75]

Hi Folks,

Our BBpress forum author page (example) is not set within a container, it is 100% width.

Additionally, it is not using the Divi Theme builder global header and global footer, nor is it responding to Divi Theme Options > Custom CSS.

Help appreciated.

Hi, is it possible to send an email to forum subscribers on every new topic or new reply?

Versions
WP: 5.8.2
bbPress: 2.6.6
BuddyPress: 9.1.1

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot replicate – might be a multisite issue, might not.

all I can suggest further is the standard advice :

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

[Jan]

Fair enough Robin.

Any thoughts on how to connect to to bbpress authors directly on this?
