How do I create a search function for my bbPress forum?
I have enabled “Allow forum wide search” in Settings>Forums – but now I need a forum search input box.
I do have bbPress style pack which will let me change the style of it, but need the search box first.
WP version 5.8.1 (Astra theme) – bbPress 2.6.6 – site https://gillianriley.com
Thank you.
you need to be a keymaster to see forums in the dashboard – check your settings
dashboard>users
If you are not, then you need to get a keymaster to set you up.

I am in editor mode, I have installed bbpress. I was expecting to see the forum on the sidebar. It was showing but has disappeared.
THe plugin is activated..
Yes, RankMath. Is that what’s generating the meta description? I though (perhaps naively) that bbpress did that.

Hello, so I’m new to bbpress and WordPress as a whole and as I’ve been trying to set up our site’s forum, I’ve come across the following caveats:
– the profile page that we’re linked to upon clicking a user’s name links us to a profile page that doesn’t let us upload avatars nor keeps proper track of engagements, subscriptions and favorited topics. Is there a known fix for this? Is this a known bug at all? And if I happen to find a better user profile plugin, is there any way I can link the forum’s usernames to that instead of bbpress’ own profile page?
thanks in advance.
Thank you for your response. My problem is this: I can change how many forum topics appear in a forum in the bbPress administration panel. This is working. For example “show 20 topics on one page”
However, this feature does not work for the number of answers.
This feature does not work even though I set it to show 20 replies on a page. I’m currently seeing 38 replies in one topic, one page.
I was able to figure out that it had to do with reply threading not being properly imported, which may have had to do with the fact that reply threads weren’t enabled on the bbPress end at the time of import. So the newest reply would show up in the middle of the thread, because all of the replies that after that one were I guess orphaned replies to previous ones.
I was able to solve this by manually editing each of the replies and setting its parent. I think that threads that began after the import, as well as threads that have not been replied to since the import won’t be affected, only the ones that were active before and after. So I’ll monitor the forums and fix the reply hierarchy of any resurrected threads
wish I had a dollar for every elementor question.
If your using the ‘hello’ theme try this
Hello theme Elementor bbPress template fix
or maybe
bbPress
\includes\replies\template.php
line 127
function bbp_has_replies
but be aware -lots of plugins filter this.

Hi guys,
First time experiencing BBPress and I like it!
It’s almost great for my new forum website but I miss one thing : search page.
When looking for a keyword , results are kinda broken
Check it out :
1) https://i.imgur.com/YaLEwBU.png
2) https://i.imgur.com/6oXZFE6.png
I think something is missing in bbp-search template somehow. I use elementor (and set a Search result template in it).
Do you guys have any clue to help me fix this?
Thanks a lot
I’d like to hide the whole “Account” section from a user’s BBpress Profile Edit interface (Username, Email, password, language fields).
Can anyone advise the best way to do this?
I use the BuddyX-PRO theme on the live-site. I tested BBPress with the free BuddyX theme and all parts were translated.
I’ve contacted WBcom again, after they told me last week it was an issue of BBpress.
Thanks for your help.
GD bbPress tools (only for quotes), Image upload for bbpress pro, and bbp private groups, nowhere have I modified reply orders
hmmm…are you using any other bbpress related plugins?
Currently the meta description for bbpress is limited to the text up to the first line break. This means that for a forum post like this (https://300hours.com/f/careers/t/representation-of-cfa-on-a-level-1-failed-candidates/), the meta description is just [Hi guys,], which isn’t great and generates a lot of duplicate meta descriptions.
I’m trying to correct this by using a PHP snippet to counter this, basing it from a snippet I found (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-include-a-meta-description-and-keywords-in-bbpress-without-a-plug-in/#post-80944), but I’m not having a lot of luck so far. Is there a filter that can tell the meta description to not stop at line breaks and apply this to only forum posts (i.e. not affect ‘regular’ WP posts)?
Thanks in advance for any help given!!!
Hi, I’m having a strange problem where the order of replies is mostly right, but in a majority of the threads there is a recent reply or two that appear in the middle of the thread. Particularly affected are question / answer type threads where there are only two posts, but the order is flipped. I ran the “recalculate position of each reply in each topic” tool, but it didn’t seem to help. I have about 50,000 posts in my forum, does this need to be run multiple times? I worry about doing so because of the overhead.
For additional background, this was a drupal 7 forum that was imported over to bbpress 2 weeks ago, but the affected replies are from both before and after the import.
Using the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress.
It seems to be a real struggle to create a new custom role for bbpress 🙁
I’ve been trying out all the different solutions I’ve found online but nothing is working.
All I want to do is to be able to assign the role of Naturopath to some of my forum participants. They would have the same capabilities as the Participant role, just have Naturopath instead of Participant showing under their name in the Forum. The rest of the Participants can continue to show “Participant”.
Can anyone here maybe write the code for me as a paid job?
I have WP 5.8.1
bPress 2.6.6

Ok, i found, just using BBPress Style Plugin! 🙂
“Warning: Undefined variable $reply_author_id in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php
The plugin causing this is bbpress-notification not bbpress, suggest you post on their support forum
Hi,
I can upload a picture without any problems as an admin of the site. But when the user wants to upload a picture this happens: After submitting they are sent to a page with the failure text saying:
“Warning: Undefined variable $reply_author_id in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php on line 377 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1340 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1343”
If the user then goes one page back, and is on the forum page where the image should be (still not showing as uploaded) and refresh the page, then the picture is there. Just to underline. I have tried deactivating all other plugins, but it still happens and my web supporter cant solve it either. What to do?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I’m finding that Naturopath is showing as forum role on the user’s wordpress profile, but only for a short while. WordPress changes it back to Participant after it appears to have saved.
Participant is showing in the bbpress profile and under the username for their topics and comments in bbpress.
