I’m guessing the answer is no, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of a plugin, etc, that would give users a notification on the website that they had a reply to one of their replies. This is a fairly common feature of internet forums. From what I can tell bbPress only has the posibility for email notifications. Personally I like email, but for the project I’m working on now, they aren’t a good communication method.
I’ve looked through the plugin repository and haven’t found anything. It seems like this is something more along the lines of BuddyPress, but I wanted to ask here before I go down that rabbit hole. I really don’t want any of the social aspects of BP, so if that was the only solution I would have to end up disabling most of the features (which would be fine if it got me what I needed).
As an aside, I wanted to acknowledge all the folks who are continuously active on this forum and work to support the project. I imagine there is lots of traffic from users like me who are trying to get things setup for their specific project and need to make lots of requests for features that just aren’t a part of the core plugin and likely never will be. But without the support of the core forum members, there would be little success with the plugin at all. So thank you!
Hi there,
I am using a plugin that displays my forum statistics, and after talking to the developer about a translation that is not showing as expected, he replied “My plugin get’s roles from bbPress, it has no influence on the translations for them, and if the bbPress function sends them without translation, there is not much I can do about it.”
Does anyone have any idea how bbpress can “send a function WITH translation”?
My regards,
Ludovic
Yes, I’m definitely after a lock rather than a deterrent.
I’m going on the assumption that http requests for bbpress content returns a url with a path that has ‘forums’ in that position.
What are the ways that non-members can access content outside of that condition?
ie, what are the other conditions that I have to protect against?
Hi,
I’ve installed bbpress and made myself Keymaster.
When I start forums, topics and reply, however, my email is being shown, not my username.
This doesn’t seem to be the case with other people who have registered and posted.
Is this typical and can this be changed so my username shows up?
I think I found the solution 🙂 :
<?php
/**
* Single Forum Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php //bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php //bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php if(bbp_get_forum_id() === $forum_id = 513): ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'rules' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>
</div>
I tried another method but no way bbp_forum_id only displays the forum id.I tried with I tried with “bbp_get_forum_id” that doesn’t work either.
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php //bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php //bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php if(bbp_forum_id() === '513'): ?>
<?php echo 'yes'; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

How can I restrict all forum content to members only?
I know that this is an oft-discussed topic, but I have yet to find a satisfactory solution.
I want to have a website that has public content and a private forum.
All posts and pages will be private – except for all forum content.
‘bbPress Members Only’is a great and mature solution, but it bars access to all posts and pages except for a few defaults.
Many membership plugins exist, including free ones. I could use one of those, but they not designed for this specific purpose. As such they require configuration for this specific case. This could work, but there are risks to privacy when configuring and updating a general-purpose plugin.
I found a plugin (sorry, can’t remember the name) that does most of what I want, but it leaves topic archives exposed. I think the point of that was that it allows a forum to advertise its content. This is the opposite of what I want.
The approach that I’m about to experiment with will be a programmatic one:
In PHP I will parse the URL. If the URL contains the string ‘forums’, then I’ll redirect the request to a gatekeeping page.
In the meantime, if anyone can tell me about an approach or a plugin that I’ve missed, then please let me know.
if you are using the ‘hello’ theme, then this plugin helps
Hello Elementor bbPress fix
WP 5.8.1 bbPress 2.6.6
Can the bbPress Forum 2.6.6 version be used with Elementor and or does it have a shortcode so that we can embed the forum onto an existing page.
Thanks

I am very unclear as to what you are trying to achieve.
if you want one forum say forum id 12345 to display differently, then just amend content-single-forum to
<?php
$forum_id = bbp_forum_id() ;
if $forum_id = '12345' {
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
else {
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

and change whichever display you want
Hi @robin-w,
thanks for your reply!
I managed to reproduce my problem:
I created a WordPress instance on wptaste.com, reinstalled the essential bbpress plugins as well as Elementor Pro and Astra Pro, trying to redo my settings by hand, the error did not reproduce , I then exported my settings from the original site to re-import them into the test site and there I got the error.
So I set out to reset my settings in Astra Pro and then redo them by hand, and now everything is back to normal.
I didn’t understand what it was, but I was able to isolate it and find a solution that didn’t take your time.
Thanks for putting me on the trail!
Best regards,

you could try method 2 in this
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
it might work, it might not 🙂
method 2 is picking up on the page template file in your theme, this is theme dependant.
If you can give us a link to a live example of method 1, and a non bbpress page in your site that has borders, I’ll try and help further.
Hi there 👋
I followed this step by step guide
👉 https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page
And I’m annoyed with one quirk that I can’t seem to resolve: My borders aren’t showing!
With method # 1 my borders disappear and with method # 2 everything is normal.
How can I fix this please?
My regards,
Ludovic
Hi,
I just did something similar for Rank Math SEO plugin:
/**
* Sets bbPress user profile pages to noindex
*
* @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
if (!bbp_is_single_user_profile()) {
return $robots;
}
unset( $robots['index']);
$robots['noindex'] = 'noindex';
return $robots;
});
Cheers
This whilst old still works well
bbPress – Moderation Tools
I have the same question. I am using bbPress as an integration with Profile Builder Pro. Has this question been answered yet?
ok, the line
echo esc_html__( 'You must be logged in to create new topics.', 'bbpress' ) . ' <a href="' . esc_url( thim_get_login_page_url() ) . '">' . esc_html__( 'Login here', 'bbpress' ) . '</a>';
is doing the Login Here
This line chooses the location from a setting in your theme thim_get_login_page_url()
so I suspect it is as simple as changing that setting to the page you want it to say, so look at your theme settings
If that doesn’t work, come back

can you have a look at your parent theme to see if it has a folder ‘bbpress’ with form-topic.php
in it
Hi Robin!
Thanks for your quick reply and assistance. But there’s only one major challenge (at least to me) I am currently facing, which I’ll describe below:
Re: — “Then amend this file to take out the current form and put in a link”
I get the “what” to-do part (i.e. amending file…, creating a folder in my child theme, etc) but as for the “how?”, I have absolutely no idea. In all humility, I make no pretense of familiarity with php syntax or anything php code-related.
I see the <form>….</form> tags in my file below, should I remove it all and place https://mydomain.com/login?
<?php
/**
* User Login Form
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php bbp_wp_login_action( array( 'context' => 'login_post' ) ); ?>" class="bbp-login-form">
<fieldset class="bbp-form">
<legend><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></legend>
<div class="bbp-username">
<label for="user_login"><?php esc_html_e( 'Username', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
<input type="text" name="log" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_login', 'text' ); ?>" size="20" maxlength="100" id="user_login" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="bbp-password">
<label for="user_pass"><?php esc_html_e( 'Password', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
<input type="password" name="pwd" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_pass', 'password' ); ?>" size="20" id="user_pass" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="bbp-remember-me">
<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="forever" <?php checked( bbp_get_sanitize_val( 'rememberme', 'checkbox' ) ); ?> id="rememberme" />
<label for="rememberme"><?php esc_html_e( 'Keep me signed in', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
</div>
<?php do_action( 'login_form' ); ?>
<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">
<button type="submit" name="user-submit" id="user-submit" class="button submit user-submit"><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>
<?php bbp_user_login_fields(); ?>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
My question is and where do I amend this form-user-login.php file with my login url https://mydomain.com/login/?
If given a blueprint, I can certainly reproduce the steps faithfully when dealing with a similar issue
Can you (or anyone willing) please pinpoint the parts/lines to modify with the url? Thanks so much in advance.
Thanks, Robin
I set up bbPress on my other site, which runs the Karuna theme (https://www.in2itmusic.net/forums/topic/taize-or-celebration/), and it shows up correctly. It seems that something in the Native Church theme is causing the issue. I’ll contact their support.
Thanks again for looking into this!
Chris
I took a look at this, but cannot see what is causing the issue
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
