I forgot to mention, I use the widget (BBPRESS- Recent replies) which work well but am looking o achive the same results via a MENU drop down (shortcoode) or simular hyperlink.
I use the following to show latest Topics – https://uktechhub.com/forums/view/latest-topics/
Looking o achieve simular for Replies ?
I am looking to achieve ( I think) what does not work on the https://bbpress.org/forums/new-topic/ page currently ?
On the left of this page is a Tab named Feeds, both ‘All Recent Posts’ and ‘All Recent Topics’ which do not work
I am ideally looking at a way to list recent replies / posts without limiting the search to newest post per Topic ?
I’m a newbie with code and web implementation, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. My readers have reported the following: “I’ve been trying to be able to post on your forum. I have a wordpress account, which I use to try to log in. After that it takes me to a jetpack and wordpress site, which Makes me put in my info again. But when I do, it then it takes me back to the original jetpack/wordpress page.”
Here is the forum:
Forum *new*
And yet they can make comments on my site with ease:

I installed bbPress using this slug: [bbp-forum-index]
What am I missing? Thanks ahead!
I understand, you have been a great help already by telling me that the problem was not with bbpress, as a user and not being dev, it is sometimes difficult to argue when we are answered in a hurry. I reported the information to Milan, and he agreed to review his copy 🙂
Thanks @robin-w for your reply!
The dev is Milan, and the plugin GD bbPress Toolbox.
I turn to him to understand more.
sorry, just re-read this properly, and you are falling between 2 stools. It is not a bbpress issue, bbpress uses translations to display the correct names in languages. That the other plugin developer has decided not to is not really a bbpress issue.
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' ); ?>
</div>
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 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 } ?>
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?
