I am just a bbpress user who helps out here – I have no power to change code. I can log a defect, but I’ll only do that if I can also see an issue
there are many additional plugins which add functionality to bbpress, just as there are for almost all the popular wordpress plugins (eg woocommerce, contact form 7 etc. all have a host of additional plugins)
Just add style pack and enjoy 🙂
I presume by settings, you mean the plugin settings option. The “bb style pack” you mention isn’t listed. Fact, all I have is one option that says “Forum Theme Packages” which lists the one default template. (I also checked the settings where writing / reading / discussion is shown, but again, nothing found)
I have (sort of) solved it via a plugin called “Turnkey bbPress by WeaverTheme”; at least now all the children are shown in one column with a newline, although they still show with just (0,0) at the end, (which changes to (1,0) when making a post
Will research if there are anymore bbpress templates that can be installed anywhere.
if you have one forum and one topic, you probably don’t need a statistics widget 🙂
However I’ve logged a defect
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3428#ticket
Will it create any problems changing it or why is this function like this (wouldn’t everybody like it unticked I mean?)?
It should not create problems if you untick.
the forums part just gives a consistent custom post structure so you have
/forums/forum/forum-name
/forums/topic/topic-name
/forums/reply/replyid
If you are running multiple forum platforms (eg bbpress alongside say wpforo or asgaros etc. – say you are transitioning), then this structure makes sense.
My personal view is that only site admins ever worry about urls. When was the last time you looked at a url for a site you were visiting.
I just visited Amazon, and this is the url I get
https://www.amazon.co.uk/?&tag=hydraamazonav-21&ref=pd_sl_781ozcfkw8_e&adgrpid=52740778523&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=441815611363&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16287605677804181215&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006704&hvtargid=kwd-10573980&hydadcr=13724_2033556&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsvmZmMn27wIVc_bVCh27fwCnEAAYASAAEgLOT_D_BwE
hardly pretty, but do I care one jot – ummmm… no I am interested in content, not the url 🙂
WP:5.7
bbpress: Who knows: Most recent download
theme: dashscroll
membership: ARMembership
Not sure whether it’s BBPress, my theme or another plugin … but the ‘child’ forums are all being bunched under the category heading. (Maybe I set it up wrong) I set a forum as a category, and then created the forums as children of that parent:
Atomz/
– Products forum
– Banner forum
and so on
The top line shows the correct format (Forum, Topic, Posts, Last Posts), but the children display as
Products forum (0,0), Banner forum (0,0) …
https://atomz.pro/tec-tocc/the-atomz-forums/ ** This has temporarily been enabled; it’s normally hidden by membership plugin. If you click through to the “The Entrepreneur Club (TEC) you will see “Ecommerce” category … and all the ‘bunched’ children under that.
I’m also wondering if the category will show the totals of posts etc. Confused
Hi
i you create a new install with just one forum and one topic and no replies and start adding the dafult widgets to the widget area then in the front of the website you get these notifications.
Please add a check for these counts if they are empty so that the notifications are suppressed.
Thank you

Hi,
is there any way to make the forum url shorter by removing the one extra “forum” that is added to the url?
I think I have the same question as this one: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum/
And here seems to be a solution: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/name-based-permalinks-without-page-and-forums/
I wonder if there is any easier way for us beginners? Anybody knows? 🤔
How do I get the page to create a new mouse like in this forum?
Create New Topic
Thanks
just taken a quick look, and yes it is your theme
eg
https://www.ggforo.com/wp-content/themes/ekko/core/assets/css/bbpress.css?ver=5.7
hides freshness on line 1511
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

I’m having the same problem, and I am using twenty-twenty theme.
When I activate BBPRess, I get a message stating that it hasn’t been tested on my version of WordPress, currently up to date on version 5.7.
I’ve deleted BBPress and re-installed and activated it, and the commands still don’t appear.
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help

Having the same problem. Suddenly the index page shows nothing. Even tried to change the slug in BBPress settings. No change.
Have you solved your problem?
ok, in which case…

thanks, but of you only protect at ‘page’ level, then all topics and replies are freely visible to users – they are only hidden by people not knowing a topic title.
bbpress itself has forums visible to all (public forums), and/or visible only to logged in (private forums) it does not have a concept of page protection for someone not logged in.
Hence the widgets do not have any protection.
Hello,
I run the website for my local beekeeping branch, sbka.org.uk
We have a couple of forums that, as they are for members only, are on password-protected pages. Members can see what’s in the forums by using the ‘members area’ password but need to log in to post new topics or replies.
I want to display the most recent posts in the sidebar using the bbPress Recent Topics widget. However when I implement the widget anyone can click on the link and go straight to the forum by-passing the password.
Is there any way to stop the widget by-passing the password protection on the Forum page?
Hi,
I’ve installed bbPress, however the FORUM in the Dashboard does not show up.
Hope you can help.
ok, I think that is buddypress not bbpress.
try
https://buddypress.org/support/
I have it only on Local Host, any site I create with BudduPress + BBpress always appears this Activies Group, in the Home tab
Thanks, but I Just found #16 here:
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
With this in place I can just add the backlink in the forums description then. I need to hide the breadcrumb then via CSS on the forum page and also in the page I used the forum shortcode.
Maybe in future we can build a better solution for this matter. But also my use case might be kinda special.
I think the answer is #16 in this article:
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
So thank you! 🙂
I just noticed there is an issue with the < vs. gt;
it needs to be < in the code.
sorry, but you are assuming that your site is exactly the same as everyone else’s.
I have no idea how you are creating these menu items, and suspect is a wordpress not bbpress question.
If you would care to give a link to your site rather than images I might be able to hep further.
At the moment all you are doing is showing me pictures of your car and asking how to mend the engine 🙂
The quickest way will be to turn on debugging in wordpress and come back with tne exact error you are getting

If you can’t do that, then it could be a theme or plugin issue
