I’m running 2.6.6 on 5.7 on my test sites, all I can suggest is
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

Hi
Something did go astray in the link supplied. The widgets do now show.
BBpress Forum

Thank you
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your response.
We are using v2.5.14 before and we’ve updated it to v2.6.6.
The template file is “loop-replies.php” which is inside the directory “/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress”.
Here’s the screenshot for comparison reference.

We have the “v2.5.14” on left of the screenshot and we have the “v2.6.6” on the right. As you can see this functions “bbp_topic_subscription_link()” and “bbp_user_favorites_link()” were removed on the updated template.
Thanks!
Is bbPress 2.6.6 compatible with WordPress 5.7 ?

no, most bbpress sites will be 2.6.6 and this was released in November 2020, so if this was an issue it should be well known by now.
I need to find out where in the bbPress plugin editor I can find the number of answers in the topic discussion forum. I need to correct the incorrect total number of responses on the page.
Thanks for the information.

On my post / pages, the Tiny MCE Visual Editor displays as it should, ie a row (or two) of grey and black icons, allowing user to select align right / align left / justify etc. (I mention that in case anyone thinks I’m referring to the ‘basic’ buttons as shown on this forum posting options) As such, I don’t think it’s the theme / plugins causing the problem.
However, once “bbPress” fires up, the buttons go crazy, and ‘inherit’ the CSS styles from the theme. (The vendor who created the “WP-Edit” plugin says in an article that some themes are DESIGNED so that the buttons change to the theme colours; I want to keep the default colours)
In another post, RobinW suggested the “bbpress-pack” which has done a great job getting the forum set up the way I want … but it doesn’t redress the button problem.
I am using:
Theme: dashscroll
Plugins: ARMember (membership plugin)
bbPress
WP-Edit (to change the buttons on the editor)
I THINK there is code I can place somewhere that effectively filters this settting so that it doesn’t take effect … but what I need to filter for, or the code to use I have no idea.
NB: The “Visual” and “Text” buttons also seem to be inheriting the font size / padding of theme as it is also displacing the text on said buttons.

Because of different html code (using tabs in html) the space is not the same in one widget! And the items do not vertically align correctly. See image and link


BBpress Forum
Hi,
We are having the following issues after we have updated the bbPress plugin version to 2.6.6.
1.) Topic favorites and subscription button are missing.
We’ve actually checked the template file where those buttons were being displayed and the functions that shows those buttons were not here anymore. We’re wondering if there’s any reason why it was removed on the latest plugin version update.
2.) When user subscribe to a forum, the forum is not listed on the “Subscribe Forums” page under members page. e.g. /members/111/forums/subscriptions/
WordPress version: 5.6.1
BuddyPress version: 7.2.1(latest)
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

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?
