Hi @roestru,
I saw a similar error message with “Image Upload for bbPress” plugin.
After enabling wp debug turns out i had to fix the permission of the temporary folder this plugin creates:
“/wp-content/uploads/hm_bbpui_temp”
after fixing the owner i was able to upload images again.
I didn’t modify them. They are all still setup just like they come in when you install bbpress.
We have been trying to build a mobile app. It requires an API to handle the following:
1. Create a new topic,
2. Reply to a topic,
3. Subscribe to the forum
4. Subscribe to a topic
5. Display the name of the user who created the topic
6. Display the name of the user who replied to the topic
7. Delete a topic he created
8. Delete the reply he created
9. Edit the topic he created
10.Edit the replies he made
We have been testing this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/
Not only was it old, it does not handle any function related to “write” functions. For example, we can pull out the bbPress info (Read), but we could not use this API to create topics or submit a reply.
With this limitation, it is hard to imagine people will stick with bbPress as mobile becomes more crucial.
Yes, we could create custom solutions using WP REST API, but this is not ideal for bbPress. And more important, we could not find the latest documentation.
Please address this gap or if there is already a recommended solution, help as many people know about it as possible.

Hi,
I have installed WPLMS and BBpress BUT I don’t see Forum, Topics or replay option anywhere in my WordPress dashboard. I did deactivate BBpress and activate it again but it still same issue. Can someone help me please
Thanks
ok, just tested and my original code works fine on my test site.
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
I don’t have anything like that.
I only got few plugins linked to bbpress (bbp Style pack, unread posts, etc..).
Robin, Thank you so much.
Our developer already looked into it before we posted the question. The plugin does not carry “write” kind of functions. It can “read”.
Do you know any plugins that might allow a user to post into bbPress?
yes, as keymaster go into her bbpress profile – easiest is to find a topic or reply from her and click her name to get to her profile – and click subscriptions.
you will then see the topics and forums she is subscribed to, click each one and you can unsubscribe.
If there are hundreds, come back and I’ll try and help further
Hi,
We are building a mobile app that will utilizes the bbPress for its core function.
We are looking for an API that will allow the user to do the following.
1. Create a new topic,
2. Reply to a topic,
3. Subscribe to the forum
4. Subscribe to a topic
5. Display the name of the user who created the topic
6. Display the name of the user who replied to the topic
7. Delete a topic he created
8. Delete the reply he created
9. Edit the topic he created
10.Edit the replies he made
Can you point us to the API if there is any, or the documentation that will help us create the API? Thank you so much.
just tried a shortcode in the footer of my test site running twentyten, and it works on both bbpress and non bbpress pages using the text widget
The function is_bbpress() is for any page of bbpress
Does not matter, it is account or forum or topic… on all pages…
Footer is built with visual composer…
If i use a shortcode to display forum index, the footer works fine. as soon i click into form:
https://<domain>/forums/forum/<forum name>/ footer breaks
https://<domain>/forums/topic/<topic name>/ footer breaks
https://<domain>/forums/user/<user name>/ footer breaks
It becomes as: [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”…” ….]…….[/vc_row]
Looks like on those page the WordPress function do_shortcode is disabled/unactivated…
Do this make more clear on what pages and what happens with footer?
can you give an example – eg of a footer shortcode that breaks and what bbpress page
Ok but how come when I reinstall there is still nothing no menu nothing at all except bbpress listing in the plugin list
Hi
This is a major issue with bbpress and I could not find a resolution to it. I found couple of similar requests but no one have full resolution.
Basically, if page can be recognized as is_bbpress() true than the footer shortcodes breaks.
How to fix that? Is there some patch?
if you ran ‘reset’ then yes that deletes everything in bbpress, so you are starting again.
Installed BBPress alongside buddypress got some forums setup and assigned to buddypress groups but experienced 404 error on forum pages so ran the bbpress tools to reset.
Now everything disappeared all the forums that were created even the bbpress forum menu.
Deactivated deleted and reinstalled several times but still no change.
What am I missing? Is there a way to fix this?
I dit the trick with some CSS improvments :
width: 100px;
padding: 2px;
@media(max-width:580px) {
div#bbpress-forums {
overflow: visible !important;
}
#bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links a,
#bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links
{
width: 100px;
padding: 2px;
color: grey;
}
}
Not showing correct topics under forum not even under wp-admin
though old, this plugin still works
bbPress – Moderation Tools
what is the best way to get notifications of new comments from newly resisted users to the forum?
Do I need to login each time to WordPress or should I receive an email telling me of a new comment so i can monitor. Maybe there is an app?
bbPress:Version 2.6.6
WordPress 5.5.3–ko_KR
Many thanks I will give it a try. However there is so many things that is not working properly so its starting to become a case for some freelancer site. I dont really know what I am doing 🙂
I read your guide: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
But I cant get the forum to display using method 1 in the above guide. And method 2 is the one I have done from the start but cant get to look the way i want.
If the plugin “bbp style pack” fix the design, there is still the issue with weird menus and different urls within the forum etc. Could it be that I created the forum before changing WP-theme? Could it help to remove BB-press and then reinstall it from the ground up?
Hi Robin,
Thank you for your suggestions! This plugin seems to be very helpful for Troubleshooting.
I tried both of your suggestions to no avail. Saving the permalinks didn’t change the links, and the same behavior occurs.
Disabling all plugins and reverting my Theme to Twnetytwenty allowed me to observe a “404 Not Found” error without being redirected to the home page. It seems like these links like “forums/page/2/” point to non-existing pages, and bbPress doesn’t pick up what topics should be displayed there.
Any other ideas on how can I further investigate the issue?
try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – that resets the permalinks
If that does not work, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
