Whenever I activate bbpress on my site, my theme breaks…
This started happening with the WordPress 5.5 Upgrade yesterday.
If I deactivate the bbPress, then make my theme changes. Then reactivate it, all works. But I am not allowed to do ANY searchs in addplugins (Stalls) no deletes or theme page changes.
#bbpress-forums is the ID for forums – suggest you ask here on how to hide breadcrumb
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/breadcrumb-navxt/
Actually I found out why. apparently bbpress and bbtweaks were trying to live in the same page so just by unchecking “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)” the issue was solved
Hello,
I would like to select with CSS selector for BBpress forum pages to hide Breadcrumb NavXT.
Is there a CSS code ?
THanks for your help.
Hello. I have installed bbpress and bb teaks. I have created 2 topics in the forum. but whenever I click on either one, it automatically redirects me to my home page instead of giving me the pages to add/edit the posts.
Any help is appreciate.
I have to sort topics and replies in bbpress forum changing code how can I do it?
Our forum is behind a membership wall, but since updating to the latest version of bbPress forum users who have signed up for new topic notifications under various forums are not receiving those notifications. We have bbPress 2.6.5, bbPress Private Groups 3.8.3, and GD bbPress Attachments 4.1. We use SendGrid for mail delivery so I can see that topic reply notifications are being sent and received. Any ideas where I can look? I’ve gone into the “Repair Forums” and “Upgrade Forums” functions and run everything that looked applicable, including upgrade user topic and user forum subscriptions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I would like to know how to make bbpress show the username on the posts instead of the Users First and Last name.
Wordpress 5.5 with bbpress 2.6.5
You’d just create a page – say called ‘registration’ and put the form in there. The form would mail you and you’d go into dashboard>Users>create new to create a new one.
If you are using bbpress widgets, then there is an area within the widget setup that lets you put in the registration url, which is the permalink of the page you set up.
Robin, about using a form for manual registration – where would I put the form? Is there a specific page that bbPress creates where I’d need to put the form? I use Gravity Forms. Thanks!
I am using Divi with bbpress and I’m having trouble editing some of the pages to match the rest of the site.
On this page – https://isvconnected.com/my-account/ – you’ll see the blue header at the top. But on the profile pages – https://isvconnected.com/forums/users/ryanyork/ – it’s not there and I can’t figure out how to add it. Im assuming Ill have to use the template files.
Anybody familiar?
no idea if this will help
How to Use bbPress addon
can you ask this is the elementor support as well – seems like a lot of people get hassle with elementor and bbpress eg
Hello theme by Elementor
if you want anyone to be able to register for the forums, yes you do, and if you do then yes anyone can register, wordpress and bbpress use the same userdatabase.
Otherwise, you are looking at a manual registration system, which is quite easy to do, just use one of the many form plugins available – contact form 7 (and add the flamingo plugin) is very popular, and add users.
or if it is bots registering, use one of the many anti bot plugins available eg captcha to prevent bots registering.
Does bbPress provide any way for admins to adjust a user’s subscriptions?
I can do it by “switching to” that user, of course. But I’m just curious if there’s some way I’ve missed to do this without switching back and forth.
so do you know what files in bbpress you have changed ?
bbpress will continue to have new releases, and this will be an ongoing problem for you.
There are lots of ways to keep changes to bbpress outside of the core files.
Hi, since some “bigger” modifications in our bbpress page im not able to run the complete security update.
Can somebody let me know if its possible only to update the effected files to close the security issue?
I tried to find out but until now i dont find an answer here.
Hi Mike, thank you for your quick reply! I’m always a little concerned about messing with plugin files, so I will need to decide whether to try that or try the plugin that’s recommended. I do appreciate the availability of really useful plugins like bbPress. Thanks.
@2cats, just out of curiosity is it the mechanics of putting in the patch that you’re uncomfortable with. Or it it the fact that you (or your clients) would then have to deal with the patched code when updates happen.
Also I’m assuming that you’re aware of the plug-in mentioned above that fixes some of the current bbPress bugs.
Clearly the bbPress developers (who donate their time) can only do so much. But I too am curious how the priorities are set. BuddyPress recently ran a survey asking users about their priorities. I wonder if there is something like this in the works for bbPress. Sometimes I also wonder about the feasibility of a group of users with specific needs *hiring* a bbPress developer to make certain fixes and integrate them into the build. But these are just random thoughts of someone who doesn’t really know much about how these things work.
topics can be ‘sticky’ or ‘super-sticky’
sticky posts go at the top of their forum
Super sticky posts go at the top of every forum
sounds like your topics are becoming super sticky
you can look at these in then backend
dashboard>topics>edit topics and select topic > topic attributes on top right hand side> Type
they can also be set in front end
where in the topic they show in admin as
stick (to front)
if you click the ‘stick’ then it is sticky, if you click the ‘(to front)’ it becomes super-sticky which is very easy to do by mistake.
on relationships, bbpress uses wordpress ‘post-parent’
so a reply has a post parent of the topic it belongs to
a topic has a post parent of the forum it belongs to
and a forum has a post parent of a forum if it is a sub forum, or a category if it belongs to a category
These relationships are also stored in the post_meta table
details on ‘children’ are not kept – for instance displaying topics is done by a function called bbp_has_topics which selects topics where the post_parent is the forum concerned. bbp_has_relies has a similar serach for replies where the post_parent is the topic concerned.
I’m not exactly sure how to describe this problem. But I’ve seen this happen twice now. The situation is that there are several forums, and each one has a “sticky” post at the top, describing the guidelines for the particular forum.
At some point, the post at the top of one forum is duplicated on all the forums. So forums B, C, D, … all have the “forum A Guideline” post at the top of them (in addition to their own guideline post).
I’m not very good with images, but I hope this kind of shows what’s happening:

FWIW, when I look in the database. The post in question shows its parent as the proper forum.
On a related note, I’d love to know how bbPress figures out the relationship between forums, topics, and posts. I see that each element has a pointer to its parent. But I haven’t been able to figure out where the pointers to a forum or post’s children are.
The only documentation I was able to find on the database is:
Stored Database Data
Could somebody point me to further documentation? Or let me know if I just need to read the code (specific pointers would be appreciated).
no sorry not a function in bbpress or style pack
I edited the php file indicated in the trac ticket. On my setup this is:
public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php
This is a very simple change to one line, but it does require editing the bbPress code, and (AFAIK) can’t be done in a child theme. So you would have to keep this in mind every time you update bbPress.
If you’re not familiar with doing this type of thing, then you probably want to either:
(1) Consider using by bbp-style-pack by @robin-w, which I *believe* fixes this. Robin can answer questions about that.
(2) Just wait for the bug to get fixed. I don’t really know how the priorities for bugs are set, but my impression is that this one could take a while. I might be wrong.
Got it. Thanks!
Just for those who are curios, you need to edit your php file located under site/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php
