for moderation This one still works as far as I know and would let you moderate guest posts
bbPress – Moderation Tools
as for registration, bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so a plugin that does that would be fine. You don’t state what plugins you have tried, and why they didn’t work – if you find one that is close, come back.
Hello!
I don’t know whether my site has had this from the beginning or not, since I haven’t used <!-- nextpage-> before, but…
Paging works on normal pages (post_type=page), but on forums paging causes the “too many redirects” error (even with a post with just text, no links, no images).
My site has a DV certificate from the web host provider (they took care of everything), Settings → General has the same https address for WP and the site.
WP 5.4 and bbPress 2.6.4
I am trying to achieve the following:
Allow users to post as guests but those would always go to moderation first. Registered users can post normally.
Allow users to register to my forum through some social plugin so they don’t need to register yet to another website. I just haven’t found a suitable social plugin that would help with this.
Point with all this is to lower the bar for people to start using the forum.
Any help would he highly appreciated.
I am running WordPress version 5.4 and bbPress version is 2.6.4. Website is in coming soon mode so I can’t provide a link to it.
thank you for such a quick reply, appreciate the great support! In the meantime we found a conflict between forums page and forums prefix in settings of bbpress. solved now, all good

then open it, and post the contents in this thread please
Hello,
after about 3 years of using bbPress without any issues, we have an issue with the index page – the standard one that is specified in settings -> forum is not working. There is just the header and the footer displayed from the theme, no content at all.
When I create a new page using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index], it is working fine. And all the threads and posts as well, they work fine on the original URLs. So it is really just the index page.
I haven’t done any changes in the forum in the last year or even more.
It is password protected, happy to share the password via a direct message.
Thanks,
Jan
Hi,
I have a notice of undefined index too after being imported some demo-data and deleted most of them. I tried to switch to 2017 theme and reactive the theme but it does not work.
Here the notice :
Notice: Undefined index: reply_count in /var/www/html/xxxx/wp-content/themes/cera/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line 70
Thanks for your help
looks like a genesis theme
try adding
bbPress Genesis Extend
that should fix it
come back if not
Hi, if someone could assist I would appreciate it.
I have a new bbPress install here: https://classthink.com/forums/forum/microsoft/
I’ve created a new page with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode here: https://classthink.com/forums/
But when I visit https://classthink.com/forums/ all I get is the Forums Archive.
It’s my — possibly incorrect — understanding that if you create a page with the same address as the forum slug, it should redirect to the page (in this case the forum index) rather than the archive.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Hello all,
I have been running BBpress for more than three of years, but started getting feedback that ‘Participants’ could no longer post or reply a month ago.
The user error message gives me no clue as to what’s behind the issue ‘ERROR your reply/post cannot be created’, and there’s nothing in the settings that gives a clue either.
I paid up to get ‘Pro tools’ to contribute something financially to the developer pot, but found no new clues in the tools either.
So this morning I thought I would chance a deactivation of the plugin and reinstall.
The moment I pressed deactivate, I got the message in the title of the post. My entire site is out of action – nothing public except the error message in the title. I can’t access the wp-admin only the FTP, but what to do? My site is out completely.
I believe I am up to date on all WP software (as flagged by the WP admin zone)… and anyway, I cannot offer any other info now.
The source code behind the message says:
Line 1: <div class="error"> <p>This Plugin needs BBpress to work, pls. install it first and activate.</p></div>
Please help. It’s my busy time of the year.

I’d like to change the bbpress word “Forums” to “Support Forums”.
Is this an easily replaceable word?
Thanks I will bear your link in mind as I do have some WordPress projects on the go and could do with help at times for reasonable cost or maybe there are things I can help with (decent copywriter and editor!)
Amazing how one bad advice can change everything – based on this $2500 quote I’ve decided to ditch wordpress/bbpress for the project and go for one click install of Vanilla and save myself $2500 to setup a forum lol.
Hello, sorry first of all I am not a full on developer so forgive any basic questions, I have only just considered using bbpress for a forum I want to setup, I am familiar with WordPress and working with various plugins, can modify basic code etc when I need to, however it’s not my main job. I’ve installed bbpress and am looking at getting a theme to work well with it. Am willing to pay for a pro theme that is simple for users, nothing that special is required.
I just want to ask how hard is it as a fairly competent end user with some technical know how to set up a basic bbpress site, add a fairly functional user friendly theme, and get a forum up and running? It’s not wordpress.org, it might have max 100 users, closed/private forum.
I had assumed like most plugins bbpress would work fairly well “out of the box” and adding a template and maybe a few additional plugins to improve functionality would not be a big deal.
However I’ve just been quoted $2500 by a developer to do the above, to say my jaw hit the floor would be an understatement! Is bbpress THAT hard to implement that I need to pay mega bucks to get something simple up and running with it?? 🙁
PS the only reason I considered paying someone was to get it done in a few days rather than a few weeks as I have my main work to be getting on with as well… Otherwise I’d sit down and work through it step by step usually!
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
FTP transfer this to your pc and edit
find starting from line 254
<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
and delete these lines
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
it come from
bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php
are you fine with FTP and changing files – if so I’ll give you intructions
So maybe long in coming, but just started working on a new bbpress BuddyPress forum.
Basically if a topic contains an invalid code such as a url (not and image url link), once submit it goes into draft mode. There maybe other reasons, but invalid code in topic is one.
I am currently working on a fix, short of making the tag available global. Biggest issue is link spamming.
can you try this in your child theme function file or snippets
function rew_get_topic_split_link( $retval, $r, $args ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'id' => 0,
'link_before' => '',
'link_after' => '',
'split_text' => esc_html__( 'Split', 'bbpress' ),
'split_title' => esc_attr__( 'Split the topic from this reply', 'bbpress' )
), 'get_topic_split_link' );
// Get IDs
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $r['id'] );
$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );
// Bail if no reply/topic ID, or user cannot moderate
if ( empty( $reply_id ) || empty( $topic_id ) || ! current_user_can( 'moderate', $topic_id ) ) {
return;
}
$uri = add_query_arg( array(
'action' => 'bbp-split-topic',
'reply_id' => $reply_id
), bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $topic_id ) );
$retval = $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '" title="' . $r['split_title'] . '" class="bbp-topic-split-link">' . $r['split_text'] . '</a>' . $r['link_after'];
// Filter & return
return apply_filters( 'rew_get_topic_split_link', $retval, $r, $args );
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_split_link', 'rew_get_topic_split_link' , 10 , 3) ;
function rew_is_topic_split() {
// Assume false
$retval = false;
// Check topic edit and GET params
if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ! empty( $_GET['action'] ) && ( 'bbp-split-topic' === $_GET['action'] ) ) {
$retval = true;
}
// Filter & return
return (bool) apply_filters( 'rew_is_topic_split', $retval );
}
add_filter ('bbp_is_topic_split' , 'rew_is_topic_split' ) ;
I had this reply @robin-w:
I’d suggest filing a bug report with bbPress.
The issue is that TML registers ‘action’ as a public query variable with WP. WP has a check in WP::parse_request(), which ensures that all GET and POST values of public query variables match. If they don’t, it dies with the error message you are seeing.
For whatever reason, bbPress uses a different action key depending on GET/POST context. In this specific instance, the GET value of ‘action’ is ‘split’. However, the POST value (set via hidden field in the form) is ‘bbp-split-topic’. This difference is causing the condition described above.
In code:
$_GET['action'] = 'split';
$_POST['action'] = 'bbp-split-topic';
if ( isset( $_GET[ 'action' ] ) && isset( $_POST[ 'action' ] ) && $_GET[ 'action' ] !== $_POST[ 'action ] ) {
wp_die( __( 'A variable mismatch has been detected.' ), __( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to view this item.' ), 400 ); }
Hi,
I have a YouTube channel with guitar tutorials. I want to start a forum in my website where followers can share they videos playing the songs to get feedback and tips from others.
My questions are:
Is it possible to share videos within bbPress?
If it is… where are the videos hosted?
Thanks a lot
It’s unfortunate that the edit capability for previous replies is timed.
Adding:
when you last reported it, I said
‘ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.
Then come back@
you did not respond to that, so can’t really help further if you don’t do the tests 🙂
Here’s the whole template right now:

<?php

Unfortunately this doesn’t work. The function gets then confused with the open and closing tags of the shortcod and echos some of them so the overall layout is broken.
Any other ideas how to fix this or achieve on another way?
Here you can see the problem: https://prime-surfing.de/prime-surfing-forum/forum/prime-surfing/
Edit: I added a second section below this one with this code:
echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]bbPress FORUM SHOULD BE HERE![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]');
This works fine so this tells me that the do_shortcode function interprets all the shortcodes right but something in the injsection of bbPress is not working along with the way I am trying to solve this.
