@dragoeco, Thanks a lot for posting this. This notice was driving me crazy. Can I ask why you say “bbpress is not causing it.” It seems like this is something that needs to be fixed in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php.

I checked it out with QueryMonitor and it didn’t appear that any other plugins were involved, though I’m rather out of my depth here and might be confused.

[packzap]

I’m running the the latest: {bbPress version 2.6.13) / WordPress version 6.8.1}. I’ve been running bbPress for 10 to 15 years, starting with the 0.x versions. I notice when I look at the database in MyPHPadmin there are many tables with the prefix of bb_ and even more tables starting with wsy****_.

So just to review, when we move the bbPress/Wordpress installation from one server to another we do so in these steps?

1. Copy all web files over to new server
2. Copy the database.sql over to new server
3. Edit the first few lines of wp-config.php with the pertinent new database settings
4. Go into the Admin panel of the site and make sure the bbPress plugin is active
5. Then go to Tools, Forums, click the Import forums tab, select Platform, bbPress1 and enter the pertinent database details
6. In the table prefix section be sure to add the prefixes from your database (in my case bb_ and wsy****_, i guess entered as bb_wsy****_?)
7. Click Start, and then fold your hands together and pray the import works 😉

what version of bbpress are you using?

[packzap]

bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.

So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok

So, does that mean I only need to copy the wp_ files and folders from the old server, not the bb_ ones? And of course, the database.sql.

Since the forum has been running for 10+ years the sql file is pretty huge (250 MB). And I assume the bbPress import function taxes the database server resources too highly and it balks.

I also added bb_ to the import, table prefix section with no luck. I also tried the Repair forums section without success. Sigh!

I guess i will have to try breaking up the database tables into smaller sections and try importing them individually that way. Or sadly, return to the original server.

Has anyone been able to migrate a large bbPress forum database over from one server to another?

[packzap]

I thought I would easily move my bbpress (version 2.6.13) / WordPress (version 6.8.1) installation from one server to another by copying all the files and exporting/importing the sql database file and adjusting wp-config.php.

However after moving everything over I can access the new WP installation, see all the plugins from before (all deactivated), but cannot see or import the bbPress forum.

I activated the bbPress plugin but don’t see any of my previous forum names listed.

In the WordPress Admin dashboard, I went to Tools, Import forums, put in the database settings (platform bbpress1) and clicked import, but it immediately stops on step 1.

Since most of the articles in this forum about moving servers is 10 to 15 years old. Maybe a refresh of an overview on how to do it today would be helpful. If anyone can throw in some ideas, I would appreciate it.

Update – I have a BBPress forum (2.6.13) set up on WP (6.8.1), using BBP Style Pack (6.3.0) – and it is fantastic!

I find that I need to have ‘Enable advanced FSE theme support’ selected or my forums disapear from the site! They are ‘private’ forums, which may or may not be relevant.

Hi All,

I’m hoping someone can help me with this. I am using BBpress in conjunction with my membership site, MemberPress. I send a lot of important updates through BBpress. I have 10 different subscription plans on my site. However, I only want to send notifications to some of these specific plans. Is there a way to seperate who receives notifications based on the plan they sign up to? The only way I can think of is to manually subscribe users to the forum after they sign up to my site. Ideally, I’d like a way for this to be done automatically based on the chosen plan.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Hello..

Yes, I want Change my bbPress permalinks in my forum,

from:

Error

to:
https://bbpress.org/troubleshooting/error-5/

So, I want:
Delete: forums
Delete: topic
Add: ForumName “not forums btw”

Can I do that plz?

E.T.A.
Why?
Because my forum will be about cars, I’ll want to include the car brand in the permanent link.

For example:

https://cars.com/bmw/why-my-bmw-app-is-not-working

[Robin W]

could be hundreds of reasons, and may be coincidental of 6.8 or may not.

so 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 have a website that uses bbpress forums.

The bbpress forums have worked for 5 1/2 years. When WordPress 6.8 came out, it broke. Now, when members log in, they can only see 2 forums and even those don’t work. When I log in as an admin to word press, all the forums are there. When a member logs in, they only see two broken forums. The updated bbpress plugin did not fix it. Reverting back to a previous Word Press version did not fix it.

Can I get any help with this?

Hello

I’ve been using bbPress on a couple of my WordPress sites and it’s been working fine so far. But I’m wondering how well bbPress integrates with SEO plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math.

Do SEO plugins actually help with indexing forum topics and replies? I checked my Search Console and noticed some of the forum pages aren’t indexed, or maybe they’re indexed without proper meta descriptions.

[Robin W]

possibly because you are using an FSE theme.

so try a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

I just installed bbpress plug in. Why does my forum page show this :

[Sculley]

Hi there,

We’re using bbPress with the Simple Membership plugin, and the site is built with the GeneratePress theme. Here’s the staging site for reference: https://iu9d4mv2wm-staging.onrocket.site/forums/

Login is handled through Simple Membership, but profile behavior is different than the typical bbPress/WordPress setup.

When a member creates a topic or reply, they can click on their avatar or name to access their forum profile — which includes favorites, subscriptions, activity, etc. However, if a user hasn’t posted yet, there’s no way for them to access their profile, because their avatar/name doesn’t appear anywhere.

Is there a shortcode, function, or recommended method to add a “View My Profile” link at the top of the forums (or anywhere else), even if the user hasn’t posted?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

[Robin W]

I’m not quite sure what point you are making.

bbPress does not support blocks, it may do at some future stage, but it does not do this now.

Wordpress support uses bbPress and has a fix they have decided to do in order to support blocks.

I did some experiments to see if I could get blocks working with bbpress.

I said in the other thread that I could not get blocks working with 19.7, so it is probably not surprising that you couldn’t either – I’m not sure why you thought this would work. I did get it to work with 16.7, but I have not tried it since 6.8 was released (nor do I plan to).

It is up to plugin authors to decide what they wish to support within their plugins, and whilst you think it would be good to be able to use blocks, this is entirely up to the authors of free software.

Whilst personally I would not wish to impose blocks on my forum users, as I find it unintuitive, I would support adding the capability for those that do want it.

For the time being, unless you can get it to work, then you have the editor as per this forum, or the visual editor which can be added using the bbp-style-pack plugin.

[Robin W]

ok, I am just a guy trying to help, I do not work for bbpress, and I simply listed what I did on my test site to get it to work.

so I cannot help for your specific site, but you have installed guttenburg 20.x when the instructions say a different version.

But if the instruction don’t work, then you are on your own to get it going.

[Chefranov]

I tried, I installed bbPress, Block everywhere and Gutenberg 20.6.0 but it doesn’t work. If I don’t install Gutenberg plugin I get critical error on the site. If I install 20.6.0 then I don’t see reply window and see js errors:

Store "core/interface" is already registered.

Uncaught Error: You tried to opt-in to unstable APIs without confirming you know the consequences. This feature is only for JavaScript modules shipped with WordPress core. Please do not use it in plugins and themes as the unstable APIs will removed without a warning. If you ignore this error and depend on unstable features, your product will inevitably break on the next WordPress release.

So do I need to install more plugins? bbpress, blocks everywhere, gutenberg?

[Chefranov]

Hi!

I’m wondering if the support forums on WordPress.org are powered by bbPress or a custom solution. I noticed that replies support Gutenberg blocks, which is not available in the default bbPress plugin.

Is WordPress.org using a customized version of bbPress with Gutenberg integration? If so, is this integration available publicly, or is it a custom internal implementation?

Thanks!

[DragoWeb]

Same notice here, with v2.6.13. So I patched includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php

line 42 : esc_html__( 'Forums', 'bbpress' ),
to : function_exists('esc_html__') && did_action('init') ? esc_html__( 'Forums', 'bbpress' ) : 'Forums',

and line 119 : 'search_string' => esc_html__( 'Search Forums...', 'bbpress' ),
to : 'search_string' => did_action('init') ? esc_html__( 'Search Forums...', 'bbpress' ) : 'Search Forums...',

and it’s gone.

I had several similar notices from different plugins, and I suspect WPML to cause this issue. I can’t deavtivate it because last time I did it was a complete mess 😅

I don’t have much time to go further this now, but I saw this topic so I guess Bbpress is not causing it.

[Robin W]

This post suggests it has been an issue for a while

Not working with ACF Pro 6.2.8 version.

seems to suggest an issue since version 6.0.5

I’d suggest you raise it again with ACF

Contact

[Chefranov]

I found a plugin that affects this. It’s Advanced Custom Fields Pro. I don’t have any additional fields (ACF), just installed plugin. I created empty site and installed plugins.
Also tried with Free version of ACF and it the same. Could you check this conflict?

STR:
1. Install and activate bbPress
2. Install and activate Advanced Custom Fields (Free or Pro)
3. Open Dashboard → Replies → Add new reply

Expected result: page with creating a new reply
Actual result: 500 error and error about memory leak in php logs
