Hi everyone,
I’d like to share a very useful snippet for bbPress that I had a hard time finding on Google, but which can save a lot of time.
For many communities it’s extremely helpful to have the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box checked by default. This way, users are automatically notified of new replies and are more likely to come back to the forum and engage in the discussion.
Here is a simple solution that works on the latest WordPress + bbPress. Just add it to your theme’s functions.php or into a small custom plugin:
// Auto-check the "Notify me of follow-up replies via email" box (topic + reply forms) add_action('wp_footer', function () { if (is_admin() || !function_exists('bbp_is_subscriptions_active') || !bbp_is_subscriptions_active() || !is_user_logged_in()) { return; } ?> <script> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { var t = document.getElementById('bbp_topic_subscription'); if (t && !t.checked) t.checked = true; var r = document.getElementById('bbp_reply_subscription'); if (r && !r.checked) r.checked = true; }); </script> <?php }, 99);With this snippet, whenever a logged-in user creates a new topic or reply, the subscription checkbox will already be checked by default.
Of course, the user can still uncheck it if they don’t want notifications.This small trick makes it much easier to keep members engaged and ensures they don’t miss important replies.
Hope it helps others too, since I believe this should be more widely documented!
Hello everyone
My site was created with WordPress 6.8.2 and BBPress 6.2.14 with the WordPress 2025 theme block template.
In the BBPress documentation titled: “Layout and functionality – Examples you can use” at:
in line 12 it says:
12. Add a modal login (pop-up) window
This is quite neat and the instructions add it to the menu and, if necessary, add the login/logout.The login looks like this

Instructions can be found here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/I tried to access it, but unfortunately the link gives an error of
Error 404 – Destination Not Found.Please advise on how I can enable the above mentioned forum registration and login pop-up in my site’s forum?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Topic: Latest reliable PHP version?
What’s the latest version of PHP that bbPress can reliably run on?
The most recent update says it improved PHP 8.2 support, but it crashes on the dev site I’m running that is on 8.2.29. Is there an earlier version that is known to work well?
Also, does anyone know what the developers’ plans are for PHP versions beyond 8.2? I was hoping to upgrade our sites to 8.4, but bbPress is the limiting factor on a couple of them.
Hello everyone
A code snippet is needed to suspend the publication of topics and replies submitted by forum members until the forum administrator approves (something similar to what is in place for site comments until the administrator approves).
A code that can be run in a BBPress function file or a WPCode plugin php snippet file and work.
Thanks in advance for your help
Topic: Post Edit Error
With a script I made with chatgpt (and a lot of testing), I managed to migrate an old custom forum to bbpress.
I only have one error… basically, when I go to edit a post, I get a page error.
Virtually all the posts I try to edit (if a thread has 5 replies, all replies have that URL on edit) have this URL /?reply&edit=1 (I’ve disabled the parmalink for now).
Do you know what I could do?
If I try to edit the thread, it works.
ThanksHi,
We have been using bbPress for a long time, and it has never given us any problems, so something has changed, and I can’t figure out what. I don’t have a caching plug-in. If you go to the Forum, click on the Topic, it says “This topic is empty” in the Topic (there has been for years.) I have not changed the theme, or WordPress version, it just stopped working.Forum path: domainname/company-bulletin-board/companyforum/company-calendar/
Topic that appears as link in the above Forum: domainname/company-bulletin-board/topic/key-dates/ When you click the link in the Forum, the topic says, “This topic is empty” which it is not.I tried as an experiment to substitute, “/companyforum/company-calendar/” for “/topic/” but that did not work. This is happening for ALL the Topics, they all show “This topic is empty.”
When I go to the list of Topics and click on the View in the WordPress Dashboard, again it says for every single topic, “This topic is empty.” Each topic has a lot of content.
How do I fix this please? I am out of ideas, especially since it just, “stopped working.”
Thanks so much for your help. Much appreciated. This is a members only Forum, so I worry about publishing the links. I have been through earlier posts from folks that have had a similar problem, but nothing has worked.

Topic: Need help in user roles
I have created a forum website using the bbPress plugin. However, I’m facing an issue with user access levels. Currently, any user can publish a post directly on the forum without moderation.
What I want is for users to be able to visit the forum and share their views, but their posts should first go into a “Pending Review” status. Only an admin should have the ability to review and publish these posts.
Please help me configure bbPress to enable post moderation before publication.
