When I was looking at some of your example sites I really liked the way the topics were listed instead of just the number of topics on the following site — https://thebloodsugardiet.com/forums/
I’ve been looking around and trying to find a way to list the topics, I do have the bbpress style plugin but didn’t see what I wanted.
The current display of my forum looks like this — https://iowaminiz.com/membership-forum/
I was hoping that I would not have to create a child theme and do code in the PHP files to accomplish this. I’m more comfortable with adding some CSS code.
Thanks
I suspect you are feeling some frustration as am I !. I have been supporting bbpress for 14 years, and I wrote the first version of bbp-style-pack over 10 years ago and have developed and supported it since then.
Every website is a combination of WordPress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff.
That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues, so what works on my test site is not guaranteed to work on your site.
So what I ask you to do is based on my best view of what might be the issue, but I am using past skill and knowledge to make informed guesses.
so can you send me a screenshot of the following page
dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Dashboard Admin
thanks
Hi, is there a way to remove the path above the forums please? WordPress version 6.7.2, bbpress version 2.6.12, Learndash version site: https://dataciseopenlearning.org/
Good Day!
The BuddyPress function bp_core_get_user_domain is deprecated since version 12.0.0, in \bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\members.php
Deprecated: Function bp_core_get_user_domain is deprecated since version 12.0.0! Use bp_members_get_user_url() instead
I found this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/please-fix-this-problem/ and I don’t have BP Classic
I found the function bp_core_get_user_domain in BuddyPress itself,
file: (buddypress\bp-core\deprecated\12.0.php) is marked as Deprecated since version 12.0.0
It’s very easy to replace the bp_core_get_user_domain to bp_members_get_user_url, I don’t know why it takes over a year to make this change!!
Apologies, I have been on holiday.
I am not a bbpress author, but I have added this feature into one of my plugins.
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Dashboard Admin>item 5 and tick to enable
Thanks for that info. I didn’t realize there was a 2.6.13 in the works. It says on the download page that 2.7.0 is “what we run here at bbPress.org” — is that still true, or would it be 2.6.13?
I’m really glad to hear that you’ll be having more time for bbPress! (And I’m sure I’m not the only one.)
Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on
There are a few ways, but I usually use the Roadmap.
See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
You’ll see the various releases as headings there, and you can click around to get the various ticket reports.
It’s all pretty fluid though. For example, the 2.6.12 release wasn’t really planned, so the minor issues got bumped to 2.6.13, and if a new security release needs to happen quickly, they’ll get bumped again, etc…
I appreciate the kind words. I love bbPress, and I do hope to be able to put a lot more time towards it again!
@johnjamesjacoby, It’s really good to know that you still read the forums. Robin is great, but he doesn’t do releases. I assume we’re depending on you for that. Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on. But I just don’t know how to make those queries. Any info (or help on how to get it) would be appreciated!
And thanks so much for the all the work that you do on bbPress! I for one am glad that bbPress is stable. The last thing I want is a bunch of new features. But updates when things are deprecated by WP (or BuddyPress) are *very much* appreciated.
There is a pull request (on GitHub) to bring support for this into bbPress, and I hope to review it soon!
See: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/pull/30
👋 Hi there!
It’s mostly still me working on bbPress, with bug reports & help here and there from the community which are always helpful and appreciated!
I simply forgot to update the Codex page, so thank you for asking here 😅
The build & release process is still pretty manual, because it includes updates to multiple WordPress pages & such (as you’ve all noticed here).
(I do read the forums almost every day, and think they work best when I stay out of them and the community helps itself & each other – and moderators like @robin-w are obviously especially helpful.)
Yeah, I know. You can actually find it there but you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom and then you still have to click on the Blog link. So you might as well go right to the blog.
What I’m still trying to figure out … If you go here: https://bbpress.org/download/
Then it shows a 2.7.0 Alpha release.
Maybe someone who understands the “process” here better can comment on how you figure out what the expected timeline for that is, and how you search in the Trac database to determine what’s going to be in it. I can’t quite figure that out. I sure wish it would include ticket #3589 which is preventing me from updating PHP 🙂
It’s not clear to me whether the person? People? who actually make the releases watch this forum or not.
Thanks for that.
I guess I was being silly by checking here instead: https://codex.bbpress.org/releases/
In the plugin admin page I had clicked on View Details > Changelog > Check out the releases page.
Cheers

I think it’s here: https://bbpress.org/blog/
Looks like a security issue.
I see an update (V2.6.12) is available for BBpress.
However, there are no release notes for this version.
I’ll be staying on V2.6.11 until I can view the changelog/release notes.
Does this mean that no one using bbPress can export old forum posts with content to a new website anymore?
This must be an issue that many people are experiencing.
The code seem to work just fine, tried both plug-in and hard code to theme. Issue is when active it remove the dashboard items o manage the forum. Even in plug-ins the settings link is missing from the BBPress plug-in.
We currently use the most recent php 8 and WP 6 as of 2025 and buddypress and bbpress.
Unsure of what else it might break so currently have it disable.

Possible Explanation for bbPress replies import issue
It seems we may have found an explanation for the issue with importing replies in BBPress.
From what we now understand, bbPress has changed the way replies are linked to topics. Previously, topics and forums were connected using the post parent meta field, making it easy to import and structure data. However, it appears that replies now reference a different column that contains the topic ID.
The issue arises because the old database contains topic IDs that are unique WordPress-generated values. When importing into the new site, these IDs don’t match because the new site generates different IDs for topics. As a result, replies are unable to connect to their corresponding topics since they are searching for IDs that do not exist in the new database.
- In the old database, the topic IDs are unique WordPress-generated values.
- When importing these into the new site, the IDs don’t match because the new site generates different IDs for the topics.
- As a result, the replies don’t know where to connect since they are searching for IDs that do not exist in the new database.
This change in how replies are structured seems to be the root cause of the problem. If anyone has encountered this before or has suggestions for handling ID mapping efficiently, feel free to share your insights.
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that when using the rich editor in bbPress, there is no clear connection between the label and the text field. This means that screen reader users may not know which field they are typing in or hear what they have entered.
With accessibility becoming increasingly important, especially with the WCAG Act coming into effect, I was wondering how others feel about this. Should bbPress improve the way the rich editor interacts with assistive technologies?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Have you encountered similar issues, and do you think this is something that should be addressed in future updates?
Looking forward to the discussion!
Thanks!
after hours I get this code that works so fine!!
function bbpress_comentarios_ajax() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#bbp_reply_submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // Impede o recarregamento normal
var form = $(this).closest('form');
var formData = form.serialize();
$.post(form.attr('action'), formData, function(response) {
// Recarrega só a área dos comentários
$('.bbp-replies').load(window.location.href + ' .bbp-replies > *');
form[0].reset(); // Limpa o campo de resposta
});
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'bbpress_comentarios_ajax');
enjoy 🙂
thanks for all that – I’ll take a good look when I get back
as a by the by, they might ask you to change the title – they made me change one I inherited which started with ‘bbpress’ they said made it look like it was owned and written by bbpress whose name is owned by WordPress. There as plenty of plugins that do this already and haven’t been asked so you may get away with it, but I had to change it from ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ to ‘Post Comments as bbPress Topics’
Hi @robin-w,
Feel free to study the code at https://github.com/webmandesign/bbp-block-theme
Thank you for your fix via your bbp style pack plugin. As far as I understand, your plugin also provides means to style bbPress plugin. In my plugin this is not an option – it really just enables bbPress for block themes.
For how the plugin actually works check the info in readme.txt file.
Just in case anyone is looking for a solution, I’ve just released a plugin fixing the bbPress display in block themes.
The plugin needs to undergo a WordPress plugins repository review, which queue times are long currently, before being available at WordPress plugin repository. So, meanwhile you can download bbPress for Block Themes plugin at GitHub.
