Hi all,
I have deleted bbpress about a month ago, and google still crawling its data. I have many error pages on coverage and most of them like these:
?bbp_reply_to=6804&_wpnonce=2637e1a871
?bbp_reply_to=6804&_wpnonce=6dc026a681
?bbp_reply_to=6602&_wpnonce=b033dc5d03
?bbp_reply_to=6602&_wpnonce=83220f89ce
?bbp_reply_to=7816&_wpnonce=4380d31098
I think these are refering to bbpress reply and causing Alternate page with proper canonical tag.
google is hitting my site too much, and I am trying to figure out the reason, and discovered that google is crawling 19k pages and all errors.
can someone please tell me how to solve this or delete the date completely? before deleting bbpress, I reset all forums and cleared everything but still google sees them.
Hi – I have successfully added a bbpress forum (Version 2.6.4) to a new site with a custom theme on WordPress (5.3.2). I’m wondering if anyone can help recommend plugins to tackle some (I think) fairly standard requirements.
I’ve tried a few combinations myself without complete success so I’d really appreciate some guidance.
I’m trying to –
- Allow user registration (sign up, get password, manage profile, password reminder),
- Admin manually approve/suspend/delete users,
- Prevent spam,
- Import users from the previous forum using a csv of username and email.
Sorry if it all seems a bit basic but I’m tying myself up in knots finding the right plugins.
Hi there,
I’m building a website with Elementor Pro and bbPress.
I created 2 different Headers: a main one for the Landing page and blog, and another one for the forums.
I used the shortcode to display the forums index on a page I’ve built with Elementor and the Header works fine. But when it comes to the automatically created single pages (topic, reply, search, etc.), it displays the main Header.
I contacted Elementor support, not knowing if the issue was on their side or on yours, and they told me I had to contact you, explaining me this :
“For your information, we usually find this happening when creating custom post types where it is excluded from showing in menus via the custom post type’s “show_in_nav_menus” option; this option is found in the post type’s “register_post_type” function used to add it in WordPress and may be set to “false” in this case […] we highly recommend contacting the bbPress support team to help with changing this option to “true”. The solution we suspect would be similar to using the function code mentioned in this bbPress support post but with the ‘show_in_nav_menus’ variable set to ‘true’ > https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/ ”
So, here I am! Can someone help me, please?
Thank you!
After the last update, all pages disappeared from the front page.
“Could not find page”. As if permalink was wrong.
They could all be seen on the admin side.
When I disabled bbpress they all reappeared.
Do I really need to disable bbpress to make the pages work?
I just wanted to point out that Enlighter is a fantastic plugin for syntax highlighting.
Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter
The current version works with bbPress 2.6 although it has a conflict of interest with one feature. It is discussed here:
https://github.com/EnlighterJS/Plugin.WordPress/issues/211
At the moment I don’t really know how I can supress the conflicting CSS styles referred to in the above link.
I should also point out that at the moment the version 4 beta is not working with bbPress yet. Although, it is supposed to resolve the aforementioned issue concerning conflicting CSS styles.
Eitherway, I am happy to know about Enlighter. Thumbs up from me!
I tried to post as code….will try again. But this didn’t work.
function rew_max_length ($reply_content) {
if (strlen($reply_content)<500) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be less than 500 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
}
return $reply_content ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_max_length' );
I don’t know how technical you are, this one does the opposite
function rew_min_length ($reply_content) {
if (strlen($reply_content)<61) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be at least 60 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
}
return $reply_content ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_min_length' );
Oddly, the sidebar content for user shows (username, links to topics, etc.) even though there is a 404 error where the main forums should be. I tried running bbPress with almost all plugins disabled and default theme enabled – still get the 404. But when main page is refreshed, forums display correctly.
sorry, we only fix bbpress issues 🙂
Hi again Robin,
Trying my luck now as it’s no longer for the bbpress part of the page but I’m facing a similar issue with a post carousel I have.

I tried editing the css code you provided me but with no luck.
Any suggestion?
Thank you,
Kev
Hi
I have the following trouble with the ‘Hello’ theme :
The bbPress root ‘forums’ isn’t displayed correctly with Hello although it’s ok with ‘twenty twenty’.

Thank you! I sent some love through PP on your website for all your work! Hoping I can take this and make it work for topics too.
I tagged you in an old separate topic if you have any solutions for my replies problem on the front end:
Redirection when newest replies are at the top.
basically bbpress has the ability to add columns via a filter
This should do it
add_filter("bbp_admin_replies_column_headers", 'rew_IP_column_add');
add_filter("manage_reply_posts_custom_column", 'rew_IP_column_value', 10, 3);
function rew_IP_column_add($columns) {
$new = array();
foreach($columns as $key => $title) {
if ($key=='bbp_reply_forum') // Put the forum ID column before the Replies forum column
$new['rew_id'] = 'IP Address';
$new[$key] = $title;
}
return $new;
}
function rew_IP_column_value($column_name, $id) {
if ($column_name == 'rew_id') echo get_post_meta( $id, '_bbp_author_ip', true );
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
I found this code and can now show five popular entries on my frontpage 🙂
// Top five of bbpress on startpage
function rk_top_five_view() {
bbp_register_view( ‘top-five’, __( ‘5 Most Popular Topics’ ), array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_reply_count’,
‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’ ,
‘ max_num_pages’ => ‘1’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ ),
false );
}
add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘rk_top_five_view’ );
Thanks

Wow, this really solves the issue with Visual Editor content styling. Thank you very much!
unction bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = array(
'content_css' => '/wp-content/themes/mytheme/css/tinymce-editor.css',
);
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
How to add this to: https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ ?
not certain this will work, but put this in the custom css area of your theme
#bbpress-forums ul li::before {
content : none !important ;
}
Hi there,
New to bbpress plugin and we’re busy setting it up. Upon installation we noticed that some icons are rendering in the forum which I quickly found out shouldn’t be there.
Any one that know how to remove these orange icons from the forum part?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
Hi,
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4);
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4);
not work bbpress 2.6.4
is there any new code?
registration is a function of WordPress, not bbpress.
you can switch it off using
Disable New User Notification Emails
ok, can you list them here and I raise a ticket for you – I’m not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out on here.
ok, you should only receive bbpress emails when you create a topic or respond to a reply, and tick the ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ like the one below the reply box on this thread.
can you specify a couple of examples of what you are getting ?
1. No additional plugins, vanilla bbPress
2. if you mean in the front end, then no, I just created a form
3. no
This is just a simple forum for about 20-30 local guys to chat and joke around.
(I like the avatar BTW)
bbpress only send out emails you ask it to !!
1. are you using additional bbpress related plugins?
2. are you subscribed to forums?
3. are you using buddypress?
